20-22 Anthony Street demolition and rebuild
Summary
A derelict 1860s Victorian on one of Newport's smallest lots is coming down and being rebuilt as a single-family home that mimics the original — with two off-street parking spots hidden underneath. Neighbors who first objected agreed to an eight-foot trim in the rear massing, and the board signed off unanimously with roof-pitch and stormwater conditions.

Impact analysis
The owners get two off-street parking spaces on a street with essentially none — a big quality-of-life win on that block.
The new owners get a livable year-round home with parking, and the neighbor next door gets relief from street parking shortages.
The applicants gave up a bedroom and a rear deck to win over their neighbors — nobody walked away empty-handed.
