Nantucket — At its Oct. 23 meeting the Nantucket Conservation Commission issued an amended order of conditions for 3 Pops Lane to reflect changes made during the Historic District Commission (HDC) review and issued a certificate of compliance for work completed at 177 Popes Road.

3 Pops Lane (amended order of conditions): Staff reported the amended plans reflect changes made during the HDC process: the existing house will be renovated, the pool reduced in size and pool appurtenances relocated. Staff noted the pool moved into a jurisdictional area and commissioners instructed staff to include the full set of standard pool conditions in the order. The commission then voted by roll call to approve and issue the amended order of conditions as amended. The roll-call vote was recorded as unanimous.

177 Popes Road (certificate of compliance): Brian Madden of LEC Environmental Consultants reported the as-built pool, spa and associated patio and landscaping were installed in substantial compliance with the order of conditions issued earlier in the year. Staff recommended issuing a certificate of compliance with continuing pool-related conditions (20–25) that include a lighting condition, a prohibition on discharging pool water into jurisdictional areas and requirements for proper disposal of pool-drain water at the wastewater-treatment plant. The commission voted by roll call to issue the certificate of compliance with ongoing conditions; the vote was unanimous.

Why it matters: The amended order memorializes changes made through the HDC permitting process and ensures pool work that now lies inside the jurisdictional buffer is covered by the conservation commission’s standard conditions. The certificate of compliance documents that required work was completed in substantial compliance while preserving ongoing conditions intended to protect resource areas.

Votes at a glance:
- 3 Pops Lane: Amended order of conditions approved (roll-call unanimous).
- 177 Popes Road (Kurtz): Certificate of compliance issued with ongoing conditions 20–25 (roll-call unanimous).
