Summary
The Nantucket Conservation Commission issued multiple orders Nov. 6, approving a series of site-specific permits and RDAs; a high-profile claim to continue seasonal dune dining at the Summer House was closed for further drafting of both positive and negative orders.
Summary of formal actions taken by the Nantucket Conservation Commission at its Nov. 6 meeting (roll-call outcomes as recorded in the meeting transcript):
- Blue Heron (10 Blue Heron Way; NOI, no waiver required): Order of conditions approved (roll-call: affirmative among commissioners sitting; Turcotte recused; Williams not sitting).
- 86 & 88 Pacoima Road (NOIs; coastal stabilization designs): Orders approved contingent on removal of wooden sand-drift fencing. Applicants must submit revised plans showing fencing removed before work starts. Vote: unanimous among sitting commissioners.
- Summer House / 10 & 16 Ocean Ave (NOI/enforcement/grandfathering claim): Public hearing closed Nov. 6 after an initial failed roll-call to close and subsequent reconsideration; commissioners directed staff to draft both positive and negative orders for Nov. 20. No final permit issued Nov. 6.
- West Ashore LLC (62 Winoma Way; revised BVW delineation): Hearing closed; order approved (commission confirmed updated boundary and required annual condition reporting in the order).
- Scrambled LLC (47 Hulbert Ave; waiver required): Order issued with waiver and site-specific erosion- and sediment-control conditions, required daily debris sweeps and pre-construction plan approval by staff.
- Chaos Corner / Nassif (38 Walwynett Road; barn replacement): Order approved; HDC-approved rebuild with new concrete slab foundation allowed with conditions.
- Multiple RDAs and minor modifications: Several RDAs (Massasoit, Westco Place invasive work, etc.) received negative determinations where staff recommended no NOI required; a minor modification and certificate of compliance requests were approved as presented.
Speakers and vote records are recorded in the meeting transcript; most orders passed unanimously among commissioners present, except the Summer House hearing which produced a divided record and will be revisited Nov. 20 for a final order.
For the record, staff will circulate the draft orders and findings for items that produced debate (notably the Summer House) prior to the Nov. 20 meeting.
