Conservation commission approves pool-area renovations at 62 Winom/Women Way with conditions
Summary
The Nantucket Conservation Commission unanimously approved an order allowing reconfiguration of a pool patio, construction of a cabana and spa, and related work at 62 Winom/Women Way, with conditions including native plantings, prohibition on fertilizer in jurisdictional areas, and monitoring requirements.
Chair Seth Angleberg said the commission unanimously approved an order on April 2 allowing West Assort/West Assured LLC to reconfigure a stone patio, relocate pool equipment, build a cabana with covered patio, add a spa and an outdoor fireplace at 62 Winom/Women Way.
The applicant’s representative, Brian Madden of LEC Environmental Consultants, told the commission the work is sited outside the 75-foot buffer and the limit of work is outside the 50-foot buffer and that the project received Historic District Commission approval. Madden summarized the scope as patio reconfiguration, a cabana, spa, relocated pool equipment and a fireplace and invited questions from commissioners.
Commissioners sought clarification about a prior fence and its permitting history after a site plan showed an existing wood post-and-wire fence within the 50-foot buffer. Madden said the fence relocation had been staked correctly and a certificate of compliance had been issued within the prior one to two weeks.
Staff presented a draft order with detailed conditions, including limits on lighting, pool-related conditions, a requirement that all plantings within commission jurisdiction be native species (no cultivars), a prohibition on fertilizer or other agricultural chemicals within commission jurisdiction, and annual monitoring reports and photographs until a certificate of compliance is issued.
After brief discussion, a commissioner moved and the commission voted by roll call to approve the order as amended; the motion carried unanimously. The order requires the applicant to meet the stated conditions and to submit monitoring reports as specified. The commission recorded no ongoing conditions beyond those in the order.
The commission’s action was procedural and imposed conditions intended to limit impacts to resource areas; no appeal, remediation, or enforcement items were part of this decision. The commission closed the hearing and moved to the next agenda item.
