Select Board Announcements and Liaison Reports
Selectperson Chaffee shared that the Cape and Islands Municipal Leaders Association will hold their next
meeting on October 14th at gam at the Cape Tech Regional Highschool, this meeting will be in hybrid format.
All Select Board members and Town Administrators are invited to attend.
Town Administrator's Report
Mr. Lombardi provided the following updates:
• County Amen an Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds
o Last year Barnstable County received $42M in ARPA funds, Brewster and other communities
advocated that 100% of these funds be distributed directly to the towns. Ultimately the
County decided to allocate $10M to the Towns, Brewster was eligible for a little under $500K.
o There were some exceptions to the eligible use of the funds, including revenue replacement
and Covid premium pay, at this point only a handful of Cape towns (all upper and mid Cape
towns) have received approval for their projects from the County. At the same time the
Federal Government has reduced reporting and procurement requirements of revenue
replacement expenses of ARPA funds.
o The Assembly recently introduced an ordinance that would make revenue replacement an
eligible use. This allows us to use the funds for operating expenses for various capital projects.
• Town received two grant awards:
o Coastline Zone Managements Coastal Resilience Grant Program in the amount of $288K. This
is in partnership with Dennis and Orleans on a project to develop a coordinated and
integrated approach to manage our collective coastlines and try to develop and administer
climate mitigation strategies. Brewster is the lead community on the project.

Road, made possible through a generous donation of land by a Brewster resident. Habitat for Humanity has
received their comprehensive permit and this is the last step in the regulatory process. The Regulatory
Agreement was reviewed by both the DHCD legal counsel and the Town's legal counsel. Vote tonight is to
authorize the Chair to sign the agreement. The build is expected to begin in October.

Board to review and discuss feedback, the Board will not be taking public comment. There will be a forum
where residents will have the opportunity to provide comment at a later date.
i
The presentation started
with the history of landmark properties which included the Town's acquisition of
Wing Island in 1961, the purchase of Drummer Boy Park in 1988 and Town Meeting adoption of the Master
Plan for Drummer Boy Park first in 1995 and adoption of an updated plan in 2021, which included the
proposed connectionJrom Drummer Boy Park across Cedar Ridge to Wing Island.
Access to Wing Island has been a subject the Town has sought to address since it first acquired the property,
the right of way was given to the Town by the Museum so that an access road could be constructed out to
the island. Thought i ` was never constructed, it was the intent at the time. Most recently the concept of
constructing an eleva ed boardwalk has been identified through our Coastal Adaptation Strategy, the Coastal
Resource Management Plan, the Vision Plan, the Select Board Strategic Plan and the draft Local
Comprehensive Plan.' Mr. Lombardi reminded the group that Town Meeting unanimously approved the
updated Drummer Boy Park Master Plan and spending $50K of Town funds on Wing Island boardwalk design
and permitting. Adding that the Select Board tries to inform their policy decisions from collective planning
processes and oppori unities for community input.

Mr. Lombardi reviewed the goals of the Wing Island Boardwalk project:
1. Improve accessibility

Drummer Boy Park Master Plan
Natural Resources Director, Chris Miller, presented the Drummer Boy Park Master Plan goals, noting that the
original plan was over 30 years old. Mr. Miller explained some of the recent upgrades`at Drummer Boy Park
and noted that in 2021 a Drummer Boy Park Master Plan Update Committee was formed. The goals of the
new plan that reflect the uses and desires of the community goals are to: '
• Preserve the character of the park
• Improve view of the bay
• Enhance existing uses
• Provide additional access to and throughout the park
The plan also accounts for future increased use of the park following construction of the elevated boardwalk
which includes parking plans, stormwater, and additional walking trails. Mr. Miller reviewed the locations
that the proposed boardwalk would connect and provided maps of existing trails.
Concept Plans ;'
Rich Claytor, President and project manager from the Horsley Witten Group, reviewed the proposed
boardwalk location. Mr. Claytor presented initial concepts that were formed based ons the topography,
geotechnical investigations, and investigations into both the current flood plain and sea level rise. Mr.
Claytor noted that the boardwalk as currently proposed is 6ft to the grade above the marsh, with another 5ft
or so for eye viewing. A slide was shared with the existing mean high-water level, as well as the mean high-
water levels expected in years 2050 and 2070 and the flood elevations. The current 190 -year flood plain is
14ft. For the connection from Drummer Boy Park, one possible alignment would connect to the other
boardwalk, the elevation proposed is 15ft, which would allow the flood waters to go underneath the
boardwalk. Mr. Claytor emphasized that these are initial numbers, the boardwalk does not have to be
above the velocity as there is no regulatory requirement, however it is a risk managerent decision. Adding
that the State does ask to look at the future flood waters and design accordingly. Mr.' Claytor reviewed the
low impact structural design using helical piles that have minimal footprint and have a high weight bearing
capacity and are resistant to overturning.
Proiect Funding
Mr. Lombardi reviewed the project funding, sharing that the anonymous donor was facilitated through the
Brewster Conservation Trust last year. The donation was not solicited by the Town and the donor is someone
who has a long history of local philanthropy to support conservation projects. Their donation was after the
discussion about this project had started and their donation is not tied to a specific vision for this project.

