Land Bank approves exercising easement rights for dinghy dock at 44 Washington Street
Summary
The commission voted to approve the Land Bank's exercise of easement rights to install a dinghy dock at 44 Washington Street after confirming the deed grants that right.
The Nantucket Land Bank Commission voted June 10 to approve exercising easement rights at 44 Washington Street to install a dinghy dock, after staff confirmed the deed includes easements for a dinghy dock and a bike path.
Staff told the commission the property's deed grants the town easement rights to install a dinghy dock and to install a bike path. A property owner, identified in the record as Sheila Lucy, had requested to place dinghies that differ from those at the town landing; staff said the proposed use falls within the easement language. The commission asked whether a plan had been submitted; staff said no plan was seen in the packet and described plan review as an important part of the implementation process.
A motion to exercise the easement and approve the dock installation was called and commissioners voted in favor. The roll call recorded the following votes: John — Aye; Mark — Aye; Neil — Aye. No second or mover was recorded in the transcript.
Staff said the installation is a town project and that additional permitting and outreach may follow. The commission's vote recognized the easement rights as described in the deed; staff will pursue the next procedural steps for implementation.
