The Committee discussed coordination of the project with the City of Newport. REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE UPDATE CHPO Vogel presented on oral report on the status of various projects reviewed by the Historic Preservation Division. There was consensus that permit review should be handled administratively, by the CHPO in consultation with the ACHP chairperson, in all cases where proposed work will not have a significant effect on historic properties. The ACHP will meet to review permit applications only in cases where proposed work may result in alteration or loss of an important cultural resource; permits for minor work will be reviewed by staff.
