MEMORANDUM
TO: Heritage Preservation Commission
FROM: Robert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant
DATE: November 6, 2019
SUBJECT: Resurvey of Country Club District – Plan of Treatment Evaluation
Background
The initial survey of the Country Club District was conducted in 1979 as part of a city-wide
survey sponsored by the Edina Heritage Preservation Board or HPB (now the Heritage
Preservation Commission). The Country Club neighborhood was identified as a potential
historic district and in 1980 the city obtained a grant from the Minnesota Historical Society for
the purpose of nominating it to the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register
nomination form prepared by Lynne VanBrocklin Spaeth, an independent consultant, is dated
October, 1980; however, the district was not officially listed in the National Register until April
26, 1982. The 1980 National Register survey documented 555 properties within the district
boundaries, including the old Wooddale School (later demolished).
Although the HPB occasionally commented on home remodeling projects in the district, there
was no comprehensive design review process until the city revised its heritage preservation
ordinance in 2002-03. The Country Club District was designated an Edina Heritage Landmark
District on February 18, 2003, at which time the city council approved the original district plan
of treatment (POT). The heritage landmark overlay district boundaries were coextensive with
those of the National Register historic district, encompassing 555 single-family residences, of
which 507 were considered contributing resources. The HPB began reviewing demolition and
new construction projects for Certificates of Appropriateness (COAs) in 2003. The district POT
was later revised to include additional guidelines for new detached garages (adopted December
9, 2004) and new homes (adopted April 15, 2008).
At the time the Country Club District was established, the HPB began to plan for a re-survey of
the district. Because of staff time and funding limitations, the survey was not carried out until
2007-08, when the city imposed a year-long, city-wide moratorium on tear-downs, and focused
chiefly on documenting the changes in the appearance of the district since 1980. In addition to
the revised POT, the 2007-08 survey refined and elaborated a district statement of significance,
and identified a number of information gaps to be addressed by future surveys.
Current Conditions
The Country Club District covers approximately 300 acres and is divided into two sections
(Brown and Fairway), which together contain 534 single-family homes constructed between
1924 and 1977, The majority of existing homes were built before 1932 and 490 date from 1924-
1944, the district’s “period of significance” for preservation planning purposes (the developer
stopped imposing deed restrictions on lots sold after July 1, 1944). Although over 90% of the
homes in Country Club are classified as contributing heritage resources, none of the houses
2
within the district boundaries have been designated or determined eligible for designation as
heritage landmarks. While existing heritage resource inventories do not distinguish between
“contributing” and “non-contributing” properties, the district continues to represent a historically
significant concentration of houses and streetscapes which physically comprise a specific
environment with a distinctive identity of time and place. Historic integrity is very good and the
physical characteristics that qualified the district for listing in the National Register in 1980 have
been preserved intact. Only about 10% of the homes were constructed after 1945 and most of
these are over fifty years old.
City records show that the adverse effects of tear-downs have been mitigated by the design
standards imposed by the POT. Since 2003, a total of 13 COAs have been approved for
demolition of existing homes in the district. Of these, less than half represented historic
properties (i.e., homes built during the district’s period of significance), all of which were in
deteriorated condition or had been substantially altered from their original appearance. The
replacement homes are architecturally compatible and complement the historic character of
adjacent historic homes.
Over 100 COAs have been issued for garages since 2003. The last original detached garage in
the district was probably a functionally obsolete, one-stall structure at 4615 Wooddale that was
demolished in 2008. Few, if any, of the existing multi-stall detached garages pre-date 1968 and
it is unlikely that any of these structures meet the minimum design standards outlined in the
POT. Although the COA program has not saved any historic garages, the POT requirement that
new garages for historic properties must match the architecture of the houses has undoubtedly
enhanced the overall character of the district. COAs for construction of new attached garages
have also had a positive effect on the district as a whole by limiting the new garages to secondary
elevations and making them architecturally complementary to the houses.
COAs have also been issued for partial demolition and exterior alterations that destroy or
obscure significant façade features. In general, only projects involving changes to distinctive
architectural features on the principal (street-facing) façade are subject to design review. The
POT offers only general guidelines for this kind of work, but in practice the façade alterations
covered by COAs have been compatible in size, scale, and material with the character of the
houses.
