At the front of the house, an existing bow window will be replaced with a boxed bay window of the
same size. Decorative corbels are proposed under the window. Also at the front, a double
casement window is to be replaced with a quad casement window. The existing shutters will be
relocated accordingly.
At the south (right) side of the house, two existing windows will be replaced with new units of the
same size in new locations. The new locations make reinstalling the existing shutters impossible.
At the rear of the house, an existing covered alcove is being infilled and all of the windows
replaced. The rightmost window is a new window in the existing opening. A new sliding glass door
is proposed where the alcove was filled in and 3 casement windows are proposed to the left of the

#2 David & Diane Zimmer* 5924 High Drive
The Zimmers are returning to the ARB with changes to their previously approved fence project.
The project was continued from the May 11, 2021 ARB meeting so that the owners could present
an alternative plan for the fence.
Summary of Property:
Character Area: Neighborhood Estates
Location of Common Green Space: Front
Any Special Frontages: None
Summary of Project:
Portions of the fence interfere with an existing tree. The fence construction in this area does not
match the pre-approved fence style.
Portions of the fence exceed the 6-foot maximum height allowed in the rear yard. The ARB can
approve up to a 7-foot fence in the rear yard. Portions of the fence exceed the 6-foot maximum
height allowed in the side yard. A shallow swale follows the property line which makes the fence
taller on the neighbor’s side. NOTE: The height of the fence was approved by the ARB at its
May 11th meeting.
Ordinance Compliance:
The project is in violation of City Code Section 5-135 B 2 which limits the height of fences in the
side yard to 6 feet. The tallest location found was 7 foot 2 inches. A variance of 14 inches is
required.
Guideline Review:
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Design
Guidelines.
*
A variance is required.
May 25, 2021
#3 Dieter & Yassin Trost 3800 West 65th Street
The Trosts are proposing a fence extension, resurfacing an existing patio, and adding a basement
access stair.
Summary of Property:
Character Area: Suburban
Location of Common Green Space: Front
Any Special Frontages: None
Summary of Project:
The proposed basement access stair is located at the rear of the house and consists of concrete
stairs leading to a pair of doors. The cheek walls are proposed as block in some elevations and
noted as brick on others. The plan view indicates what appears to be a planter down one side, but
none of the perspective views show a planter. Clarification is required.
The proposed fence is for the fence return on the right side of the house. The proposed fence is a
6-foot stockade style that will replace an existing picket fence, and tie into the neighbor’s board-on-
board fence.
The proposed patio is an existing non-conforming patio located in the northwest corner of the
property, by the existing pool. The Trosts are proposing to resurface the patio with porcelain tile.
Samples of the proposed tile can be seen in the attached photographs.
Ordinance Compliance:
City Code Section 5-128 allows for alterations of existing non-conforming structures provided that
the alterations do not increase the height or footprint of the structure. No variances are required.
Guideline Review:
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Design
Guidelines.

The landscaping around the pool and at the retaining walls have been updated. All the trees
remain.
Near the front door, the driveway has been widened from 14 feet to 16 feet wide.
At the front and side elevations, the stone watertable next to the front entry has been lowered to
match the adjacent areas.
At the motor court, the stone watertable has been eliminated between the double garage doors.
At the rear of the house, the stone inside the covered patio was replaced with stucco. A stone
watertable has been added to the covered grill patio next to the fireplace. A full height stone wall
was added between the south columns and the house.
On all elevations, rafter tails have been added to each soffit.
Ordinance Compliance:
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of
Ordinances.

