Staff said the packet will be updated as materials arrive and will be posted online.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Nantucket Conservation Commission - January 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its Jan. 23 meeting the commission approved a set of permit orders, issued a certificate of compliance, approved an extension, and continued several items for additional information or legal clarity; most recorded votes were unanimous.","taxTitle","Nantucket County, Massachusetts","taxId",61456,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6374413,"Commission applies long-term net-benefit waiver and approves revegetation after driveway discussion at 65 Cliff Road",259,1157000,1416000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2144691-259c4e5075137967770ac759d101e99f&start=1157&end=1416","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2144691-259c4e5075137967770ac759d101e99f/thumbnail_1157000.jpg","/articles/6374413/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Commission-applies-long-term-net-benefit-waiver-and-approves-revegetation-after-driveway-discussion-at-65-Cliff-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6374413-a3cf05a2c4aa998244e8cd0853d4aaf6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770451408&Signature=LKFwZjJMLCBTu~a2rSNDb2yp8ZUHDXtyYdu4q-3EGw1TXeVZqNVY-MBMY4kzLEbQPxMMUrmbFpFxdEdG4vT7FHeD~MCjfWWiH~GJM96lwiaMzukSx1kytlE2ns9e5wDpu9frLy0uAymtKkMbGO~C3fW7VCKREVC6M7FRgPahN30BzWjL-B5JG11rKpZmvYOXyDohnZ8ZOFsp-goAZGGG0Lk1GNNz9UG8A4YBxvqm4rWEg588s-oyKCjGUq5jBCLgSI~O3hLehJnfRv1CXz0IMGp2z~KBmsPpHEuzzaxJcFQax-u6AraSTguOt-piJxKZ4eIGOkAQ9xcNgXy3lvqc8w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nantucket Conservation Commission on Jan. 23 opened an item for Shaw, 65 Cliff Road, SC 483883, to clarify proposed work on a section of existing shell driveway located inside the 25-foot buffer to a wetland resource area.

Mark Ritz of Site Design Engineering, representing the applicants, told the commission the portion of shell driveway within the 25-foot buffer could either be left in place as existing or removed and replanted. “We could basically remove the shell in that portion and plant it with a native seed mix,” Ritz said, describing the surface as shell over dirt with no subgrade structures.

Commissioners agreed the removal and revegetation would qualify as a long-term net benefit to the resource area and discussed applying the waiver that permits limited work inside the 25-foot zone when it results in overall resource improvement.

The commission applied the long-term net-benefit waiver to the driveway removal and required that the disturbed area be replanted with native species (no cultivars). With no public comments, the commission moved to close the matter and, by roll-call vote, closed the hearing and issued the order of conditions with the added planting and lighting/pool conditions noted in the packet.

Staff noted standard conditions on lighting, pool systems and post-construction maintenance were included; commissioners also asked that use of fertilizer and agricultural chemicals within commission jurisdiction be limited and that planting lists use native species without cultivars.","The commission opened discussion on a portion of an existing driveway within the 25-foot buffer at 65 Cliff Road (Shaw, SC 483883), the applicant agreed to remove shell material and replant native species, and the commission applied the long-term net benefit waiver and approved the matter unanimously.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6374418,"Commission asks for detailed grading plans after debate over fill and retaining walls at 76 Eel Point Road",1139,1429000,2568000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2144691-259c4e5075137967770ac759d101e99f&start=1429&end=2568","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2144691-259c4e5075137967770ac759d101e99f/thumbnail_1429000.jpg","/articles/6374418/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Commission-asks-for-detailed-grading-plans-after-debate-over-fill-and-retaining-walls-at-76-Eel-Point-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6374418-6eff13ae365a43319436a43f37760d0e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770451409&Signature=aT3A74IIV70eOXvyBREIK7VyXF0Ns3pQqKXJ0ueiw3aCQp5HRZms6IBHcNfG1XnygWgsaR0KfUYLYisfKcEZkS9KzyzJg2-B7ieSM3Nf1An4q4LF33DxwmFyfQHh7VrBFfIcjvMWjEmYVagSgeECAWuKQLWdTUvw--GvbGLgY6y4mEhCrep95cgRWjMXHsuPvpZQPMkVHnjBuiErsmgoYNka26e12VpMTmcuJmzjjy~yLDlQKL0wMvIDX0xYfvOwhCfkVE-ugk1iL9mFyaaDk74qRjeoecXUvKCLbY-mCQHZx-dO2wMy9pI9S7M97AVmBvprPtmzX-GZP11h6ZyKzw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nantucket Conservation Commission on Jan. 23 asked the applicant for 3 Star Farm LLC to submit detailed grading sections and finished-grade drawings after commissioners and members of the public expressed concern about the volume of fill and multiple retaining walls proposed for the southern portion of the 76 Eel Point Road property (SC 483884).

