Conservation Commission: votes at a glance — May 8, 2025
At its May 8 meeting the Nantucket Conservation Commission issued multiple routine decisions including orders of conditions, requests for determinations and certificates of compliance. These items were procedural or non-controversial and were approved by roll call unless noted below.

Votes at a glance

- Purcell, 32 Dukes Road (RDA / no waiver required): motion to close and issue order of conditions as drafted — approved unanimously by roll call vote. Conditioned on standard items including lighting, plantings and agricultural chemicals where relevant.

- Madryn Lake LLC, 26 Monomoy Road (Order of Conditions amendment): approval to issue order as drafted for proposed regrading in the buffer zone — approved unanimously; commissioners confirmed conditions 18 and 19 remain in place.

- Nantucket Islands Land Bank: Long Pond Landing (two expired permits / certificates of compliance for SU482871 and SU482938): certificates of compliance issued for demolition/abandonment and for completed parking/pathway work; staff recommended no continuing conditions and the commission approved both certificates unanimously.

- Several minor modifications and administrative approvals were issued, including a minor modification allowing fertilization at Foxtown Farm (Nantucket Islands Land Bank) and a minor modification to rotate a previously permitted tiny house on Ocala Lane. All minor modifications were approved by roll call vote.

- Delineation requests and RDAs: The commission issued a Negative-5 determination for emergency dolphin-rescue work at the Steamship Authority slip and a Positive-2A determination confirming several wetland boundaries for Sankaty Head Golf Club; both determinations were approved by roll call vote.

- Certificates of compliance: The commission issued certificates of compliance for several expired permits after staff site visits confirmed compliance; ongoing conditions were retained only where noted (for example, lighting conditions where applicable). All certificates reported were issued by roll call.

Why it matters: the items approved in this roundup are mostly administrative and allow routine work to proceed or confirm completion of previously permitted work. The commission reserved more detailed review for larger, contested items elsewhere on the agenda.

What happens next: standard permit compliance monitoring will continue; staff will retain records and follow up on any ongoing conditions listed in each order of conditions or certificate of compliance.