The donor has not been involved in the design process and they have not asked to be part of the process
going forward.
• Design & Permitting Cost $130,000
o Mass 1 rails grant $50,000
o Town funding $50,000
o Private Donor $30,000
i
• Construction Cost TBD* (detailed cost estimate expected once design is further advanced)
o Private Donor $1,000,000
Mr. Lombardi shared that there are a number of State grants that this project would likely be competitive
for, but there is no guarantee that the Town would secure the grant funds. Should the Town need additional
funds to move forward, we would likely have to go to Town Meeting to seek further appropriations.
Resident Feedback
Mr. Lombardi noted that the Town received 163 responses during the public comment period. Additional
comments after the deadline are included in the FYI section of the packet. Details of the feedback include:
• At least 60% Were opposed to the project as initially proposed, about 25% were in favor, and the
remaining 15% provided constructive feedback about the project but did not express a strong
position either way.
• General concerns about the project included environmental impacts to the marsh and the island, the
increase usage to the island since there will be an easier connection from Drummer Boy Park and
resource management; the ecology of the island and the extent to which the Town had the resources
to manage th6 increase usage on the island.
• There was broad concern around the aesthetics and appearance of the boardwalk.
• There is a group of residents that have formed who are opposed to the project, they have submitted
a petition to the Select Board with 50 resident signatures expressing their specific concerns as a
group, this is included in the packet.
Environment Impact
In terms of the environmental impact, there are significant regulatory considerations and in this case, there
are over a half dozenagencies that have oversight and input on the project. The Town has retained Dan
Zoto, a well-known local expert on Wing Island to conduct archeological survey for proposed project impacts.
Potential for Overuse`,
Horsley Witten is undertaking a carrying capacity analysis which will look at the extent to which the
proposed project will' have an impact on Wing Island and can accommodate the volume of visitors that we
expect. The analysis Will also take into account current usage through the Cape Cod Museum of Natural
History programming'; the most recent data is that they send approximately 10,000 visitors a year. This will
also look at anticipat6d parking capacity at Drummer Boy Park.

Appearance and Height
The project is currently a conceptual design, providing preliminary options to solicit feedback from residents.
There have been no final decisions around the specific route of the boardwalk, the height, width or
materials. The proposed height for the most part is about 7 ft above the marsh. The height is intended to
account for the anticipated sea level rise projections over the next 20 and 40 years, to construct a boardwalk
that would be above mean high tide in 50 years.
Proposed Project Ad'lustments
Based on the feedback and internal review, Mr. Lombardi proposed changes to the preliminary design to
refine the following (Concept 1):
• Reduce the proposed width from 10' to 6' and reduce the size and number of overlooks. ADA
compliance requires 5' minimums.
• Move Drummer Boy Park connection closer to coastal bank.
® Consider reducing height, there are permitting considerations that need to be considered.
Develop an alternative option (Concept 2):
• Construct an elevated boardwalk over the existing footprint, there would be no direct connection to
Drummer Boy Park, reduce width to 6', and consider reducing height.
• Provide ADA access to Route 6A sidewalker
• Construct ADA path from Drummer Boy to Cedar Ridge with marsh overlook
{
Rich Claytor provided; additional details on the concepts outlined above.
What's Next
Mr. Lombardi shared that we are looking for the Select Board to provide policy direction on the suggested
alternatives and options. With this feedback, the Town will work with Horsley Witten ;to prepare more
detailed concept plans. The carrying capacity analysis should be finished up in anticipation for a follow-up
community forum this fall. Mr. Lombardi stressed that the permitting will not proceed until we have more
public feedback and the Select Board has an opportunity to make policy decisions on tahe project after the
forum. There is no article planned for Fall 2022 Special Town Meeting,
The Select Board members took turns providing feedback and asking questions about the presentation.
Selectperson Chaffee asked for the approximate distance from Drummer Boy Park across the proposed
boardwalk, onto Wing Island and then out to the beach. Mr. Claytor shared that the total length of
boardwalk is about 2500ft. Mr. Miller after some research shared that from the circle `at Drummer Boy Park
to the beach is about .67miles and for concept 2 from 6A to the beach is about half a mile. Selectperson
Chaffee support the project and believes this will offer our community a number of significant benefits.
Adding that this project was a result of Brewster residents indicating through key Town plans that they
anted better access to Wing Island. Selectperson Chaffee would like to see the scope
wdownsized as much
as possible, while still providing safe access and complying with Federal ADA law. TherTown has a long
tradition of commitment to environmental protection and Horsley Witten has been our partner in water