Mark Ritz of Site Design Engineering, representing the applicant, described a proposed development that includes a main dwelling, pool, cabana, detached garage and retaining walls. “The proposed main dwelling has a finished floor elevation of 29 feet,” Ritz told the commission and said retaining walls would wrap portions of the proposed development area.

Multiple commissioners and members of the public pressed for clarity about how much material would be brought on site, where fill would be placed, and whether the proposed walls — including a four-foot retaining wall around much of the development area — would alter hydrology and increase runoff toward adjacent wetlands. One commissioner said the project would require significant topographic change and called the amount of fill “an inordinate amount of manipulation.”

After discussion, Commissioner Arjie “RJ” Turcotte moved that the applicant provide updated plans showing final grades, cross sections and details of retaining-wall construction and material volumes. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with the chair recused from the vote; the commission continued SC 483884 to Feb. 6 for submission and review of the requested information.

Staff told the public that the commission must evaluate the permit application on the materials submitted and that further public comment will be accepted when the application returns to the agenda. Staff also said supplemental materials submitted to the office will be included in the packet distributed to commissioners before the Feb. 6 meeting.","Commissioners raised ecological concerns about proposed retaining walls and import of fill for a multi-structure proposal at 76 Eel Point Road (3 Star Farm LLC, SC 483884) and voted to require updated grading sections and profiles before proceeding; matter continued to Feb. 6.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6374423,"Nantucket Conservation Commission sets special hearing for Scauncey Beach Preservation Fund on Feb. 13",476,461000,937000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2144691-259c4e5075137967770ac759d101e99f&start=461&end=937","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2144691-259c4e5075137967770ac759d101e99f/thumbnail_461000.jpg","/articles/6374423/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Nantucket-Conservation-Commission-sets-special-hearing-for-Scauncey-Beach-Preservation-Fund-on-Feb-13","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6374423-52de4a68164ced9069d0e6fd51998395/orig.mp4?Expires=1770451409&Signature=pBLVCgJYsvqwAIUTuT16EyjNSGbSUvS7rbBitIzkOlgEvbT86FgnOr2FsO~MfVdzb60eK9b-eetAUwDO-1N7245DKh7jeiCFK-PiNWigL55xU3V48C9ruuL0g-Ob-yafZuywEA-7AJUfnkb~v8RBpfWo6KTDiGZsSTBCa0XJNr9-BswHHSg0ZDg-FJY4K3rud951Bo-Awuo0CZOAvodPXNO27p7vosdQSpavB5sX0VG~pIA3v4I-7KbBsFCBr8WR6rvY3cFnMMHLwUXN1uyEqQZzptECKCrQ35t6B12ShxO3OCTfxmyZ-mWGeAxhiekkrTIXIfNGJbLkB24Gp4Wp2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nantucket Conservation Commission opened a public hearing Jan. 23 solely to select a special-meeting date for Scauncey Beach Preservation Fund, application SC 483736, and set the hearing for Feb. 13 from 10 a.m. until completion.

The action followed confusion among parties about whether applicants had requested a continuance to Feb. 6 and a short debate about available dates. Chair Seth Engaboor opened the hearing “for the sole purpose of finding a date for a special hearing,” and commissioners ran through several possible dates and times before settling on Feb. 13.

Will (staff) told the commission that the applicants’ team had indicated a preference for a 10 a.m.–noon special-meeting window. Chair Engaboor summarized the options to the applicants and said he was prepared to continue the matter to Feb. 13 if the applicants agreed.

Vince Murphy, representing the applicant group, confirmed availability on Feb. 13. “We can continue to the February 13th special meeting,” Chair Engaboor said after consulting applicants, and the commission recorded the continuance.

The commission made the continuance formal by motion and roll-call vote; the meeting notice in the commission’s packet will be updated to reflect the Feb. 13 date and 10 a.m. start. Staff said it would post the updated packet and hearing materials online once they are available.

Because the Jan. 23 session was limited to scheduling the hearing, no testimony on the merits of the Scauncey Beach Preservation Fund application was taken at this opening. The commission advised applicants and the public that the Feb. 13 session will be the date for substantive testimony and directed staff to ensure packet materials are circulated in advance.","The commission opened a hearing solely to select a special-meeting date for Scauncey Beach Preservation Fund (SC 483736) and agreed to continue the matter to Feb. 13 at 10 a.m.; staff and applicants had earlier discussed a 10 a.m.–noon window for special meetings.","actionData","errors"]
