You can shy away from Nantucket’s annual

Town Meeting, begging off because of the

ennui-filled zoning discussions, laborious

amendment-making process and the always-

painful budget articles.

But, this year is one that should not be

missed.

Yes, there are what have come to be the

inescapable annual, neighborhood-changing

revisions to the island’s zoning districts. These

include swapping residential for commercial

uses, or tweaking the density of developable lot

space — there’s 11 of them. But, the real hand-

raisers this year are of the energy and money

saving persuasion at the municipal level.

With the town’s fiscal challenges, lowering

its energy costs and shedding excess real estate

are two options embodied in articles on this

year’s warrant. There are also several long-

standing infrastructure improvement proposals.

Municipal renewable energy

In 2006, in a non-binding referendum on

Nantucket’s election ballot, 61 percent of the

voters said “no” to the then proposed wind farm

in Nantucket Sound. However, the mood of no

wind energy at sea does not hold water on land

To my mind, the typical attorney is an

intimidating person. Lawyers are kind

of like the dentist. They’re just somebody

you don’t want to go see. It’s not that

they’re mean or unkind or anything like

that. I’ve certainly got more than my fair

share of legal-minded family members,

and most of them are actually pretty nice

people. Rather, it’s just that when you go

see a lawyer in their office, it typically

means something is wrong. Something is

wrong enough, in fact, that you need legal

guidance. And that’s never a good thing.

And then when you start writing about

lawyers, you’ve really got to watch what

you say, which adds a whole new dimen-

sion of trepidation. Like I said, the typical

attorney is an intimidating person.

Suffice it to say that Sarah Alger is not

your typical attorney.

Born in Hyannis and raised in

Osterville, this most non-intimidating of

lawyers began her legal career in the most

unlikely of ways: she first honed her

legalese by studying Romance languages

at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.

High Traffic Areas

There’s been a lot of talk recently about the need for a park-

ing garage in downtown Nantucket. Well, I think it’s time

that I offered an alternative solution.

Build a house.

You heard me right. Build a house. Or, barring that, do a ren-

ovation, or an addition, or any kind of home improvement

project that involves a local contractor. Here’s what happens

when you do that. You hire the person to do the work on your

house and this starts a labor-intensive process that involves a

lot of people and a lot of meetings and a lot of talking and a lot

of creating and modifying plans. And the thing that is most

important to the entire process, regardless of the actual size of

the project itself, is communication with those people who are

involved in the process.

Just like in any good relationship, communication is key.

Talk to the people who are doing the work. And start the con-

versation long before the first hole is dug or the first hammer

is swung or the first board is cut. Make sure everyone is on the

same page so that there are no surprises in the end. Or at least

as few a number of surprises as is humanly possible. And I

don’t just mean talk to the lead contractor. Make sure you’re in

conversations with every member of the team, right down to

the guy whose job it is to sweep the floor at the end of the day.

An important note here that needs to be mentioned.

Oftentimes contractors prefer to be the single point of commu-

nication in a project, which means that they prefer you not go

bothering their subcontractors with issues you might think are

important. It’s important –— vital is not too strong a word —

that you, as the client, respect your contractor’s wishes.

However, you also need to remember that you are, in fact, the

customer here, and if you want to talk to the electrician or the

painter or the guy building the staircase, you’ve got every right

to do so. Just make sure to go through your contractor first so

that everyone is on the same page. Communication is a two-

way street, and it’s just as important for you to respect your

contractor’s wishes regarding communication as it is for him to

respect yours.

Speaking of two-way streets, this is the part where I explain

my solution for the traffic issues that seem to plague us every

summer. A job site is oftentimes a hectic, messy place to have

a meeting where you hope to be able to hear yourself think, let

alone talk. Between nail guns and table saws and radios,

there’s enough noise inside a construction project to drown out

even the loudest of talkers. I’ve got the solution for you, and

I’m going to solve your parking problems while I’m at it.

Get in your car and drive downtown. Now you’re all sitting

there thinking that Andrew’s lost his marbles. Maybe the reces-

sion has finally gotten to his brain and he can’t think straight

any longer. Or maybe it’s the winter taking its toll on him.

But I digress.

