The CAP identifies the City’s GHG emission reduction target of 45% below 2019 levels by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The CAP’s goal is to help those who live and work in Edina imagine and achieve a future where the Earth and all who live on it thrive. For more information, the Climate Action Plan was the subject of a 2021 Town Talk, viewable here: https://www.bettertogetheredina.org/town-talks/forum_topics/sustainability-climate-action-plan In 2022, City staff kicked off the implementation of the CAP, undertaking ~60 actions, along with a few actions led by Commissions. With feedback from the Energy and Environment Commission, the Sustainability Division has informed City Council that it will ask that each Commission consider adding a Climate Action to its 2023 work plan. Attached is a refined list of Climate Actions that are suitable for Commission leadership. Some have been identified as especially suitable for certain Commissions, but all are available for all Commissions to consider for their 2023 work plan. These actions were chosen based on the nature of Commission work – resident volunteers who advise Council based on their Commission Charge. The intent for any Climate Action undertaken by a Commission is to study the issue and identify what's possible for Council to consider as next steps. It is not expected that Commissions accomplish the Action within one year, rather it is hoped that Commissions can lend their resident perspective and expertise to make meaningful contributions to the progress of any action they choose to undertake. Action Requested: Commissions should discuss the Climate Action Menu as part of their 2023 work plan development process. Commissions should consider including one Climate Action in their 2023 work plan, and be prepared to mention how their work aligns with the Climate Action Plan when presenting to City Council. For clarifying questions related to any Climate Actions, Commission Chairs should contact the EEC Chair and/or Vice Chair.

I N TR O D U C TI O N: AT TAC HME N T S: Description HPC Summary for Council City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 Administration Department Phone 952-927-8861 • Fax 952-826-0390 • EdinaMN.gov Date: June 29, 2022 To: Mayor and City Council cc: Scott Neal, City Manager, Cary Teague, Community Development Director, Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner, David Kendall, City Attorney From: Lisa Schaefer, Assistant City Manager Subject: Follow-up from June 21, 2022, Joint Meeting of Council and Heritage Preservation Commission At last week’s work session, Council and the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) held their annual joint meeting. HPC identified a number of concerns they wanted Council or staff to address. Following that meeting, Chair Schilling and Commissioner Cundy sent separate emails to Council, which identified specific requests. Staff also met last week to debrief the HPC/Council joint meeting. We are working to get clarity on what decisions Council will ultimately need to make for the HPC to move forward. Some questions we have are the same as identified by Chair Schilling, some are different. Following are staff responses to the emails from Chair Schilling, and Commissioner Cundy, as well as a proposed process moving forward. Commissioner Cundy made the following requests in a June 22, 2022, email to Council: 1. City Council should direct the City Manager to solicit outside legal guidance as to the legitimacy of the Plan of Treatment. 2. City Council should direct the City Manager to provide outside legal counsel to the Heritage Preservation Commission if/when requested. 3. City Council should direct City Planning Staff to strictly adhere to the provisions of Edina City Code Section 36-722 until such time as further changes are made to ordinance or related or referenced processes and tools. 4. City Council should direct City Planning Staff to correct the misstatements made to Applicant X at the June 14 HPC meeting. Staff Response: Some HPC Members do not agree with the legal advice of the City Attorney. It is the role of the City Attorney and staff to obtain legal opinions for the Council. It is outside the scope of the Heritage Preservation Commission to provide legal opinions. The Role of the HPC is to advise the City Council and make recommendations regarding policy decisions. The City Attorney has indicated that staff is following Code, and that no correction of statements to any applicant is appropriate at this point. Conversations at the June 14 HPC meeting were speculative about potential future applications that have not yet been received. Page 2 City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 The City does not have legal concerns regarding the current process that would make any interim changes necessary or wise. Long-term changes to City Code or other procedures should be made after careful consideration and feedback, following typical city processes. Chair Schilling made the following requests in her email to Council on Friday, June 24. I (as Chair of the Heritage Preservation Commission) would like to call a Special Meeting with the HPC. I request relevant staff and the City Attorney be present to discuss the following: TIMELINE: NO LATER THAN 