#5 Jerome & Tammy Torres 3110 Tomahawk Road
The Torres family is proposing multiple additions to their home.
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, a new addition will add approximately 3 feet of depth at the left side of the
house. The new addition is one story and sided with lap siding. A new low slope roof will cover
the new addition and tie into the existing roof. The fenestration in the new addition is similar to the
existing, with the exception of several small windows. Directly above the new addition is a new
lantern feature with a hipped roof. Windows are proposed on the front elevation only.
A new roof structure is proposed over the front porch. It is a simple hipped roof structure supported
on columns. The section of roof over the front door has a 6:12 pitch. The section to the side has a
lower slope. The windows under the new porch and the front door are all to be replaced. Directly
above the front door is another lantern feature with front facing windows and hipped roof.
At the rear of the house, between the garage and existing rear wing, a new wall will be added
within an existing alcove. Like the front addition, the new wall will be sided with lap siding and a
new low slope roof will tie back into the existing roof. The windows and doors at the back of the
rear wing are all being replaced with new larger clear-view units. Several new small square
windows are being proposed at the left side of the rear elevation.
Ordinance Compliance:
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of
Ordinances.
Guideline Review:
Section 2.7.1 B on page 92 of the design guidelines provides recommendations for exterior wall
materials. The existing home is all brick and all of the new additions are proposed horizontal
siding. The horizontal siding type, thickness, reveal, etc. has not been indicated. Clarification is
necessary.
Section 2.7.1 B on page 94 recommends that roof styles should be consistent with the architectural
style of the house, to avoid complex roof forms, and limit the number of roof pitches to two. The
proposed additions add 4 new roof pitches to the existing house. Discussion is recommended.
Section 2.7.1 B on page 96 provides specific recommendations for windows. Nearly all of the
existing windows have muntin bars. The proposed windows are all indicated without muntins and
the existing windows to remain to not indicate any muntins. Clarification is necessary.
May 25, 2021
#6 Ken Block 2940 Verona Road
The Blocks are proposing a new 1-story cabana with a 1,219 sq. ft. footprint in their rear yard and a
755 809 sq. ft. detached garage located in the north side yard. The project includes a new stone
paver pool deck, patio, hot tub and swim spa. A small driveway extension is proposed for the new
garage, along with a new trash enclosure.
The majority of this project was approved at the April 27th ARB meeting, with the exception of the
detached garage.
Summary of Property:
Character Area: Countryside Estates
Location of Common Green Space: Front and Side
Any Special Frontages: Hillside
Lot Coverage Review:
Existing Building Area: 5,156 sf
Cabana: 1,219 sf
Detached Garage: 755 sf
Total Roofed Area: 7,130 sf
Summary of Project:
A garage design has been revised and reduced to have a 755 sf footprint. Other than the size, the
revised design is essentially the same as previously proposed.
Ordinance Compliance:
For the purposes of this review, the pool cabana building is being reviewed as a detached
accessory building however Code Section 5-103.37 defines accessory buildings as being fully-
enclosed with solid immovable walls, therefore the building could be interpreted as an outdoor
recreational facility that does not have the same setback and area requirements.
City Code Section 5-132 E limits the height of detached garages to 24 feet or two stories tall. It is
the City’s policy to measure the height at the street facing side to allow for sloping sites. In this
case, the cabana building is located in the center of the rear yard and does not have a street face.
As such the mean height would be used which is less than the 24-foot maximum.
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of
Ordinances.
Design Guideline Review:
Section 2.2 on pages 60 through 63 of the Design Guidelines provides specific recommendations
for the Countryside Estates character area.
Subsection E suggests that Detached Accessory buildings located in the Secondary Building Area
should have a height up to 2 stories and 24 feet with a maximum area of 720 SF. The detached
garage footprint is 755 sf 809 sf. This recommendation has not been met. The section goes on
to suggest that there should be no more than 2 Accessory Buildings per lot. This recommendation
has been met.
May 25, 2021
Section 2.6.4.A on page 89 discourages overbuilding by suggesting that homes avoid reaching
more than 2 minimum/maximum setbacks or limits. This recommendation has been met.
Section 2.7.2 A on page 101 recommends garages be set behind the façade of the main house
mass. This recommendation has been met.
Section 2.7.3.A on page 106 recommends that LS-6 and 7 properties have a greenspace no less
than 70% of the lot area. With the proposed addition, 65.9% has been provided; however, the
project is increasing the greenspace. This recommendation has not been met.
Greenspace Review:
Lot area: 71,873 sf
Total roof area: 7,130 sf
Driveways, Patios and walkways: 17,413 sf
Remaining Greenspace: 47,330 sf (65.9%)

