Art Center Report III. Recreation Report IV. Braemar Golf Course - Par 3, Expansion V. Heritage Preservation Board Presentation VI. Planning Request: S-77-7 and Z-77-10 VII. Donation of Property: McCauley Heights Fourth Addition MEMO TO: Mr. Warren C. Hyde, City Manager FROM: Mr. Ken Rosland, Director - Park and Recreation DATE: May 13, 1977 SUBJECT: PARK EASEMENT Attached to this memorandum, is a copy of a letter from Mr. Thomas H. Supplee, along with a Certificate of Survey of Mr. Supplee's new residence located at 4416 Vandervork Avenue. Mr. Supplee is requesting an eight (8) foot easement on Park property, as shown on the Certificate of Survey. The park surrounding Mr. Supplee to the side of his lot and the rear of his lot is wild unkempt park land which will suffer no environmental damage as a result of granting this easement. At the May 10th Park Board meeting, the Park Board voted to approve the granting of the easement for a $500.00 fee. I have talked to Mr. Supplee and passed along to him the Park Board's recommendation. Mr. Supplee plans to attend the Edina City Council meeting on May 16th and plans to present his case at that time. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Dunn have been informed of the situation and I believe they can answer any questions in my behalf, since I will be out of town. K. R. is plb 4905 East Sunnyslope Road .Edina, Minnesota 55424 Flay 7, 1977 Mr. Ken Rosland Director, Parks & Recreation Edina Park and Recreation Department 4801 W. Fiftieth Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 Dear lair. Rosland: At the suggestion of Mr. Gordon Hughes, this request is submitted to your attention in the hope that it may be favorably considered by the Park Board of Edina at your meeting, May 10, 1977. Specifically, my wife and I seek permission to extend a residential driveway at 4416 Vandervork Avenue to a maximum point of eight (8) feet beyond our lot line to the north. The enclosed survey diagram outlines our problem and seemingly the most practical solution based on consultation with Ivr. Hughes and Mr. Don Loftus. We have been residents of Edina for 15 years and purchased this almost completed construction on Vandervork Ave. having sold our home on E. Sunnyslope Rd.. Unfortunately, this preceded the discovery that the lot plan for the driveway would not realistically accomodate use of the two car garage already built. Mr. Loftus estimated a need up to ten (10) feet of access to provide a "turn -around" solution. Careful measuring with the contractor has developed this request for a maximum of eight (8) feet at the furthest point. Having lived adjacent to Minnehaha Creek for the past 12 years, my wife and I share both a caring and respect for the natural state of the park land next to our new homestead. We do hope the board will grant permission to act on this request and, in turn, we genuinely commit as neighbors to do our part toward the preservation of this valued resource of Edina residents.

Purpose 1. To relocate and define the original foundation. 2. To determine how mill was originally oriented and constructed. 3. To excavate materials which might assist in the future restoration of the mill. (timbers, windows, doors, siding, mouldings, nailsp hinges, paint chips, etc.} 4. To excavate artifacts which associate mill with the period when it was in operation. 5. To prepare a written and photographic report.of the excavation. 6. To develop a tentative plan for the restoration of the mill. II. Preparation before Excavation l.. Take photographs of site. 2. Take a contour map of the site. 3. Research: Locate information about the mill) people associated with it, old photographs, a. and any historical references. Sources of this information would include: Church) (1) People and oro nizatiohs in the a°res (,St. Stephens (2) Edina Historical Society (3) Hennepin County Historical Society (4) 1.1innesota Historical Society (5) County records (6) Tagnship and County Maps (7) :abstracts of Title (8) `Alls (9) (10) Inventories T?ewspapers (articles and advertisements) watermill construction and operation during this b. Locate information about period. Sources of information might include: (.1) Hennepin County Library (2) University of Mlinnesota Library (3) (4) 1`aterials from the Grain Exchange Professional libraries of milling companies (General T4ills, Pilsbury, etc 4. Dig Test Trench a. To locate segment of foundation. b. To establish a soil profile. 5. Probe with steel rod to determine the outline of foundation. a. Record this on site map• ugs b. Determine which trees, shr; and fences must be removed before excavation. 