Santos said the property sits in a DEP Zone 2 wellhead protection area and within the Nantucket Public Wellhead Recharge District, and that a certificate of water quality compliance from the local water company will be required prior to building permits. He described a stormwater design with infiltration and water‑quality measures for the roadway and individual roof recharge systems for each lot.

The applicant requested a set of standard waivers: reducing the paved travelway from 20 feet to 18 feet, narrowing the layout from 40 feet to 20 feet, allowing a hammer‑head turnaround in place of a standard cul‑de‑sac, and waivers for sidewalks, bike paths and street lights. The applicant provided a swept‑path analysis showing fire apparatus can enter, turn and exit the site; Mr. Santos said buildings will be sprinkled and a hydrant will be installed to satisfy fire‑safety requirements.

Board members asked for improvements and additional detail. Hillary Mayport, a Planning Board member, urged an hours‑of‑operation and noise plan for future commercial tenants and asked for a landscape/screening plan. Several members asked the applicant to pursue potential future easements that would create pedestrian or vehicular connectivity with adjoining Richmond properties and with the short, paved driveway that currently provides informal access to the state forest.

The town’s consulting engineer, Ed Pesci, reviewed drainage and stormwater comments in a staff memo; Mr. Santos said he had addressed many technical items and would submit revised plans and a response letter to the engineer for sign‑off. Board members said sign‑off from Pesci, a water‑quality certificate from the Water Company, and written confirmation of fire department review would be required before any building permits.

The Planning Board did not vote to approve the subdivision at the meeting and continued the item to the July 14 meeting to allow the applicant to revise plans and documentation on drainage, site landscaping, fire access, and potential cross‑parcel access easements.

Why it matters: The property is in a commercial zone near other developing parcels; the board’s decisions on waivers, stormwater design in a wellhead protection area, and whether to require future shared access will affect traffic circulation, public safety and groundwater protection in the area.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Nantucket Planning Board - June 9, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Board continued review of a proposed four‑lot mixed‑use subdivision at 4 Nancy Ann Lane after questioning requested waivers, stormwater design within a DEP Zone 2 wellhead protection area, and opportunities for future pedestrian and vehicular connections to adjacent properties.","taxTitle","Nantucket County, Massachusetts","taxId",61456,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6207017,"Developer agrees to year‑round deed restrictions and road improvements for 27 Old South Road plan amid traffic concerns",171,4009000,4180000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3759459-3f33e6df3e28c241a147391b9aa647ae&start=4009&end=4180","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3759459-3f33e6df3e28c241a147391b9aa647ae/thumbnail_4009000.jpg","/articles/6207017/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Developer-agrees-to-yearround-deed-restrictions-and-road-improvements-for-27-Old-South-Road-plan-amid-traffic-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6207017-ea823057f52ffb31792eeb91a6e23a4a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136837&Signature=AILcA7CZASVP~bVfN7CiOVYB~r9hyniaXs-Be2S9xb-ISIRUJitrNThT4P7ti-AFj7-VP2IBQg7vbVDECG~qE02Z9NyyJv8Irni6wnl9h0Ywnh-ZQ6SF-55OgHMr7rydFlrl0XF3zNEG2lGunPEfQykGaA3ymuZfAFWZDDD1gKS6ZI2aGqIH5t1oWW6jwdqXIRJDfF8yf3m1VUeO87k72NBJPhYC~Gc~SHZwS~zjNDPT-ScBzrf4aSAVTxxHLLeSuWWFWs4g7xBrZ-ZnVvHH9cq2oIxxkkb5mhuQj8600XE-7gvY-hfqof2rQ7RkDHp7xdA8TaMZR2vODgp9yCBrmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Developers seeking approval to build multiple residential units at 27 Old South Road told the Nantucket Planning Board they will deed‑restrict units for year‑round occupancy and complete roadway and sidewalk improvements to reduce impacts on the neighborhood.

An applicant representative, identified in the meeting as Dan, said the team met with Town staff and would implement the board’s recommendations, including paving Rupord’s Way and upgrading sidewalks. “We are in agreement with what's in the staff report in terms of recommendations,” Dan said, adding that the project team expects to incorporate the board's requested infrastructure work into the final plan.

Chris, another applicant representative, told the board the developer had discussed an affordability strategy with town housing staff and would proceed with the proposed year‑round deed restrictions for two units and offered additional year‑round deed‑restricted units if feasible. “We're willing to put all of them on year‑round housing restrictions to be able to help with that,” he said.

Nearby residents said traffic and parking on Old South Road are already substantial. Anna Switlik, who lives adjacent to the site, told the board the narrow, two‑way road experiences heavy traffic and said she worried emergency access and everyday movement would be worse if the project adds vehicles to the corridor. Campbell Sutton and other commenters urged stronger pedestrian connections and clearer outreach to seasonal and workforce residents.