So, you’re driving downtown. And since you’re on

Nantucket, it’s a small town where you oftentimes happen to

see folks you know driving the other direction. With a little

planning on your part, you can time it so that you and your

contractor are driving in opposite directions on, let’s say,

Washington Street at the same time. You see each other, and

being the friendly types you are, you wave to each other. And

because you’re on Nantucket, you can kick it up a notch. That’s

right. Stop your car. Put it in park. Have your conversation

right there in the middle of Washington Street, and if people

behind you get a little irked, remind them that they’re on

Nantucket and this “ain’t the mainland” and it’s a quaint little

custom we have out here on the Island of Quaint Little

Customs. And the beauty of this thing is if you just get out of

your car, you can continue your conversation while you run the

errands you need to run while you’re in town. And everyone

behind you can do what they need to do, too. Everyone gets a

parking spot and we didn’t have to build a parking garage.

Problem solved.

NEWS REPORT

she admitted recently. After all, her father was a lawyer,

and Sarah was bound and determined not to work with her

father.

But a funny thing happened on the way to employment

independence. “I had no idea what I really wanted to do

when I grew up,” she explained. During her final year of

college, she interviewed with a smattering of corporate

recruiters who came to Dartmouth looking for investment

banking analysts. “All my friends were doing it, so I

thought about doing that. I’d only taken one economics

course in college, though.” Wall Street didn’t pan out, so

she turned her attention to teaching at a boarding school.

“They made it sound so discomfiting,” she said of those

interviews.

She’d taken the Law School Aptitude Test — she

admits today that she actually showed up late for the test

— though she couldn’t exactly say why. “My parents did-

n’t even know I’d taken the LSATs,” she said. She did well

on the test, and sent in an application to the Boston

University School of Law. She was accepted and, “literal-

ly a few weeks before the school year started,” she

enrolled.

In Boston, she and her roommate took the first apart-

ment they found. “There was a mouse shellacked into the

floor,” she recalled. “And our upstairs neighbors – they

had about 15 people living up there — would do their laun-

dry in the sink, and the water would overflow and leak

down into our kitchen.” Her first day of law school was

equally inauspicious: “Everybody else had done all this

work prior to the first day of school, and I hadn’t done any-

thing. I thought I’d made a huge mistake.” But she plod-

ded her way through the rigorous curriculum. “I enjoyed

doing law,” she said. “I liked the practice of law so much

more than school.”

She spent some time during law school working in the

Massachusetts Estate Tax Bureau in Boston, which was an

experience that would later come in handy in her life on

Nantucket. “I got a lot of experience dealing with estate

taxes and a lot of experience dealing with governmental

bureaucracy.”

Sarah took a job after law school working for a small

law firm in Boston; she’d vowed not to work on the Cape,

where her father was a practicing attorney. She landed on

Nantucket, ironically enough, on something akin to a dare.

Her husband, Bruce, said to her that he bet she couldn’t get

a job on one of the islands. Not one to be doubted, Sarah

sent her resume off to several firms on the Vineyard and

Nantucket, and local attorney Foley Vaughn decided to

take her on. From there, she went to work with Arthur

Reade for 13 years, and today is the legal genius behind the

firm of Sarah Alger, PC.

Many of us know Sarah from her other role as well —

that of Moderator for the Town of Nantucket. It’s a posi-

tion she decided to seek after a conversation with Fooods

For Here and There owner Mark Arnold. Mark was, at the

time, Moderator, and he told Sarah that he would not be

seeking re-election. It was a position near and dear to

Sarah’s heart, as her father had been the Barnstable

Moderator during her childhood, and she’d grown up

going to Town Meeting with him. “I loved going to Town

Meeting,” she said. “I was the time keeper.”

She ran for, and was elected to, the position of

Moderator in 1997, and has held it ever since, dutifully rat-

tling off the details of articles, information she readily

admits her office assistant is responsible for putting togeth-

er for her. She also calls on voters at Town Meeting, most

of whom she knows by name, a fact I found astounding,

given the number of people in attendance. “It’s actually

because people tend to sit in the same seats every year,”

she admitted. Her advice to voters who want her attention

is to be pushy: “You’ve got to be pushy to get my attention

up there. Sometimes it’s hard to see with the lights shining

in your eyes. And there are certain spots in the auditorium

that you just can’t see from the stage.”

