A. COA: H-25-3, 4406 Sunnyside Road-Changes to Street Facing Facade
Liaison Dalrymple stated that the property is located on the north side of Sunnyside Road. The existing
home on the lot is a two-story home that was built in 1926. The house was previously noted as being a
Tutor Revival-Style home. The house has been significantly remodeled and is now an example of the
Neo-Craftsman-Style or Neo-Victorian-Style. It is a non-contributing resource in the district. The
applicant is requesting a Certificate of Appropriateness for changes to the street facing façade. The
proposed changes include removing and reducing the roof overhang, gable returns, and removing arched
windows with replacements of rectangular windows.

Approved Date: X/XX/24
Liaison Dalrymple stated that Hess Roise have reviewed the application and provided a memo. The
recommendation is to approve the changes to the façade of the home. Any change to the current plan
would need to be submitted for review.
Additional discussion ensued.
Motion made by Commissioner Jarvinen, seconded by Commissioner Breiter, to approve COA: H-25-3,
4406 Sunnyside Road-Changes to Street Facing Facades submitted. All voted aye. The motion carried.
B. COA: H-25-4, 4516 Wooddale Avenue-Changes to Street Facing Facade
Liaison Dalrymple stated that the property is located on the west side of Wooddale Avenue. The existing
home on the lot is a two-story Garrison Revival that was built in 1931. The Certificate of
Appropriateness is for changes to the street facing façade. The homeowners applied for a COA for a
covered entry in July of 2024. In November of 2024, Staff was notified that the project under
construction did not match the approved COA. The homeowners were notified that the project needed
to cease and either a new COA would need to be applied for, or the project needed to match the
approved COA.
Liaison Dalrymple stated that Hess Roise has reviewed the application and provided a memo. Liaison
Dalrymple stated that the recommendation is to deny the COA. The denial is based on the fact that the
new design of the covered entry places the line of the eave below the horizontal line created by the
projecting second story overhang, which is a defining feature in the Garrison Revival style. The design
does not meet the Guidelines B and I in the Country Club Plan of Treatment.
Additional discussion ensued.
Many references were made to images that were being shared.
The discussion shifted to the re-created (due to rot) sunburst.
Additional discussion ensued.
Motion made by Commissioner Olson, seconded by Commissioner Farrell-Strauss, to approve COA: H-
25-4, 4516 Wooddale Avenue-Changes to Street Facing Façade as submitted. 4 ayes, 1 abstention
(Cundy). The motion carried.
C. COA: H-25-2, 4617 Casco Avenue-New Detached Garage
Liaison Dalrymple stated that the home is located on the east side of Casco. The existing house on the
lot is a two-story Tudor Revival style house that was built in 1930. The Certificate of Appropriateness is
for the removal of the existing detached garage and the rebuilding of a new detached garage. The existing
detached garage was built in the late 1960’s, which is after the period of significance for the district. The

proposed garage will be located in the same position with the same footprint as the existing garage. The
existing garage is 14 feet tall. The proposed garage will be 18 feet tall, which makes it Code compliant.
Liaison Dalrymple stated that Hess Roise has reviewed the COA and provided a memo. The
recommendation is to approve the proposed COA. Any change to the COA would need to be
resubmitted for review. An “As Built Plaque” should be installed on the exterior of the garage.
Commissioner Everson joined the meeting at 8:02.
Additional discussion ensued regarding the location of the garage.
There was consensus that circular windows would be more appealing than the rectangular windows and
to match the fascia as closely as possible.
Motion made by Commissioner Jarvinen, seconded by Commissioner Pope, to approve COA: H-25-2,
4617 Casco Avenue-New Detached Garage with noted modifications. All voted aye. The motion carried.

