STAFF REPORT
CALL TO ORDER: 4:00 P.M.
A. CONVENE IN OPEN SESSION
1. PUBLIC COMMENT / STAFF ANNOUNCEMENTS
2. AGRICULTURAL MANAGEMENT
a. Community Garden/50 Old South Road Progress Update & Property Naming
The Community Garden is progressing well and still on schedule for an opening in early June.
The irrigation is installed with water spigots at each bed. The parking lot and access road are
under construction and should be done by Friday, May 9
th
. The fencing (stockade and deer
fencing) is scheduled to be installed the week of May 13
th
. The garden beds will start to be
assembled after the fence installation. The lottery for the plots will be picked this week and
everyone notified of results. There were approximately 220 applicants for the 38 46 beds.
Staff will answer questions and fill in with any up-to-date additional information at the
meeting.
Also enclosed is a list of potential names for the new Community Garden.
b. Farm Licenses Clarification
Staff is seeking clarification of the application of the term extension from 5 to 10 years for our
non-profit organization licensees such as the Nantucket Community Garden and Sustainable
Nantucket. Staff is recommending that the decision made at the meeting regarding the term
extensions of licenses apply from that moment forward, rather than retroactively, to reduce
the administrative burden on staff. If the Commission meant for the 10 year term to apply to all
licenses, those that are shorter can be easily extended and renewed at the end of their existing
terms.
3. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
a. Cisco Beach Parking Lot Update
The creation of the new Cisco Beach parking area has proven to require quite a bit of flexibility
on everyone’s part. As of Wednesday, 5/8, staff received a draft Conservation and
Management Plan from the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species
Program (MNHESP). This will enable us to move forward with transplanting rare plants as well
as mowing and fencing the parking area within the next 4-6 weeks. However, we will be unable
to re-surface the parking area until after July as there is a Northern Harrier nesting nearby. As a
reminder, the plan for this parking area is enclosed for the Commissions review.
b. 125 Somerset Rd/Maintenance Facility Roofing Bid
This invitation for bids for the replacement of the shop roof out at the maintenance facility is
due Friday, May 10th. In the event we receive bids, we would ask the Commission to award the
contract to the lowest eligible and responsible bidder subject to staff checking and receiving
positive references for their work.
c. 321 Polpis Rd Alternative Names for Consideration
Per the Commission’s request, enclosed your consideration are alternative names to be
considered for 321 Polpis Road.
d. Fair Street Park Gardening Discussion
Annual costs for this garden have exceeded $20,000 and staff is seeking feedback from the
Commission as to whether this expense is acceptable in light of recent concerns over
gardening expenses at other parks. A more detailed summary and photos of the park are
enclosed for the Commissions review.
4. TRANSFER BUSINESS
a. “M” Exemption Update
5. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
a. Regular Meeting of April 23, 2024 and Special Meeting of April 17, 2024
6. CONSENT ITEMS
a. Monthly Transfer Statistics
Enclosed for your review.
b. Warrant Authorization Cash Disbursements
Susan is preparing the bills up until Monday and therefore waits to send the warrant out
until then. As a reminder, each individual bill is reviewed by the staff member with the most
direct knowledge of the expenditure, and then subsequently reviewed by Jesse prior to it
being presented to the Commission for approval.
c. Warrant Authorization Refunding 2016 Semi-Annual Bond Payment
There is $3,980,000 outstanding left on this bond, which is paid twice per year with one
interest payment in June and one combined interest and principal payment in December.
The Commission is being asked to execute a warrant authorization in the amount of
$59,700 to satisfy the upcoming June interest payment.
d. Cisco Beach Hang Loose Helado Ice Cream Proposal
The Land Bank received a request from Hang Loose Helado, the ice cream truck owned
and managed by Chris Getoor, to visit Cisco beach once per day (weather permitting) this
summer. The truck is fully licensed and inspected and not subject to the same rules as the
other mobile food units (MFUs), as it is classified as a roaming MFU and only sells pre-
packaged foods. Given the lack of other food vendors allowed to be stationed at Cisco this
summer, staff recommends approval subject to the owners continued compliance with all
applicable laws and/or regulations related to the operation of the MFU.
e. Cisco Beach Jack Decker
Due to an exception for hot dog carts in the food code, Jack Decker received relief from the
Board of Health to sell hot dogs at Cisco Beach this summer. Staff is recommending that
the Commission approve the enclosed license to occupy a portion of Cisco Beach for this
purpose, subject to Mr. Decker’s continued compliance with all laws and/or regulations
which may be applicable.
f. Petrel Landing Oyster Upweller
Enclosed is a request from the Nantucket Land Council to use Petrel Landing for the Oyster
Upweller again this summer. An upweller is a tank system used to grow shellfish in a
protected and controlled environment. Water from the harbor will continuously be
pumped through the upweller to feed the oysters, with the utilities being provided by
Nantucket Island Resorts rather than through the Land Bank’s 15 Commercial Street
property. Staff recommends approval.
g. Muskeget Island Research Proposal
Lyra Brennan, Director of the Coastal Waterbird Program for Mass Audubon, along with
project partners in the USFWS, Mass DFW, and TTOR is seeking permission from NLB to
study the habitat use of Common Terns and Roseate Terns on Muskeget Island as part of a
regional project examining habitat use and movements of these species in areas in
proximity to potential offshore Wind Energy Areas. Muskeget is a staging area for these tern
species and was one of the largest tern colonies in MA until it was abandoned in 1948.
Terns have recently begun recolonizing Muskeget, with nesting of both species observed in
2020 and 2022. The researchers propose surveys to determine the presence of terns at
Muskeget once per week from mid-July to mid-September (pending
weather/tides/accessibility) and also request permission to camp on the island overnight
during three of those weekly visits to collect nocturnal data on the birds. The camp will be
located in an area that does not disturb the target bird species. They also request
permission to place acoustic monitoring devices to record the calls of the terns and a base
station that will record data from satellite tags on terns. All equipment and devices will be
removed at the end of the survey. This project could provide important information on the
habitat use and movements of Common Terns and Roseate Terns regionally and locally on
Muskeget Island. This information on these listed species will be invaluable as Wind
Energy Areas undergo development in currently and in the future. Staff recommends
approval of this request.

