I N TR O D U C TI O N : T he subject property, 4600 B rowndale Avenue is located on the west side of B rowndale Avenue, south of B ridge S treet and north of E dgebrook P lace. T he existing home was built in 1925 and is an example of T udor R evival S tyle. T he Certificate of Appropriateness request includes changes to the street facing façade associated with a remodel project at 4600 B rowndale Avenue. P roposed changes to the street facing façade include a change in the front door location, enlarging an attic gable window, covered entry/porch addition and removing a portion of existing decorative detailing to utilize the existing driveway location. T he remodel project also includes reorienting the tuck under garage to a side load garage, and a large addition off the rear of the existing home. AT TAC HME N T S : Description Staff Report Cons ultant Vogel Memo Applicant Submittal Aerial Map April 13, 2021 Heritage Preservation Commission Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner Certificate of Appropriateness: 4600 Browndale Avenue-Changes to Street Facing Facade Information / Background: The subject property, 4600 Browndale Avenue is located on the west side of Browndale Avenue, south of Bridge Street and north of Edgebrook Place. The existing home was built in 1925 and is an example of Tudor Revival Style. The Certificate of Appropriateness request includes changes to the street facing façade associated with a remodel project at 4600 Browndale Avenue. Proposed changes to the street facing façade include a change in the front door location, enlarging an attic gable window, covered entry/porch addition and removing a portion of existing decorative detailing to utilize the existing driveway location. The remodel project also includes reorienting the tuck under garage to a side load garage, and a large addition off the rear of the existing home. Primary Issues: There are proposed changes to the street facing façade which is why the proposed project requires a Certificate of Appropriateness. The proposed project also includes an addition off the rear of the existing house that is not visible from the street facing façade. Preservation Consultant Robert Vogel’s Comments: “I have reviewed the plans and other information provided in relation to the COA application for alteration of the house located at 4600 Browndale Avenue in the Country Club District. Built in 1925, the subject property is classified as an example of the Tudor Revival style; although it is not individually eligible for designation as an Edina Heritage Landmark, the house is considered a contributing heritage resource in the Country Club District. Therefore, a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) is required for certain types of exterior alterations and new construction. STAFF REPORT Page 2 The applicant proposes a number of minor façade alterations which in my opinion will have minimal impact on the property’s historic character. Based on the plans presented, all of the historically significant architectural character defining features of the street façade will be retained intact. The proposed renovation program obviously encompasses a good deal of exterior repair work to address deteriorated features and finishes. (The house has been altered from its as-built appearance—such change is inevitable and the Standards for Rehabilitation recognize this by not requiring restoration of all of a property’s original architectural features.) In my opinion, the new front porch with its standing seam metal roof is architecturally compatible with the house’s original design, does not require extensive demolition, and is therefore an appropriate rehabilitation treatment; it is also compatible with other historic houses in the neighborhood in terms of its size, scale and materials. The plans do not indicate any major loss of original masonry or significant changes in roof shape on the principal elevation. The project narrative does not mention any major structural systems stabilization or repair work. The proposed changes on the creek-side elevation also appear to be compatible with the historic house in size, shape and materials and will not require demolition of any historically important architectural features. Contemporary design for exterior additions is generally considered appropriate in historic districts when the loss of historic fabric is kept to a minimum and there is a visual distinction between old and new architectural features. In this case, the rear addition is readily distinguishable from the original house in appearance and should not detract from the visual qualities that make the 1925 house a heritage preservation resource. Although the planned addition and new landscaping will be visible from Minnehaha Creek (an important heritage resource in its own right), I do not believe they would compromise the historic integrity of the historic house or the Country Club District as a whole. The owners and their design team have done a good job exploring rehabilitation options so that the house could be thoroughly renovated and modernized, while at the same time preserving those exterior features which are most important to its heritage preservation value. Therefore, I recommend approval of the COA.” Staff Recommendation & Findings: Staff concurs with Consultant Vogel’s evaluation of the proposed plans at 4600 Browndale Avenue, also recommending approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness request. Findings supporting the recommendation include: • The information provided supporting the subject Certificate of Appropriateness is consistent with the Country Club District Plan of Treatment. Conditions for approval: • Any changes to the proposed plans would require review from the Heritage Preservation Commission.