7/15/2022 Identify the vulnerable points in the Plan of Treatment and/or City Code o Where are the definitions murky? o Where do the two directing documents conflict? o Which is our guiding document? Does one supercede the other? Identify the long-term solutions to the issues facing the HPC Clarify what regulatory function the HPC has and will have going forward Over what does the HPC have purview? Over what does the HPC NOT have purview? What is the protocol if our regulations are not adhered to? Make recommendations to modify the Plan of Treatment and/or City Code so that there are o Clear definitions that are cohesive across both the Plan of Treatment and City Code example: clarify the definition of "Demolition" o Clear understanding of the intent and application of the Plan of Treatment and how it applies to City Code Put in place a penalty if violation of the regulation occurs. Identify short term patches while the long- term solutions are in motion Identify vulnerable inconsistencies across city staff departments o Where do the building department, the planning department conflict with each other's policies? o Where do the different departments pass off responsibility? Staff Response: Staff does not feel that having an additional special meeting by July 15 is feasible, nor would it be productive. Some of the changes HPC might request would be a significant departure from the practices of the last 20 years. This requires a methodical process to follow regarding potential long- term changes to strategy. Staff suggests using our typical process for Council decisions as identified below. The next meeting of the HPC is July 12, and we could begin the discussion regarding next steps as identified below. 1) We define the practical concerns HPC and staff have with the current process. What changes would HPC like to see? Staff have identified the following broad areas of concerns and recommendations to be discussed. Staff have started drafting these concerns and questions in greater detail on the following pages, including: A. Clarification of Roles between Council, HPC Members, and staff B. Process and requirements for Certificates of Appropriateness (COAs) and Plans of Treatment. C. Enforcement concerns and recommendations 2) HPC develops their written recommendations to Council (either through an Advisory Communication or a Staff Report). 3) Staff evaluates the practical/legal impact of those recommendations through a Staff Report. 4) As directed by Council, staff and/or the HPC gets feedback from the larger community about recommendations. 5) Council decides which changes to implement, if any. 6) Staff revises code and procedures accordingly. Page 3 City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 A. CLARIFICATION ROLES – COUNCIL, HPC, STAFF Questions to Resolve: Should the HPC be advisory only or should the Council delegate some of its legal authority to the HPC? If so, which authority should be delegated? Current practice: The ordinance indicates HPC makes recommendations to City Planner with respect to COA. The Council has not delegated it statutory authority through the City Code. Through the Work Plan, the Council has delegated some authority to review and issue decisions on COAs (subject to Council appeal). HPPC Work Plan Initiative 1: Review and decide on Certificates of Appropriateness (COA) applications for changes to heritage landmark designated properties. Relevant State Statutes 471.93 subd 3. Subd. 3. Powers. The powers and duties of any commission established pursuant to this section may include any power possessed by the political subdivision creating the commission, but shall be those delegated or assigned by the ordinance establishing the commission. Relevant City Code DIVISION 1 - GENERALLY Purposes and duties generally. All boards and commissions established by the council shall be advisory to the council and shall have the responsibility to: (1) Investigate matters within the scope of the particular board or commission or as specifically directed by the council. (2) Advise the council by communicating the viewpoint or advice of the board or commission. (3) At the direction of the council, hold hearings, receive evidence, conduct investigations, and, on the basis of such hearings, evidence and investigations, make decisions and recommendations to the council. Advisory role. A board or commission established by the council shall not assume the role of an administrative or legislative body. DIVISION 5. - HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION Sec. 2-187. - Duties and responsibilities. The commission shall: 1) Advise the council, manager, and other city commissions and provide leadership for implementing the heritage preservation regulations. 2) Develop and maintain a comprehensive plan for heritage resource preservation to ensure that community development policies and decisions respect the city's heritage and promote stewardship of heritage resources. 3) Conduct an ongoing survey of historic buildings, sites, structures, objects, and districts and maintain an inventory of the heritage resources in the city. 4) Conduct evaluations to determine the eligibility of heritage resources for designation as city heritage landmarks. 5) Nominate heritage resources for designation as city heritage landmarks by the city council. 