HPW Debrief Members discussed potential changes next year suggesting that a better public address system would be welcome, that the event might start at 11:30 a.m., and that the Committee should consider reincorporating a slide show/presentation to draw members of the public. The general feeling was that the outdoor venue worked well, and having the walking tour immediately after was also beneficial. Hovenkamp indicated she would draft letters of appreciation to the Mayor, Peter Finkle and Dale Shostrom for their support of the event. C. HPAC Priorities Discussion Meeting times and discussion o After discussion, it was agreed that the regular meeting should start at 4:00 p.m. and that the Review Board should begin at 3:00 p.m. If there are land use items for review at the regular meeting, they should be scheduled after 5:00 p.m. Members also agreed that if there are no land use items in July, the July 5 th meeting should be canceled given the proximity to the 4 of July holiday. th Preservation Plan working group o HPAC members discussed review of the preservation plan, and of identifying simple, easily implemented projects the commission could carry out such as working with Travel Ashland and Peter Finkle to identify and feature a write- up on a weekly selected historic home on the Travel Ashland webpage as outreach/education. D. Review Board sign ups (7:27) ADJOURNMENT Memo DATE: June 7, 2023 TO: File FROM: Derek Severson, Historic Preservation Advisory Committee (HPAC) Planning Staff Liaison RE: HPAC Review of Proposed Northwest Nature Shop Mural 154 Oak Street (Historic Contributing “George Coffee House”) At the June 2023 regular meeting of the Ashland Historic Preservation Advisory Committee (HPAC), the Committee reviewed a proposal from Marie Caballero Uhtoff of Northwest Nature Shop for a mural to be installed on the new fence at Northwest Nature Shop at 154 Oak Street. The mural would be designed and executed by Vivi Design Company of Bend, Oregon (https://www.vividesignco.com/murals) and would be painted off-site in acrylic housepaint and installed evenly-spaced along the recently constructed fence as three 4-foot by 16-foot ½-inch thick MDO plywood panels. The fence behind would retain its natural finish and be allowed to age. The mural would depict flora, fauna and/or geology of southwestern Oregon; Crate Lake was specifically noted as a potential theme. Vivi has not yet completed a final design; once renderings are complete, they will be presented to the Public Art and Historic Preservation Advisory Committees for final sign-off. After hearing the applicant’s initial proposal and reviewing samples of Vivi Design Company’s work on their website, HPAC members were generally supportive of the proposal in concept (subject to final design approval) and appreciative of the fact that the mural installation was not proposed to be placed directly on the historic building. HPAC found that the installation would add interest to the private alley, and overall would be a benefit to the surrounding area.
