Commission approves new two‑story infill at 208 West 12th
Summary
The commission approved COA 2600555 for a two‑story front-gable home at 208 West 12th, finding the design compatible with nearby properties in height, proportion, massing and setback; commissioners noted materials and roof shape compatibility.
The Newport Historic Preservation Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for new construction at 208 West 12th, concluding the two‑story front‑gabled design is compatible with the block’s prevailing massing and proportion.
Staff described the project as a two‑story house with brick veneer on the front, fiber‑cement fish-scale shingles in the gable, a fiberglass 0.5‑light door and transom, wood porch posts with metal handrail, Hardie siding down the side and vinyl 1‑over‑1 windows. On the issues of height, proportion and rhythm of openings staff found the proposed design consistent with adjacent properties; setback was noted at 12 feet and the proposal aligns with nearby homes. A motion to approve COA 2600555 was moved, seconded and passed in roll call.
Staff will record the commission’s findings and any required conditions in the permit file and follow up with the applicant on administrative next steps.
