MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING
EDINA HERITAGE PRESERVATION BOARD
HELD TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1982 AT 7:30 P.M.
EDINA CITY HALL MANAGER'S CONFERENCE ROOM
MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Foster Dunwiddie, Tom Martinson, Gary Nyberg,
and Gordon Stuart
STAFF PRESENT: Harold Sand
1. Approval of the Minutes:
Gary Nyberg moved to defer action on the April 27, 1982 minutes.
Gordon Stuart seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried.
11. Old St. Patricks Church. 7000 Cahill Road
Harold Sand recalled that the Board recommended the zoning of the Old
St. Patrick's Church HPD at the April 27th meeting. This recommendation was
placed on the agenda for June 2, 1982 Community Development and Plannning
Commission. However, the Commission declined to hear the case, because the
owner submitted a preliminary rezoning request for PRD 3, Planned Residential
District. The Commission wanted to hear both matters at the same time and
consider the Board's recommendation on the PRD zoning.
Mr. Marsh Everson, owner of the property, introduced Mr. John Klick,
an architect with the Architecural Group. Mr. Klick presented plans of the proposed
22 unit 2 story condominium with under building parking. The structure was
designed to reflect the form and exterior materials of the former church. The
proposed "L" shaped dwelling is located west of the former church to preserve
views around approximately a 2700 radius. The old church is labeled as an
accessory amenity building easily adaptable for a number of uses. The exact
use has not been programmed at this preliminary stage. A swimming pool maybe
programmed depending on the market analysis. Mr. Klick said that these are
preliminary plans and they do not have a specific time framework for completion
of the zoning or construction of the project.
Mr. Martinson said that he realized that these were preliminary plans,
however, he wished to express a concern about the design. The architect
should be careful in the detailing of the exterior materials to avoid the "thin"
artificial appearance of many modern buildings with stucco and wood half -timbers.
He suggested that they use the old church or some of the dwellings in the
Country Club District as examples.
After a general discussion, Mr. Martinson moved that the Board approve
the preliminary development plans, recognizing that the plans were reviewed
within the broad development concept. The Board further supports the concept
of a land use density bonus for preserving the former church and an additional
bonus for construction of a new structure that is architecturally compatible
with the church. The Board requests an opportunity to review the final
development plans for the PRD zoning. The HPD zoning is pursued in a normal
time framework and not tied to the PRD zoning. The proposed plans represent
100 percent development and additional structures are not premitted if the old
church is removed or destroyed. Gordon Stuart seconded the motion. All
voted aye. Motion carried.

can be issued after the Council Meeting.

A. The Minnesota Society of Landscape Architects requested suggestions
for a state inventory of outstanding outdoor spaces created by the hand of man.

and offered to write a letter to the MSLA. The Board generally agreed.

District: The Forerunner to Modern Suburbanization in Minneapolis" by Karla
Busdicker, 4512 Wooddale Ave. S. .The report was prepared for a class in the
History Department at the University of Minnesota. The Board acknowledged
