Conservation commission issues multiple orders for residential and shore projects
Summary
The commission approved several orders of conditions Jan. 8 for residential and shore projects — including fencing at 122 Baxter, a pool relocation and addition at 67 Squam, shed replacement at 16 North Beach, and work at 8 Brant Point — generally with standard conditions for native plantings, lighting and no fertilizer in commission jurisdiction.
At its Jan. 8 meeting the Nantucket Conservation Commission issued a set of orders of conditions for multiple residential and shoreline projects after staff presented draft findings and standard conditions.
Orders approved included: a fencing removal and relocation at 122 Baxter Road (Sconset Trust, SE483948) with a limited waiver for fencing within 50 feet of the coastal bank; a pool relocation, building addition and septic replacement at 67 Squam Road (Sagebrush Migration LLC, SE483949) with mitigation plantings and lighting conditions; removal of an existing shed and construction of a new shed at 16 North Beach Street (SE483953); and porch removal and replacement work at 8 Brant Point Road (SE483950), all approved with roll-call votes and standard conditions including native-only plantings, lighting compliance, no fertilizer in commission jurisdiction and specific stormwater/infiltration measures where applicable.
Commissioners recorded unanimous approvals on the consent items after brief questions from staff and applicants. Several items required no waiver; where waivers were granted (for example fencing at the coastal bank), staff added findings that commission-determined conditions would minimize adverse impacts.
Votes at a glance: - SE483948 (122 Baxter Road, Sconset Trust) — order approved; waiver granted for fence relocation within 50 feet of coastal bank; conditions 18 & 19 applied. - SE483949 (67 Squam Road, Sagebrush Migration LLC) — order approved; no waiver required; plantings, lighting and pool conditions attached. - SE483953 (16 North Beach Street LLC) — order approved; no waiver required; standard conditions applied. - SE483950 (8 Brant Point Road, Ferrari) — order approved; no waiver required; roof-runoff directed to subsurface infiltration system required.
The approvals were primarily procedural and relied on staff-recommended language to ensure native plantings, lighting compliance and prohibition on fertilizers within commission jurisdiction.
What happens next: Staff will finalize the signed orders and communicate conditions to applicants; applicants may be required to submit additional documentation (for example final site plans or monitoring schedules) where specified.
