Votes at a glance: May 19 Newport Zoning Board — extensions, consent calendar, summary approvals
Summary
The Zoning Board approved a 23‑month extension for 206 Thame Street and adopted the summary calendar (three petitions) on consent. Several abbreviated/summary petitions were granted unanimously.
At its May 19 meeting the Newport Zoning Board handled several routine items on the summary and consent calendars and voted unanimously on an extension request.
Extension: The board granted BMT LLC/Leasing and CAM LLC a 23‑month extension for property at 206 Thame (Dame) Street; the motion described the extension period as from June 7, 2025 to May 7, 2027. The motion passed unanimously.
Summary calendar (consent): The board placed three summary calendar matters on the consent calendar and granted them without discussion. The items were: - 33 Poplar Street (Charles Patavina): dimensional variance to locate a condenser 2 ft 4 in from the east side property line where 3 ft is required. - 201 Goddard Row (Rayad Yazbek): special‑use permit to convert an existing retail store into a fast‑food/quick‑service establishment selling smoothies and fruit bowls. - 12 Elliot Place (Rise and Jennifer Wahlbergen): special‑use permit and dimensional variance for a 25‑sq‑ft rear one‑story addition increasing lot coverage from 36.3% to 37% where 33.2% is allowed.
Abbreviated summary: In addition to the Jessica Phillips item covered separately, the board granted a variance for Dodge Residents, LLC (7 & 9 Dearborn Street) to allow above‑ground service rather than undergrounding; that item was adopted with the staff report and conditions and the vote was unanimous.
All consent and summary decisions were recorded as unanimous votes on the meeting record.