6) Review city permit applications in relation to city heritage landmarks and make recommendations to the city planner with respect to issuance of certificates of appropriateness. Page 4 City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 7) Review and make recommendations to the planning commission on development projects that affect properties designated heritage landmarks or determined eligible for designation as heritage landmarks. 8) Inform and educate citizens about the city's heritage and the benefits of preservation. 9) Develop regulatory and incentive programs that facilitate heritage preservation. 10) Adopt rules of procedure, subject to council approval, to guide the commission's deliberations. 11) Prepare an annual report to the council, describing the commission's accomplishments during the past year and presenting goals and objectives for the coming year. Relevant City Policies/Procedures Staff should re-train or clarify Commission Member responsibilities related to: Board and Commission Member Handbook Speaking as private individual vs. a representative of the City (Commission Member) Commission Member Code of Ethics and potential conflicts of interest B. Certificate of Appropriateness and Plans of Treatment Questions to Resolve: When should COA’s be required? Should COA requirements be expanded to be required for any City permit (i.e., mechanical), and not just a Building Permit. When should Plans of Treatment be required? When should they be voluntary? How should we clearly differentiate the two? Current Practice: COAs are required when the demolition and new construction of attached or detached garage; significant change to a street-facing façade (dormers, addition, significant change in size or shape of window); new home plans for homes that can be torn down (can be torn down if they were built outside of period of significance 1924-1944); or covered entry. The City has adopted the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties as the basis for the Commissions design review decisions. The preferred treatment for 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 of features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural value. 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. C. Enforcement Mechanisms and Concerns Questions to Resolve: In which areas does HPC view enforcement as ineffective? What are the actual vs. perceived barriers to enforcement? What are the proposed solutions and impact, including: Do definitions need to be consistent across City Code and Plan of Treatment, or are different definitions appropriate in different situations? Should there be a change to the definition of demolition? Should there/can there be a penalty for non-compliance? Should there be an escrow, how and when could it be used? Relevant City Policies/Procedures: The 2022 HPC Work Plan contains Initiative 7: “Review and comment on the City’s escrow fee policy.” Date: July 12, 2022 Agenda Item #: VI I.B.

July 12, 2022 Heritage Preservation Commission Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner Certificate of Appropriateness: 4707 Sunnyside Road-New Garage Door Information / Background: The subject property, 4707 Sunnyside Road is located on the south side of Sunnyside Road, west of Browndale Avenue. The existing home on the lot is a two-story residence with an attached garage that is classified as a “colonial” or “neo-colonial” style, built in 1943. The Certificate of Appropriateness request includes the change in the number of garage doors. The existing house has two separate street facing garage doors, and the applicant is proposing to change the two doors into one single garage door. Primary Issues: The request includes the conversion of two single street facing garage doors to one single street facing garage door. The objective of the Country Club Landmark District is preservation of the existing historic house facades and streetscapes. The city has adopted the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation when reviewing certificate of appropriateness applications. Staff believes the following standards of rehabilitation are pertinent to the review of the certificate of appropriateness: • New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historical materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. STAFF REPORT Page 2 • New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. Preservation Consultant Vogel reviewed the application and has written a memo that is attached in the heritage preservation commission packet. Staff Recommendation & Findings: Staff recommends approval of the certificate of appropriateness request for a single street facing garage door at 4707 Sunnyside Road as submitted by the applicant. Findings supporting the recommendation include: • The information provided supporting the subject Certificate of Appropriateness is consistent with the Country Club District Plan of Treatment. • The proposed Certificate of Appropriateness meets the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation. • The existing garage doors are not a character defining architectural feature of the house • The garage door changes will not substantially alter the historic character of the façade or streetscape. Conditions