Fair Street Park
Costs at the Fair Street Park have risen over time and last year, maintenance for this garden was
$22,275.00. The extra expense is on the planters and weekly maintenance. As this is a very high-
profile, popular park that is on Main Street, we are wondering if the Commission is pleased with the
way the park looks and is willing to cover the extra expense or if they would prefer that costs be cut,
and maintenance be reduced.

Jesse,
I hope all is well. I'm sure you have bigger fish to fry to please feel free to pass me on to the
appropriate person. I'm reaching out in the hope that the ice cream truck will have the
opportunity to stop by Cisco periodically this summer.
You may remember we had permission during our first year but I found that the time
commitment requirement and the fact that there were so many other vendors there didn't make
sense for us. I know that landscape is changing and I'm hoping to revisit. We are the only
roaming MFU licence on the island so we operate under different guidelines. Ideally we'd like
to stop by for 30min once or twice a day during the summer. Would that work and if so, what
are the next steps? Thanks for your consideration. Looking forward to hearing back. Enjoy the
day.
Best,
Chris Getoor

right, but only the limited right of use as hereinabove stated.
The rights granted hereunder may be exercised from May 24, 2024, through September

(30) day written notification to the Licensor in the event of cancellation or modification of the
policy or policies. Licensee shall provide the Licensor with certificates of insurance prior to

Exhibit B
Description of Permitted Use/Project
MOBILE FOOD VENDING AT CISCO BEACH
for the 2024 summer season, subject to the following conditions:
1. Hours of service operation, not inclusive of set-up and breakdown, shall be in
compliance with requirements established by the Nantucket Health Department.
2. While it is understood that vending services are weather dependent, preference shall
be given to vendors who propose to operate up to seven (7) days per week, no less
than five (5) days per week, with particular emphasis on consistent weekend
operations when such mobile food unit services would be in high demand.
3. Due to significant erosion of the existing parking lot and the volume of traffic in this
popular destination, the location of parking of the Mobile Food Unit must be
reviewed, approved, and assigned by Land Bank Staff prior to exercise of the terms
of the License Agreement. Staff shall meet with the Licensee on site to clarify the
location of approved parking spaces that will not further jeopardize the fragile coastal
bank and that shall not interrupt the traffic flow or otherwise block sight lines.
4. Subject to Staff approval, parking of the unit is available on a first-come, first-served
basis only.
5. A trash receptacle must be kept near the vending unit. Areas must be kept clean and
free of trash while present. Further, all trash generated by an operation should be
removed from the premises, to the maximum extent practicable.
6. Use of biodegradable containers, straws and packaging is strongly encouraged.
7. Full compliance with applicable state and local regulations including restrictions
imposed by the Governor, state Department of Public Health and local Board of Health,
including but not limited to customer lines and sanitation.
8. The Land Bank's approval is contingent upon all other applicable Town permits
having been obtained, as well as compliance with the Town of Nantucket By-Law.
9. The Land Bank reserves the right to impose additional conditions as necessary
throughout the season based on issues which may arise.
10. Approval shall be valid for the 2024 summer season only and is revocable at will at
any time, should issues arise.

Mr. Neil Paterson, Chair

Nantucket, MA 02554
Re: Nantucket Land & Water Council - Oyster Upweller Request
Dear Chair Paterson and Land Bank Commissioners,
In 2023 the Nantucket Land & Water Council (NLWC) partnered with the Town’s Natural
Resources Department, and MassOyster Project to assist Carley Ray in building and
operating a small Oyster Upweller.
As a reminder this project has been a collaborative effort involving many parties and a great
deal of community support. As part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project, Carley built the
Upweller stand in the Nantucket High School shop class utilizing an old fiberglass tank no
longer of use to the Brant Point Shellfish Hatchery. The Hatchery also provided oyster spat
to supply the Upweller in its inaugural year.
Carley and her Gold Award advisor, Leah Hill, came before the Land Bank Commission
last year to request permission to site the Upweller at the Land Bank’s Petrel Landing
property. This site was perfectly suited for an Upweller, having direct access to the Harbor,
electricity and freshwater for operations, and public access for educational opportunities.
Due to the success of the Upweller in its first year, we are writing to request Land Bank
Commission approval to set the Upweller up at Petrel Landing again in 2024. We are aware
that utilities are no longer available at this location but have instead successfully arranged
to utilize electricity and water from the adjacent Nantucket Island Resorts property on
Commercial Wharf. We are simply requesting permission to site the Upweller in the same
location as 2023.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
RJ Turcotte
Nantucket Waterkeeper
