minutes no action taken.
II. WOODDALE SCHOOL:
Foster Dunwiddie reported that on July 13, 1985 there
will be a farewell and Edinamite Ball at the school and the
current plans are to auction off parts of the building to
the public. More sensitive items are to be salvaged as a
part of the demolition specifications and put in storage for
the Edina Historical Society. The demolition will take
place July 21, 1985. The Historical Society has prepared
two drawings of the school including an overall view and a
detail of the front entry. Mr. Dunwiddie said that they
will remove the plaque with the date and try to preserve the
twisted columns around the entrance, a typical classroom
door and a pair of doors to the auditorium. Several tree
around the site were planted by students and the contractor
will box and protect them during demolition and park
construction. Mr. Dunwiddie suggested getting some
photographs of the sides,of,the 4uilding that never show up
in the normal views.
III. PLAN REVIEW:
Proposed Addition 4617 Moorland Avenue (B-85-6)
Mr. Steve Sather of Patio Village Inc. was present with
revised plans for the addition at 4617 Moorland Avenue. At
the last meeting preliminary plans were presented and Tom
Martinson agreed to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Paulu s and Mr.
Sather to help prepare plans. He made some sketches of
different possibilities. The front elevation has a porch
with some lancet shaped openings that can be repeated on the
addition. There are three alternatives for the windows, a
6/6 lite with nothing below, a 6/6 lite going all the way to
the bottom or have a panel below to keep the rhythm going.
The submitted drawing has glossed a few things. Mr.
Martinson suggested that they enlarge the plans to double
size and draw details to illustrate the inset areas for the
windows. There should be a consistency on how each opening
is done. Mr. Dunwiddie said the addition should be treated
like the open porch on the front. There are many of French
doors in the Country Club District. It looks like the wall
is too full; the wall could be lengthened or the openings
narrowed.
8:00 Mr. Gepner arrives.
After further discussion, Mr. Martinson proposed the he
keep working with Mr. Sather toward a solution. Mr. Sather
agreed.
Mr. Martinson moved to approve the design in concept
subject to refinement of the plans with Mr. Martinson acting
as a consultant. Seconded by Mr. Stuart. All voted aye.
Motion carried.
