At long last, the Pocasset Mobile Home Park has been licensed by the Bourne Board of Health for 2018.
The approval comes with eight conditions attached to the document, which is set to be issued by Health Agent Terri Guarino on March 1 after final proofreading.
The matter of possibly abating fines for operating the trailer-park complex without a license will be discussed by the board next week.
At this point, board of health members hope that a vexing public health issue is finally winding down. But they have placed conditions in the 2018 license to assure continued communication with park manager Phil Austin and avoid any potential operational workarounds.
The latest park licensing effort on March 1 was long and complicated. There were sharp edges. Board members and Austin, as well as his attorney, continually talked over each other. The board pressed for conditions it wants in the operating license, while a visibly-perturbed Austin pushed back against elements he did not like.
So the resulting document encompasses coordination and cooperation laced with optimism. Preeminent board concerns remain the condition and viability of the park’s water system as well as a need to insulate water-delivery connections at individual units, a requirement that falls to the Charles W. Austin Trust, the complex owner, to address.
Another condition of the license is that new trailer units or any occupancy of abandoned units is allowed without express notification to the health department. Austin claims, however, that some units are owned by a former park manager, and that litigation is involved in resolving associated issues.
Board of Health chairman Kathy Peterson said the board has wrestled with park conditions and licensure issues for the past 16 years with little progress.
That, however, may be changing. The 2018 license, shaped in part by Town Counsel Robert S. Troy, is straightforward in that it does not force park manager Phil Austin to change the structure of the aging complex with new provisions, which he shuns.
Board member Stanley Andrews said poor water pressure in the park, however, remains a concern. He said this makes the water-delivery system “suspect.”
The new license requires Austin to retain a professional engineer to evaluate the water delivery system and file a report by September. Another provision of the license requires Austin to provide the health department with reports on material repairs to park utilities and infrastructure.
Austin, meanwhile, is in an organizing mode. He vows to systematically fix park problems but does not want to be forced into a situation where he would have to build sidewalks or install streetlights. He plans a rent hike.
“The place is a mess,” Austin told the board of health. “And to clean it up, I’m going to anger probably up to 80 percent of the tenants.”
Austin said he intends to upgrade park conditions from front to back, starting near Barlows Landing Road to create a more favorable first impression.
Hyannis attorney Charles Sabbat, the park receiver, ended his receivership duties February 9 at the order of Suffolk Superior Court. He returns to the board of health March 14 to discuss a possible abatement of the fines that have built up while the park did not hold an operating license.
The board credits Sabbat with upgrading environmental conditions as well as public health in the complex, notably by overseeing construction of a waste-treatment plant, eliminating failed leaching fields, and ending raw sewage in the streets.
“I hope to end this on a high note,” Sabbat told the health members, referring to the end of his court-ordered receivership and the shift of duties to the Austin trust.
But Austin said Sabbat is not entirely out of the picture, and that there are legal issues that still need to be resolved over some units.
Austin said “that in all reality” he hopes to sell the complex. The mobile home park is the only such facility in town.