Sarah was also one of the original “Fab Five” founders

of A Safe Place, Nantucket’s domestic violence and abuse

advocacy and support center. She is the President of the

Board of Trustees of the Nantucket New School and has

served on a variety of local boards. With all of that constant

activity, free time is not something Sarah has an overabun-

dance of, though when she finds herself with a little time,

she loves to read — currently memoirs and biographies are

the genre of choice — and to visit New Hampshire, where

her two daughters are currently in school.

Despite the hectic workload, Sarah is content to keep

going. “I don’t ever see myself retiring,” she said. And that

is certainly good news for Nantucket.

Andrew Spencer, a fifth-generation summer resi-dent-turned-year-rounder, has been writing aboutNantucket since moving to the island full-time in 2002.He is the author of, “Tower of Thieves: Inside AIG’sCorporate Culture of Greed,” and also the co-authorof “Bear Trap: The Fall of Bear Stearns and the Panicof 2008.”

NEWS REPORT


given the support for up to three wind

turbines proposed for Nantucket’s

landfill in Articles 44, 45, and 46.

Up to three, 900-kilowatt wind tur-

bines are expected to save the town

$250,000 to $400,000 a year in elec-

tric costs to operate the digester at its

Materials Recovery Facility, among

other municipal power needs. The tur-

bines would stand 350 feet above the

landfill property, 194 higher than the

high school’s turbine.

Adoption of Article 44 allows the

Board of Selectmen, acting on behalf

of the town, to include wind energy

generation as an additional use of the

three lots of landfill property at 188

Madaket Road. The authorization to

spend the estimated $7.2 million

needed to make this project a reality is

embodied in Article 45. Article 46

makes the use of this land for wind

energy generation possible by creat-

ing a wind energy overlay district for

the town’s three landfill lots.

Not stopping at the landfill, the

town is also eyeing three other sites

for renewable energy generation. For

the Nantucket Memorial Airport,

Wannacomet Water Company (at

Wyers Valley and North Pasture near

the new water tower), and the

Surfside Wastewater Treatment Plant,

through articles 95, 96 and 97, the

town is hoping to install four solar

photovoltaic arrays for an annual sav-

ings of $285,530, $248,530, $231,420

and $285,530, respectively. Each of

the four ground-based solar arrays

would be capable of generating up to

two megawatts.

The solar arrays would be installed

this year if these three articles were

adopted at Town Meeting.

What to take and what

to leave behind

Through Articles 35 and 36, Pochick Avenue prop-

erty owner Christopher Magee’s proposes that the

town formally take the Boulevarde, Lovers Lane,

Okorwaw Avenue and Monohansett Road. Drive any

of these roads and Magee’s intent will become quite

obvious: the deplorable condition of certain sections

of these private roads makes them almost impassable

during and after heavy rain, snow and ice events, and

generally throughout the year.

But, given the town’s current budget crisis in

which more town employees are losing their jobs on

April 1 due to the town’s consolidation plan, making

roads currently private into public ways, which the

Department of Public Works would then eventually

rebuild and repave, does not seem high on the town’s

priority list. And, it is probably why the FinCom’s

recommendation for both of these articles is to take

no action. That does not mean, however, that Magee

cannot call these articles for discussion.

What the town would like to take, however, is the

.12-of-an-acre lot at 50 Union St. Article 92 would

allow for the widening of the intersection at Union

and Francis streets, making it easier for large trucks,

and traffic in general, to make navigate this corner.

Sewering Monomoy

One of the projects the town will surely direct

money toward that might otherwise go toward the

repaving of the aforementioned private roads is the

designing and engineering of the addition of most of

the properties in Monomoy to the town’s sewer dis-

trict. Article 73 and 74, if adopted by Town Meeting

voters, would add these properties only to the sewer

district and would secure only the money needed to

design and engineer the sewer collection pipe system

for Monomoy.

Clear community consensus exists for sewering

Monomoy, one of the needs areas outlined in the

Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan. But

this winter, the selectmen decided that the town does

not have the $15 million to begin construction this

year, so it will focus $558,000 on design and engi-

neering.

