The Edgartown planning board is scheduled to discuss this week a long-delayed building project at Wave Lengths salon on Upper Main street.

On July 29 the town ordered all work stopped on the modular construction project at 223 Upper Main street, which began last spring.

At a continued public hearing Tuesday night, the planning board will address whether the applicants have violated conditions of a special permit, and what course of action the town will take.

The board issued a special permit for the building in 2011 after a lengthy public hearing and approval process before the town and the Martha’s Vineyard Commission. The mixed-use building replaces a smaller building that once housed the salon; the new building plans to include commercial space on the first floor, as well as office and living space on the upper two floors.

The planning board granted extensions to the special permit four times as applicant Jayne Leaf, owner of Wave Lengths, lined up financing and resolved ownership issues. Planning board minutes show the project has been the subject of 21 separate sessions of a public hearings or extensive deliberation by the board.

Modular construction of the three-story began last spring. At a meeting in June, with the exterior of the building substantially complete, planning board members began to question the applicant about modifications to the original plans, including an increase in overall height, an increase in the size of the dormers, a change in window design, the addition of balconies and landscaping issues.

Board members were concerned that various plans for construction over years of delays were not reviewed by the planning board or the MVC.

At a meeting in July this year planning board member Robert Sparks asked the applicant to move the second and third floor decks to the rear of the building. Phil Miller, representing the applicants, resisted, according to meeting minutes.

Ten days later the town building inspector issued a cease and desist order stopping all exterior and interior construction.
