Commission approves skylights and egress window at 78 K St.
Summary
The commission approved installation of two skylights and enlargement of a dormer window to provide egress for a third-floor bedroom at 78 K Street, contingent on submitting final grill pattern details to the planner for review.
George Shea (speaker 10) described plans to install two skylights on a rear slope and to enlarge a dormer window to provide egress for a bedroom at 78 K Street (Plat 19, Lot 138). He explained the changes were intended to increase attic light and meet fire egress requirements.
Commissioners asked about the window grill pattern and whether the new casement window would match the dormer window's dimensions. The applicant agreed to submit final grill details to the preservation planner for approval. The commission moved and approved the application citing Newport standards.
The approval includes a condition that final grill/finish details for the new window be submitted to staff for verification.
