Richard & Marisa Fleenor * 3200 West 69th Street The Fleenors are returning to the ARB with changes to their previously approved project. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: At the rear of the house, a new second floor door is proposed to access an existing roof deck. The extent of the deck railing has been reduced to allow access to an existing exterior spiral stair. At the east (right) side of the house, a new pair of windows is proposed at the side of the new addition. The roofline has been corrected to accommodate the previously approved addition. Ordinance Compliance: The project includes a second story addition that violates the combined side yard setback. This was previously approved by the ARB and the owners will appear before the BZA in October to request a variance. The proposed changes do not affect the variance.

No changes are proposed at the rear of the house. 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 29, 2019 #4 Brian & Allison Bloch 3120 West 68th Street The Blochs are proposing an interior remodel that includes multiple window and door changes. 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, an existing window and shutters are being replaced with a new window and shutters of the same size and style. At the rear of the house an existing single patio door is being replaced with a new sliding glass door. An additional pair of doors is being replaced with a new pair of doors of the same size and style. A new vent for an interior fireplace is being added to an existing small rear wing. At the left (west) side of the house, several windows are being added and removed. The most noteworthy is the addition of an oculus window.

Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: A large portion of Mr. Isenberg’s home has a flat roof. It is in this area where the new solar panels are proposed. The panels will be pitched slightly. They will stand approximately 10 inches above the roof at their highest points. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances.

October 29, 2019 #6 Chris & Stephanie Cooch 5630 High Drive The Cooches are returning to the ARB with changes to their previously approved project. The project scope is being modified to include a new driveway and auto-court. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The Cooches existing asphalt driveway meanders across their property diagonally. The proposed concrete driveway will follow a similar path. At the center of the drive, a new 60 foot diameter auto-court is proposed with an 18-foot diameter center planter. The entire driveway is concrete with an intricate joint layout. A new walkway will connect the proposed auto-court to the existing house. This sidewalk is 12 feet wide, 30 feet long and contains two sets of stairs. Additional changes include; the elimination of an existing stone path, repairs to the paving at the covered porch, and the driveway configuration near the driveway gate. The original project was approved with a small pergola at the south side of the pool. The design of the pergola has been finalized for ARB review. Ordinance Compliance: City code section 5-103.129 defines walkways as no wider than 5 feet. Since the front walkway is 12 feet wide, it does not meet the definition of a walkway and is considered an accessory structure. This makes the project in violation of City Code Section 5-119.C which does not allow accessory structures in the front yard. However, since the existing walkway is also 12 feet wide, Code Section 5-128.C.1 allows the exact replacement of an existing nonconforming structure without the need for a variance. Design Guideline Review: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Design Guidelines.
