A. 1. Joyce Repya September 13, 2016 H-16-6 Senior Planner APPLICANT: McMonigal Architects for Linda Smith LOCATION: 4519 Bruce Avenue PROPOSAL: Construct a new 2-car detached garage in place of the existing detached garage RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness Request Subject to Conditions INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND: The subject property is located on the east side of the 4500 block of Bruce Avenue. The existing home, an Italian Renaissance Revival style constructed in 1927, currently has a detached garage measuring 978 square feet in area providing for 2-cars plus storage (constructed in 1976) located in the southeast corner of the rear yard. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Certificate of Appropriateness request entails demolition of the existing detached garage and construction of a new detached garage of the same size in the same location. The proposed 978 square foot structure provides for an overhead entry and service door on the west elevation; two sets of double hung windows on the north and south elevations; and no articulation on the rear (east) elevation due to it abutting the rear of the neighboring garage. The design of the structure is proposed to more closely compliment the style of the home with stucco clad walls, and hip roof with asphalt shingles. The plans provide a building height to peak of 17'8"; 14' 4" at mid-point of the roof; and 10'6" at the eave - consistent with the existing garage, and other garages in the district that have received COA's. COA H-16-6 4519 Bruce Avenue September 13, 2016 PRESERVATION CONSULTANT ROBERT VOGEL'S COMMENTS: The COA application describes an accessory structure that is consistent with the design review guidelines for new garages in the district plan of treatment. New detached garages are regarded as an appropriate undertaking in the Country Club District when the new construction does not have an adverse effect on significant heritage preservation resources. In my opinion, the existing garage is not historically significant and does not contribute to the significance of the district. Based on the information presented, the proposed new construction is compatible with the architectural character of the historic house. It will not have a negative visual effect on the character of the surrounding neighborhood and should not detract from the historic significance and integrity of the district as a whole. Therefore, approval of the COA is recommended subject to the plans presented, and a year built plaque to be installed on the exterior of the new structure. STAFF RECOMMENDATION & FINDINGS: Staff concurs with Consultant Vogel's evaluation of the proposed plans for the new detached garage, recommending approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness request. Findings supporting the recommendation include: • The plans provided with subject request clearly illustrate the scale and scope of the proposed projects. • The proposed detached garage will complement the architectural style of the home and not be detrimental to the adjacent historic structures. • The information provided supporting the subject Certificate of Appropriateness meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the Country Club District Plan of Treatment. Conditions for approval: • The plans presented dated August 23, 2016; and • Placement of a year built plaque on the exterior of the new detached garage. Deadline for City Action: October 7, 2016 2 McMonigal Architects NARRATIVE Date: August 18, 2016 To: Edina Heritage Preservation Board Project: Linda J. Smith Certificate of Appropriateness application for garage remodeling/replacement 4519 Bruce Avenue South, Edina, MN 55424 From: Rosemary McMonigal, Phil Hofstad This property is located within the Country Club District of Edina. The existing detached garage structure has deteriorated and is in need of replacement. The hand-framed roof trusses are failing, which has caused the roof to sag and the walls to bow outward. The concrete floor slab is in good condition, but a licensed structural engineer has confirmed that the rest of the structure should be replaced. The proposed garage will have the same footprint, height, and massing as the existing garage and will utilize the existing concrete floor slab. Because of this, the surrounding landscaping and impervious surfaces (single car width driveway) will not be affected. The front of the garage will remain at the same location, behind the house, set far back from the street. The design and placement of the garage follow Country Club District Design Guidelines: • The new garage matches the architectural style of the house and fits the historic character of the neighborhood.
