EDINA CITY HALL CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: FosterDunwiddie Chairman, Betty Paugh, Tom Martinson STAFF PRESENT: Harold Sand 1. Approval of Minutes: September 23, 1980 Mr. Martinson remarked that the new type style improved the legibility and appearance of the Minutes.

Country Club Survey, Report by Lynn Spaeth: Ms. Spaeth presented a color keyed plat of the Country Club illustrating the dates of construction of dwellings. The categories were 1924-26, 1927-30, 1931-35, 1936-40 and post 1941. She checked the construction dates with the Assessing Department --records, the Register of Titles at the Hennepin County 12'overnment CeWer and with the Sanborn Insurance Maps. She a!sc presented a list of the number of dwellings constructed each year and the number of dwel- lings constructed by style designation and by year. Ms. Spaeth.reported that there is no National Standard Classification System for Historic Rivival Styles and that previous studies tend to vary according to regional differences. The style designations she used were dev- eloped from literature and classifications used during the developemeht of the disirict. Ms. Spaeth said that she has contacted Linda McClelland with the Nat- ional Register in Washington to discuss the requirements for nomination and any questions they may have about the district. The Staff in Washington is not well versed in the Country club movement but there are two districts within the Kansas City Country Club District that are on the National Register. She said that the officials in Washington thought the entire district would be eliggible because the planning and land use controls were conceived and imple- mented at one time, the area was developed in a random pattern rather than an incremental pattern and because a majority of the dwellings were constructed before the 50 year minimum age criteria. In response to Mr. Sand, Ms. Spaeth explained that individual structures within the district will be designated pivotal, complementary and intrusions. The intrusions are the 5 contemporary dwellings. The pivotal structures will include the pre -1931 dwellings, the model homes, very good examples of various styles and Wooddale School. All other structures will be classified complementary.

Mr. Martinson said that it was interesting to note that there are a number of important people that lived in the district. Ms. Spaeth indicated this is another fact that could be included in the report. Ms. Spaeth said that the report is essentially complete, however she is waiting for delivery of copies of the (100+) 5 x 7 inch photographs that will be submitted to the National Register. Copies of the report and other materials will be delivered on November 7, 1980. Mr. Sand commented that a neighborhood meeting is scheduled November 20, 1980, at 8:00 p.m, in the City Council Chambers. A mailed notice of the hearing will be sent November 6 or 7.