2. III. Archaeological field Work 1. Surround site area with a snow fence. 2. Grid or divide site into 5 by 5 foot squares extending five feet beyond foundation walls. This is important for recording the exact location of artifacts and materials uncovered. 3. Excavation would be by squares with initial removal of soil by six inch levels. Limited time, the size of the area, and the pro'olems of backfill would require extensive use of the spade and wheelbarrm,;. 4. After foundation is uncovered, digging attempts to expose materials and what they may be associated with as completely as possible. 5. Soil screened with 2 -- and sometimes 3/16 inch screens for small artifacts. Sterile soil (covering fill) would not be screened. 6. During excavation the interior and the exterior of the foundation would be levels on either side are given different considered separate areas. The na:bers until levels cross again (at a door, window, bedrock, etc.) 7. Artifacts are recorded in terms of grid number, depth, and position within a grid. Accurate measurements are taken and each artifacts is given an identification number. 8. A photographic record is kept of all stages of the excavation. IV. What can we expect to find? 1. Changes in construction, remodeling, and other clues that show differences from the original mill. Watch for reuse of materials and changes at joints, corners, ends, etc. 2. Clearing of the interior of the foundation serves as a dating check because everything uncovered must MIdate the mill. 3, ';atch for foundation doors, windows, chutes, etc. to help determine floor plan. 4. Artifacts that we can expect to find: a. To615 and materials related to milling. b. Items that can be associated to period when dill was in operation. Pill was in business for over fifty years and was considered a social center. The area near the entrance should be a good source of artifacts. This area would be excavated with a trowel rather than a spade. C. Construction materials that would include timbers, nails, spikes, tools, hinges, locks, glass, parts of doors, windows, frames, and mouldings. This information is important if a restoration is to be attempted• include buttons, buckles, clay pipes, ceramics, d. Personal artifacts would bottles, tobacco tins, etc. 5. The grid syster; of excavation enables everything found to be classified in terms of location and depth. , 40 V. After Excavation 1. Organize and evaluate artifacts, materials, records, and photographs. 2. Prepare a Final Report which might include: a. Introduction - indicate the purpose of excavation and ac mawledge all help. b. historical Perspective. c. Discuss operation of a water :rill as a device for. grinding grain and as a business. d. Describe the site and the preparation required before excavation. e. Describe the excavation - the approach used, proSems, etc. f. Summarize what was found, discuss its significance, the suggest what must yet be done. g. Suggest approaches for restoration of mill (from materials excavated and research). h. Appendix (1) Photographs - covering all stages of excavation and important artifacts. (2) Contour map of site before and after excavation. Perhaps a part of an old county map might be interesting. (3) Scale drawings of the area excavated (top and side views) (4) Dist artifacts by number and type. (5) Information about mill. construction. (6) A scale drawing of what mill was supposed to look like. Perhaps a model could be built from these plans. (7) additional information about the early miners and operators of the mill. i. Bibliography - a listin of all the books and resources used in preparation for the excavation and the writing of the Final Report. m N rti m S4 O f 4 u) m U) N ul o 1-1 rl 4-) $-4 • m 4-3 4- r +a3 % r9ss I}Xy ccl ul $1 cu 4-3 cd 1. al O �N a) r 'd u] U f i Ic: 'CJ 2i n 43OLO-X O U O r i ?, HCf (Dril `� m) r-1 C5 ? u I C\lto 1 O r.. xall) --z; U) CO +--1 +3 ' ri CV (rl 1 i 10 N rti m S4 O f 4 u) 4-31 w U 0 ul L7 '41) 1-1 U • > 4-3 r -i m G: it % O cu 4-3 cd 1. al O o 4-3ID O � 43OLO-X O l (Dril cYl r-1 O C\lto -ri O -. r -i am • s ri cn r O 3 :3: D .O m m k oo m ri • +' it E+ • � a) 0 Q) ai U .a UOi t1D H P. .ri C) .a ;4 a) 'Do � ) o 8 co •d ra .� Zo ri 9 a) r -i u) 't7 -Ci r -I +) co " cis Hii � o O N 'd P, r � r -A +) $A 4-4 4-4 CJ cd LJ 3 cl to O O U O 05 0 .o 'UO x ul .� Ll. +) tx u� V a) %+ r1 r-1 c l N al \ f], O ul V 4-4 O () a) � rb a -N ul ul 40 p. •O ul u] Q ic p$ 1U CO moi, r-i U R � N O f: r -i m (a E� r I 3 4 U ba) U� O' 0 r -i ;>b , S c .54 a) O :-� al 10 C to 4f d ro 4-3 +) ci +3 Ur -i3 b (a a) 'd r-1 t:D ,^ a) apt a) 1 'a i .�1:1 U 3?

