The Martha’s Vineyard Commission last Thursday unanimously approved a temporary agreement allowing the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital to use 50 parking spots at the Portuguese American Club on Vineyard avenue for overflow parking, while hospital officials continue to work on a permanent parking solution.

The commission voted 9-0, with Leonard Jason Jr. abstaining, to allow the hospital to use the P.A. club for parking, clearing the way for Oak Bluffs building inspector Jerry Wiener to issue a certificate of occupancy. A grand opening was held in April, but the hospital has not yet moved in to the new $48 million, 90,000-square-foot facility on Eastville avenue.

The original plan called for the hospital to provide 256 parking spaces on its campus and another 82 spaces across the street at a property owned by the state Department of Mental Health.

The hospital has been working on a complicated land swap that would allow it to take control of the state land for its parking lot. But the deal remains incomplete and the hospital needed a temporary plan in order to obtain a final sign-off from the commission. The P.A. club arrangement is temporary.

There was no public comment, or deliberation among commissioners.
