National Grid representative Tim Lifford described each petition; no members of the public spoke against the work and the board approved each petition with departmental comments.

The petitions and the project details Tim Lifford presented were:

- New service to 15 Cliff Road: approximately 20 feet of two 4-inch conduits across Cliff Road and one handhole in the sidewalk between 13 and 15 (National Grid representative Tim Lifford).
- New service to 2 Dukes Road: approximately 60 feet of two 4-inch conduits and one handhole (Tim Lifford).
- New service to 14 Harborview: approximately 15 feet of one 3-inch conduit and one handhole (Tim Lifford).
- New service to 117 Old South Road: approximately 50 feet of two 4-inch conduits and one pull box; Lifford said the pull box will be flush with the ground for the immediate work, with the potential for later upgrade to an above-ground junction box (Tim Lifford).
- New service to 30A Orange Street: approximately 30 feet of two 3-inch conduits and two handholes, one on each side of the street; the contractor planned to complete the work while Orange Street was closed for sewer work (Tim Lifford).
- Upgrades at 241 Madaket Road: approximately 100 feet of two 3-inch conduits to be located on Tennessee Avenue and crossing North Cambridge Street (Tim Lifford).

For each petition the Select Board opened the public hearing, received no public comment, closed the hearing and voted to approve the petition with departmental comments. Motions to approve passed on unanimous voice votes (Tom aye; Brooke aye; Chair votes aye). Several items included brief staff clarifications on pull-box placement and coordination with contractors performing other nearby work.

The Select Board recorded departmental comments and asked staff to ensure installations comply with permit conditions and avoid disrupting other work in the right of way.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Nantucket Select Board - June 9, 2025 (Licensing & Petitions)","oneSentenceSummary","The Select Board opened public hearings and approved seven residential utility petitions from National Grid — for conduit installations and related handholes/pull boxes at seven island addresses — with departmental comments and no public opposition.","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},6207144,"Select Board approves Queequegs' request to add 24 outdoor seats at 6 Oak St., with conditions",818,853000,1671000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3759460-ff764dd571a4eccb5d13c37945b7b42b&start=853&end=1671","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3759460-ff764dd571a4eccb5d13c37945b7b42b/thumbnail_853000.jpg","/articles/6207144/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Select-Board-approves-Queequegs-request-to-add-24-outdoor-seats-at-6-Oak-St-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6207144-1e71437d2d5d08a0bb4bc33307f8d2d7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770972913&Signature=a~FYsu9ze88iXLE6HQxF4i6l3-NCG0tItO9IO58kslXzGOqzpIInfVBr267ovJgTvw2CmIPQ4ohhwlzgP5izRDJLhlq-wwxV2K~cf05Sg-W9G2SkouzoLPBJ8C6LEOUKXuKUWNzrv70V~cjZoAs4wAhL1zAxc6SrjrFiQcdUdSsZIzR~5llxojH1h30GYG90Tw9Wvro8OWXfxD-CTfv1rGNXOh9AiqXEXWd3XJ48Vvqof1vA-oWkMExcGAy3Ux0xzqdo6PvLA7YPIm6bm-U~aFcrxlG9HDysqR3CyRqIO2smZMqGHElkMy8qdlmmm~hwy18lNW14mF7C7dmIr23cpg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nantucket Select Board approved a liquor-license alteration of premises for Queequegs LLC, doing business as Queequegs at 6 Oak Street, to add up to 24 outdoor seats on an adjacent patio, subject to applicable planning, building and licensing conditions.

Amy, licensing staff member, told the board that state policy now makes alteration-of-premises approvals for outdoor patios a local matter and that the town would report the decision to the ABCC. She said the application included layouts and photos and that the planning board approved the proposal on May 15.

Applicant John Keane, representing Queequegs, said the patio space has been vacant for decades and that the proposed outdoor seating mirrors existing table spacing at the restaurant’s other patios. “We’re not trying to cram tables in. We’re not trying to overpopulate the space,” Keane said, adding the plan keeps a single means of egress through the restaurant’s existing host/entrance and will include a gate to preserve privacy for an upstairs apartment.

Board members asked whether neighbors had been notified and whether the change would impede the apartment’s egress. Keane said the planning board outreach had produced a broader notification list and that for this specific application about four or five property owners received notices; he also said the design preserves access for the upstairs resident and includes a gate to maintain privacy.

Select Board member Brooke moved approval with the note that entertainment may not be extended to the new outdoor area and that the approval remains subject to all other applicable permits. The motion passed 3-0, with Chair (Matt) and Select Board members Tom and Brooke voting aye.

