June 25, 2019 #2 Wes Valentine 6131 Ensley Lane The Valentines are proposing to replace an existing retaining wall at the creek edge of their front yard. This project was continued at the May 28th meeting so that the wall material could be re- evaluated. The ARB requested that a natural stone wall be considered. The project was again continued at the June 11th meeting. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: Creekside Summary of Project: The Valentines are now proposing to use Rosetta Stone manufactured blocks for the retaining wall. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: Section 2.6.3 C provides specific recommendations for Creekside frontages. This section recommends that creeks should trend back toward a more natural profile with a lower angle of repose. The section goes on to suggest that structures within the creek should be stone or compatible materials. Discussion is recommended. June 25, 2019 #3 Steve Hughes 6619 Willow Lane Mr. Hughes is proposing to install a 2.5 ft. tall concrete block retaining wall in the rear yard. Decorative rock will be added at the end of the new retaining wall. A drainage pipe will be connected to a downspout and will daylight in the rear yard.

The owners have chosen the Ozark Blend color with a straight profile. The wall will be located at the north side of the rear yard. Decorative rock will be placed at the eastern edge of the new wall A new PVC drainage pipe will be connected to the southeast downspout and buried – daylighting 15 ft. from the rear and side property lines. NOTE: The site plan shows the pipe daylighting closer to the property line, but that could be a drawing error. Clarification is required. Additional decorative rock will be added on top of the where the pipe will be buried. There is currently decorative rock in that location – the owners are just adding some new rock. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and City ordinances. Design Guideline Review: Section 2.7.3.B on page 107 of the Design Guidelines recommends that retaining walls be made of, or clad in, brick, natural stone, or stucco.
