- Routine consents and move‑offs approved: The commission approved multiple consents on the consent agenda, including the move‑off/demo of a small shed at 46 Wall Street (approved unanimously) and several other routine consents voted at the start of the meeting.

- Holds for revision: The commission held several larger or more complex items for revisions at the applicant’s or staff’s request. Notable holds included 46 Walsh (garage/studio) — held so the applicant can return with revised drawings to reduce or rework a prominent second‑floor balcony — and 10 C Street and 21 Woodbury (infill and façade revisions) — both held for design revisions requested by commissioners focused on roofwalk size, window proportions and simplification.

- Approvals with minor conditions: Several applications were approved with minor conditions or as exhibits to be filed following the meeting. For example, 7 Pleasant Street was approved as submitted for minor rear changes; 21 Woodbury revisions were approved on condition that the applicant provide slightly altered portico details in a revision packet.

- As‑built violation and mechanical equipment at 31 Easy Street: Staff reported an as‑built mechanical installation that was installed without prior HDC approval. The commission authorized an approval pathway that requires the applicant to bury exposed line sets, select a conforming fence design to match previously approved fencing on the property, and return with a final plan showing condenser location or alternatives. The commission set a compliance target of September 21, 2025; the applicant must file the requisite as‑built payment and proposed corrective work by that date or return for further review.

- Lily Pond (park) fence: An application to extend a board fence at the edge of Lily Pond Park (technically on parcel 8 Westco Place) was approved with the applicant agreeing to work with town environmental staff to add native screening vegetation; commissioners requested staff oversight and a follow‑up planting plan.

Procedurally, the commission requested clearer and consistent site plans in the meeting packet for a small number of items where the applicant submitted paper plans not present in the online record. Several applications were continued or held so applicants can provide revised exhibits with the requested changes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Nantucket Historic District Commission - July 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission processed numerous consent items and quick approvals, held several applications for revisions, and set a deadline for corrections on an as‑built mechanical installation.","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},6172117,"HDC approves solid‑wood sign for 45 Main Street after sign committee recommendation",175,315000,490000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5392395-e08d39cf640e9ce6c6d0f13c17a3ad29&start=315&end=490","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5392395-e08d39cf640e9ce6c6d0f13c17a3ad29/thumbnail_315000.jpg","/articles/6172117/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/HDC-approves-solidwood-sign-for-45-Main-Street-after-sign-committee-recommendation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6172117-a48ebc1ad9c51e515238dd97c1e514a8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770976773&Signature=PvR7Cgnjbm1eC3TzjHHppDPtFlSjb2M9BdY0McfkqO6feZYas6mGx5BTVZoByVZP25ShhyARpLKauomzYh4hOYe413d0YfC6KOk7unMOK~MJku-EdQc2NN62G90HaNq2MOdL-GtZrddJ-vFAn4GdK5~VcrJjHBMXpl~b73PRFjIZ8H7ESuxqbKquYMvkdfteToEvq0HoIhQcyqwYrBa-J5sQjrWwQ-beQ-8X1CgSXuo3AU2TVSKsiVSs88XNslVidoqvmqV0htlXyajWdZx2gvKMnB35TholqTAaJ6LVByzHETidlJpt4e0iTHhKEJCMeTk7bcr0uafICNUowWd90w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nantucket Historic District Commission voted to approve a sign for 45 Main Street on the recommendation of the Sign Advisory Committee, contingent on the sign being made of solid wood rather than MDO or plywood.

Applicant Kelly Emery participated by Zoom and told the commission she was comfortable following the committee’s material recommendation. Christopher (representing the sign advisory committee) confirmed the committee had no issue with the proposed design provided the sign uses solid wood. The commission’s motion to approve with the wood‑only condition passed without recorded opposition.

The commission and staff noted the sign committee’s routine review process and encouraged clearer agenda packets and timeline guidance for applicants so public hearings run more smoothly. The granted approval allows the applicant to proceed with a solid‑wood sign as described in the sign committee recommendation.

The commission ratified the demolition/move‑off application for the structure (an approval tied to a previous 2016 demolition consent) with four members voting in favor and one abstention. Commissioners later voted 4–1 to approve the proposed new one‑story cottage on the same lot; one commissioner opposed the replacement as presented.

Supporters of demolition — represented at the meeting by the applicant’s representative, Luke — said the existing building is in disrepair, cannot practically be moved from the narrow site, and that the owners are proposing a modest one‑story replacement designed for first‑floor accessibility. Luke said the project aims to create a “very modest one‑story, accessible tiny home” with a small porch and first‑floor bedroom to meet a stated medical/accessibility need.

Neighbors and historic advisers urged preservation. Alex Borloff, an abutter, said his family’s next‑door house and the wider Academy Lane streetscape would be harmed by wholesale replacement and argued that more work could be done to retain or adapt the existing structure. Mickey Rowland, representing the Historic Structures Advisory Group, said archival documentation and Holly’s staff notes produced a mixed picture of the building’s date and recommended the commission seek clarification of the building’s historic fabric before approval.

Commission debate centered on three issues: (1) uncertainty about the building’s historic date and how closely the present structure matches maps and photographs cited in staff files; (2) whether physical constraints on Academy Lane make moving the structure impractical; and (3) the scale and design of the replacement. Several commissioners said they would prefer retention if feasible; others noted the 2016 approval and the constrained site and favored the lower‑profile, one‑story replacement. Commissioner Abby asked that the applicant add additional historic documentation to the file.

On the replacement cottage, advisory comments focused on simplifying a small west‑facing gable and the porch railing so the new cottage reads as a small garden structure rather than an overly ornate tiny house. The applicant agreed to minor clarifications and the commission approved the cottage as submitted by a 4–1 vote.

The commission recorded both approvals as formal actions and directed staff to add submitted historic notes to the application file for record‑keeping. The applicant may return with minor modifications as allowed under HDC procedures.

Votes at a glance: The demolition/move‑off approval carried 4 yes, 0 no, 1 abstain. The new cottage approval carried 4 yes, 1 no.

The commission moved on to remaining agenda items after the Academy Lane discussion.","The Nantucket Historic District Commission approved an application to demolish an existing small structure on Academy Lane and later approved a new one‑story cottage on the lot after public comment and discussion about historic value, accessibility and streetscape.","actionData","errors"]
