Item Type: Report and Recommendation Item Activity: Action ACTION REQUESTED: Approve the proposed changes to the front facing facade at 4517 Drexel Avenue. INTRODUCTION: The applicant is requesting a COA for changes to the front façade. The proposed changes include two dormers on the north and south sides of the house that will be visible from the front façade. The home, a Tudor Revival style, was built in 1930. ATTACHMENTS: Staff Report Applicant Submittal STAFF REPORT Date: To: From: May 8, 2018 Heritage Preservation Commission Emily Bodeker, AICP, Assistant City Planner Subject: Certificate of Appropriateness: 4517 Drexel Avenue Information / Background: The subject property, 4517 Drexel Avenue, is located on the west side of Drexel Avenue, north of Bridge Street and south of Sunnyside Road. The proposed Certificate of Appropriateness request include the addition of two dormers on the third floor (attic level) on the north and south elevations of the existing home. The dormers will be visible from the front facade and that is what requires the Certificate of Appropriateness. The home, built in 1930, is a two-story Tudor Revival style residence. Primary Issues: The Plan of Treatment for the Country Club District does not provide specific guidelines for COA review of structural additions to existing homes. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the treatment of historic properties include guidelines for applying the standards to these types of projects. Due to the dormers being visible from the front façade, a COA is required. Dormers are proposed on the north and south elevations of the existing home and will be functional dormers that provide livable space on the third floor. The proposed materials will match the existing exterior of the home. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 STAFF REPORT Page 2 Preservation Consultant Robert Vogel's Comments: By ordinance, COAs are required for new construction in the Country Club neighborhood; and while the district Plan of Treatment does not provide specific guidelines for COA review of structural additions to existing historic homes, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties include guidelines for applying the standards to these types of projects. (It is important to remember that the Secretary of the Interior's standards are the required basis for Edina HPC design review decisions.) In Robert's professional opinion, the addition of two shed roof style dormers would be an appropriate rehabilitation treatment for this historic house. Based on the plans presented with the COA application, the dormers will be functional (i.e., they will be used to provide space, light, and ventilation to the attic level of the house); construction will require minimal alteration of the existing roof and the materials used will match the rest of the house. Other Tudor Revival style homes in the Country Club District were built with roof dormers in various configurations during the district's period of historical significance (1924-1944). The shed roof dormers proposed for 4517 Drexel are similar to those seen on other period revival style homes in the district. I recommend approval of the COA with the following condition: that the dormers will be designed and built in such a manner that if they were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the roof would be unimpaired. Staff Recommendation & Findings: Staff concurs with Consultant Vogel's evaluation of the proposed plans for the proposed dormers/change to the front facade, also recommending approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness request. Findings supporting the recommendation include: • The proposed work is compatible with the historic character of the house and will require minimal alteration of the existing structure. • The proposed changes will not result in the loss of any significant architectural character defining features. • The proposed work will be compatible with the size scale, proportions and materials of the existing house. • The proposed work will not have an adverse effect on the surrounding homes or the neighborhood has a whole. Conditions for approval: • The plans presented Deadline for City Action: June 20, 2018 4/9/18 To: Whom It May Concern: Nathan & Martina Malek (the Owner), along with Ispiri, LLC (the Applicant), hereby propose to construct two (2) roof dormers on the third (3) floor attic level of the house located at 4517 Drexel Avenue (the Property). The roof dormers will be on the north-facing and south-facing slopes of the existing roof. See attached photos. The roof dormers were carefully designed so as to be architecturally correct to the era of the home and neighborhood. Attached with this application is a photo of a nearby roof dormer which was used for inspiration. The new windows are architecturally designed to mimic other windows in the house while still providing the required means of egress from the attic level. Exterior finishes will match other existing finishes on the home, or will imitate those said finishes in a more cost-effective manner. It is our opinion that the proposed dormers will enhance the home's value and appearance without deviating from the style of the neighborhood.