A windshield inspection of the district carried out earlier this year found that almost every
historic home in the district had been altered to some extent, with the great majority of
alterations involving new attached garages, porches, and the addition of new living space on rear
and side elevations, Very few of the primary facades of homes constructed during 1924-44 have
been substantially altered from their as-built appearance. Although there has been a significant
increase in building mass throughout the district since the 1970s, nearly all of the homes still
meet the basic design standards imposed by the original Thorpe Bros. deed restrictions. Work
that does not require a COA has resulted in a slow but steady erosion of historic character as a
result of window and door replacement, roofing, HVAC installation, and small-scale home
improvement projects and a great deal of historic fabric continues to be lost as a result of interior
remodeling. Nevertheless, over 80% of the houses retain integrity of those exterior features
necessary to convey their historic architectural values.
3
Conclusions
1. The Country Club District POT, as revised, continues to be effective in controlling tear-
downs in the district. Only those historic properties shown to be structurally deteriorated
or substantially altered from their as-built appearance have been allowed to be
demolished and the replacement homes meet the POT design standards for new
construction. The POT has also helped to enhance the historic character of the district by
requiring new garages to be visually compatible with the architecture of the historic
homes.
2. Based on the 2019 resurvey, 488 houses in Country Club meet the minimum
requirements for consideration as heritage preservation resources. A relatively small
number of historic homes have been substantially altered from their as-built appearance
and no longer qualify for protection—the HPC should consider issuing a list of these
properties for public information purposes.
3. The 46 houses constructed after 1945 (including the 13 new homes built since 2002) have
been evaluated as non-contributing and should not be treated as heritage preservation
resources.
4. The preferred strategy for mitigating the effects of exterior remodeling projects is an
increased emphasis on public education to foster voluntary compliance with “best
practices” in heritage resource management. No major changes to the district POT are
recommended.
5. The Country Club District is in an excellent state of preservation, especially in
comparison with other, similarly sized residential historic districts. It clearly possesses
the characteristics required for registration as an Edina Heritage Landmark District.

The Country Club District, located in the heart of suburban Edina and six miles southwest of downtown Minneapolis, is a residential suburban development containing 553 residences and one school building. The district, which was first developed in 1922 into the Brown (west of Wooddale Avenue) and Fairway (east to Arden Avenue) sections, is bounded on the north by the Old Minneapolis and St. Paul Suburban Railway Company right-of-way (now the rear lot line of blocks 1-3, Brown Section); on the south roughly by West Fiftieth Street; on the east by the rear lot line of blocks 2 and 11, Fairway Section; and on the west by Minnehaha Creek and Normandale Road. The district contains thirteen contoured streets -- four run east-west, eight run north-south, and one, one-block semicircular street runs north-south. Four well-landscaped and maintained islands are located at intersections on Sunnyside and Country Club roads. A large park is located on Minnehaha Creek at the intersection of
Browndale Avenue and Bridge Street.
In 1922 Thorpe Brothers Realty Company divided the 300 acre district into 585 homesites. The homesites range in size and configuration from small (typically 50 by 100 foot) rectangular shaped homesites on Arden Avenue, the eastern edge of the district, to large (typically 70-100 by 150 foot) contoured homesites along Browndale Avenue and Sunnyside Road, the western boundary of the district (located on Minnehaha Creek). Prior to selling homesites, Thorpe installed water, sewer, electricity (underground), gas, streets and sidewalks, and planted trees throughout the district; All building and planting in the district was restricted and supervised by a home builder's committee and later by a committee of the Country Club Association. Specific restrictions included minimum building valuations -- $7,500 in the Brown Section and $6,000 in the Fairway Section; all lots were reserved for single family homes; all building plans, including specifications, elevation, location, grade and color scheme were reviewed by the committees; all out-buildings were required to correspond in style to the adjoining residence; fuel storage tanks and garbage receptacles could not be visible; no sign greater than 480 square inches could be placed on a lot; and no shedding poplars, ^ box-elders or other "objectionable" trees or shrubbery could be planted.

Statement of Significance (in one paragraph)
The Country Club District, a well-planned suburban residential developmentdating from 1922, is significant as one of Minnesota's first restricted,comprehensive residential planning efforts, which became the prototypefor Edina's subsequent residential developments; as a large homogeneous
neighborhood of "Ms tor ic revival architecture; and as the home of alarge number of the Twin Cities' leaders in business, industry, communications,and civic affairs.
Planning for the Country Club District into a comprehensively developed residential community was begun by Samuel S. Thorpe and Thorpe Brothers Realty Company in 1922. In that year, the Brown and Browndale farms, as well as part of the Baird homestead, were purchased for the development. Between 1922 and 1924, Thorpe spent over one million dollars in platting the 300 acre^s into 585 homesites; planting and landscaping; installing and paving sidewalks and streets; installing water, gas, underground electrical wiring and sewers; and developing an eighteen-hole golf course and club house.
