Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: Mr. Rook was previously approved for an interior remodel that included replacing multiple windows and doors. At the rear of the house, a new clearstory window was being added over an existing large clear- view window. He is now proposing to omit the clearstory windows and replace the clearview window with a quad sliding door. The original project also included the removal of a triple sliding glass door and window in an adjacent wing. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Design Guidelines. October 31, 2017 #2 Taylor & Lisa Simmermon 1900 West 70th Terrace The Simmermons are proposing to add copper fence post caps with LED lights to a recently installed fence. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The installed fence is a pre-approved style so it was not presented to the ARB. The addition of the lighted caps requires ARB review. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Design Guidelines. October 31, 2017 #3 Dr. McNamara 6320 Aberdeen Road Dr. McNamara is proposing to replace his existing roof with a new faux cedar shake roof. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The proposed roofing material is Davinci’s Bellaforte Shake using the Mountain color blend. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: The design guidelines generally discourage the use of synthetic materials. Discussion is recommended. October 31, 2017 #4 Bill & Kelly Martucci 3216 West 69th Street The Martuccis are returning to the ARB to present their landscape plan as required and changes to their project. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates (Transitional) • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The landscape plan provides for dense landscaping at the perimeter of the rear and side yards in addition to plantings near the house. The front yard has been kept as an open vista as recommended by the Design Guidelines. One significant change from the previously approved hardscape plan is the introduction of a new wall between the main patio and the sport court. The wall is brick with a limestone cap and stands 20 inches tall. A firepit is incorporated into the wall. The new wall will provide a transition point between the patio and the sport court which is covered with a composite sport court material. A sample of the court material will be available at the meeting. Another change is the front walkway. The original approved drawings indicated a freeform walkway. The current proposal changes the walkway to a more rectilinear design. The driveway has also been modified. Previously the driveway maintained a 12 foot width from the street back to the auto-court. The current proposal widens the driveway from 12 feet to 20 feet. The widening begins 30 feet from the back of curb. At the rear of the house, the driveway is being extended an additional 10 feet behind the garage. In addition to the hardscape and landscape plans, the Martuccis are also requesting a modification to their front door. On the original approved drawings, the front door included a small transom over both the doors and the sidelights. The Martuccis are now proposing a taller door and sidelights and eliminating the transom windows. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City’s Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: Section 2.7.2 B 2 on page 103 of the Design Guidelines states that direct drives may transition to wider drives provided they are no more than 12 feet wide for the first 30 feet behind the curb. This recommendation has been met. October 31, 2017 #5 Alexander & Michelle Chiu 3838 West 64th Street The Chius are proposing a new second story addition at the rear of their home. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The new addition is to be constructed over the top of an existing covered porch and an existing first floor area with an existing flat roof. All materials and detailing are to match the existing home. The end of the new addition sits atop the covered porch and is detailed with a gabled end. The remainder of the new second floor is directly in line with the first floor below. The rear wall of the house will extend as a single plane up to a new mansard roof. A small offset allows the mansard roof to transition into the rd gabled end. The flat portion of the roof allows for existing 3 floor dormers to be unobstructed. The gabled end helps to hide the flat roof area from the neighboring views. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Design Guidelines. October 31, 2017 #6 Matt & Kristen Holton 5828 Pembroke Court The Holtons are proposing extensive cosmetic modifications to their home. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: At the front of the house, all the first floor double-hung windows will be replaced with new archtop casement windows. A new gable with an oculus window will be added to the existing roof over the front door. At the south (left) side of the house an additional first floor window will be replaced with an archtop casement to match the windows at the front of the house. At the rear of the house, the windows in a dormer at the south end of the house will be replaced. The siding on the dormer will also be changed to stucco. Additional windows will be replaced at both floors. On the north (right) side of the house, two new oculus style windows are proposed The home has multiple 1-story wings with flat roofs and balustrades. All the balustrades will be changed to have a Chippendale style railing with new finials at major posts. At the roof, the existing balustrade will be removed and the ridge line extended to match the height. Two new false chimneys will be constructed at each end of the main ridge.