“The board has pretty much decided to step back,”

said Selectman Michael Kopko. “I think what we

want to do is read the CWMP — we now have

Madaket and Long Pond estuaries reports — and

integrate them with CWMP, and look at how technol-

ogy is advancing. There needs to be some long-term

planning and analysis on the fiscal issue of how to

pay for it There’s a lot of work to do

still. We need to figure out how and

how to pay for it.”

2FG ripple effect

Construction and opening of

Nantucket’s new public safety facility

at 2 Fairgrounds Road meant many

things to several town offices. For the

police and, eventually, the fire depart-

ment, it means a proper building

designed to suit the needs of growing

island. But it is also a chance for the

town to generate some capital and

relocate some of its other departments

in a more efficient way. After it reno-

vates the old police station at 20 South

Water St., the town plans to move the

Sheriff’s Department and all of its

offices in the Mooney Building at 22

Federal St. into this former police sta-

tion. To fund this renovation, 22

Federal, currently assessed at

$2,503,000, would be sold. If Article

93 were passed, it would set that

process in motion. If Article 94 makes

it out of the discussion alive, it would

then allow the town to sell, if it need-

ed, another of its’ annex buildings at

37 Washington St. (assessed at

$2,343,300). The Building and Health

departments, and Historic District and

Conservation commissions are cur-

rently located at 37 Washington.

Dreamland marquee

In the middle of all this monetary

misery, at least one zoning article

stands out as a bright spot of hope on

the horizon. Actually, it could be seen

as a taking depending on where you’re

standing. If you’re lucky enough,

however, to be standing in line to see

a show at the Dreamland Theater —

once the Nantucket Dreamland

Foundation completes the reconstruc-

tion of this building sandwiched

between South Water and Easy streets

— you will undoubtedly pass beneath

its marquee and see the logic for this article.

Over the past several weeks, builders have been

putting up the steel frame of the theater, so you may

have noticed a section of the frame hanging over the

sidewalk on South Water St. To continue with the

construction of this overhang, the marquee for the

theater, NDF sponsored Article 89 seeking an ease-

ment from the town that would allow this portion of

the new building to technically exist on town proper-

ty. This article also asks for similar easements for the

trespassing of gutters on South Water and Oak streets

and “a portion of coffer dam under and within the

layout of Oak Street”.

Zoning, always zoning

Devised by the Planning Department and Planning

Board to meet the evolving needs of residential and

commercial uses on the island, Town Meeting arti-

cles are sometimes designed to convert old zoning

districts into new ones. For instance, in the commer-

would levy a fee. The town sees it as a means to

bring in an estimated $1 million or more for general

fund expenditures, while homeowners and realtors

who represent them fear the new tax could further

drive away an already dwindling tourist market.

“I think rents are already being besieged because

of the economy. You can’t just tack something on

and pass it along,” said David Callahan, a principal

of Jordan Real Estate and President of the Cape Cod

and the Islands Association of Realtors. “Rates for

rentals have come down. Some homeowners who

bought knew they could get revenue, but to take

another six percent may make their properties unaf-

fordable to make ends meet.

“Nantucket is already an expensive place to visit

and people will be hit again. We are killing the goose

that lays our golden egg. We can’t just keep taxing

people and expect them to keep coming. I realize the

town needs more money to spend, but tourism is our

number one economy. You can’t keep sticking it to

those people.”

Cindy Lenhart, owner of Compass Rose Real

Estate, echoes Callahan’s and others’ opinions.

“I object to the whole idea for a lot of reasons.

The rental business has really softened. We used to

have a lot of middle class working folks that came

here on vacation, but it became out of reach — the

cost of the ferry, the cost of eating out, the cost of

rentals,” said Lenhart.

“If you add a six percent tax on top of what

they’re paying it adds to the killing of the goose. The

big thing is the rental of a private home can’t be

compared to a business. The homeowners don’t

make money; it only defrays the cost of ownership.

For the majority who move out for the summer, it

barely supports their payments.

“There is a human cry to raise money for the

town, but I don’t think this is the way to do it. It’s on

the back of the tenants. We will drive down even fur-

ther the average family who would come here and

go fishing and eat out,” she continued. “We are

already losing those people.”