Certificate of Appropriateness PETERSSEN/KELLER ARCHITECTURE 2919 JAMES AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55408 ANALYSIS Exterior Walls Preserved Per Edina Zoning Code Definitions: 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 aggregate, are removed; or b) 50% or more of the principal roof structure is removed, changing it’s shape, pitch, or height; or c) A front porch, side porch, vestibule, dormer, chimney, attached garage, or porch-cochere is removed or destroyed. This definition does not include removal of existing siding, roofing, trim, fascia, soffit, eave, moldings, windows, and doors. Conclusion for 4600 Browndale Proposal: This building does not qualify under the definition of demolition seeing as ___% of existing building exterior is proposed to be removed, minimal amounts of the original roof will be removed, and it does not meet any conditions is point c). DEMOLITION CALCULATION Total Area: 3,144.2 sqft Area of Building Exterior to be Removed: 766.1 sqft (24%) Area of Building Exterior to Remain: 2,378.1sqft (76%) 4600 Browndale Avenue - Certificate of Appropriateness PETERSSEN/KELLER ARCHITECTURE 2919 JAMES AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55408 ANALYSIS Basement Calculation Per Edina Zoning Code Definitions: Basement means a floor level of a building which is located partly or completely underground. Story means that portion of the building included between the surface of any floor and the surface of the floor next above, of if there is not a floor above, the space between the floor and the ceiling above. A basement with more than 50 percent of its exterior wall area located entirely below the proposed ground elevation adjoining the basement shall not be counted as a story. Conclusion for 4600 Browndale Proposal: The basement will be 61% buried, so it will comply. In the graphics, the white is the portion above grade, the red is the below grade. (Note: the software that was used to create the drawing also calculates the area) It is the architect’s understanding from Zoning Staff (Bodeker) that the garage area, shown as a gray “wireframe” is not to be included in the calculation and instead, the full height of the garage common wall with the house is included but not counted toward total exposed exterior space. BASEMENT CALCULATION Total Area (measured from finished floor to finished floor): 2582.17 sqft White Area (above ground): 999.03 sqft (38.7%) Red Area (completely buried):1583.14 sqft (61.3%) 4600 Browndale Avenue - Certificate of Appropriateness PETERSSEN/KELLER ARCHITECTURE 2919 JAMES AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55408 ANALYSIS Attic Calculation - Half Story Per Edina Zoning Code Definitions: Half Story Mean the uppermost floor of a building in which: (1) The intersection of the exterior wall and the roof is not more than three feet above the floor elevation (2) No more than 60 percent of the floor’s area exceeds five feet in height, as measured from the floor to the rafters Conclusion for 4600 Browndale: The attic level of the addition meets half story calculation having both no exterior wall and having 51.5% of the floor’s area exceeding five feet in height. It is the architect’s understanding from Zoning Staff (Bodeker) that only the area within the addition needs to be calculated for this committee. HALF STORY CALCULATION Total Floor Area: 355.5 sqft Floor Area < 5’0” (Shaded Pink): 172.7 sqft (48.5%) Floor Area > 5’0” (White): 182.8 sqft (51.5%) 4600 Browndale Avenue - Certificate of Appropriateness PETERSSEN/KELLER ARCHITECTURE 2919 JAMES AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55408 Thank you! 4600 Browndale Avenue - Certificate of Appropriateness PETERSSEN/KELLER ARCHITECTURE 2919 JAMES AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55408 REFERENCE Porch Precedents - Inspiration 4600 Browndale Avenue - Certificate of Appropriateness PETERSSEN/KELLER ARCHITECTURE 2919 JAMES AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55408 REFERENCE Lower Level Plan Maintained Existing Exterior Wall highlighted with red dashed-line Removed Exterior Wall highlighted with blue dashed- line 4600 Browndale Avenue - Certificate of Appropriateness PETERSSEN/KELLER ARCHITECTURE 2919 JAMES AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55408 REFERENCE Main Level Plan Maintained Existing Exterior Wall highlighted with red dashed-line Removed Exterior Wall highlighted with blue dashed- line 4600 Browndale Avenue - Certificate of Appropriateness PETERSSEN/KELLER ARCHITECTURE 2919 JAMES AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55408 REFERENCE Upper Level Plan Maintained Existing Exterior Wall highlighted with red dashed-line Removed Exterior Wall highlighted with blue dashed- line 4600 Browndale Avenue - Certificate of Appropriateness PETERSSEN/KELLER ARCHITECTURE 2919 JAMES AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55408 REFERENCE Attic Level Plan Maintained Existing Exterior Wall highlighted with red dashed-line PROPERTY DESCRIPTION EXISTING CONDITION SURVEY FOR: KUHL DESIGN + BUILD SHEET BOOK/PAGE JOB NO.