Many of the principles of "modern town planning," applied to post-
World War I developments such as the Olmstead Brothers' Palso Verdes
Project near Los Angeles, Mariemont near Cincinnati, Roland Park near
Baltimore, and the Country Club Districts near Charlottesville, Birmingham and Kansas City, were incorporated into the design of Thorpe's development.
In many respects, Thorpe's development was modeled after J.C. Nichols' Country Club District in Kansas City --a landscaped development with curved streets, large contoured homesites, parks, and an eighteen-hole golf course. Thorpe borrowed the central theme represented in Nichols' development --a planned residential area, with streets paved and utilities installed before lots were sold; with detailed deed restrictions; control over the value and architecture of houses; and a neighborhood association under the developer's sponsorship to build community activities and work closely with the local government.

As a result of the strict adherence to these restrictions, Thorpe's idealized community of "the exclusive and select"—a community where you can be proud to live, proud of your home . . . and of your neighbor's home as well"—became a reality. The well-planned residential development envisioned by Thorpe, designed to be in close proximity to shopping, schools (in 1925 Thorpe donated part of Lot 16, Brown Section for con struction of the Wooddale School), churches and a country
club (an 18-hole golf course and club house were developed by Thorpe south of the district), is a district of well-designed
and constructed homes, all but a few in an excellent state of preservation; well landscaped and maintained yards; no above
ground electrical wiring; no obtrusive signage; contoured streets; and parks and intersection islands.
The majority of buildings in the district are two stories in height, set back twenty feet from sidewalks, built in pro portion to adjacent buildings (the houses east of Wooddale Avenue are smaller in scale than those built to the west), and exhibit a minimum of alterations (additions and alterations have generally been limited to the rear facades of buildings).
The 554 buildings in the district, the majority constructed between 1924 and 1931, represent a significant concentration of historic revival architectural styles. In 1925, Thorpe
Brothers Realty Company commissioned the Minneapolis architec tural firm of Liebenberg and Kaplan to design model homes on
Edina Boulevard and Moorland Avenue. The houses were designed in a variety of historic revival styles, including English Tudor, French Provincial and American Colonial. To a consider able degree, these houses set an architectural standard for later construction in the district.2 Historic revival styles, including American Colonial (158), American Georgian (6), Cape Cod Colonial (6), Dutch Colonial (4), English Cottage (180), English Georgian (3), English Tudor (20), French Provincial (11), Italian Renaissance (17), Mediterranean (67), New England Colonial (38), Norman (25), and Southern Colonial (1) inspired the design of 97% of the buildings in the district. The most
popular designs are English Cottage (32%), American Colonial (29%), and Mediterranean (12%). The majority of buildings were designed and constructed by contractors. Following are descriptions of the most popular styles represented in the district.
The American Colonial Revival style, popular throughout the district from 1924 through the 1950s, is typified by a height of two stories; a second story overhang, usually with
drops or pendants; strictly symmetrical facades; gabled roofs; a chimney at one or both ends; narrow clapboard siding; double hung windows, usually with shutters; and doors with classical trim.
Physical Description - Continued
The English Cottage style, popular throughout the district from 1924 to 1931, is characterized by a height of
two stories; use of stone, brick or stucco as the principal construction material; steep triangular gables projecting above a gable or hip roof, and usually not continuous with the plane
of the wall; extensive use of decorative brick or stone around semicircular door and garden gate openings, on the foundation
and front steps; impressive chimneys, usually decorated with brick or stone, frequently the chimney is placed on the front facade; and use of "mock" half timbering.
The Mediterranean (Spanish Colonial Revival) style was popular in the design of houses throughout the district from 1924 to 1930. The Wooddale School on West 50th Street exhibits Mediterranean style features. Mediterranean style residences in the district are characteristically two stories in height; have white or cream colored smooth stucco walls; low hip roofs, usually with red or green barrel tile; contain wrought iron grilles as decoration, such as window boxes, mock balconets and railings; and contain semicircular openings, mock arcades
and recessed panels.
Twenty houses on Casco, Drexel, Wooddale and Moorland Avenues and on Edina Boulevard were designed in the English
Tudor style from 1925 to 1936. The style, closely related to the English Cottage style, is characterized by a height of two stories; extensive use of half timbering with stucco or brick; multiple triangular gables projecting above the roof; impressive chimneys, usually decorated with brick and stone, and containing projecting chimney pots; doorways with the "Tudor arch", a distinctive, very wide, almost flat, but pointed arch; oriel windows, often with tracery or diamond shaped panes; sharply pitched roofs; and projecting bays.
