Planning staff described photographs showing the newly placed pole “out beyond the face of the curbing” and noted the pole’s location did not match the proposed relocation. Staff said Verizon’s work-order history suggested the installation might be temporary, and the pole had been tagged with the same pole number as the existing structure. Verizon representative Mike Wallanovich told the board he could not confirm the reason for the temporary placement because the assigned Verizon engineer, Kevin, was on leave; Mike said he would investigate and report back.

Board members raised broader concerns about congestion on the nearby street segment, accessibility and the Historic District Commission’s role. Brooke told the panel that property owners should attend hearings to explain driveway and curb-cut requests and said she was “less and less willing to approve these as property owners” do not attend. Several board members said they would not finalize approvals until the HDC weighed in and the property owner explained driveway plans.

Tom moved and the board unanimously voted to continue the public hearing to Sept. 15 to allow Verizon, the property owner and HDC or DPW input. The board instructed staff to advise petitioners that driveway or curb-cut changes should be coordinated with HDC and town staff before a final license or relocation is approved.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Nantucket Select Board - July 14, 2025 (Licensing & Petitions)","oneSentenceSummary","Licensing Petitions members continued Verizon’s petition at 22 Pleasant Street to Sept. 15 after staff reported a newly placed pole that appears to be a temporary installation and is sited incorrectly; board members asked petitioners and property owners to attend future hearings and urged coordination with Historic District Commission and DPW.","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},6172308,"Board continues Verizon pole-relocation request at 314 Hussey Street after public-safety and historic-district concerns",528,318000,846000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5390316-f2c5e8c32366cb3e2f7e36ae7f78b6e0&start=318&end=846","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5390316-f2c5e8c32366cb3e2f7e36ae7f78b6e0/thumbnail_318000.jpg","/articles/6172308/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Board-continues-Verizon-pole-relocation-request-at-314-Hussey-Street-after-public-safety-and-historic-district-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6172308-3474868073d6502fdf9ceb19d5e22e0f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138195&Signature=FATdJTawa1TYQRxtLuHeOV3C~KJxHkrvlAIoZ9XfdkL2EoKg7YFkSESph34lh0Jz8~nYZMWxufEzj8Tai9najhLBA6qYpfjOQ3X6nw4qVrPrenr7fto18~EIkG8OSujw6e4JQDqPjespRukIS7-qY8lO5D3brTwEozRIXoeumBtDLb8mzPBwLI2u9jDPGAYhv7aWrexXJKWgPpV3I-UkNLeOdxx0v41~6d6i2RgSGiwJLgRlR6vPG1NSGWaZvAYOrXDMDrO7sBYO7o-vx59fjXfcH2yZzBUxFhv7oMnE95qXxG42inr~4dPKo9yFm1eXLz2~QL0nBOit2-5mYWQalg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Licensing Petitions meeting continued Verizon’s petition to relocate a utility pole at 314 Hussey Street to Sept. 15 after the fire department, planning staff and board members flagged potential public-safety and historic-character impacts.

Verizon representative Mike Wallanovich said the homeowner at number 14 requested the pole be moved 10 feet to widen a driveway. Planning staff noted the property is an historic home and warned that relocating the pole “could negatively impact the historic character of the structure,” and the fire department said moving the pole could impede passage of fire apparatus or ambulances if on-street parking remains across from the location.

Mike told the board he would investigate alternatives, including burying the line for the length of the sidewalk; he estimated the distance between poles in that area as about 120 feet and said a full underground conversion had not been presented by the property owner or Verizon but could be researched. Mike cautioned that undergrounding can be substantially more expensive and could require restoration of existing brick and paver sidewalks.

Board members expressed difficulty approving the relocation without the homeowner present and without HDC (Historic District Commission) review and said they were inclined to deny absent stronger justification. Brooke said she was “inclined to deny it” but proposed continuing the public hearing to allow the homeowner time to submit alternatives or secure HDC review; Tom and Malcolm agreed and the board voted to continue the item to Sept. 15.

