Commission approves lowered-ridge accessory structure at 59 Bridge St with materials condition
Summary
The commission approved a revised accessory structure at 59 Bridge Street after the applicant reduced ridge height and window size; approval requires a final materials list be submitted to the planner for administrative sign-off.
Turner Scott presented revisions to the accessory structure proposed for 59 Bridge Street, noting the applicant lowered the ridge height and reduced the prominence of windows so the building reads as an accessory structure rather than new construction. The commission asked for a final materials list (roofing, siding, windows, doors) to be submitted to the planner for administrative approval.
A motion to accept the revised drawings and to accept the plans as Exhibit A passed by voice vote. Commissioners noted citations to Newport standards for new construction and asked that materials be confirmed in writing to the planner before permits are issued.