for approval: • All roofs, exterior walls, doors, and windows are required to be kept weather tight through the construction process. This is to protect the integrity of the structure. MEMORANDUM TO: Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner FROM: Robert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant DATE: July 5, 2022 SUBJECT: COA for 4707 Sunnyside Road I have reviewed the COA application for alteration of the existing garage doors at 4707 Sunnyside Road in the Country Club District. Built in 1943, the subject property was identified as an example of the Colonial style when the district was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1982; I would classify it as Neo-Colonial, a “mid-century modern” house form that was popular with suburban home builders between ca. 1935 and 1955. The subject property has been evaluated as not individually eligible for heritage landmark designation but is considered a contributing resource within the Country Club District. The applicant proposes to replace the two street-facing garage doors with a single overhead door. The oldest photographic documentation on file (which probably dates from the 1960s) shows the house with an attached, front-loading, two-car garage; each stall has its own overhead door. Even if the existing garage is not original construction, the two-door configuration is more than fifty years old and therefore may have acquired historic preservation value in its own right – presumably, this is why the staff has required a COA for this project. The district plan of treatment stipulates that a COA will be required for demolition/removal of “a front porch, side porch, vestibule, dormer, chimney, attached garage or porte-cochere”; however, does not mention doors, windows, or other small-scale architectural elements as features subject to design review. To the best of my knowledge, the city has never issued a COA for replacement of a garage door, regardless of its age, and I am unaware of anything in the architectural history literature that would suggest garage doors constitute an important architecture character defining feature of Neo-Colonial style houses. Contextually, overhead (“upward lifting”) garage doors are as old the as the Country Club District, although two-car garages were not particularly common until the post-World War II era. Home building catalogs from the 1940s show one- and two-car attached garages equipped with both single and double doors, but generally have very little to say about garage door design or aesthetic considerations. In my professional opinion, it would be difficult to make a case for treating garage doors as a distinguishing historic character defining feature of any mid-century modern house in the Country Club neighborhood. In conclusion, the existing garage doors are not an important character defining architectural feature of the house at 4707 Sunnyside; the proposed garage door changes will not substantially alter the historic character of the façade or the streetscape; and the design of the new garage door appears to be compatible with the house’s original design. Therefore, I recommend approval of the COA. Ed ina, Hennep in, MetroG IS, © WSB & Asso ciates 2013 4707 S unnyside R oadd July 5, 2 022 1 in = 40 f t / Date: July 12, 2022 Agenda Item #: VI I.C .

The existing garage is in disrepair, and the concrete floor is beyond repair. The garage is also too small for their family vehicle. They would like to move the new garage closer to the NW corner of the property to increase yard footage. The new garage will be stucco (matching the existing house) with brick mold around the window, a service door and wide casing backband around the overhead garage doors. The roof will be metal to simulate the terra cotta clay tiles of the house. The new garage will have greater storage capacity for a growing family and display refreshed curb appeal from the 50th street view. The new garage will be approximately 14.4 feet tall at the peak. The hip of the roof will mirror the hip roof of the house. As illustrated in the pictures below, the maximum height will fall well within the average height of other existing detached garages on the adjacent lots. This meets the Plan of Treatment requirements of a roof line within 10% of the average height of existing detached garages on adjacent lots or the average of the block. 4210 E. 34th St., Minneapolis, MN 55406 Ph: 612.655.4961 E-mail: info@hansonremodeling.com Web: HansonRemodeling.com Page | 2 Exhibit A: 4911 Bruce Ave. Approximate garage height: 15ft Exhibit B: 4908 Bruce Ave. Approximate garage height: 15ft Exhibit C: 4909 Bruce Ave. Approximate garage height: 13ft Exhibit D: 4906 Bruce Ave. Approximate garage height: 15ft 4210 E. 34th St., Minneapolis, MN 55406 Ph: 612.655.4961 E-mail: info@hansonremodeling.com Web: HansonRemodeling.com Page | 3 Exhibit E: 4907 Bruce Ave. Approximate garage height: 15ft Exhibit F: 4903 Bruce Ave. Approximate garage height: 20ft Exhibit G: 4902 Bruce Ave. Approximate garage height: 16ft Galloway Project Outline 6.23.22 Page 1 of 7 4210 E. 34th Street Minneapolis, MN 55406 License # BC633225 WALKTHROUGH Brennan & Jennifer Galloway 4914 Bruce Avenue Edina, MN 55424 Notice to Subcontractors: Thank you for taking the time to attend this walkthrough.

