Summary

The Newport Historic District Commission approved summary permits for an outdoor kitchen at 673 Bellevue Ave and a basement entry at 21 Catherine St, accepting staff findings and citing Newport standards. No public comment was recorded.

The Newport Historic District Commission accepted staff findings and approved two summary applications at its July 8 meeting. Chair (the presiding commissioner) asked whether anyone wished to be heard and, seeing none, the commissioners voted to approve an outdoor kitchen at 673 Bellevue Avenue and replacement of a metal bulkhead with a doghouse-style basement entry at 21 Catherine Street.

The chair said the approvals were consistent with Newport Standard 17.80.060 and noted both properties are within the historic district and have staff reports on file. The motions passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The approvals were processed as summary approvals because staff found the applications complete and without substantive issues.
