City of Mission Hills Park Board Nymph Island The Park Board is returning the ARB with changes to their previously approved project. Summary of Project: The ARB previously approved the installation of the stone pedestal (wayside trail exhibit) with the understanding that the project would return to indicate how the pedestal would connect to the existing sidewalk. The Park Board would like to have 18” to 24” of a small flagstone ribbon/path installed around the base of the pedestal and then sod the remainder of the area. This will keep the pedestal free from damage from lawn equipment and create a solid base between the sidewalk and pedestal for visitors to stand on.

Design Guideline Review: Design Guidelines to not apply to a project of this type. May 29, 2018 B.

KCPL KCPL is proposing to replace an existing wood pole with a steel pole along the Mission Hills Country Club. Summary of Project: KCPL has an existing wooden pole with overhead lines north of Brush Creek along Mission Hills Country Club. The pole is near the creek and with the storms over the last 9 months, the creek has significantly eroded near the wooden pole and the guide wires are no longer secured to the ground due to the erosion. The pole is now within 4 feet of the creek bank and posing a serious public safety issue, not to mention power reliability should the pole fail in a future storm. Because of the erosion, there is nowhere to locate the new guide wires so the only feasible fix is to install a street pole near the location of the existing pole. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: Design Guidelines do not apply to this type of project. May 29, 2018 #2 Molli & Jason Ittel 2808 West 66th Street The Ittels are proposing an interior remodel that includes a new fireplace, multiple windows, and a new deck.

The proposed deck is slightly smaller than the existing deck. The change in configuration will require the existing brick patio be modified to align with the deck stairs.
