Conditional Use Permit
Edina Country Club (ECC)
5100 Wooddale Avenue
Mr. Larsen informed the Commission the Edina Country Club is proposing
a two level addition to the south side of the existing clubhouse. The addition
provides for an expanded pro shop on the lower level and seating for the pub on
the upper level.
Mr. Larsen concluded staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use
Permit for clubhouse expansion. Approval should be conditioned on restoration
of screening along Wooddale Avenue.
Mr. Michael Bjornberg, of Miller Dunwiddie was present representing the
Edina Country Club (ECC).
Commissioner McClelland questioned the time frame to complete the
screening along Wooddale Avenue. Mr. Larsen responded in speaking with ECC
staff they indicated if weather doesn't become a factor screening could proceed
this fall.
Chairman Byron asked for further explanation on the proposed structural
changes to the clubhouse.
Mr. Bjornberg with graphics explained the proposed addition would be
constructed toward the south. He pointed out expansion would occur on top of
the existing flat deck area with internal improvements to the electrical and
mechanical aspects of the project to include the rearrangement of the existing
seating area to function as new lounge area. All seating for the pub would be
relocated to the upper level. Concluding Mr. Bjornberg said the proposed
expansion rearranges seating within the building while solving functioning issues.
Seating capacity remains the same.
Commissioner Swenson asked if the porch area would continue to be
screened. Mr. Bjornberg responded in the affirmative.
Commissioner McClelland told Mr. Bjornberg she would like to see the
landscaping/screening planted as soon as possible. Mr. Bjornberg responded
ECC has contracted and scheduled a start date, which is this fall. He pointed out
the Country Club is trying to coincide the planting and screening process with the
street improvements to Wooddale Avenue.
Commissioner Workinger asked Mr. Larsen if parking has been a problem
for the ECC. Mr. Larsen responded to date he has observed occasional short-
term on-street parking for large events, and in his opinion parking isn't a problem.
Commissioner Runyan moved to recommend Conditional Use Permit
approval subject to the plans presented and subject to staff conditions.
Chairman Byron asked Commissioner Runyan if his motion includes restoration
of the landscaping and screening. Commissioner Runyan said his motion is
intended to include restoration of landscaping/screening along Wooddale
Avenue. Commissioner Swenson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Commissioner Swenson commented she is very familiar with the Club and
believes the proposal solves some of the existing problems. She concluded this
renovation is an improvement.