Board members thanked the applicants for the commitments on road work and deed restrictions and noted the project had been amended to increase green space and improve livability. The board did not vote to approve the subdivision at the meeting but indicated the infrastructure and deed‑restriction commitments would be important elements when the application returns for a formal decision.

Why it matters: The project would add housing units on a congested town street. The board and applicants framed the deed restrictions and pay‑for‑improvements as community benefits intended to justify the increased density and to preserve year‑round housing stock.","Applicants for a proposed multi‑unit development at 27 Old South Road told the Planning Board they would deed‑restrict units for year‑round occupancy and fund road and sidewalk improvements; nearby residents raised traffic and parking concerns and asked for more outreach.",{"_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},6207022,"Planning board reviews five vision options for Nantucket master plan, schedules public review",3869,118000,3987000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3759459-3f33e6df3e28c241a147391b9aa647ae&start=118&end=3987","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3759459-3f33e6df3e28c241a147391b9aa647ae/thumbnail_118000.jpg","/articles/6207022/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Planning-board-reviews-five-vision-options-for-Nantucket-master-plan-schedules-public-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6207022-06d0ffa82b5199f982c9b606585f8c1f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136837&Signature=g9JBkC1fK~tB-0NjDlrJ4alN5WUiYIVDjv-KQJLjKb6brG~VjR0CHRne0TShKLGyB8QVFe7bqnw6P1ResKlHwxqxPqq5skGIfKr6lseHeI1xHUGmWisJtvzWnqqFokBTZzrkgbQDEbbrNQAi29Elzji6ofNq5921yI7vsoFk1yruZl5xOEu3Ykm31url20TExtpCG1Dt15szhXYiVBtbAe2-yzb-EB9e25bn677Is09iFFKY~mFr-AMBczgIfK9R7IUm9IsQlIhwffyUQSD7yYZr~r7RwM8omo~q8vJRRQjxNs-HI2HzDmBfLFkYm5Lrjln4PIUZOI3NjKKiP4mbcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dylan Sussman, a consultant with Dodson and Flinker, told the Nantucket Planning Board that the draft vision statements for the town's master plan were based on extensive public input, including interviews, a 1,600-plus respondent community survey, 11 “kitchen table” conversations, and two April visioning workshops that included students and residents.

The vision statement, Sussman said, is intended to be a 20-year aspirational statement that links community values to goals and policies: “a brief statement that is intended to be aspirational for the community while also being realistic,” he said, adding that the master plan will use the vision to guide future goals and actions.

Board members and the consultants discussed five alternative vision drafts that ranged from a one-sentence statement to longer, policy-oriented options. Hillary Mayport, a Planning Board member, said she preferred a longer draft because transparency and specificity matter to residents who participated in the outreach and “we owe it to our community in a vision statement to be really specific about what we mean.” John Kitchner, another board member, said he favored a version that emphasized resilience and detail to aid later implementation.

Several members said they liked elements from multiple drafts: shorter statements are easier to read and remember, they said, while longer versions can provide clearer policy direction. Steven Welch and Abby De Molina said they wanted something that was both concise and actionable — short enough to be read quickly but linked to more detailed goals and implementation steps in the plan's chapters.

Consultant Judy Barrett, identified as the project lead, told the board that draft inventory chapters (most but not all) had been circulated to town departments and that housing and public-services chapters were still being finalized. Barrett said the consultants will use the board's feedback to revise the vision statement and the outreach plan.

Public commenters urged broader and more diverse outreach. Maureen Phillips of Madaket said “affordable year‑round housing and coastal resiliency” should be the master plan’s top priorities. Several speakers asked for targeted outreach to demographics that have been underrepresented in past efforts, and for translations of materials into other languages to increase participation.

Board members and consultants agreed on next steps: consultants will prepare a revised vision reflecting the board's preferences (a concise statement that retains clear policy direction and measurable goals), the board will discuss the revision at a July 14 meeting, and the consultants tentatively proposed a public hearing in August. Sussman also proposed an interim Planning Board review on June 23 to provide earlier feedback on a revised draft.

Why it matters: The master plan frames land-use and public-investment choices on housing, coastal resilience, transportation and growth management. Board members repeatedly said they want a vision statement that both reflects what people said in outreach and points to concrete implementation steps in the plan's chapters.

The Planning Board asked the consultants to produce a revised draft that the board will review at upcoming meetings and open to public comment before the board adopts a final vision statement.","Planning board members heard a consultant presentation summarizing public input for a 20-year master plan vision, debated whether the statement should be short and aspirational or longer with policy direction, and asked consultants to revise a draft for further review and public hearing this summer.","actionData","errors"]