The New England Colonial Revival style? used in the design of thirty-eight buildings throughout the district from 1924 to 1950, is characterized by a height of two to two-and-one- half stories; gable roofs, usually with dormers; strictly symmetrical facades; double hung windows with shutters; side sing or wings; cornice with dentils; chimney at each gable end; centrally located door with classical trim; and use of brick as the principal construction material.
Seventeen houses in the district were constructed from
1924 to 1927 in the Italian Renaissance Revival style on Arden,
Bruce, Casco, Drexel, Wooddale, and Browndale Avenues.
Italian Renaissance Revival style features used in the design of these houses include a height of two stories; rectangular
or square plans; vertically symmetrical door and window openings; smooth stucco walls; low hip roofs, often composed of barrel tile; use of semicircular arches, lintels and recessed panels; projecting cornices; placement of second
story windows close to the cornice; and centered doorways with classical trim.
*Also referred to as Georgian.
MAR 18 1982Physical Description - Continued page 3
The French Provincial style was used in the design of eleven houses from 1926 to 1941 on Bruce, Drexel, Moorland and Wooddale Avenues, Edina Boulevard and Sunnyside Road. These houses contain the following French Provincial design characteristics: a height of two stories; deep hip roofs; segmentally arched windows, dormers and doors; vertically symmetrical placement of windows, dormers and doors, often decorated with shutters; brick or stucco as the principal construction materials; and corner quoins.
The Norman Revival style was used in the design of twenty-five houses on Browndale, Moorland, Casco, Drexel and Wooddale Avenues, Edina Boulevard, Edgebrook Place and Sunnyside Road. Characteristics of this style include a height of two stories; combination of hip and gable roofs; multiple triangular gables projecting above the roof; impressive chimneys with decorative brick or stone, and capped with chimney pots; exten sive use of half timbering; main entrance located in a round tower capped with a conical roof; extensive use of decorative patterned brick or decorative stone.
The district contains 199 buildings (36%) that are categorized as pivotal—buildings of historical and/or architectural importance that define the significance of the district. 351 buildings (63%) are considered complementary to the district. Four buildings, all built in contemporary styles in the 1970s, are categorized as intrusive to the signi ficance of the district. Following is a breakdown of categories within the district with corresponding dates of construction and architectural style designations.

Significance - continued Pa8e 17
In June, 1924 homesites in the Country Club District were first offered for sale. All building and planting in the district was restricted and supervised by a home builders committee initially and later by a committee of the Country Club Association (1930 - 1941). Thorpe ' s promotional literature and advertisements included
among the attributes of the district "... the way it's laid
out in homesites rather than chopped up into lots; the 18 hole golf course and clubhouse; the natural scenic beauty of the gently
rolling and well-treed property, its spaciousness; its proximity
to downtown; its freedom from city taxes and the fact that the purchase of a homesite in the Country Club District carries with it all the modern improvements — paved streets/ curbing/ sidewalks, water, electricity and sewage. There are no improvement assess ments to follow. "^ Initially, the Country Club District attracted little attention; twenty-five houses were constructed in 1924. To attract residents to the district, Thorpe commissioned the Minneapolis architectural firm of Liebenberg and Kaplan in 1925- 26 to design model homes on Edina Boulevard and Moorland Avenue. By 1931, 309 houses (56%) had been constructed throughout the district. The transformation of a rural agricultural community into a suburban community was complete. During the 1920s, the district formed a self-conscious, and virtually self-contained
community, easily distinguishable from other Edina residential areas by its affluence, architecture and landscaping. During the 1930s, however, the original Brown and Fairway Sections were gradually
surrounded by newly platted residential districts of similar econ omic status, such as Brucewood, Sunny Slope, Rolling Green/ and White Oaks. ^ Building continued throughout the district during the Great Depression and by 1936, 421 houses (16%) had been con structed. By 1940, 494 houses (90%) had been constructed through out the district.
Future restricted and planned development in the district and throughout Edina was ensured in 1929 when Edina, the first mun icipality in Minnesota other than the three first class cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth, passed a zoning ordinance. The ordinance was virtually tailor-made to the specifications of the Country Club District. The planning efforts initiated in the district set the standard for subsequent residential developments in Edina and in 1948 a zoning ordinance further adopted many of the restrictions that had been established twenty-four years earlier in the district. It is important to note that Edina was also the
first suburb in Minnesota to engage professional planning con sultants and to later establish a full-time planning position, largely as a result of the success of the earlier planning efforts
in the district.
