City of Edina
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows:
Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Mr. Andy Porter is requesting a Certificate of Appropriateness to tear down and rebuild a new
home and attached garage at 4602 Bruce Avenue.
1.02 On April 14, 2009, the Heritage Preservation Board approved a Certificate of Appropriateness
for a new home and attached garage.
1.03 On April 22, 2009, Kitty O'Dea appealed the decision of the Board to the City Council.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is based on the following findings:
1. The proposed new home meets the design review standards and guidelines for construction
of new homes in the Country Club District.
• 2. The proposed home is within 10% of the average height of the homes to the north and south
as required in the District's Plan of Treatment. Without the District's 10% guideline, the
proposed home could be built 6-8 feet higher to the ridge-line of the home.
3. The changes from the original proposal, including lowering the roof over the garage and the
gable-end reshaped as a hip roof have reduced the mass of the new home.
4. The proposed home is compatible with the neighboring historic homes, unlike the existing
home, which is not a historic resource, and is incompatible with the historic character of the
district.
6. The street facing fagade of the home will be geometrically similar to nearby historic homes
and the volume or mass will not adversely affect the historic integrity of nearby homes or
detract from the historic character of the streetscape.
7. Construction of an attached garage is in character and appropriate in the Country Club
District.
Section 3. APPROVAL
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby resolved by the City Council of the City of Edina, to
uphold the decision of the Heritage Preservation Board to approve the Certificate of
Appropriateness to tear down and build a new home and attached garage at 4602 Bruce
Avenue, legally described as Lot 2, Block 9 Country Club District Fairway Section, subject to
• the following conditions:
1. The plans presented; with no future expansion of the floor area allowed,
