All voted aye. The motion carried. V. Community Comment - None VI. Reports/Recommendations A. Certificate of Appropriateness: Process for Evaluating Projects Planner Repya explained that last November the plans for an addition to a home in the Country Club District were reviewed by staff, and it was determined that a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) was not required because the project did not meet the threshold established in the district's plan of treatment. Construction of the addition commenced in February precipitating a call from a neighbor wondering why he didn't know about the project since he believed a COA should have been pursued.The neighbor discussed with staff and Chair Birdman his concerns that he believed the plan of treatment was not being interpreted correctly. Chair Birdman agreed to add the topic of how staff evaluates the need for a COA to the meeting agenda. 1 Draft Minutes© Approved Minutes❑ Approved Date:Click here to enter a date. Ms. Repya pointed out that the subject project included shed dormer additions to the north and south sides of the home.The aggregate size of the additions was 43.5% of the roof area of the home. The plan of treatment requires a COA for projects where "50% or more of the principal roof structure is removed, changing its shape, pitch, or height." Dan Dulas,4609 Bruce Avenue addressed the board presenting his interpretation of the plan of treatment. Some points he made included: ® He disagreed with staff's determination of the overall roof area of the home, believing that the porch and attached garage should not be included, and ® The shed dormer addition on the north side replaced a small window dormer which should have required a COA. Board members discussed the COA requirements in the plan of treatment, pointing out that it is important that the provisions are clearly understood. Planner Repya agreed to provide the board with an explanation of how staff interprets the COA requirements, and have it available for the April meeting. She also suggested that if the board wishes to provide for more clarity in the plan of treatment, they could include that as a proposed initiative in their 2017 Work Plan. B. National Historic Preservation Act - 50th Anniversary Heritage Preservation Consultant Robert Vogel explained that 2016 marks the 50th Anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Pointing out that in 1966, the Act not only identified historic preservation as significant to the Nation's heritage, but also provided for communities such as Edina to establish heritage preservation commissions. Mr. Vogel delved into the history of the act, as well as the national, state and local impact it has had on the country. He concluded that recognizing the 50th anniversary could be a good theme for Preservation Month this May. C. 2016 Work Plan Calendar Planner Repya provided the board with a Work Plan calendar to assist with keeping track of the 2016 accomplishments, as well as planning for the 2017 Work Plan. Board members agreed the calendar will be a handy tool. D. 2016 Heritage Award Nominations Planner Repya reminded the board that the call to receive nominations for the 2016 Heritage Award has been announced, and nominations will be received until Friday, April 8th. At the April HPB meeting, the board will review the nominations received and decide upon a recipient. She concluded that board members are encouraged to spread the word about the award program, and consider submitting their own nomination. 2 Draft Minutes® Approved Minutes❑ Approved Date:Click here to enter a date.

See the explanation below: Country Club District Plan of Treatment: Definitions: Demolition - For purposes of design review and compliance with City Code §36-722, demolition shall mean the physical alteration of a building that requires a city permit and where: (a) 50% or more of the surface area of all exterior walls, in the aggregate, are removed; or (b) 50% or more of the principal roof structure is removed, changing its shape, pitch, or height; or (c) A front porch, side porch,vestibule, dormer, chimney, attached garage, or porte-cochere is removed or destroyed. This definition does not include removal of existing siding, roofing, trim, fascia, soffit, eave, moldings, windows, and doors. Staff Explanation: (a) 50% or more of the surface area of all exterior walls, in the aggregate, are removed; or The exterior walls considered in addition to the front/side and rear walls, include those features cited in (c) below, to include front porch, side porch, vestibule, or attached garage. City of Edina • 4801 W.50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 I CITY OF EDINA MEMO Page 2 •``r'�IXi�N PSV• (b) 50% or more of the principal roof structure is removed, changing its shape, pitch, or height; or Principal roof structure includes attached garages, porte-cocheres, and porches identified in part (c).When evaluating the existing footprint of the "principal roof structure" information available from the survey including the footprint of the home to include attached garages is used. (c) A front porch, side porch,vestibule, dormer, chimney, attached garage, or porte- cochere is removed or destroyed. This point addresses the removal or destruction, not the addition or moving of the listed features. Typically, removal or destruction of these features on an interior side yard or rear yard have not been subject to a COA review. The focus has been on the front and side street facing facades where COA's have been required for the addition of these features. • City of Edina • 4801 W.50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 w9 = j.1 CITY OF EDINA (âf'Q ' l. 4801 West 50th Street cn Hyo ,� �y Edina, MN 55424 ``,,,.„,,,,`v' www.edinamn.gov SONO Date: April 12,2016 Agenda Item#:VI.B.

Owner's Address: 4801 W. 50th St. 5. Owner's Phone #: email 6. Reason for Nomination*: For fifty years now,Braemar Arena has been a very important civic entity. Used by figure skaters and Edina Hockey players (boys and girls), Braemar stands as a source of pride in our community. At a cost of$525,000 and seating 3000 spectators, the facility was originally criticized for being too far"out in the country". It didn't take long for the arena pavilion to become a fixture of the community. Braemar opened its second ice sheet(the Pavilion) in 1970. 1997 saw the addition of the third ice sheet(South Rink). Following the 2011-2012 season,the 1966 rink(now known as West Rink)received a$3.6 million renovation, known as"The Hornets' Nest",with over 25%of its funding coming through private donations. In 2014,Braemar opened its fourth ice sheet"The Backyard", an outdoor ice rink. Braemar stands as a testament to the foresight of our City leaders back in the day--it continues to be a popular city destination used by many families in our community.

Of all municipal corporations in the Minneapolis suburbs, th • ;gc.‘. of Edina has taken the lead. For years Edina Village has .wided its residents with the finest kind of recreation facilities. Te,,,;; week, Edina's new half-million dollar Braemar Ice r\vena opened to the public. It's an elaborate lay- out with provision for spectator sports (Lake Conference hockey), for casual recreation for the experienced skater and top-flight instruc- tion for the novice. The Ice Arena is a part of the overall Braemar Golf Course and Recreation Area. Village Manager Warren Hyde and village utficials who have supported this program have argued .from the beginning this kind of program can be justified from a bard fiscal point of vier,. They insist such facilities sustain and enhance property values. Edina remains one of the choice spots in Minnesota to live.
