The owner of an Aquinnah property has been issued cease and desist orders by two town officials who claim he has done widespread construction in violation of state and local wetland regulations.

Jeff Elghanayan, owner of 5 Mariners View Lane, was sent a cease and desist order on June 3 signed by Aquinnah conservation agent and conservation commission chairwoman Sarah Thulin. According to the order, Mr. Eghanayan constructed multiple buildings, performed driveway hardscaping work and completed extensive landscaping work including the installation of a pond.

“There has been no ‘order of conditions’ issued by the Aquinnah conservation commission for the above work at 5 Mariners View Lane,” reads the order. “This is an order to cease and desist all work.”

A separate cease and desist order from the town building inspector and correspondence between town counsel Michael Goldsmith and Mr. Elghanayan’s Edgartown-based lawyer Martin V. Tomassian were provided to the Gazette by town administrative assistant Sophia Welch.

The unsigned and undated order written by building inspector Lenny Jason alleges Mr. Elghanayan made no contact with the conservation commission or planning board regarding the work. Ms. Welch confirmed the order was written by Mr. Jason.

“When you and I last spoke, I told you to go to the conservation commission and planning board,” Mr. Jason wrote. “Neither board has been in contact with you or a representative to resolve these issues.”

Mr. Jason continued, stressing that fines are on the table for the unpermitted work.

“Be aware you are subject to a zoning bylaw fine of $50 per day per violation,” he wrote. “You have a right to an appeal.”

Mr. Elghanayan obtained the 3.8 acre property in 1988, according to Aquinnah assessor’s data. His primary address is listed in Laguna Beach, Calif.

Mr. Elghanayan must appear at a public hearing before any further work is performed at the property, according to the conservation agent’s cease and desist order.

A letter dated June 7 from Mr. Goldsmith to Mr. Tomassian states Mr. Elghanayan had 30 days from the date of the letter to appeal the building inspector cease and desist order with the zoning board of appeals. Appeals for the conservation agent order must be filed with the state superior court.

A hearing date at the Aquinnah conservation commission has not yet been publicly posted.
