Staff introduced the COA request for a new detached garage at 4618 Arden Avenue. Jeah Rehkamp, Rehkamp

Motion made by Hassenstab seconded by Cundy to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness at 4618

C. COA: 4630 Drexel Avenue
Staff introduced the COA request to remove more than 50% of the walls at 4630 Drexel Avenue. Building
Official, David Fisher and Preservation Consultant, Robert Vogel attended to answer questions. The applicant
representative, Scott Busyn, Great Neighborhood Homes attended the meeting to explain the request.
Motion made by Lonnquist seconded by Nymo to deny the applicant’s request to remove more than 50%
of the surface area of the walls, and finding that demolishing the existing structure would not be
appropriate based on the following findings:
• Edina’s Preservation consultant finds that issuance of a COA for removing more than 50% of the surface
area of the walls, the demolition of the home, would not be appropriate.
• The house dates from the district’s period of historical significance.
• The applicant’s engineer opined “the existing structure is generally stable and does not pose any
immediate safety risks.”
• The distinctive historic architectural features on the subject property are the exterior walls, their stucco
finish, the roof shape/material, and the pattern of fenestration of the primary street facing façade.
• In its present condition, the house retains sufficient historic integrity to be considered a contributing
heritage preservation resource when evaluated within the historic context of the Country Club District.
Commissioners Lonnquist, Pollock, Schilling, Cundy, Birdman, Widmoyer, Nymo and Everson voted aye.
Commissioner Hassenstab voted nay. The motion carried.