The record includes requests the applicant explore smaller shifts, partial moves, or undergrounding and that staff confirm whether a proposed accessible parking space across the street could be affected by any new yellow-line curb markings.","Verizon's request to move a pole at 314 Hussey Street to accommodate a driveway widening was continued to Sept. 15 after the fire department and board members raised public-safety and historic-character concerns; Verizon agreed to investigate alternatives including partial undergrounding.",{"_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},6172313,"Board approves National Grid work at 222 Brewster Road; staff conditions require conduit outside gravel roadway",259,127000,386000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5390316-f2c5e8c32366cb3e2f7e36ae7f78b6e0&start=127&end=386","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5390316-f2c5e8c32366cb3e2f7e36ae7f78b6e0/thumbnail_127000.jpg","/articles/6172313/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Board-approves-National-Grid-work-at-222-Brewster-Road-staff-conditions-require-conduit-outside-gravel-roadway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6172313-fe27b866da93b0dd47c15ef2572ce536/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138195&Signature=HbzVKwa3wusdxtlrIlYaXw9j3-as6bTqgcdnri0F9YQOAdUaZ34pBx~Zf0VF-Jq4OZkNHdQhH7d1JqjZL55kU-97Z2aD8rkEww1XJelmvprTRKqPEitfc5~3sOlyo3CPAyM9aZJe~dVZANIjRh5R~Rmikpx0SUU0q6wkKqswbFKiAQq0rEFlcAol32QLqHcYETusT-p4Lhy37Mv0RL5ix-ELht5w0iyIE745Y4~K5hctAxDwN4MFcAvaV5tabZq08ElA4COFwN71bxBk5BipC3wGeBdSlBXZ6WYklYp0wcoXSLRvudmeimPIXZ0Eh4cVexyXVUK2jaHxwlcaJmS19Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Licensing Petitions meeting approved National Grid’s petition to install conduit and service equipment at 222 Brewster Road, with the board requiring work to occur outside the gravel roadway after Department of Public Works concerns.

A staff member relayed DPW comments that “best if the new conduit could be installed outside of the roadway because there's already sewer, water, and a number of other utilities within the roadway.” National Grid representative Jose Vasquez confirmed the company plans to place new conduit outside the gravel area of town-maintained road and to install a ground-level pad and transformer to serve the property.

Brooke moved approval “subject to the recommendations of staff,” and the board voted unanimously in favor. Tom seconded; Brooke, Tom, Malcolm and the chair recorded aye votes.

Board discussion noted DPW had flagged two sewer force mains and provided a plan showing locations; staff indicated National Grid and DPW had exchanged emails and that National Grid planned to avoid trenching within the gravel roadway. The approval is contingent on implementing those staff recommendations and coordinating with DPW to avoid existing underground utilities.

The licensing office will record the staff conditions and require pre-construction coordination among National Grid, DPW and town inspectors.","Licensing Petitions members approved National Grid’s petition for service work at 222 Brewster Road with a condition to keep conduit outside the gravel road after DPW flagged subsurface utilities and force mains.",{"_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},6172318,"National Grid granted permit to provide new service at 112 Madaket Road",132,5000,137000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5390316-f2c5e8c32366cb3e2f7e36ae7f78b6e0&start=5&end=137","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5390316-f2c5e8c32366cb3e2f7e36ae7f78b6e0/thumbnail_5000.jpg","/articles/6172318/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/National-Grid-granted-permit-to-provide-new-service-at-112-Madaket-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6172318-ad24e4548db8ffeda7cca7a1409097f5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138195&Signature=e8V-3rT3S3ZUgQFikDEeDgZf0qsM-b-D2qaQMbsK0k6aKqawVDOcyrhgX8rULKACuzr1KeamOio~OEWo7mj~e3wi~mKZgX-xytSMrGiGc1TmIhe1PU~A4Og5NGa0kXf8lBHxkyGdFvPkTwwUZKWrNasHDDLp9iEzAxVwsVsaQ5iMd-TrzmbyhQS-GoGxGieKQtWu-drzh6YwFdd36gCpqHlhM7f1BTm69JXpCRyF4yhG6rF~rjeqHLJ2sNmY8MxBVf6DwPumAjTu3X3o12880NxuX8JlplXhedBCcE~jKf46y8Y3ZiXcPU4Pf9uOvoVuM26clCrGbVXHuij87CARoQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Licensing Petitions meeting approved National Grid’s request to install new service equipment at 112 Madaket Road.

The motion passed unanimously; Brooke, Tom, Malcolm and the chair all voted to approve. The board noted staff comments would guide final placement and construction details.

No other agencies or permitting conditions were raised in the hearing record for this item, and no petitions, objections or requests for continuation were placed on the record.