right of way. Mr. Lombardi added the reason it is called Wing Island Road was that the plan after the Town
acquired the property was to build a road 6ft above the marsh out to Wing Island. Selectperson Hoffmann

requested more information on both the ecological impact study and the carrying capacity studyO Mr. Claytor
shared that the analy'sis done to date is based on the change in demand to the parking at Drummer Boy Park
and how many trips total and how many during the peak summer months. This is compared to the capacity
of the trail system to accommodate the amount of people. The initial conclusion is that there would be
L
ncreased trips and the trail system can accommodate them. Adding that what has not been done is to really
dig into the ecological impacts to have to have better understanding of what is out there, rare or endangered
species and erosion o any kind. The next phase is to take not ust the increased demand and access but to
ook at how it translates to the ecological impacts, to do this, Horsley Witten needs to know more about

Ike to see the height,and width reduced to the minimum that would be responsible and allowed under State

permi ing.
Mr. Lombardi recapp d that the currently proposed height on the Wing Island side is 7ft above the marsh,
but at Cedar Ridge the height was higher to meet the existing grade and to take into account the grass
species for permitting, the height is 10ft above the marsh. Mr. Claytor commented that possibly at Cedar
Ridge It could start ati9ft without impacting the bank. Adding that the minimum height of 5ft would be a
good planning number, but anything lower would cause trouble. Amy Ball from Horsley Witten added that,
w ith respect to the height at that particular location, it would be a matter of trying to do the best we can to
minimize any impact,,!while looking to allow light to get beneath the boardwalk. There was additional
discussion about the torm surge levels, The helical piles that are proposed have a 50�year design life;
material selections come into play when reviewing budget.
Vice Chair Chatelain confirmed a minimum of 5ft over the marsh and starting at approximately 9ft at Cedar
Ridge. Width confirm d at 6ft with some turnouts. As small of a footprint as we can make it without

Hazardous Waste CommitteeCable
Adyisory Committee, and Library Bui
Committee
Mr. Lombardi reviewed that during the re -appointment process in June, it was identified that a handful of
committees have been inactive for a number of years. The committees up for review'are ad hoc/advisory
committees put together by the Select Board, who have jurisdiction over them. Assuming the Charter is
approved at the State, level, the Town would bring at least two articles to Town Meetipg next Spring to
address other committees that are memorialized by Town bylaws.
Selectperson Hoffmann mentioned the letter in the FYI packet from the Town of Amherst regarding the
Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners grant program award. Mr. Lombardi noted that there is a
group that is trying to advocate for State funding to fill the gaps that have been identified in the library
projects. There is the possibility that somehow the State could come through to help these projects move
forward. Mr. Lombardi shared that the Town has not formally submitted a letter to the State letting them
know we are not taking the grant. There is a scenario where the Town could maintain; their grant funding
and revisit the scope of the project. r
Selectperson Hoffmann moved to disband the Hazardous Waste Committee and the Cable Advisory
Committee and hold off on the Library Building Committee, Selectperson Bingham second. A roll call vote
was taken. Selectperson Hoffmann -yes, Selectperson Chaffee -yes, Selectperson Bingham -yes, Vice Chair

Mr. Lombardi stated that this topic was identified as a goal in the Select Board Strategic Plan and that
protecting our water quality and resources is a top priority of our residents. The Town has been working
with Horsley Witten to continue to advance our water quality initiatives across the Town. These issues,
initiatives and projects are all very complex on multiple levels that have significant impact on the Town and
'
our residents. The goal is to formally convene a task force that will be structured as a,working group under
the Town Administrator. The group will be comprised of:
• Natural Resources Director ,

CPC.
For Your Information
Mr. Lombardi referenced the draft correspondence that the Town will be sending out'to Millstone Road
residents soon regarding moving forward with the Millstone Road improvement project. The Town is seeking