The existing home on the lot is a two-story residence built in 1928 and is classified as “Mediterranean” and “Italian Renaissance” styles. The Certificate of Appropriateness request includes the construction of a new detached garage. Primary Issues: The request includes the construction of a new detached garage which is why the proposed project requires a Certificate of Appropriateness. The project also requires a front yard setback variance for the construction of the garage. The subject property is a corner lot and has two required front yard setbacks. The required front yard setback is to match the property located to the west. The applicant intends to submit the variance request, so the request is heard at the July 27th Planning Commission Meeting. The objective of the Country Club Landmark District is preservation of the existing historic house facades and streetscapes. The city has adopted the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation when reviewing certificate of appropriateness applications. Staff believes the following standards of rehabilitation are pertinent to the review of the certificate of appropriateness: Distinctive features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historical materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old STAFF REPORT Page 2 and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. The garage is comparable to surrounding garage heights and meets the 18-foot height requirement of the zoning code. Preservation Consultant Vogel reviewed the application and has written a memo that is a ttached in the heritage preservation commission packet. Staff Recommendation & Findings: Staff recommends approval of the certificate of appropriateness request for a new detached garage and at 4914 Bruce Avenue as submitted by the applicant. Findings supporting the recommendation include: The information provided supporting the subject Certificate of Appropriateness is consistent with the Country Club District Plan of Treatment. The proposed Certificate of Appropriateness meets the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation. Conditions for approval: An as built date plaque should be installed on the exterior of the new garage. MEMORANDUM TO: Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner FROM: Robert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant DATE: June 29, 2022 SUBJECT: COA for 4914 Bruce Avenue I have reviewed the plans and supporting documents submitted in relation to the COA application for construction of a new detached garage at 4914 Bruce Avenue in the Country Club District. Built in 1928, the subject property was classified as an architectural hybrid combining elements of the “Mediterranean” and “Italian Rennaissance” styles when the district was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. These types of houses make up less than 10% of the historic resources in the Country Club District. The house has not been evaluated as individually eligible for heritage landmark designation but is considered a contributing resource within the Country Club District. Therefore, a Certificate of Appropriateness is required for construction of the new detached garage. The district plan of treatment includes design guidelines for garages based on the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation, which are intended to promote responsible preservation practices. Numerous COAs for construction of new detached garages have been approved by the HPC since the Country Club neighborhood was designated an Edina Heritage Landmark District in 2002. In my professional opinion, the proposed new construction meets applicable design standards and is consistent with the guidelines contained in the district plan of treatment. The existing accessory structure is not considered a heritage preservation resource in its own right; therefore, demolition is an appropriate undertaking, provided the replacement structure meets the district design guidelines. Based on the plans presented, the replacement garage will be subordinate to the historic house but at the same time compatible with its architectural character in terms of size, scale, building materials and architectural character. The design of the garage is also compatible with the architectural character of the neighborhood and its location on the northwest corner of the lot will help reduce its visual impact when viewed from the public right-of-way. It is my understanding that the large expanse of undecorated wall surface on the structure’s north elevation will be partially screened by an existing fence; therefore, no additional exterior detailing is recommended. I recommend approval of the COA with the usual conditions.

AT TAC HME N T S: Description Applicant Submittal Staff Report Consultant Vogel Memo Aerial Map Pope Residence, 4505 Drexel Avenue, Edina, MN 55424 June 13, 2022 Project Narrative The scope of work for this certificate is the construction of a new, detached garage, and the addition of a bracketed portico (overhang) above the front door. The home was built in 1930 and has had no additions. As there have been few improvements made to the home, the new owners intend to renovate the 1970s kitchen and convert the 92-year-old garage into a family room. This improvement—fundamental by current standards—will necessitate the construction of a new garage. The garage will be situated in the southeast corner of the property, adjacent to the neighboring garage. In adherence to Edina lot size codes, the size of the garage will be 20'x20' with an attached wing of 6'x10', for a total of 460 SF. It is designed to blend with the style of the home, with a north-south roof ridge orientation (like that of the house), and with stucco siding and roof shingles to match existing. The windows will be compatible with those on the house. The height of the garage will be 17.7', consistent with the height of the neighboring garage and most other garages in the neighborhood. The portico over the front door will echo the gothic arch design of the front windows and door. It will be constructed of wood, and painted to match the trim on the house. Approximately 3' in depth and 8'8" in width, it will span the stone surround, with the brackets in a natural placement on the outside of the stone. This overhang will provide much needed protection from weather elements, as well as an aesthetic improvement that will hew to the authentic design of the house. lune 14, 2022 To whom it may concern: We are the current owners of 4505 Drexel Ave., Edina, MN, 55424 ("the Property"). We have an agreement to sell the Property to buyers Leigh and Bretton Pope. Closing for the property sale will be on August 1, 2022.