I N TR O D U C TI O N : T he subject property, 4518 C asco Avenue, is located on the west side of C asco Avenue, between B ridge S treet and Sunnyside Avenue. T he home on the subject property was built in 1928 and is classified as a T udor Revival style home. T he Certificate of Appropriateness request includes the demolition of an existing detached garage and construction of a new detached garage at 4518 Arden Avenue. T he proposed 22’ x 22’, 17 foot tall garage is slightly larger than the existing 20.4’ x 20.4’, 13.5’ tall garage. AT TAC HME N T S : Description Staff Report Cons ultant Vogel Memo Applicant Submittal Aerial Map April 13, 2021 Heritage Preservation Commission Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner Certificate of Appropriateness: 4518 Casco Avenue- new detached garage Information / Background: The subject property, 4518 Casco Avenue, is located on the west side of Casco Avenue, between Bridge Street and Sunnyside Avenue. The home on the subject property was built in 1928 and is classified as a Tudor Revival style home. The Certificate of Appropriateness request includes the demolition of an existing detached garage and construction of a new detached garage at 4518 Arden Avenue. The proposed 22’ x 22’, 17 foot tall garage is slightly larger than the existing 20.4’ x 20.4’, 13.5’ tall garage. Primary Issues: The Country Club District Plan of Treatment allows for the demolition and construction of a new garage with a Certificate of Appropriateness which is the reason for the COA application. Garages should match the architectural style of the house and the historic character of the neighborhood. New garages should be subordinate to the house and should be placed in the rear of the lot to minimize the visual impact on adjacent homes and streetscapes. The plan of treatment also suggests that undecorated exterior walls longer than 16 feet should be avoided on elevations visible from the street or adjacent properties. The proposed garage is located in the southwest corner of the subject property and is generally in the same location as the existing detached garage. The proposed structure is 3.5 feet from the rear property line and 4 feet from the south property line. The required setback is 3 feet, including any overhang. Based on zoning requirements, the garage is allowed to be up to 18 feet in height, measured from average existing grade on site. The proposed garage height is 17 feet. The proposed garage height is STAFF REPORT Page 2 compatible with the surrounding garages and is within 10% of the average of the existing detached garage heights on surrounding properties. The proposed garage is also adjacent to an existing privacy fence. The proposed garage will match the building materials of the existing home (stucco, trim and asphalt shingles). Preservation Consultant Robert Vogel’s Comments: “I have reviewed the plans and supporting documents submitted in relation to the COA application for construction of a new detached garage at 4518 Casco Avenue in the Country Club District. The subject property is a two-story Tudor Revival style residence built in 1928. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing garage and construct a new detached garage on the back part of the lot. The house is not individually eligible for heritage landmark designation but retains sufficient historic integrity of those features necessary to be considered a contributing heritage preservation resource in the district. Design review for this project is fairly straightforward. The construction of new detached garages is considered an appropriate undertaking in the Country Club District if it can be shown that the essential historic character of the house and streetscape will be preserved. No significant architectural features will be damaged or destroyed. Because it will be constructed on the rear of the lot, the new garage will partially screened by the house and therefore not highly visible from the public right-of-way. Based on the plans presented with the COA application, the proposed new construction will be visually compatible with surrounding properties and will reflect the architectural character of the house. The structure also meets the design guidelines for garages outlined in the district plan of treatment. I recommend approval of the COA with the usual conditions.” Staff Recommendation & Findings: Staff concurs with Consultant Vogel’s evaluation of the proposed plans for a new detached garage at 4518 Casco Avenue, also recommending approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness request. Findings supporting the recommendation include: • The information provided supporting the subject Certificate of Appropriateness is consistent with the Country Club District Plan of Treatment. Conditions for approval: • Any changes to the proposed plans would require review from the Heritage Preservation Commission. • A date-built plaque is required to be installed on the new garage MEMORANDUM TO: Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner FROM; Robert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant DATE: April 1, 2021 SUBJECT: COA for 4518 Casco Avenue I have reviewed the plans and supporting documents submitted in relation to the COA application for construction of a new detached garage at 4518 Casco Avenue in the Country Club District.