Architecturally, the Country Club District represents a signif icant and well-preserved concentration of historic revival styles.
The model homes built by Thorpe in 1925-36, designed in a variety
•Qpgrp 18Significance - continued F &
MAR 1
of historic revival styles, set an architectural standard for later construction in the district. Historic revival styles,
including American Colonial (158), American Georgian (6), Cape Cod Colonial (6), Dutch Colonial (4), English Cottage (180), English Tudor (20), French Provincial (11), Italian Renaissance (17),
Mediterranean (67), New England Colonial (38), Norman (25), and Southern Colonial (1), inspired the design of 97% of the buildings in the district. The most popular styles are English Cottage (32%), American Colonial Revival (29%), and Mediterranean (12%). For a
detailed description of the historic revival architecture rep resented in the distirct, see #7, Description.

EDINA’S HISTORIC COUNTRY CLUB DISTRICT
PLAN OF TREATMENT
PLANNING OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of the Country Club Heritage Landmark District is preservation of the existing
historic house facades and streetscapes. Certificates of Appropriateness from the Heritage
Preservation Board will be required for demolition, moving buildings, and new construction within the
district. In fulfillment of this responsibility, the City has adopted the Secretary of the Interior’s
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties as the basis for the Board’s design review decisions.
The preferred treatment for heritage preservation resources in the Country Club District is
rehabilitation, which is defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property
through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its
historical, cultural, or architectural values.
SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR’S STANDARDS
The Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation are neither technical nor prescriptive, but are
intended to promote responsible preservation practices. They are regulatory only with respect to
Certificates of Appropriateness for demolition and new construction; for work that is not subject to
design review, they are advisory. The standards for rehabilitation are:
a) A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change
to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
b) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive
materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will
be avoided.
c) Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that
create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements
from other historic properties, will not be undertaken.
d) Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained
and preserved.
e) Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship
that characterize a property will be preserved.
f) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in
design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be
substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
g) Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means
possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
h) Archaeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be
disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
i) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials,
features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be
differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale
and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment.
2
j) New additions and adjacent new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed
in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment will be
unimpaired.
CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS
A Certificate of Appropriateness will be required before any City permit is issued for the demolition
and new construction of any principal dwelling or detached garage within the district boundaries.
Definitions:
Demolition - For purposes of design review and compliance with City Code §850.20 subd. 10,
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.
Heritage Preservation Resource or Historic Building – Any building, site, structure, or object
that has been so designated by the Heritage Preservation Board on the basis of its historic
associations or historic architectural qualities which add to the significance of the district as a
whole. Heritage preservation resources may lack individual distinction but must possess historic
significance and integrity of those features necessary to convey their heritage preservation value.
An updated inventory of heritage preservation resources in the Country Club District is maintained
by the City Planner. Heritage preservation resources include those homes built from 1924 – 1944,
the period when the developer enforced rigid architectural standards on new home construction
through restrictive covenants.
No Certificate of Appropriateness will be approved for the demolition, in whole or in part, of any
heritage preservation resource in the district unless the applicant can show that the subject
property is not a heritage preservation resource, or no longer contributes to the historical
significance of the district because its historic integrity has been compromised by deterioration,
damage, or by inappropriate additions or alterations.
Except in extraordinary circumstances involving threats to public health or safety, no Certificate of
Appropriateness will be issued for the demolition of an existing heritage preservation resource in
the district without an approved design plan for new construction.
DESIGN REVIEW GUIDELINES
New home construction will be limited to existing residential lots and their design will be compatible
with the original (1924-1944) Country Club District deed restrictions relating to architecture. The
following guidelines generally reflect the principles of the deed restrictions and will be applied by the
Heritage Preservation Board to design review of plans for new houses:
Size, Scale & Massing - New homes should be compatible in size, scale, massing, orientation,
setback, color, and texture with historic buildings in the district constructed prior to 1945. Facades
should be architecturally similar to existing historic homes and visually relate to the historic facades of
nearby homes; radically contrasting façade designs will not be allowed. Entrances, porches, and other
projections should relate to the pattern of existing adjacent historic homes and respect the rhythm and
continuity of similar features along the street. Roof forms should be consistent with typical roof forms
3
of existing historic homes in terms of pitch, orientation, and complexity. New homes should be
constructed to a height compatible with existing adjacent historic homes, and the maximum height of
new construction should be within 10% of the average height of existing homes on adjacent lots, or the
average of the block measured from the original surface grade to the highest part of the roof.
