STAFF COMMENTS Planner Repya reminded the board that she and Consultant Vogel visited Marri Oskam, the owner of 6901 Dakota Trail regarding the potential for designating her home a heritage landmark.

The board was enthusiastic about the potential for considering a landmark designation of Mrs. Oskam's home, and thanked Ms. Repya for the report. XI. NEXT MEETING DATE July 8, 2014 - Summer Tour Planner reported that the annual summer tour is planned for the regular July 8th meeting. This year, the Savory Gardens neighborhood which includes a large concentration of mid-century Lundgren homes has been chosen. Member Christiaansen lives in the neighborhood - her home was built by Lundgren, and she has generously offered to help plan the tour. Member O'Brien asked if it would be possible to start the tour prior to 7:00 p.m. Ms. Repya responded that typically the board likes to meet earlier on the tour nights to take advantage of as much daylight as possible. She added that the change in the meeting time and place needs to be posted for the public. Board members agreed that meeting at 6:00 p.m. would be a good idea. Ms. Repya pointed out that currently, it appears that there will be 2 COA applications to consider in July; and since the tour will take the entire meeting, she recommended that the official business of the board be moved to a special meeting on an alternate date. After a brief discussion, it was agreed that Ms. Repya would tally the board regarding their availability for July 9`h, 10`h, 16`h, or 17`h; and will schedule the special meeting on the date that works for the majority of the board. XII. ADJOURNMENT 7:20 p.m. Member Moore moved for adjournment at 7:20 p.m. Member McLellan seconded the motion. All voted aye. The motion carried. Following the adjournment of the official meeting, the board was privileged to have a guided tour of the "Edina on the Map" exhibit led by Edina resident/historian & surveyor Frank Cardarelle, and Historical Society Executive Director, Marci Matson.
