Architect Spencer McComb described a post-fire repair and a second-floor addition over a garage at 11 Oakwood Terrace; commissioners approved the proposal with standard citations and discussed windows and decking materials.

Spencer McComb, the architect for 11 Oakwood Terrace, presented plans to repair fire damage to a garage, install a second-floor addition, and add a connector to the existing second floor. He described the house as a 1963 non-contributing property and outlined fenestration and garage-door changes intended to be historically compatible. "This is a 1963 house," McComb said, explaining the project's massing and rationale.

Commissioners asked for clarification about existing deck conditions and the proposed Anderson 400-series windows; McComb confirmed Anderson 400 windows were proposed. After questions and a discussion of visibility from the street, the commission moved and approved the application as presented, citing Newport Standard 17 and related technical codes.