B Pa, DATE DATE BY DWN REV DESIGNED FOR POPE July 12, 2022 Heritage Preservation Commission Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner Certificate of Appropriateness: 4505 Drexel Avenue-New Detached Garage and Front Door Overhang Information / Background: The subject property, 4505 Drexel Avenue is located on the east side of Drexel Avenue, south of Sunnyside Road and north of Bridge Street. The original house is a two-story home that was built in 1930 with an attached garage and is classified as a Tudor Revival Style. The Certificate of Appropriateness request includes the construction of a new detached garage. The project also includes the construction of a front door overhang. Primary Issues: The request includes the construction of a new detached garage which is why the proposed project requires a Certificate of Appropriateness. The objective of the Country Club Landmark District is preservation of the existing historic house facades and streetscapes. The city has adopted the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation when reviewing certificate of appropriateness applications. Staff believes the following standards of rehabilitation are pertinent to the review of the certificate of appropriateness: Distinctive features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historical materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. STAFF REPORT Page 2 New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. The garage on the property to the north of the subject property is an attached garage. The garage on the property to the south, 4507 Drexel is approximately 16.9 feet in height. The proposed garage does not have undecorated walls longer than 16 feet. Preservation Consultant Vogel reviewed the application and has written a memo that is attached in the heritage preservation commission packet. Staff Recommendation & Findings: Staff recommends approval of the certificate of appropriateness request for a new detached garage and front door overhang at 4505 Drexel Avenue as submitted by the applicant. Findings supporting the recommendation include: The information provided supporting the subject Certificate of Appropriateness is consistent with the Country Club District Plan of Treatment. The proposed Certificate of Appropriateness meets the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation. Conditions for approval: An as built date plaque should be installed on the exterior of the new garage. All roofs, exterior walls, doors, and windows are required to be kept weather tight through the construction process. This is to protect the integrity of the structure. MEMORANDUM TO: Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner FROM: Robert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant DATE: June 29, 2022 SUBJECT: COA for 4505 Drexel Avenue I have reviewed the plans and supporting documents submitted in relation to the COA application for construction of a new detached garage and the addition of a “bracketed portico” above the front entry of the house at 4505 Drexel Avenue in the Country Club District. The applicant proposes to convert the existing attached garage to living space. Built in 1930, the subject property is classified as an example of the Tudor Revival style. It is not individually eligible for landmark designation but is considered a contributing heritage preservation resource within the Country Club District. Therefore, a Certificate of Appropriateness is required for construction of the new detached garage. The district plan of treatment includes design guidelines for garages based on the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation. Homes with attached garages are common within the district boundaries (roughly one-third of the homes built between 1924 and 1944 had attached garages). The conversion of attached garages to living space, necessitating construction of new detached accessory structures, has also become a frequent occurrence. Historically, the city has not discouraged this practice. Numerous projects similar to the one proposed for 4505 Drexel have been certified as appropriate by the HPC since the current preservation ordinance was adopted in 2002. In my professional opinion, the plans for the new garage are consistent with the goals of the Country Club District plan of treatment and the standards for rehabilitation. The new construction matches the architectural character of the house and is compatible with surrounding properties. No historic features or materials will be destroyed and the essential historic character defining features of the house will not be substantially altered. Therefore, I recommend approval of the COA (with the usual conditions for new construction projects). Regarding the proposed portico or overhang above the front door, the district plan of treatment does not address these kinds of minor façade alterations—a COA is only required for demolition of specific architectural features (porches, vestibules, dormers, chimneys, attached garages ). In my professional opinion, the new entry is well designed and meets applicable standards for rehabilitation. No historically important architectural details will be destroyed or obscured by the proposed work and the changes to the façade will be minimal. From a streetscape perspective, the new work will be compatible with the house’s original design and with surrounding properties in terms of architectural style and materials. (Contextually, historic homes in the Country Club District which have been classified as “Tudor” often incorporate design elements borrowed from other popular period revival styles—therefore, the arched portico is not out of place in a neighborhood where the majority of the houses are architectural hybrids.)

