The Nantucket Conservation Commission conducted routine permitting work and several roll‑call votes on March 6 while handling a major enforcement matter in the same meeting.

Top actions: Commissioners closed several notice‑of‑intent hearings that had no requests for discussion, issued orders of conditions for multiple residential projects and approved an emergency dredging order for a ferry slip.

Key outcomes and votes (high level)
- The commission unanimously accepted the meeting agenda by roll call.
- The commission closed the McCausland application for 10 Smith Hemmings Way (DEP file No. 3897) by roll call vote; Commissioner RJ Turcotte recused on that application and the closure carried 6–0 with Turcotte recused.
- Orders of conditions issued (motions carried by roll call): Wolfram Family Trust (7 Folger Lane), Friedman (35 Pilgrim Road), Lydia Denny Palmer LLC (110 Wawinnet Road) with clarifications and added native‑plant and no‑agrochemical conditions.
- The commission approved a minor modification to permit 7 North Gulley Road to allow installation of closed‑loop geothermal wells within the previously approved work limits (motion carried by roll call). The applicant said trenches would be about 3–4 feet deep, below the frost line.
- The commission issued a certificate of compliance for Passanante, 41 Long Pond Drive, confirming no ongoing conditions (unanimous vote).
- The commission approved an emergency shoal dredging project for the High Line ferry slip (NED Site Management LLC; dredging off 34 Straight Wharf), finding the project water‑dependent and compliant with dredging performance standards (motion carried unanimously).
- Several administrative minutes were approved as a block (motions carried by roll call).

Why it matters: Those routine votes keep permitted work moving forward while the commission simultaneously addressed the larger enforcement case. The dredging vote completed review of an emergency project tied to commercial ferry operations; the minor modifications and orders of condition relate to private residential infrastructure and buffer‑zone plantings.

Quotes and context: Commission staff routinely verified DEP file numbers and confirmed when hearings could be closed as a block because no party asked to open them for discussion. Staff also added a standard requirement in landscaping conditions to specify native species and limit agricultural chemicals on permits.

Procedural notes: Several items were continued to March 20 and some actions were taken with commissioners recused where indicated. The meeting was hybrid (one commissioner present in the meeting trailer and four on Zoom); roll calls were used for all votes.
