Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front Yard • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The new window will be a triple casement with muntin bars similar to other windows in the home.

May 30, 2017 #3 Carl & Carol Weiner 6140 Mission Drive The Weiners are returning to the ARB with changes to their previously approved project and to replace a rd yard light along 63 street. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front Yard • Any Special Frontages: Creekside Summary of Project: The original project was approved to replace the driveway with a new brick driveway. The Weiners are now proposing an interlocking paver in lieu of the brick. At the rear or the property, the patio has pilasters that are to have lights mounted to them. The previously proposed fixtures are not available, so the Weiners are proposing an alternate fixture. rd The Weiners are also proposing to replace a yard light located along 63 Street. Due to the uniqueness of the lot, this is technically the side yard, but it is aligned with the neighbors’ front yards. Regardless, city ordinances allow for a single yard light located in the front yard. The proposed fixture will be mounted on a 7 foot pole and will match the fixtures proposed at the rear patio. The exact location of the pole needs clarification. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guidelines: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Design Guidelines.

Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The existing concrete patio will be replaced with new bluestone pavers. A 9 foot wide by 20 foot deep extension will be added along one side. At the end of this new extension, the Esreys are proposing a new outdoor fireplace. The new fireplace will stand 8 feet tall at its highest point and be 11 feet wide. The material of the fireplace has not been indicated. Clarification is required. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances.

May 30, 2017 #5 Overhill Realty * 6537 Overhill Road Overhill Realty is returning to the ARB with changes to their previously approved project. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban (Transitional) • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The project was originally approved with a large pool and deck located in the rear yard. They are now proposing to significantly decrease the size of the pool and the associated deck. The new pool has a water surface area of 176 square feet and will be located at the south side of the rear yard. Due to its location, the pool is technically located in the side yard. In addition to the revised pool, they are now proposing a new outdoor fireplace at the rear of the house. The fireplace is “see-thru” and is located in a wall at the transition from the upper patio to the pool deck. Ordinance Compliance: The project is in violation of city ordinance 5-120 H which allows pools to be located in the side yard provided they are a minimum of 20 feet from the side property line. The proposed pool deck is located 16.7’ from the side property line. A variance of 3.3 feet is required. Design Guideline Review: The design guidelines generally discourage any project that violates city ordinances. Discussion is recommended. *Variance required.

Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: When originally approved, the detached garage was located perpendicular to the main house. While the garage sat at the rear of the property, it was still clearly visible from the street. Mr. Fenske is now proposing to place the detached garage at an angle to the main house allowing it to obscure the visibility of the garage. Please note, the original detached garage was approved with a hipped roof. The current submittal indicates the garage is to have a gabled roof. It is not clear if this was intentional. Clarification is required. Ordinance Compliance: The project is in violation of city ordinance 5-121 C which requires accessory structures, located in the rear yard, to be a minimum of 10 feet from the side or rear property lines. The proposed A/C units are located within this setback. A variance of 3 feet is required. Design Guideline Review: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Design Guidelines. *Variance required.

May 30, 2017 #8 Kristie Murphy* 2202 West 70th Terrace Ms. Murphy is proposing a putting green, patio, fire pit and modifications to an existing sport court in her rear yard. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The proposed patio will replace an existing patio at the rear of the house behind the garage. The replacement patio will extend to the east all the way to the property line. A new 6 foot fence will be added along the side property line. At the rear of the patio, a new cable railing will be installed. A new patio will extend into the rear yard directly behind the replaced patio. Due to changes in topography, the new patio will sit several feet lower and be separated from the other patio by a planter bed. A new fire pit is proposed at the center of the lower patio. It is unclear how tall the fire pit walls will be. The two patios will be connected by a walkway and stairs. Planter beds will be installed between the new stairs and the property line. An existing balcony will be resurfaced with wood tile and faced with IPE trim. A new cable railing will replace the existing railing. The patio below the balcony will be resurfaced to match the patios. At the east side of the garage, a new driveway has been indicated. It is unclear how this driveway will tie into the existing driveway. Clarification is required. At the west side of the house, an existing walkway will be replaced with a new walkway that connects from the rear yard to a series of stepping stones at the west side of the house. The proposed putting green is a freeform shape in the center of the rear yard. The green sits approximately 7 feet from the rear property line, and the “rough” area is approximately 5 feet from the rear property line. An existing non-conforming sport court is located in the rear yard that touches the rear property line. Two options have been presented to modify this court. Plan A proposes to cover the existing court with new sport court material. Plan B expands the court to the south and west but eliminates 5 feet at the rear of the property. The modified surface will be covered with sport court material. Ordinance Compliance: The project is in violation of city ordinance 5-120 G which requires accessory structures, located in the side yard, be a minimum of 10 feet from the side or rear property lines. The proposed patio touches the side property line. A variance of 10 feet is required. The project is also in violation of city ordinance 5-121 D which requires outdoor recreational facilities, located in the rear yard, be a minimum of 20 feet from the side or rear property lines. The existing sport court is located 19 feet from the side and 0 feet from the rear. If Plan A is approved, variances of 1 foot from the side and 20 feet from the rear are required. If Plan B is approved, variance of 1 foot from the side, and 15 feet from the rear are required. The putting green, at 7 feet from the rear property line, is also in violation of this ordinance. A variance of 13 feet is required. Design Guideline Review: The design guidelines generally discourage any project that violates city ordinances. Discussion is recommended. * Multiple variances are required. May 30, 2017
