Absent were Commissioners Schilling and Jarvinen, and student member Varadhan. Staff present: HPC Staff Liaison Emily Dalrymple and Consultants Rachel Peterson and Elizabeth Gales. III. Approval of Meeting Agenda Motion made by Nickels, seconded by Hassenstab, to approve the meeting agenda as submitted. All voted aye. The motion carried. IV. Approval of Meeting Minutes Motion made by Cundy, seconded Nickels, to approve the October 10, 2023, meeting minutes. All voted aye. The motion carried. V. Community Comment: Bob Moore, former Commissioner, stated that he read about the “100 Year Home Program” and asked where the Heritage Preservation Commission is getting the dates as some are inaccurate. It was noted the dates are derived from the assessor’s office. Moore presented the Commission with the 1930 ariel of the country club along with the 1930 directory. VI. Reports/Recommendations A. H-24-1; 4509 Wooddale Avenue-New Garage Liaison Bodeker stated that the above referenced property is a two-story Garrison Revival home built in 1928. The homeowners are requesting a new, detached, three-car garage in the same general location as the existing garage. The proposed style and materials match the house. Staff recommends approval, conditioned upon the installation of an “as built” plaque on the exterior of the garage, and that any proposed changes would need to be submitted for review. Draft Minutes☒ Approved Minutes☐ Approved Date: X/XX/24 The commission discussed the request and asked questions of staff. Motion made by Cundy, seconded by Hassenstab, to approve H-24-1: 4509 Wooddale Avenue- New Garage COA as submitted and conditioned upon an “as built” plaque installed on the exterior of the garage, and any proposed changes would need to be submitted for review. All voted aye. VII. Chair and Member Comments: Commissioner Everson commented on the windows in the previously approved COA and asked if it would be appropriate to give recommendations in the future. Liaison Dalrymple stated that recommendations are difficult with a COA, but that is better suited for the ordinance update. Commissioner Farrell-Strauss asked why the date plaque is required. The answer is to note that the garage is not original. VIII. Staff Comments: A. 2024 Work Plan Liaison Bodeker stated that she provided a link to the 2024 Work Plan, which was approved by City Council without any changes. The Century Home Program is live as of January 2, 2024. The commission and staff reviewed next steps with community outreach to eligible homeowners via written letter. The commission discussed additional outlets including the Edina Magazine, a press release, real estate groups, the Rotary Club, Advantage Sign, and neighborhood organizations. Additional discussion ensued regarding the assessor’s information for dating homes. A suggestion was made to place a small sign in the front yard of newly recognized Century Homes to spark interest within the community. It was noted the commission is working on Code language changes to enhance preservation so there is optimism that will occur. The Preservation Award will be in May so perhaps an upcoming agenda could include an overview of past Preservation Award winners in order to inform potential future winners. It was noted there are three vacant seats on the Heritage Preservation Commission and applications close on January 21, 2024. IX. Adjournment Motion made by Hassenstab, seconded by Cundy, to adjourn the meeting at 7:37 pm. All voted aye. The motion carried.

The uniqueness of the individual structures was discussed. There was consensus to steer clear of private residences. B. Century Homes Program Update There has been a lot of great publicity. Edina Magazine will feature the program in April, and Rios (a statewide preservation organization) is going to run an article about it too. There are already two applicants along with two more who are interested. A presentation was given so the Commissioners can be educated ambassadors for the program. Feedback was given regarding the presentation. There was discussion regarding the cost ($300) of the bronze plaque that the applicant must purchase. VIII. Staff Comments: A.

