Ms. Gunter explained that potentially the work did not require a permit or possibly the property owner / contractor had not obtained a permit as that address did not ring a bell. Ms. Renwick said she would contact the owners. Ms. Gunter shared a letter from Bill Emerson, Building Designer regarding his participation in the plan drawings for the restoration of Perozzi fountain in Lithia Park. He wanted the Historic Commission to know about his participation. The letter was to the editor of the Mail Tribune. ADJOURNMENT It was the unanimous decision of the Commission to adjourn the meeting at 6:41 p.m. Ashland Historic Commission Minutes 2 4/12/2022
