Nantucket REACT recommends Surfside Road parcel conveyance for $18,853

Other Committee · Meeting of July 23, 2026

Nantucket REACT advances two Surfside Road parcel actions and debates alternate membership. The Real Estate Assessment Committee voted unanimously at its July 23 meeting to recommend the conveyance of parcel 14 on plan 2014-1552 to buyers Brian and Linda Davis for $18,853.80, and separately approved directing neighboring property owners to subdivide a small town-owned parcel known as Medical G and return with a complete conveyance package. Attorney Susan McCarthy appeared for the owners of 133 Surfside Road, reporting that abutters the Delzells have expressed interest in a portion of the Medical G parcel needed for a septic leach field, while 131 Surfside Road owner Barbara Osborne has formally rescinded any interest in writing.

The committee also agreed to pursue Select Board approval for one or two alternate members, citing recurring recusal conflicts that leave the committee at quorum risk, with staff noting "two is one, one is none" as the case for requesting two slots. A lengthy working discussion flagged a backlog of roughly 10 stalled Land Court petitions and fragmented institutional records as the committee's most pressing operational challenge.
