Oak Bluffs voters on Tuesday finished their annual town meeting after a three-week hiatus, easily agreeing to ban smoking on town beaches, regulate the construction of new windmills, impose restrictions on street performers and establish new rules for development in town flood zones.

Voters also approved $350,000 in Community Preservation Act funding, the bulk of it for two separate affordable housing proposals.

The gathering was largely absent the tension and frustration that marked the first two nights of town meeting last month. A total of 120 voters attended.

Nearly all the 11 remaining articles passed with little discussion. The only article to generate much debate was a request for $44,000 to renovate the picnic pavilion at Niantic Park, a parks department article.

Parks commission chairman Nancy Phillips said the pavilion has fallen into a severe state of disrepair. Because Community Preservation Act money cannot be used to replace historic structures, the only choice was to refurbish it, she said. “Generations have enjoyed that pavilion . . . it’s a place where families spend time. I worry that once you lose this building, you lose it forever,” she said.

But Adam Wilson, the town zoning officer and also the CPA administrator, disagreed.

“In my opinion this is not an appropriate use for CPA money. My fear is the building is in imminent danger of collapsing,” he said.

“That’s just one person’s opinion, Adam,” Ms. Phillips shot back. “And I don’t agree.”

When moderator David Richardson called for a voice vote, he first declared the question defeated. But a number of residents called for a standing vote, and when the count was complete the question had passed 60-49.

Voters also approved $10,201 in CPA funding for the town’s share of the restoration of the Edgartown courthouse and $49,500 for a watershed and drainage survey.

Two separate CPA requests for affordable housing — one to place $100,000 into a newly created municipal affordable housing trust and another to give $132,000 to the county rental assistance program — were also approved, but not before some questioning.

“I am a big supporter of affordable housing, but I wonder if we aren’t placing too much emphasis on one issue at the expense of open space and historical preservation,” said town resident Paul Foley, who works for the Martha’s Vineyard Commission.

“This year we allocated 69 per cent of our [CPA} funding for affordable housing,” he continued. “Obviously affordable housing is an important issue. But when you give the money to affordable housing it goes to only a few people. When you give it to community preservation and open space it goes to everybody.”

Barbara Nolan, who lives in a rental unit subsidized by the county rental assistance program, had a different view.

“I’ve been living on the Island for most of my adult life . . . and at one point I was told to go live in a shelter on the Cape. This rental assistance program saved my life,” she said.

With little ado, voters quickly approved a new bylaw to regulate residential wind turbines. Some voters questioned a zoning bylaw requiring certain property owners located within the federal flood zone to obtain a special permit to make changes or build a new a structure.

Town conservation agent Elizabeth Durkee said the new bylaw was not intended to stop people from building within the flood zone.

“They only thing they can’t do is make it bigger,” she said.

The article passed by a wide margin. Voters also passed a bylaw banning smoking on town beaches and in Healy Square near the post office, although one resident questioned if the town wasn’t reaching. “How are we going to enforce this? I mean I don’t like it either, but you just have to put up with some things in life,” said Manny DeBettencourt.
