Summary of Property: • Character Area: Traditional Neighborhood • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The existing window is a picture window with flanking double hung windows. The proposed window is a double picture window. The new window will have muntin bars to match the rest of the windows in home. The proposed window is more in keeping with the style of the house than the existing window.

February 18, 2020 #2 David Sylvester 2718 West 63rd Street Mr. Sylvester is proposing to replace 16 windows and 1 door in his home. UPDATE: The project was continued to the February 18th meeting so that full elevation drawings could be provided showing the design intent with the consideration of adding some form of muntins on the new windows. No new elevation drawings were submitted and it is unclear if a design change has been made. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: It is not clear if all of the windows in the house are being replaced, but the vast majority are. All of the proposed windows are the same size as the existing windows; however the style is being changed from full divided lights to clear view. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: Section 2.7.1 D on page 96 of the Design Guidelines provides specific recommendations for windows and doors. This section suggests that windows should match the given style of building chosen. The proposal to change from divided light windows to clear view windows will give the house a more contemporary and less traditional appearance. Discussion is recommended.