Amy and planning staff noted that if the board had safety or spacing concerns it could impose stricter conditions than the planning board or building department, but no additional conditions were added at the time of approval. Any future change that would increase entertainment or alter host/egress arrangements would require a separate amendment.","The Select Board approved an alteration of premises for Queequegs, allowing up to 24 additional outdoor seats on an adjacent patio at 6 Oak Street; approval was subject to existing permits, planning and building department conditions, and a stipulation that entertainment not be extended to the new area.",{"_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},6207149,"Culture and Tourism office reports 23 June event applications; staff warn of year-end workload pressures",296,521000,817000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3759460-ff764dd571a4eccb5d13c37945b7b42b&start=521&end=817","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3759460-ff764dd571a4eccb5d13c37945b7b42b/thumbnail_521000.jpg","/articles/6207149/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Culture-and-Tourism-office-reports-23-June-event-applications-staff-warn-of-year-end-workload-pressures","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6207149-7960142edcf6f6729a5998fd4382417f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770972913&Signature=XVi4tTIKyQNWcdD4atnw7ISm0SvHvv0M3Rnvf2Dnfd3aSSm7rRcVXiApJrNI4yfyzsBRgVt3aL7z4RfpnZSN7DAFFNNkf~JQO8tUW8SodBlove9tSw1i74TXMvYExDcABnTGfO2UySV-XIp58U~-F20~GHMBBJYEdtglfwEiqipax-aCpO3OxhlwecFEY8dT~yfmRdl1H0lkFg7~O1nWPfiXY8WmwxyjYb9V8u6avGwS8Ll6pfj14n9YgNv7zG3l9PUqth5uppmaKDDSDf0KmRY5Uc-t9F2lzfurOyLfWskyDA81C~fg~3r4PrYIHGubaXN4UNg8~6V21OFdHRcR5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dina, a Culture and Tourism staff member, told the Nantucket Select Board that the office received 23 event applications for June; 21 require town permits and seven had been permitted as of the morning of the meeting.

Dina said the average expected attendance originally listed was about 250 but fell to 168 after the office added later applications. Eleven events were expected to draw more than 100 attendees; six of those are previously approved public assemblies, including the upcoming film festival. Eleven of the 23 events planned to serve alcohol; under ABCC practice cited by staff, nonprofits may serve all alcohol while for-profit events may serve beer and wine only.

Select Board member Tom urged tighter application deadlines, saying it had been “unfair to staff” when event load concentrated at the last minute. Dina and Amy, licensing staff, said they were already coordinating across departments and looking at longer lead times. Chantal, who sits on the town’s internal special events committee, said the committee reviewed a revised special events policy in June and planned to present it to the larger cabinet in July; if approved, the board would see a draft policy in August.

Tom said he wanted to track next year’s direction to assess the cumulative impact of additional events on town capacity. Amy and Chantal said they were working on a larger plan and would return to the Select Board with proposed process changes to reduce last-minute pressures on staff.

No formal vote or action was taken on the report; the Select Board received the update and discussed process improvements.","The Culture and Tourism office reported 23 event applications for June — 21 requiring permits and 11 events expecting more than 100 attendees — and staff and Select Board members discussed tightening permit deadlines and a revised special events policy.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6207153,"Select Board approves Surfside liquor service hours to 11 p.m. to match state allowance",435,68000,503000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3759460-ff764dd571a4eccb5d13c37945b7b42b&start=68&end=503","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3759460-ff764dd571a4eccb5d13c37945b7b42b/thumbnail_68000.jpg","/articles/6207153/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Select-Board-approves-Surfside-liquor-service-hours-to-11-pm-to-match-state-allowance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6207153-4f42e87bc09eecdb23dffd1b2413adb6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770972913&Signature=PZEAomhZciHj~3Ewa~gLF2iRuLVMjV2A5PUXJM3Z0sW8GUywg4pG9wJC-qKLKYjJiMkOtgiEtWjJQTb5VDd1y93sBtf1BtzmN0iJsJ~5Y8ddqkSnN4osDvXNf-xXq~B~Pp5SvhBnQ~W-CzmOPDdz1WweT6N0IyzXU-QX3lx7PpOuVzcHpHRYeCF2Tuyozs7~k8p2L~bEUjinhFITCsGiBWA8iODDNCLspTclOlJ4FoOjYz0DwxTvnwF~yvoYjMiHhI~vgNQoJ3GjYXII1C3uHrjEhwb2DWmEYLJwv~i~fajXOOJSIyZtI4qeRfgW~jzGGGDDLOcr72OUYBZxFbscrA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nantucket Select Board voted unanimously to update the liquor service hours on the license for 1 Broad Street LLC, doing business as Surfside at 2 Broad Street, to allow alcohol service until 11 p.m., bringing the local license into alignment with state rules.

The change was requested as an administrative update after the licensee learned that state law permits alcohol service between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. Under the approved amendment, Surfside’s permit will officially allow alcohol service to 11 p.m.; the change does not alter entertainment or noise permissions.

Amy, a licensing staff member, told the Select Board the restaurant’s license was originally issued in February 2023 and that staff has “no complaints with them in their 2 years at all. Compliance has been great. Communication with the licensee is great.” She recommended consent to update the hours on the license.

Select Board member Brooke, who moved approval, said the request was “just a technical change to bring it in compliance with the state requirements.” Brooke added that neighbors had contacted her but that the license change does not authorize increased outdoor music or entertainment.

Select Board member Tom asked whether private agreements between neighbors and the licensee could set earlier stopping times. Amy said such private, neighborly agreements can exist, but local officials retain the authority to impose “reasonable conditions” or to suspend outdoor service if public peace or safety issues arise. Amy told the board that restrictions tied to unruly behavior or safety concerns could include suspending outdoor alcohol service.

The motion to update Surfside’s service hours passed 3-0, with Chair (Matt) and Select Board members Tom and Brooke voting aye. The board record notes the change applies only to service hours; any future request to extend entertainment or amplify outdoor sound would require a separate amendment.

The Select Board’s action was presented as an administrative update; staff advised members to monitor complaints and said the board can apply site-specific conditions if outdoor activity generates disturbances.","The Nantucket Select Board voted unanimously to update Surfside’s liquor license to allow alcohol service until 11 p.m., a technical change to comply with state law; the board said it could impose local conditions if outdoor service causes disturbances.","actionData","errors"]