AT TAC HME N T S: Description Applicant Submittal Staff Report Consultant Vogel Memo Aerial Map Date: June 28, 2022 To: Emily Bodeker – City of Edina From: Scott Busyn Subject: 4633 Arden Avenue Amendment to COA: Material Selection and Adding Window Hi Emily, During the process of preparing the home for renovation, we realized that the existing brick was deteriorated and that there was an insufficient weather barrier to maintain a drainage plane behind the existing brick. The one layer of building paper was crumbling and brittle. The paper had insufficient coverage as it was not lapped properly in a waterfall fashion (reverse lapped in several areas). The paper was not nailed sufficiently and had nail holes. There was also no flashing over the windows. We are planning to install a code-complaint weather barrier and replace the brick with a similar tumbled brick look called Tundrabrick. We have photographic documentation of the original brick details on the home for the mason to match with the new product. We would also like to add a small window to the street facing façade to bring light into a kids playroom on the second floor: Approved COA Elevation: Existing Home Existing Weather Barrier Photos Proposed Material Tundrabrick with mortar Tundrabrick on similar home July 12, 2022 Heritage Preservation Commission Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner Amendment to COA H-21-6, 4633 Arden Avenue-building materials and the addition of a window Information / Background: The subject property, 4633 Arden Avenue is located on the east side of Arden Avenue, just north of the intersection of Arden Avenue and 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. A certificate of appropriateness was approved on April 13, 2022 for the construction of a detached garage and a second floor addition that is visible from the street facing façade, changes to an existing dormer and changes to the entryway.

The request includes the approval of building materials and the addition of a second-floor window as shown on the updated proposed elevations. Primary Issues: The request is for the HPC to approve the replacement brick material and approve the placement of a new second story window. The applicant removed the brick from the house without notifying or getting approvals from city staff. The commission is asked to review the proposed material.

The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. Distinctive features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historical materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. Preservation Consultant Vogel reviewed the application and has written a memo that is attached in the heritage preservation commission packet. Staff Recommendation & Findings: A case could be made for approval or denial of the proposed replacement brick material. Below provides options for the heritage preservation commission to consider: Approval (brick and window) Approve the amendment to COA H-21-6 allowing the use of Tundrabrick and approval of the addition of a second-floor window. Approval is based on the following findings: 1. The proposed brick material meets the intent of the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation and the Country Club Plan of Treatment. 2. Tundrabrick is appropriate for rehabilitation projects in the country club district. 3. The Tundrabrick material would match the original brick material in size, composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. 4. The visual impact of the proposed window is minimal and compatible with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and the Country Club Plan of Treatment. STAFF REPORT Page 3 Denial for Brick (approval for window) Deny the proposed replacement brick material and approve the addition of a second-floor window: 1. The existing brick was a distinguishing feature of the home. Tundabrick does not match the features of the original brick in size, composition, design, color, texture or other visual qualities. 2. The visual impact of the proposed window is minimal and compatible with the house’s original design. 3. The addition of the window meets the intent of the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and the Country Club Plan of Treatment. MEMORANDUM TO: Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner FROM: Robert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant DATE: June 30, 2022 SUBJECT: COA amendment for 4633 Arden Avenue I have reviewed the request to amend the COA issued in 2021 construction of a new detached garage and exterior alterations at 4633 Arden Avenue in the Country Club District. The masonry conservation issues described by the applicant are commonly found in mid-century modern houses. The Secretary of the Interior’s standards for rehabilitation (which are the required basis for all COA decisions) recommend repair rather than replacement of deteriorated brick “whenever possible”; the guidelines for applying the standards also recommend compliance with current building safety codes in such a manner that the essential character of a building is preserved intact. If the city’s building official determines that the deteriorated brick wall cladding at 4633 Arden cannot be repaired, replacement would be appropriate and the COA should be amended, with the following condition: that the new brick and mortar must match the old masonry in size (face height & length), composition, design, color, texture and other visual qualities. It is unlikely that the original face brick is still being manufactured. (The applicant should provide the HPC with samples of the existing brick as well as the Tundrabrick product referenced in Mr. Busyn’s letter in order to demonstrate the match.) With respect to the proposed addition of a small window in the front-facing gable wall, the visual impact of the change should be minimal and in my opinion compatible with the house’s original design. No historically important architectural details will be destroyed or obscured.