#7 Top Choice Contracting LLC 2117 Drury Lane
The new owners are proposing a new 2-story home with a 3,636 sq. ft. footprint. The footprint
consists of 2,547 sq. ft. of first floor living space, and an 880 sq. ft. 3-car garage. The project
includes a swimming pool with a large patio and an auto-court driveway.
The proposed project is a substantial construction matter and was noticed as such.
The project was continued at the May 11th ARB meeting so that revisions could be made.
Summary of Property:
Character Area: Neighborhood Estates
Location of Common Green Space: Front
Any Special Frontages: None
Summary of Project:
The house is a contemporary style sided in a combination of stone and stucco. The main mass of
the house is 2 stories. The main mass is flanked on both sides and the front by one-story side
wings. The windows are all clear-view and most are fixed. The window arrangement is fairly
formal on all sides of the house. The roof is comprised of multiple planes that all appear to have
the same pitch.
The new first floor elevation is approximately 2 feet higher than the existing grade. The main floor
sits 5 feet higher than the house to the right and 5 feet lower than the home to the left. The main
ridge is 7.4 feet higher than the home to the right and 4 feet lower than the home to the left. Due to
the different styles of the adjacent homes, eave lines are significantly different with the proposed
house having eaves 14 feet higher than the home to the right and 5 feet lower than the home to the
left. Significant grading is proposed at the southwest corner of the lot.
An auto-court is located near the garages and is positioned to accommodate all three garages. A
hammer-head portion of the auto-court extends in front of the house along the front walkway.
The pool is proposed at the rear of the main mass. It is surrounded on all sides by a new terrace.
A retaining wall is proposed at the west side. There is no indication of a code compliant pool barrier
at this time. Pool equipment location is shown to the south of the single-car garage and we
assume A/C units will be located there as well, but clarification is required.
Update:
Revised drawings have been provided. Eaves were extended, the ridge line lowered, and windows
were changed. The front entry was revised and a 6” metal trim piece was added at the eave line.
May 25, 2021
Update 5/4/2021:
Revised drawings have been provided. The stone sill at the first floor has been better articulated
on the drawings and similar sills have been added to all the windows at the front of the house. The
stone planters at the front of the house have been refined and lowered. The stone wainscoting has
been extended around the perimeter of the house, and more stone is being used at the rear. The
stone patterning changes above and below the wainscoting. At the rear of the house, the windows
have been modified to a more consistent size and pattern. Updated window details have been
provided to illustrate the window installation.
Ordinance Compliance:
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of
Ordinances.
Design Guideline Review:
Section 2.3 on pages 64 through 67 of the Design Guidelines provides specific recommendations
for the Neighborhood Estates character area.
Subsection A suggests that the main mass of the house should be between 40% and 50% of the
lot width. At 48 feet wide (45%), the main meets this recommendation. This section goes on to
suggest that the depth of the main mass should be 25% of the lot width. At 50 feet deep, the
depth of the main mass is significantly more than 25% of the lot width.
Subsection B suggests that front wings have a width not to exceed 50% of the main mass width.
This recommendation has been met.
Subsection D suggests that rear wings located in the primary or secondary building areas can be
up to 2 stories and 30 feet tall providing that their height is less than the main mass. This
recommendation has been met. This section goes on to suggest that rear wings should have a
width clearly less than the main mass and should not exceed 50% of the main mass width. This
recommendation has been met.
Section 2.6.4 on page 89 of the Design Guidelines provides recommendations for lot coverage.
The section suggests that lot coverage be limited and should not exceed an increase of 50% over
the average percentage maximum lot coverage that is being used by the neighboring properties.
This recommendation has been met.
Section 2.7.2 A on page 101 recommends garages be set behind the façade of the main house
mass. This recommendation has been met.
Section 2.7.2.B on page 102 recommends drives be no more than 12 feet wide at the front
property line. This recommendation has been met.
Section 2.7.3.A on page 106 recommends that LS-1 properties have a minimum of 60%
greenspace. This recommendation has been met.
Section 2.6.4.A on page 89 discourages overbuilding by suggesting that homes avoid reaching
more than 2 minimum/maximum setbacks or limits. This recommendation has been met.

the top of the chimney. Please note, due to the layout of the property, the fireplace will be visible
from State Line Road.
The balcony extension is at the rear of the main mass. An existing balcony with slim metal columns
will be augmented by cantilevering out a new stone wall that will include large stone framed
openings. The new balcony will be supported by stone brackets let into the existing brick wall
below.