T he Certificate of Appropriateness request includes the construction of a new detached garage, a second-floor addition that is visible from the street facing façade, changes to the existing dormer on the street facing façade and changes to the entryway. AT TAC HME N T S : Description Staff Report Cons ultant Vogel Memo Aerial Map Applicant Submittal April 13, 2021 Heritage Preservation Commission Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner Certificate of Appropriateness: 4633 Arden Avenue-Changes to Street Facing Facade Information / Background: The subject property, 4633 Arden Avenue is located on the east side of Arden Avenue, just north of Country Club Road. The existing home on the subject property was built in 1938 and is identified as an example of English Cottage style but classified as an American Colonial Cottage in the Country Club National Register nomination documents. The Certificate of Appropriateness request includes the construction of a new detached garage, a second-floor addition that is visible from the street facing façade, changes to the existing dormer on the street facing façade and changes to the entryway. Primary Issues: The project includes a new detached garage and there are proposed changes to the street facing façade which are the reasons why the proposed project requires a Certificate of Appropriateness. The Country Club District Plan of Treatment allows for the demolition and construction of a new garage with a Certificate of Appropriateness. Garages should match the architectural style of the house and the historic character of the neighborhood. New garages should be subordinate to the house and should be placed in the rear of the lot to minimize the visual impact on adjacent homes and streetscapes. The plan of treatment also suggests that undecorated exterior walls longer than 16 feet should be avoided on elevations visible from the street or adjacent properties. Preservation Consultant Robert Vogel’s Comments: “I have reviewed the plans and supporting documents submitted in relation to the COA application for construction of a new detached garage and an exterior addition to the house at 4633 Arden Avenue in the Country Club District. STAFF REPORT Page 2 Built in 1938, the subject property is identified in the COA project narrative as an example of the “English Cottage style” but is classified as an “American Colonial Cottage” in the 1980 National Register nomination documents. I would categorize it as a Minimal Traditional house, which is described in McAlester’s Field Guide to American Houses as a “compromise style which reflects the form of traditional Eclectic houses but lacks their decorative detailing” (page 478). Inspired by a popular FHA small house prototype, this vernacular house form was widely built in suburban neighborhoods between about 1934 and 1955. Minimal Traditional style houses are not particularly well represented in the Country Club inventory and most surviving specimens were built after World War Two and are therefore not considered heritage preservation resources. Because the house at 4633 Arden Avenue was constructed in 1938, it was designed to meet the architectural standards contained in the developer’s original deed restrictions, which at that time were enforced by the Country Club’s homeowners association rather than Thorpe Bros. Realty. Thus, it meets the minimum requirements for a heritage preservation resource in the Country Club District on the basis of its age and association with the historical plan of development. One-and-one-half story houses are relatively uncommon in the Country Club District, where the predominant historic property types are two-story houses in the Anglo-American and Mediterranean period styles. It is worth noting that the Thorpe deed restrictions did not require houses in the district to be designed in any particular architectural style or built to a full two stories in height. Nevertheless, approximately 90% of the houses constructed between 1924 and 1944 are two-story Colonial or Tudor Revival style houses. I think it would be fair to say that the shift toward smaller houses in the district, already underway by 1938, should be recognized as evidence of the district’s history and development and that Minimal Traditional style houses should be treated as potential preservation resources whenever they possess the distinctive physical characteristics of the property type. The applicant plans to renovate and construct an addition to the existing home. Construction of a new detached garage is also proposed. The proposed exterior alterations, including changes to the front entrance and windows, are minimal and appear to be compatible with the house’s original design. Based on the plans presented, the changes to the sunroom also meet the general standards for rehabilitation—no significant architectural character defining features will be destroyed and the remodeled structure will be compatible with the size, scale, color and materials of the body of the house. The new shed-roofed dormers (on the principal and sunroom roofs), curved entry porch roof, and multi-pane replacement windows are also consistent with the Minimal Traditional style and