Selectman Michael Kopko, a former guesthouse

operator, explained that of the current 11.7 percent

occupancy tax collected by licensed innkeepers, six

percent goes to the town and the remainder to the

state. The Article 31 Home Rule Petition seeks to

charge up to six percent of the total rent for occupan-

cy in a seasonal rental property or other such tran-

sient accommodation, including residential proper-

ties, which are let for 90 days or less.

The six percent from private renters would go to

the town with a portion deposited into the general

fund for fire, police and other residential services

and a portion allocated to cover costs for the Visitor

Services Bureau. While island innkeepers do not

reap any direct monetary benefit from the six per-

cent they pay to the town, Visitor Services is a tool

of the lodging industry by providing promotions and

information about local commercial lodging estab-

lishments, said Kopko. That return does not and

would not apply to privately rented properties.

Kopko also explained that the federal tax exemp-

tion given homeowners who rent for no longer than

two weeks at a time would remain in effect, and that

no town oversight in the form of a lodging tax office

or the like would be required for the new fee.

Charles Stott, President of the Madaket

Homeowners Association, said a quantity of its

members rent their homes for two to three weeks a

year to help with mortgage payments and assert that

charging an extra six percent will make it more dif-

ficult to rent at present prices and may cause people

to lower the rent to keep costs level.

“It will be harder on the tenant, and it is exacer-

bated by the recession,” said Stott. “It could affect

the overall rental economy which has dropped in

past years.”

Penny Dey, co-owner of Atlantic East Real Estate,

and Ken Beaugrand, owner of Nantucket Real

Estate, which this January joined as one office,

added their objections to the article. They focus

mainly on its financial impact for homeowners and

poor timing in imposing another expense on “the

lifeblood of our economy” while the nation’s econo-

my climbs slowly back to prosperity.

Bill Liddle, a broker with Great Point Properties,

said he believes the article might gather more sup-

port in the future, not now when people across all

strata all still struggling.

“This remains ill-timed,” he said. “It was voted

down last year and I wish [the town] had waited a lit-

tle bit longer for the economy to get better, but they

didn’t. I feel the advocates of the rental occupancy

tax want to portray the home rentals as a business. It

is not a business because the occupancy rate is so

low and the cost of ownership is far greater than any

revenue you can generate, opposed to an inn where

you can effectively market and rent in the shoulder

seasons along with the holidays.”

Although no Massachusetts towns have instituted

this locally based tax, several have passed Home

Rule Petitions and await legislative approval. No

new taxes can be introduced without the approval of

the state legislature, and all past attempts to do so in

this area, at the state level, have been defeated.

NEWS REPORT


Residential, respectively. This change is about effi-

ciency, allowing current uses to exist and making

room for new ones. The same goes for Article 48,

which would protect the residential aspects of 59

Surfside Road by removing it from Residential

Commercial-2 and placing it in Residential-5. It pro-

tects the commercial aspects of 57 Surfside Road by

removing it from RC-2 and placing it in the new dis-

trict of Commercial Neighborhood.

Similarly, Article 49, is designed to enhance the

residential-only feel of nine properties along

Miacomet Road by plucking them out of their RC-2

district — which is zoned for 5,000-square-foot lots

— and changing their zoning to Residential-20. The

Residential-20 designation allows a minimum lot size

of 20,000 square feet, effectively protecting these

properties from overdevelopment.

The opposite of this change would occur on four

properties on Fairgrounds and Rugged roads through

Article 50, which is asking voter permission for the

conversion of these lots from Land Use General

(LUG-2) to Residential-40 (R-40). Property owners

in LUG-2 need at least two acre to build whereas in

the R-40 zone, they will only need one acre.

Likewise, the thinking behind Article 51 is to

increase the density of 4 Nobadeer Ave., a lot on

Atlantic Avenue, and 1, 4 and 6 Weweeder Ave. by

switching their zoning from LUG-2 to LUG-1.

Conversely, this article would decrease the density of

9 and 149 Surfside Road by ratcheting it down from

R-20 to LUG-1.

cial zoning changes, check out the 2011 Town