AT TAC HME N T S: Description Applicant Submittal Staff Report Consultant Memo Original Approved Garage Elevation Scott Busyn Great Neighborhood Homes, Inc. 3939 West 50th Street, Suite 103A Edina, MN 55424 February 6, 2024 Heritage Preservation Commission c/o Emily Bodeker – Assistant City Planner City of Edina 4801 West 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 Subject: COA Amendment for Changes to New Garage at 4633 Arden Avenue Our clients have requested to make some changes to the new detached garage that is proposed for 4633 Arden Avenue that was approved by the HPC on 4.13.21. Here is the garage design that was approved: Here are the changes being requested by the homeowners (Wayne and Kathy Volland): Change #1: Eliminate stairway bump out and window on South/Rear elevation Change #2: Eliminate window on East/Left elevation. Change #3: Add windows to garage door on North/Front elevation. Change #4: Add service door to West/Right elevation/ Change #5: Change exterior cladding from brick to siding (match house) on North and South elevations (new garage will be all lap siding to match house). The homeowner would like to make these changes due to goal of increasing security (eliminating East window and adding service door), and a preference for a cleaner look. Fitting with the Plan of Treatment, the new work (detached garage) 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. There was not originally a detached garage on the property. The new garage will be differentiated from the old, will be compatible with the property (same siding, window grids, proper scale, height limited to within 10% of adjacent detached garages (18’). Eliminating the south elevation bump out makes the garage more compatible with the neighborhood. Similar new garages were approved by the HPC at: 4506 Sunnyside: The Plan of Treatment states: “Undecorated exterior walls longer than 16 feet should be avoided on elevations visible from the street or adjacent properties.” The new garage has windows/doors on the north/front, and west/right elevations. The east/left elevation is not visible from the home the east (and there is a 6’ fence). The south/rear elevation is blocked from view by the home to the south’s detached garage as well as trees. Here is an overhead view of these conditions: Please approve this COA amendment. Thank you for your consideration.

Page 1 MEMO Date: 03/07/2024 To: Emily Dalrymple, City of Edina From: Elizabeth Gales and Rachel Peterson, Hess, Roise and Company Re: Certificate of Appropriateness Review for New Garage – 4633 Arden Avenue Hess Roise has reviewed the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application for a new detached garage at 4633 Arden Avenue in the Country Club Historic District using “Edina’s Historic Country Club District Plan of Treatment.” It is noted that the applicant submitted a COA in April 2021 that proposed a new garage. This memo addresses only the current COA application. Garage The proposed garage will be located at the southeast corner of the property parcel, which at the rear of the lot. The garage will be accessed by a concrete driveway extending from Arden Avenue along the northside of the house. A driveway has been located in this area previously. A new concrete apron at northeast corner of the lot will provide space for vehicles to access the proposed garage. The COA includes the following information on the proposed garage: • The garage will be a frame structure measuring 21′-8″ by 22′-3″ and will sit on a 6″-thick slab on grade with thickened edges. Gravel or crushed stone will be under the slab. • The garage will be clad in lap siding, which will match the material cladding the secondary facades of the house. • All windows will be from the Marvin Elevate Collection. • The peak of the roof will be 18′ above grade, and the proposed roofing material is not noted in the application. • On the north facade (“front elevation”), a large paneled garage door will extend the full- width of the building, and a six-light window will be located in the peak of the gable. • On the first-story of the west facade, a single person door will be at the north end next to a projecting bay holding four, six-light windows. The shed-roof dormer on the roof will also have two, six-light windows and will provide natural light for a storage area above the garage. • The east (“left elevation”) and south (“rear elevation”) will not have any openings or decorative features. Page 2 For Garages, the Plan of Treatment states: “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.” Recommendation The design for the proposed garage complies with some of the guidance in the Plan of Treatment, but does not comply with two of the guidelines. Compliant The style of the garage is inspired by the architectural character of the house. The garage will be subordinate to the house in size, will be located at the rear of the lot, and will have minimal visual and physical impact on the streetscape. Not Compliant Two of the facades that measure over 16′ in length will lack decorative or architectural features. The applicant has noted that the east facade will overlook a 6′ fence and the detached garage of property to the east (4900 Maple Road), which is outside the boundaries of the historic district. The south facade will have a large visible area that will overlook the yard and garage of the property to the south (4637 Arden Avenue). The peak of the roof is 18′ and with 6′-tall fences, There is potential for the south facade to be visible to the adjacent property. Without a decorative or architectural feature, the south facade will not comply with the Plan of Treatment. The plans for the garage do not note if a plaque or inscription will be placed on an exterior surface denoting the year of construction. This detail does not comply with the Plan of Treatment. Hess Roise recommends the HPC approve the COA application for the new garage if modifications are made to the proposed design to bring it into compliance with the Plan of Treatment. The new detached garage will be 18’ high measured from average existing grade. Date: Marc h 12, 2024 Agenda Item #: VI I I.A.