Meeting: Heritage Preservation Commission
Agenda Number: 6.1
Prepared By: Emily Dalrymple, Assistant City Planner
Item Type: Report & Recommendation Department: Community Development
Item Title: COA: 4519 Drexel Avenue, Changes to Street Facing Facade and Removal of
Existing Detached Garage
Action Requested:The recommendation is to approve the COA for the proposed changes to the
street facing façade and the demolition of the existing detached garage at 4519 Drexel Avenue. The
recommendation for approval is based on the following:
• The proposed changes will modify non-historic material and not further destroy historic
material.
• The new hipped roof and door surround will not destroy historic materials, features or
spatial relationships of the house.
• The garage is a secondary structure and is not a distinctive feature of the property.
• The proposed changes meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards of Rehabilitation and
the Country Club Plan of Treatment.
Information/Background:
The subject property, 4519 Drexel Avenue is located on the east side of Drexel Avenue, north of
Bridge Street, south of Sunnyside Road. The existing home on the lot is a two-story colonial revival
home built in 1926.
The applicant is requesting a certificate of appropriateness for changes to the street facing façade and

Project Narrative
The scope of work for this project is the removal of an existing detached garage and
shed, and the construction of a 2 -story addition with an attached garage.
The front façade remains substantially unchanged. The windows will be replaced with
the same size and style as the original windows. The existing front entry with the flat
roof was evidently an addition to the original structure in the 1940’s. The change from
the flat roof over the entry with the hip style is more consistent with the original
architectural style.
The proposed attached 2-car garage is in the same location as the existing detached
garage, which has suffered fire damage in the past and needs to be replaced. The new
garage will have a similar street presence. The two-story addition begins at the rear of
the existing house, and extends towards the rear of the property with very little impact to
the street view. The roof style and pitch, windows, building proportions and finish
materials are an extension of the original home design.
The Project as proposed meets the applicable City Zoning Ordinances. Every effort has
been made to ensure that the street view has not been significantly altered, and that the
addition will not only be historically compatible with the existing home but an
enhancement to the neighborhood.

MEMO
Date: 03/05/2025
To: Emily Dalrymple, City of Edina
From: Elizabeth Gales and Rachel Peterson, Hess, Roise and Company
Re: Certificate of Appropriateness Review – 4519 Drexel Avenue
Hess Roise has reviewed the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application for 4519 Drexel
Avenue in the Country Club Historic District using “Edina’s Historic Country Club District Plan
of Treatment.”
House
The house has elements of the Colonial Revival style and is a contributing resource to the
historic district. Character-defining features of 4519 Drexel Avenue include:
• Two-story building with hipped roof.
• Multi-pane, double-hung sash windows with decorative shutters. Wider decorative
molding surrounding the windows.
The city’s file for the property notes that in 1949 the one-story, flat-roofed entrance vestibule
was constructed on the south facade. The period of significance for the historic district ends in
1944. Since the entrance vestibule was built after the period of significance, it is not historic.
Proposed Work
City of Edina staff have instructed Hess Roise that the following items require review under the
COA application. No other work is to be reviewed by the Heritage Preservation Commission:
• Modifications to the non-historic entry vestibule.
• Removal of the existing detached garage.
The flat roof of the non-historic entry vestibule will be replaced with a hipped roof, which is
inspired by the house’s roof. The cornice and pilasters of the door surround at the main entrance
will be removed and a new simpler door surround with a segmental-arched transom window
above the door will be installed.
A free-standing, hipped-roof garage is located at the rear of the property. The city’s file for the
property does not note construction of the garage. The building appears in the earliest available
aerial photograph from 1957. It is possible that the garage may have been constructed during the
period of significance. In the COA submittal, the applicant notes that the garage suffered fire
damage sometime in the past and should be replaced.
The Plan of Treatment includes ten guidelines. The following are considered the most relevant
to the proposed work.
Page 17 of 32
Page 2
B. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive
materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property
will be avoided.
I. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic
materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work 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.
J. New additions and adjacent new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if
removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its
environment will be unimpaired.
Recommendation
The proposed changes to the non-historic entrance vestibule meet guidelines B, I, and J. The
vestibule is not historic and no historic material will be damaged by the modifications. The new
hipped roof and door surround will not destroy the historic materials, features, or spatial
relationship of the house. The hipped roof could be removed in the future, and while repairs
might be needed to the south wall of the house, its essential form and integrity would not be
impaired.
The garage is a secondary structure and is not considered a distinctive feature of the property.
Changes to the garage, including removal, would not affect the house’s contributing status to the
historic district.
Hess Roise recommends approval of the changes to the non-historic entrance vestibule and
demolition of the existing garage. Per direction from the city, no evaluation or recommendations
are included for any other work on the property.