Sane : titer our conversation on Friday, :earth 11th2 I started thinkinb about the Bina fill and how it might be excavated and eventually restored. Probably the best expm Ales o£ historic restoration in the United States is Colonial williamsburg, Virginia. I am enclosing a brief summary of some of the Guiding Principles of Restoration for Williamsburg, Virginia plus a suggestive outline for excavating the Edina Mill with the intent of eventual restoration. I -am finding this a Fascinating topic. I also sent copies to Mr. Dunwiddie. This could provide a basis for discussion when we meet. I discussed the Edina Mill project with my third hour archaeology class. Many students expressed an interest in helping out with the -preparation before excavation. Many of my students live in the Wooddale area and are anxious to find out more about the mill. Very truly yours, Richard R. Busch y GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF RESTORATION FOR WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA 1. The difference between "Preservation" and "Restoration" is noted. 2. Restoration work requires a slower pace than ordinary construction work, and a superior result is preferred to rapid progress. 3. In Restoration the use of old materials and details of the period and character, properly recorded, is preferred when they are available. 4. When new materials must be used, they should be of a character approximating the original as closely as possible. No attempt should be made to antique them by artificial means, 5. Replacements made of known original details (such as windows, doors, mouldings, etc.) should be based on fragments which have been discovered. Steps in Restoration 1. Structure is examined by experts familiar with building construction and design of the period. 2. Site is prepared: a. Site is cleared of grass, shrubbery, and trees. b. Walls in danger of collapse are shored up. - c. Interior debris is removed.and the floor is made "broom clean." 3. Measurements are made of the interior and the exterior of the structure (including floor heights from basement to roof and the relationship of floor heights to the outside grade.) 4. Sketches with measurements are drawn of walls, brickwork, floors, partitions, ornamentation, stairs, mantles, windows and doors along the framing. Old pictures and plans may assist at this stage. 5. 'Structure is examined for evidences of remodeling or changes from original design. 6. -Paint chips are analysed and recorded to determine the original colors. 7. Photographs (possibly motion pictures) are periodically made of restoration to serve as a field record. 8. Archaeological excavations are carried out in search for further evidence of the nature and function of the site. a. Diggers probe buried foundations, older footings, brick or dirt paths, and drainage ditches. Hopefully a trash pit or dump can be located and excavated. b. Soil is sifted for fragments of tile, brick, pottery, metalwork, glass, stone and other artifacts that might shed a possible light on the purpose of the building. 9. When first hand scrutiny of structure is completed, scale drawings of the building are made. 10. Research activites include gathering existing data on the history of the building, its owners and tenents, its use and possibly even its appearance as well as informat- ion about the material from which it was constructed. Sources of this type of infor- mation includes county records, town maps, abstracts of title, wills, inventories, advertisements An Local newspapers, and personal records of area inhabitants. �U (0 mw 7 � s MC CAU TRAIL HEST i CROSSViEW�� • /r ttUTHERAN CHURCH GP a i VO iinDIA Lt • '\ PP y CtRCL,L• Q .ND ►• subdivision zot/-% V-%9 .1 1h I REQUEST NUMBER: S-77-7 and Z-77-10 LOCATION: w. of McCauley.Trail & S. of McCauley Lane.

R-1 Z-77-10 Single Family Residential District to R-2 Multiple Family Residential District. Refer to: Parkland Dedication Report and survey. The proponents are requesting'a five lot subdivision and rezoning for four lots which front on McCauley Trail. One of those lots, however, realistically has access only from McCauley Terrace due to the topography. In discussing this matter with the McCauleys, they indicated a willingness to retain that property as a single family lot. Recommendation: The staff would recommend approval of the proposed rezoning, limited to lots 1, 2, and 4 of the proposed addition. The staff would also recommend approval of the requested subdivision, contingent on a parkland dedication per the attached report and a dedication of five feet adjacent to McCauley Trail for sidewalk, bikeway, and.snow storage purposes.

Maier 7213 Gleason Road Edina, Minnesota 55435 April 27, 1977 Mr. Ken Rosland Public Works Dept., City of Edina 4801 t4. 50th Street Edina, Minn. 55435 Dear Mr. Rosland; I have enclosed a letter by all the owners of the properties facing Braemar Park explaining their con- cern over the wild and unsightly growth of weeds and cottonwood trees in the park. The property owners on Gleason Road from Schey to Dewey Hill have unanimously voiced their dislike of the existing sit- uation and wish to have the parkland across the street planted and maintained to blend harmoniously with the properties and homes in the area (i. e. quality trees, shrubs, flowers, lawn). It was our expectation that this land would contain at least in part an extension of the Par 3 course. But as this is being planned, years pass with the scrub trees and weeds sprouting and growing to considerable height from the fill dirt dumped across the road years ago. As a result we have become quite disatisfied and we strongly urge that action be taken this spring. Your reply to this request will be greatly appreciated. Yours truly, William G. Maier WGM/tk e April 21, 1977 Mr. Ken Rosland Public Works Department City of Edina Dear Mr. Rosland: We feel that the cottonwood trees and weeds growing across the road from us in Braemar Park are not asthetically pleasing and do not add anything of value to the neighbor- hood. It is our wish that the City of Edina dlear this area and either keep it cleared and mowed, or keep it partially cleared with the remaining portions in low level plantings.
