After more than three years of permitting and construction, Reid (Sam) Dunn's mixed-use Stone Bank condominium project is a largely tenanted new mini-neighborhood in downtown Vineyard Haven.

As restaurateur Patrick Lyons prepares to open his new taqueria at the Stone Bank complex this spring, developer Sam Dunn is planning another eatery in the former bank's historic lobby.

The Martha’s Vineyard Commission this week agreed to allow three previously-denied fireplaces at a mixed-use condominium complex in downtown Vineyard Haven, in exchange for the developer’s pledge to allow no further propane appliances anywhere on the property.

Developer Reid (Sam) Dunn added fireplaces to three condominium units at his Stone Bank mixed-use property in Vineyard Haven without approval by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, which voted Thursday to deny his after-the-fact request to keep the amenities in place.

Developer Reid “Sam” Dunn is still on the hook for some of the changes at his Stone Bank mixed-use condominium complex in Vineyard Haven that were not approved in advance by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission.

The developer of the old stone bank property in Vineyard Haven secured approvals this week for several changes he made without prior permission from the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, but not before receiving a dressing down from the regional board.

Several members of the commission chastised Reid “Sam” Dunn at their meeting Thursday for making alterations to the development at the former downtown bank site. The development is planned to include condominiums, commercial units and a restaurant.

The Vineyard Haven project will need to go to the Martha's Vineyard Commission for a fifth modification after the developer built a fence and wall that weren't previously approved by the commission.

A planned Mexican restaurant on Union street in Vineyard Haven took a giant step toward opening this summer when the Tisbury planning board voted 4-1 Wednesday to allow a special permit for the operation.

Longtime summer resident and restaurateur Patrick Lyons appeared before the Tisbury planning board this week to present his proposal for a Mexican restaurant at the Stone Bank property in Vineyard Haven.

A planned Mexican restaurant at the former Stone Bank property in Vineyard Haven has won approval from the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, and now heads to the Tisbury planning board for a 6 p.m. public hearing Wednesday.
