The town conservation commission unanimously voted Wednesday to allow 275 vehicles across the Leland, Wasque and Cape Pogue properties run by the Trustees of Reservations.

Edgartown had strong words and instituted a daily fine against a Katama Bay homeowner who illegally had nearly 20 trees cut down on his property.

The nonprofit, which oversees miles of oversand vehicle trails on Chappaquiddick, is proposing to retire about 1,300 feet of trail along the bayside of Cape Pogue because it now regularly becomes inundated by Cape Pogue Bay. 

A legal tug-of-war over Edgartown’s new rules for the Chappaquiddick oversand vehicle trails has broken out, with the nonprofit that manages the coastline and a citizen’s group both filing appeals with the state this week. 

The Edgartown conservation commission Wednesday voted to allow no more than 200 vehicles at a time on the Trustees’ Leland and Wasque parcels, and no more than 30 on the Cape Pogue trails.

This week, The Trustees of Reservations, the nonprofit that manages the 16 miles of Chappy trails, publicly objected to proposed regulations from the Edgartown conservation commission, saying the rules are not aligned with state environment law and instead were formed with local politics in mind.
