Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The revised layout widens the driveway to 18 feet near the house, and increases the width at the street and at the connection to the existing direct driveway from 10 feet to 12 feet. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: Section 2.5 on pages 72 through 75 of the Design Guidelines provides specific recommendations for the Suburban character area. Subsection G suggest that circle driveways have an inner green that is no less than 80 feet wide and 40 feet deep. The proposed circle drive sits much closer to the street than recommended. Discussion is recommended. December 17, 2019 #3 Genevieve & Brendan Healy 6516 High Drive The Healys are proposing to add a second floor over an existing rear wing. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Traditional Neighborhood • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The new second floor addition will maintain the same eave line and roof pitch as the main mass of the house, but the overall height will be significantly less.

Design Guideline Review: Section 2.4 on pages 68 through 71 of the Design Guidelines provides specific recommendations for the Traditional Neighborhood character area. Subsection D recommends that rear wings, located in the primary building area, be limited to 1 ½ stories and 24 feet in height. As proposed, the rear wing is a full 2 stories and 25 feet in height. Does not meet the Design Guideline. December 17, 2019 #4 Curtis & Jennifer Krizek* 3515 West 64th Street The Krizeks are proposing a new addition along the side of an existing rear wing and a new patio in their side yard. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The new 1-story addition is proposed along the east side of an existing rear wing. The existing wing has a flat roof, so the new addition extends above the existing wing. The materials and fenestration are to match the existing house. The new patio is located to the east of the house along an existing porch. A portion of the existing screened porch will be modified to enclose the porch and add a new stone wall to match the addition. Ordinance Compliance: The project is in violation of Code Section 5-121 A. 1. (b) that requires LS-5 lots have a minimum rear yard setback of 30% measured at any given point. At its closest point, the new addition is 45 feet from the rear property line, 70 feet is required. A variance of 25 feet is required.
