Ben (last name not recorded), the applicant representative, proposed “Winter Solstice,” a subdued gray, for the trim and requested blue‑painted shutters and window boxes. Holly, the preservation planner, reminded the board that the house is a circa‑1795 typical Nantucket dwelling in the Old Historic District and recommended retaining a simple, austere treatment on the house. The Historic Structures Advisory Group (represented at the meeting by Mickey Rowland) and several commissioners said shutters would add an unnecessary formality to the simple Quaker‑style façade.

The applicant agreed to withdraw shutters from the proposal and keep existing cedar shingles. Commissioners also required the skylight on the rear L‑roof to be wood and natural to weather, and they specified a muntin configuration for the skylight (vertical muntins creating three vertical lights). The board asked staff to write the approved conditions on the final Certificate of Appropriateness.

The motion to approve the application as submitted except for the shutters carried in a voice vote. Commissioners noted the color examples provided by the applicant matched earlier historic precedent used around town and that the application retained the building’s simple character rather than making it more ornate.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Nantucket Historic District Commission - April 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved a color change — described in the application as “Winter Solstice” gray — for the historic Hussey House at 15 North Water Street, and the board declined the applicant’s proposal for shutters.

Pat (last name not recorded), the applicant’s agent, said the team aggressively advertised the house and met or talked with dozens of potential takers but ran into physical constraints and neighborhood objections on likely routes. He described bridges and street berms that would require tree removal and other damage to neighboring properties to effect a move.

Holly, the preservation planner, reminded the commission that the HDC had previously labeled the building as contributing in the National Register/NHL database and that the Special Act and the HDC’s guidelines give the commission authority to deny demolition. She also noted that the applicant already has an approval for a move‑off (a “move only” approval) and that the application now before the commission sought demolition.

Commissioners expressed reluctance to approve demolition without further effort to relocate the structure. Commissioner Joe said the board preferred on‑site retention or incorporation where possible, but would accept a move‑off if a legitimate taker emerged. Several commissioners urged the applicant to keep options open rather than withdraw the application with prejudice; the applicant said he would not withdraw and asked to hold the application while exploring moves or possible interim locations.

The commission moved — and voted unanimously — to hold the demolition application for additional information, including whether an interim placement or closer relocation is possible and to monitor the existing move‑off extension (the application’s deadline was noted as July 7). The applicant was given options: sign a 60‑day extension, hold the application while pursuing other options, or reapply later. Staff said the applicant had sufficient time under the current extension and that the HDC could allow a future withdrawal without prejudice if the applicant found a move‑off opportunity.

No demolition approval was granted; the item remains on the HDC docket for follow‑up.","The commission agreed April 8 to hold a demolition/move matter for 2 Dukes Road to allow the applicant more time after reporting multiple unsuccessful attempts to find a recipient for the contributing c.1940 Colonial Revival structure; the board confirmed an existing move‑off approval remains in place.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6084760,"Nantucket Historic Commission holds 3 Pops Lane project after widespread neighborhood objections",577,1955000,2532000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2908047-655376fb39dc2bf72805fa184bd162d4&start=1955&end=2532","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2908047-655376fb39dc2bf72805fa184bd162d4/thumbnail_1955000.jpg","/articles/6084760/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Nantucket-Historic-Commission-holds-3-Pops-Lane-project-after-widespread-neighborhood-objections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6084760-e6aad6a866e9e7bb6cf35ec8206e6170/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148768&Signature=SwOn7DvMKnvuYYYy-0VjtqvzraPlFZypzC0OdkVxNJATnT9nmjLwASn5iXVx6N86uyP7BnNOHpiO-~G5v0aTygeXLAxWQUXPXCTBWyGB3GYBR2eTPzNLkul6MSV8VuVLnCP809m5dVq74z-o5Sn5AVKo~3b5FqR7ev~W2kglRRjK1Gz6~utpcufNcQWT7jfhcyzjnuw6Qmp5pkxwn20cVH27zlPeX9xf7Udf82rqlKjCzYv6xOZt2b5csKXVLckOatzelCiJM8w6heBOSw0wbxqP9YBexw0v-Ns86GqW7KplR9-PP1A7QJmQ3kIRVZIRYbX8o12XwBBOARX~XEkFYw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nantucket Historic Commission on April 8 voted to hold the application for the 3 Pops Lane infill project for additional revisions after nearly two hours of public comment and detailed commissioner discussion.

The developer, Mark Catone, told the commission the project team had lowered multiple ridge heights, reduced window heights in some masses and altered connectors between massing elements. He said the overall strategy was to keep the house low profile and maintain more of the lot’s ground-cover allowance than in earlier designs.

But the project drew repeated objections from abutters and members of the former Madaket Advisory Group, who said the design remains out of character with Old Madaket’s “cottage-scale” pattern. Bruce Mandel, speaking for the Madaket Application Review Group, said the proposal’s long, linear masses and repeated gables “are out of character for this rural, low‑density, cottage‑scaled Madaket neighborhood” and urged the commission to require clearer reductions in ridge height and fewer gable‑forwards facing Heather Creek.

Several nearby homeowners — including Paul Moran, Jean Moran, Linda Hendrickson and Sarah Hendrickson — told the commission the development would be highly visible from the water, from Millie’s Bridge and from points along Madaket Road and would alter the creek viewscape. They asked the HDC to require a site visit and stronger changes to roof lines, length and the number of forward‑facing gables.

Commissioners noted some design improvements but said key concerns remain about fenestration scale, the number of gables facing the creek and the use of horizontal boarding on a waterfront lot. Commissioner Ray (last name not recorded in the transcript) said he favored the single‑story approach but still wanted fewer gable‑forwards and more subordinate masses. Commissioner Val (last name not recorded) asked for smaller window heights and a more continuous eave line so dormers and porch roofs would integrate more cleanly.

After discussion, the commission voted to hold the application for additional revisions. The board’s motion asked the applicant to return with: revised ridge/plate heights and a clearer hierarchy of masses; a complete window/door schedule showing lower headers where applicable; any basement walkout elevations shown on the plans; and responses to the staff and Madaket advisory comments. The commission also asked the applicant to consider a site visit prior to the next public hearing and to provide renderings demonstrating visibility from Heather Creek and Millie’s Bridge.

The vote to hold followed extended public comment and multiple requests from commissioners for concrete, measurable changes to height, fenestration and siding materials. No final approval or denial was made.

The commission did not set a firm date for the next hearing; the applicant may return with revisions or request a continuance after making the requested changes.","The Nantucket Historic Commission (HDC) agreed April 8 to hold a decision on the proposed infill development at 3 Pops Lane in Old Madaket and requested further revisions after multiple commissioners and numerous neighbors said the design’s massing, roof forms and visibility from Heather Creek and Millie’s Bridge remain problematic.","actionData","errors"]
