A lawsuit filed by the owner of the former Lampost building in downtown Oak Bluffs to repeal a restriction on short-term rentals at his property is headed to trial. The bench trial between owner Adam Cummings and the Martha’s Vineyard Commission is scheduled to be held in Dukes County Superior Court before Judge Maureen Hogan on Oct. 14. In an attempt to remain in compliance, Cummings requested he be allowed to decrease the number of units he was required to have for workforce housing, which the commission blocked. The commission approved a proposal to convert three of the five floors in the building to workforce housing in 2018. While a trial awaits, the two parties did come to an agreement in July this year that hastens court procedures.
