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.

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. IV.