Exterior Finishes - Traditional materials and exterior finishes (horizontal lap siding, stucco, brick,
false half-timbering, wood shakes, stone) are recommended for use on facades which are visible from
the street. The use of non-traditional materials (such as Hardi-Plank siding and steel roofing) should
be considered on a case-by-case basis; imitative wood or masonry finishes should duplicate the size,
shape, color, and texture of materials historically used in the District. Aluminum and vinyl siding are
not appropriate for street facades.
Accessory Mechanical Equipment - Mechanical equipment, solar panels, air conditioners, satellite
dishes, and antennae should be concealed whenever possible or placed in an inconspicuous location so
as not to intrude or detract from historic facades and streetscapes.
Decks & Accessory Structures - Contemporary designs are acceptable for decks and accessory
structures so long as they are not visible from the street.
Landscaping Elements - Landscaping such as retaining walls, planters, fences, planting beds, and
walkways, should be visually compatible with the historic character of the district in size, scale,
material, texture, and color. Retaining walls should follow the grade of the lot and blend with the
historic streetscape.
Impervious Surfaces - Construction of large areas of impervious surface for driveways, patios, and
off-street parking should be discouraged in favor of permeable pavement systems and other “green”
alternatives to solid concrete, brick, or bituminous paving.
Building Code Requirements - Building code requirements should be complied with in such a
manner that the architectural character of the new home is compatible with the historic character of the
neighborhood.
Year Built Identification - New homes should be clearly identified as such by means of a plaque or
inscription (to be placed on an exterior surface) bearing the year of construction.
GARAGES
Modernistic designs for new detached garages will be discouraged. New detached garages should
match the architectural style of the house on the same lot as well as the historic character of the
neighborhood. The following guidelines will be applied to design review of plans for new garages:
The new garage should be subordinate to the house. The preferred placement is at the rear of the lot or
set back from the front of the house to minimize the visual impact on adjacent homes and streetscapes.
Front facing attached garages are discouraged. No new detached garage should be taller, longer, or
wider than the house on the same lot. The roofline should have a maximum height within 10% of the
average height of existing detached garages on adjacent lots, or the average of the block.
Undecorated exterior walls longer than 16 feet should be avoided on elevations visible from the street
or adjacent properties.
New garages should be clearly identified as such by means of a plaque or inscription (to be placed on
an exterior surface) bearing the year of construction.
4
DRIVEWAYS
Driveways should be compatible in width and material with historic driveways in the district and
should be designed in such a manner that they do not radically change, obscure, or destroy the historic
character-defining spatial organization and landscape features of residential lots, yards, and
streetscapes. New curb-cuts should be avoided whenever possible.
CITY RESPONSIBILITIES
The City will develop and implement plans for the preservation, maintenance, and replacement of all
public infrastructure within the district, including streets, trees, sidewalks, street lighting, signs, parks,
and open space areas that give the neighborhood its distinguishing character.
The distinguishing original qualities and historic character of the district will not be damaged or
destroyed as a result of any undertaking funded or assisted by the City. The removal or alteration of
any historic building or landscape feature should be avoided whenever possible.
VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE
The City will promote voluntary compliance with historic preservation standards for the rehabilitation
of individual historic properties by encouraging repairs, additions, or alterations which make possible
an efficient contemporary use of older homes in the district while preserving those features that are
historically and architecturally significant.
Although not ordinarily subject to Certificates of Appropriateness, small additions or minor alterations
should be done in such a manner that they do not destroy historically significant architectural features.
New additions should be differentiated from historic architecture and designed to be compatible with
the size, scale, color, material, and character of the property.
NATURAL DISASTERS
When historic properties are impacted by man-made or natural disasters, every reasonable effort will
be made to avoid total loss. If demolition must occur, historic buildings should be recorded so that a
body of information about them (photographs, drawings, and written data) will be preserved for the
benefit of the public.
DISTRICT RE-SURVEY
The City will arrange for a re-survey of the Edina Country Club District every ten years to document
changes in the appearance and historic integrity of historic properties; to revise the list of heritage
preservation resources and non-heritage preservation resources present within the district boundaries;
and to revise the district plan of treatment as needed. The next re-survey will take place circa 2017.
