STAFF PRESENT:
I. COUNTRY CLUB TOUR
Joyce Repya, Associate Planner
The Country Club Tour had been in the planing stages about four
years ago, however, due to the staff changes, had never been
completed. The tour is designed for the pedestrian, but due to a
time element and the rainy conditions, members boarded the senior
van and drove to the first of twenty-four residences which are
highlighted on the tour.
The homes included in the tour are on Browndale Avenue, Moorland
Avenue, Edina Boulevard, and Wooddale Avenue, and were chosen for
their architectural significance. The eight model homes which were
built between 1926-1930 to market the district are among those
homes.
Upon completion of the tour the Board continued through the
district to view homes which have come before the Board in the
past. This allowed newer members of the Board an opportunity to
get a feel for the past Board activities. (They also viewed some
changes which took place that some felt should have come before the
Board for review, but didn't - sorry no details, I was driving the
bus) .
The Board returned to City Hall where they generally discussed the
tour, agreeing that it was a worth while exercise which should be
made available to the public.
Chairman Nyberg pointed out that the tour would be a great tool in
the Board's efforts to educate the public about the rich
architectural heritage that exists in the Country Club District.
No formal action was taken at this meeting.