I'd like to nominate, my home, the Carl residence at 4217 Lynn Ave for Edina's 2018 Heritage Award. We moved to Morningside in 2007 because we loved the laid back, diverse, welcoming vibe of the neighborhood, charming look of the homes and fell in love with our spacious backyard as soon as we walked in it. The price of the home was a stretch to the budget we had landed on, but it was also perfect fit! We had a lot to do in terms of cosmetic updates but never imagined we'd want to ever do a remodel to a home already so much bigger in square footage than our existing Lake Nokomis Tudor. Fast forward 2 years and another child later and a nasty hail storm that damaged our roof, siding and deck. We had to replace it all and with that, it lead us to think about making other major improvements. We have since completed two remodels, the first rearranging almost every room in the home and adding an 8 ft addition out the back first & second floors for better functionality. We preserved the original light, natural oak floors, original coved and wainscoting ceilings, unique small convenience built-ins, chair rails and original black and white tile in the main floor bath among many other details! We also added a lot of new design elements but with everything we added, we tried to remain true to the original look of the home. We added matching archways to new rooms, nostalgic subway wall tile throughout, classic light fixtures and handles, and numerous built-Ins that reflected original woodworking details. We hunted for salvaged pieces to connect the existing with the new to make it feel cohesive and updated but keeping to the size and charm of the home we fell in love with! Fast forward another two years, growing boys, no designated office space and massive above-garage square footage that couldn't be developed as living space. Again, with our uniquely creative builder, JB Benson, owner of Sunnybrook Homes, we devised an idea to tear down the existing garage, add a sport court below ground, rebuild the garage and add an office above, all within the existing footprint of the previous garage. We ran into months and months worth of challenges from city codes (although we were just truly rebuilding what was already there) and several beautiful oak trees that had lived much longer than our or our neighbor's homes. We saved all but one tree and it had to come out for other reasons than our remodel and worked within the then stringent codes on residential buildings to build a cool, modern addition without changing anything about the exterior look of the house or footprint on our lot, preserving our beautiful front and back yards, neighbors trees and all of our views! In hindsight, it would've been much less expensive to tear down and start over, we could've gotten 10 or 12 foot ceilings that I dream of every time I'm in a new build. We could've added lots of windows and moved the garage to 2 the back of the lot but I wouldn't change a thing. I love that this house has character, history and a story and we have neighbors that played in it as children before we called it home. We moved to Morningside because we loved the charm, the trees, the walkability and feel it's safe for our kids to ride their bikes to the park or friend's houses. We wanted to do our part to preserve and enhance, not completely alter or change, what made us fall in love with the community that was built long before we arrived but that we've enjoyed to be a part of for over a decade now!

Submitter First Name Bob Submitter Last Name Moore Preferred Phone Number Preferred Email Name of Property Mueller Residence Owner of Property Nate and Tiffany Mueller Email Address Address of Property 6400 Parnell Avenue South City Edina State MN Zip Code 55435 Fax Number none Reason: What was done to preserve and/or restore the historic integrity of the nominated property? Nate and Tiffany Mueller are both designers who were living on the west coast, where mid-century homes were everywhere. As they both have always loved 50s and 60s architecture, they knew that was what they wanted when they moved the family back to Minnesota. Having looked at available properties online, they had daily alerts set up to email them when new homes were posted in Edina and a few other cities. Among their email alerts was the property at 6400 Parnell. But, there were no pictures—just a date of construction (1964), so they knew there was a chance that it would be a mid-century gem. Tiffany then looked it up on Google Street View and saw the outside of the house with the amazing A frame window that was a staple of that era of architecture. Immediately, they set up a time for their realtor to walk through the home and FaceTime video the property with Nate and Tiffany so they could see the inside. They were blown away by the bones of the house. It was one of the most incredible homes they had ever seen and knew that moment that they wanted it. Upon their offer being accepted, it was Tiffany who made the trip to Minnesota for the closing and final inspection and to physically walk through the house for the first time! The downside of their purchase was that the home had not been cared for; it had rotting siding and soffits, there were drainage issues with rainwater leaking into the basement, the bathrooms hadn't been touched since the home was first built and had mold growing in the walls and even some mold growing in the kitchen cupboards. The landscaping hadn't been touched in years and was overgrown covering much of the front of the house first floor. Recently Nate and Tiffany were told by their neighbor that the owners were selling the house as a tear down. The Mueller's decided that it was going to be their project to restore this home to its original glory while adding their personal stamp on it. They've had all the siding replaced and repainted the house to a period appropriate charcoal color. They updated both upstairs bathrooms to remove the mold while adding period appropriate light fixtures and vanities. They are about to undertake gutting the kitchen and revive it to be an amazing gathering place for family and guests. They also plan to update the entire home piece by piece to continue to revive it back to its original glory. Nate and Tiffany know a lot of care and thought went into building this house and they want to honor that by bringing it back to life and creating a home their family will stay in as their forever home. To document their journey of restoration and updating, Tiffany started an almost monthly blog: "HelloRefuge.com". Here, she writes and documents with photos the transformation of their amazing home. With her great eye for interior design, Tiffany's Instagram photos of the renovation caught the eye of the editor 2 Image Upload Image Upload Image Upload Professionals (if any) involved in the project; please provide contact information for any realtors, architects, builders, designers, or other professionals. of 'Atomic Ranch' magazine, a national publication published quarterly that features stunning mid-century homes from around the United States.
