II. COUNTRY CLUB DISTRICT INFORMATION BROCHURE:
Chairman Nyberg opened the discussion of the Country Club brochure
by reminding the Board that at the September meeting they had
talked about creating two brochures; one for contractor/ architects,
and a separate one for the Country Club residents. Upon
reflection, the information proposed for two brochures would be so
similar that it would be much more practical to develop one
brochure meeting the needs of anyone interested in the Country Club
District. Following a brief discussion, Board members agreed that
a single brochure would best meet everyones needs.
Discussing the content of the brochure, Marilyn Curtis pointed out
the importance of explaining the significance of the National
Register designation and how the district designation affects the
individuals property.
Chairman Nyberg agreed, but added that the text should be inviting,
short and stay away from a drawn out, wordy dissertation. He' added
that the Country Club driving tour could easily complement the
brochure.
Discussion ensued relative to the specific content of the brochure.
David Gepner stated that the brochure should stress the uniqueness
of the neighborhood, and hopefully develop an affinity for the
homeowners.
Board members agreed with Mr. Gepner after which they defined the
following goals they hoped to achieve through the brochure:
1. Establish place
- First planned community in Minneapolis - use 1926.map.
2. Intentions of the Developer
- Relationship of Country Club to home ownership.
- Close to streetcar line, but catered to the automobile.
- Planning/Architectural significance.
3. Describe Historical significance
- National Register designation is district wide recognizing
a planned mixture of historic architectural styles.
4. Message - "Maintain the integrity of the Country Club District
with compatible changes."
5. Invitation
- Residents are welcome to come to Heritage Preservation Board
with concerns, questions and comments.
- Encourage residents to look into the history of their homes
via:
* Historic walking tour of the Country Club
* Historic building survey
* History and Architecture of Edina MN
The Board then came to the conclusion that Marilyn Curtis would
write the text, Lois Wilder would edit and Gary Nyberg would be
responsible for -key lining.