are appropriate to the neighborhood streetscape. All of the new construction materials are appropriate to the house and in my opinion will not have an adverse effect on surrounding historic homes. Construction of new detached garages has been generally viewed as an appropriate undertaking in the Country Club District. In this case, no distinctive historic character defining features or materials will be destroyed and the new garage matches the exterior finishes and overall architectural character of the house. I recommend approval of the COA with the usual conditions.” STAFF REPORT Page 3 Staff Recommendation & Findings: Staff concurs with Consultant Vogel’s evaluation of the proposed plans at 4633 Arden Avenue, also recommending approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness request. Findings supporting the recommendation include: • The information provided supporting the subject Certificate of Appropriateness is consistent with the Country Club District Plan of Treatment. Conditions for approval: • Any changes to the proposed plans would require review from the Heritage Preservation Commission. • An as-built date plaque is required on the new detached garage. 1 MEMORANDUM TO: Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner FROM; Robert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant DATE: April 1, 2021 SUBJECT: COA for 4633 Arden Avenue I have reviewed the plans and supporting documents submitted in relation to the COA application for construction of a new detached garage and an exterior addition to the house at 4633 Arden Avenue in the Country Club District.

I recommend approval of the COA with the usual conditions. Busyn Residence 4633 Arden Avenue Narrative for Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for Changes to Street Facing Façade and New Detached Garage We are doing a rehabilitation and addition to the home at 4633 Arden Avenue and are proposing changes to the street facing façade and a new detached garage at 4633 Arden Avenue. Existing Home The existing home is an expansion 1 ½ story English Cottage style home built in 1938. We will be rehabilitating the home and doing an addition which will include living space over the sunroom on the right side of the home. The changes being proposed for the street facing façade are as follows: • Raising the roof of the sunroom to allow for living space above. This roof will match the pitch and not exceed the height of the existing roof. This roof is set back considerably from the main roof of the home so will not alter the main roof line. Adding a dormer to this space. • We will be pulling the front entry 3’ 4” forward, replacing the deteriorating existing flat roof covered entry with a new covered entry roof that blends into the roofline of the front living room. • Replacing a small dormer with a shed dormer with 5 windows to the left side of the principal roof structure • Changing the front door to a door with sidelights. • Separating the front left pair of windows. • Adding a new chimney cap. Existing Home Street Facing Façade Changes to Street Facing Façade Material List: • Maintain existing brick • Exterior trim all prime wood with matching crown molding of existing home: • New Marvin Windows. • Wood Front Door • Horizontal lap siding on dormers • Wood posts for covered entry wrapped in Boral (synthetic wood) trim for durability. Match wood post bracket detail of existing home: These changes to the street facing façade meet the Plan of Treatment because we are creating a compatible use for the property through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. Here are other examples of similar curved entry roofs and shed dormers on 1 ½ story homes in the district: New Detached Garage The existing home has a difficult to access, undersized attached garage which we will be removing and replacing it with a new detached garage. We are proposing a new detached garage in the southeast corner of the property. This is the best position as it nestles in behind the detached garage at the home to the south, is the furthest away from the yard for the home to the north, and will be the least visible from the street. The garage will be positioned for the doors to face north. This will allow for the lowest portion of the structure (eve) to be facing the home on Maple Road to the East. The home on Maple Road also has a door they use to get into the Country Club District. This garage position will allow neighbors to continue to access the door: View from new garage to the south View from new garage to the east Views from new garage to the home to the north The only adjacent detached garage in the District is at the home to the south and it measures 19.35’ high. There is a detached garage on Maple Road behind 4633 Arden (not in the District) that measures 18’ high The new detached garage will be 18’ high measured from average existing grade. Site Plan for home and garage: Materials list for new garage: • Reuse/match existing brick. Match corner details from home • Horizontal lap siding • Marvin windows • Exterior trim all prime wood with matching crown molding of existing home. • Steel garage doors with PVC overlay paintable trim and divided light windows.
