OAK BLUFFS — Planning Board approves boat storage special permit on Holmes Hole Road. Chair Mark Crossland led the board to a unanimous 5-0 vote on May 14 to grant Nt Lot 1 LLC a special permit for a 5,750-square-foot boat storage facility for fewer than five boats. Vice Chair Chris Chambers imposed strict operational conditions requiring pristine storage maintenance, proper fuel drip-pan handling, and prohibition of on-site boat work.
The board found that the project's benefits—addressing the island's shortage of off-season boat storage—outweigh minor environmental impacts.
