The Edina Theatre Sign that exists today is a reconstruction of the original 1934 sign that was destroyed by a tornado in 1981. The sign is made of steel and covered with sheet metal. In 2002, the Edina Heritage Preservation Board found that the reconstructed theater sign was the property’s most historically significant architecturally significant architectural feature and determined it alone was eligible for landmark designation as a historical object. The proposed COA request is for the removal of the sign from the building for rehabilitation, repainting of the sign, fix/replace electrical wiring inside and outside the sign, replace existing lights with LEDs (with the same wattage as existing lights), fix/replace neon as needed, and the reinstallation of the sign in the same location on the building. Primary Issues: The removal of the sign for rehabilitation and the conversion of the lighting to LED lighting is the reason a certificate of appropriateness is required. The applicant will remove the sign for rehabilitation but will be required to re-install the sign in the same location. Preservation Consultant Robert Vogel’s Comments: I have reviewed the COA application submitted by Brainerd Entertainment (DBA Mann Theatres) for work on the historic sign at the Edina Theater, located at 3911 W. 50th Street. The heritage preservation resource STAFF REPORT Page 2 consists of the Edina Theater sign and marquee, which was designated an Edina Heritage Landmark in 2005. The primary heritage preservation resource is the lighted sign; for preservation planning purposes, the theater building is not considered historically significant. The original Art Deco style theater sign was installed when the theater was built in 1934; the sign that exists today dates from 1981 and is a replica of the original that was destroyed by a tornado. The applicant proposes to repair the sign and convert the electrical lighting system incandescent bulbs to a LED system. The stated goal of the project is to preserve the historic appearance of the sign in accordance with the 2005 plan of treatment. The original paint colors and decorative elements of the sign will be refurbished and retained intact. Installation of the LED system will require replacement of the incandescent bulbs but should not substantially alter the structural integrity and physical appearance of the sign. It is my understanding that some or all of the renovation work will probably need to be performed off-site. In my professional opinion, the proposed renovation work is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for the rehabilitation of historic properties. The alterations required for conversion to LED will require removal of some structural elements; however, once the sign is rehabilitated, the new lighting system will be appropriate to the historic sign and the surrounding neighborhood. I recommend approval of the COA with the following condition: that once renovation work is completed, the sign will be immediately returned to its original location at 3911 W. 50th Street and reinstalled with its form and historic character unimpaired. Staff Recommendation & Findings: Staff concurs with Consultant Vogel’s evaluation of the proposed plans for the Edina Theatre sign at 3911 W 50th Street, 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 Edina Theatre plan of treatment.  The proposed Certificate of Appropriateness meets the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation.

Front Facing Dormers provides traditional detailing where dormers stack above main level windows. It also allows proper daylighting and egress to upper level bedrooms. Front Covered Porch with Central Gable provides friendlier street presence and neighborhood interaction with covered open porch. The front entry is highlighted over garage face. Reduced Garage Presence Shedding the garage roof from a forward facing gable, combined with the center gable and flanking screened porch allows the house to have a more symmetrical facade that is a hallmark of Cape Cod Colonial Revival homes. 4909 Sunnyside Road - Sketch Review PKA.

The subject property is a one-and-one-half story residence built in 1940. At the time the district was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places, the house was categorized as an example of the “Cape Cod Colonial Revival” style. This mid-century modern house form is relatively rare in the Country Club District, where the earlier period revival styles (Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Spanish Eclectic) are prevalent. The house has been altered from its as-built appearance and does not qualify for individual designation as an Edina Heritage Landmark; it is considered a heritage preservation resource solely because it was constructed during the district’s period of historical significance (1924-1944). The owner proposes to substantially alter the street-facing façade, including removal of the existing attached garage (which is not original) and construct additional second-floor living space. Homes with attached, street-facing garages are fairly common in the neighborhood, especially in relation to houses constructed after the mid-1930s—that is, after the developer stopped approving new house construction plans (Thorpe Bros. having delegated responsibility for enforcing the architectural controls in the restrictive covenants to the district’s homeowners association in 1934). Based on the plans presented, the new garage appears to be compatible with the property and should not have an adverse effect on the historic character of the streetscape. The addition of second-floor living space will substantially alter the house’s street façade and remove some of its original Cape Cod detailing. However, most of the proposed alterations (e.g., the new front entry porch, dormers and windows) appear to be compatible with those found on nearby historic properties and the materials described in the plans presented are also common throughout the district. Perhaps most importantly, the shape of the main roof will be retained as well as the original exterior wall cladding material. In my opinion, the new two-story façade with its Post-Modernist detailing should make the house more architecturally compatible with the older homes in the neighborhood. Finally, the proposed exterior modifications on the creek-side elevations will not be visible from the street. There is ample precedent for certifying this kind of new construction in Country Club, where the street facades constitute the primary architectural character defining features. Historically, Minnehaha Creek was not perceived as a significant aesthetic amenity for Country Club homeowners until after the Mill Pond was transformed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the late 1930s.
