Joyce Repya advised the Board that Mr. Cy Stuppy who has
served on the Board since 1985 has advised Mayor Richards that he
will no longer be able to serve.
Board members agreed that Mr. Stuppy will be missed and
suggested that we continue to send copies of the minutes and
reports to him. Ms. Repya said she would be happy to continue
mailing information to Mr. Stuppy.
Ms. Repya explained to the Board that Mr. Stuppy's resignation
does create a vacancy on the Board. She asked that if the members
knew of anyone qualified who would be interested in serving on the
Board, their names should be submitted to either Ms. Repya or Mayor
Richards. Mayor Richards will be making a new appointment soon.
IV. COUNTRY CLUB BROCHURE:
Board members, having reviewed the completed Country Club
brochure, unanimously agreed that it was a quality piece of work;
not only does it educate the homeowners as to the significance of
1
the district, but it also encourages their participation in
maintaining the National Register of Historic Places status.
The Board then made changes and corrections to a cover letter
signed by Chairman Gary Nyberg that will be sent out to the Country
Club residents along with the brochure. The purpose of the letter
is to introduce the brochure, thank the participating sponsors from
Edina Reality, and to thank the residents for reading the brochure.
Ms. Repya advised the Board that the mailing labels and
envelopes should be available for a Friday, January 31, 1992,
mailing of the brochure. No formal action was taken.
V. OTHER BUSINESS:
A. Permit for modifications to HPD zoned properties.
Board members reviewed a sample permit application Ms. Repya
had created. The application consisted of three main parts:
1. Property Information
2. Modification Information
3. Approval/Denial Details
All members agreed that the application should specify that
the permit is required for exterior modifications to the structures
only. Ms. Repya agreed to perfect the mock-up and present the
application to the Board at the next meeting.
B. Announcements
1. 14th Annual Awards Reception -Chairman Nyberg stated that
he had received a request for nominations to the 14th
annual awards reception. The Board discussed the
categories for recognition and determined that they did
not have a candidate to nominate. No formal action was
taken.
2. Certified Local Government 1992 Grant Manual
Chairman Nyberg advised the Board that he had received
the 1992 CLG Grants Manual from the Minnesota Historical
Society. Board members agreed that since they were still
exploring participation in the Certified Local Government
programs they would file the manual for possible use in
the future.
C. Wooddale Park Sign
Board members asked Ms. Repya the status of the proposed
Wooddale Park sign; their concern being that the national
Register Status of the Country Club District isn't
011
currently displayed. The Board agrees that Wooddale Park
would be a natural place to include a placque explaining
natural Register designation.
Ms. Repya agreed to check with Bob Kojetin on the status
of the sign and report back at the next meeting.
D. 6001 Pine Grove Road - Dr. Paul Carson House
Ms. Repya gave board members a map showing the location
of Dr. Carson's house as well as a copy of the home's
description from the History and Architecture of Edina
Minnesota book by Scott and hast. She then explained
that last fall, she and City Manager, Ken Rosland met
with Dr. Carson and his son Cary about adding the
Heritage Preservation Overlay Zoning district to his
property.
Dr. Carsons home was designed by the famous prairie
school architect, William Purcell who was a student of
Frank Lloyd Wright. Apparently, Dr. Carson and Mr.
Purcell were personal friends and when the home was being
built in 1941, they corresponded frequently between
California and Minnesota. Dr. Carson still has the
letters which clearly document Purcell's philosophies and
intentions for their home.
Ms. Repya concluded by explaining that Dr. Carson and his
son had expressed interest in presenting their rezoning
request at the February meetings; she then promised to
keep the Board advised as more information became
available.
E. Sly Family's Handyman's House
Marilyn Curtis announced that the Sly Family' Handyman's
house at West 60th Street and Wooddale Avenue was
currently for sale. A brief discussion ensued relative
to the significance of the house. No action was taken.
