#1 Consent Agenda
A. City of Mission Hills Wenonga Road/Wenonga Terrace Island
The City is proposing landscaping on the island at the corner of Wenonga Road and Wenonga Terrace. As
part of the project, several new stone walls will be added. The City’s Park Board has approved the project.
The ARB approved this project in June, but the appropriate neighbors were not notified.
Summary of Project:
The main wall runs approximately in the east-west direction. It stands 24 inches tall and is terminated at
each end by a 30-inch tall column that will hold a bronze planter.
Several additional terrace walls are proposed along the back side of the island.
Extensive landscaping is proposed around the main wall, with open lawn around the remainder.
Ordinance Compliance:
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances.

Summary of Project:
During the course of construction, it was discovered that the screen walls within the screened porch do not
meet the required fall protection. The Wolfes are now proposing a decorative panel backed with plexiglass
at the lower portion of the screen walls. These new panels will meet the fall protection requirements not met
by screens alone.

#9 Matt & Kerry Adam 6601 Belinder Avenue
The Adams are proposing a new 2-story home with a 6,040 sq. ft. footprint. The footprint consists of 3,646
sq. ft. of first floor living space, a 906 sq. ft. 3-car garage, 1,055 sq. ft. of covered porches, and a 433 sq. ft.
detached garage. The project includes a sport court renovation.
Summary of Property:
• Character Area: Neighborhood Estates
• Location of Common Green Space: Front
• Any Special Frontages: None
Lot Coverage Review:
Main floor living area: 3,646 sf
Main floor garage area: 906 sf
Covered porches: 1,055 sf
Detached Accessory Buildings: 433 sf
Total Lot Coverage: 6,040 sf
Summary of Project:
The proposed house is a Tudor revival style sided entirely with brick. The main mass of the house is 2
stories. The main mass is flanked on both sides by one-story wings. Both wings are compound wings that
connect to rear wings. The windows are all casement or fixed. The window arrangement is fairly formal on
all sides of the house. The roof is comprised of multiple planes with a 12/12 pitch.
The new first floor elevation is approximately 2 feet higher than the previous. The main floor sits 3.1 feet
lower than the house to the right and 0.44 feet higher than the home to the left. The main ridge is 10 feet
lower than the home to the right and 10.2 feet higher than the home to the left. The home to the right has an
elevated first floor so the eaves are not comparable. The home to the left has similar eave heights.
The driveway is a simple circle drive like most of the houses within the immediate area. An area, near the
front entry, is proposed as pavers, but the remaining area material is asphalt. An auto-court is located near
the garage and is positioned to accommodate all three garages. A hammer-head portion of the auto-court
extends to a detached 1-car garage.
The A/C equipment is located on the right side of the house and will be screened with a low stockade fence.
A generator is proposed in a small equipment enclosure at the rear of the detached garage. Other than the
covered patio and a small stoop at the garage entry, no additional patio is proposed at this time. A large
asphalt sport court is existing in the rear yard. The Adams are proposing to cut the area of the sport court
down and move it to be 20 ft. from the side and rear property lines. A new fence is not proposed at the
perimeter of the lot or at the revised sport court.
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 65.7 feet wide, this recommendation has been met. This section goes on to suggest that the depth of the
main mass should be 25% of the lot width but need not to be less than 25 feet. At 36.1 feet deep, this
recommendation has been met. Please note most of the main mass is hidden by side wings.
Subsection B suggests that front wings have a width clearly less than the main mass and the total of all
wings should not exceed 50% of the main mass width. The depth should not be greater than the width. The
height can be up to 2-stories but clearly less than the main mass. The location should be near the front
building line. These recommendations have been met.
Subsection C suggests that side wings, located in the primary building area, should have a depth and height
clearly less than the main mass. They should also be set behind the front plane of the main mass. Side
wings located in the secondary building area should have a height up to 2-stories and 30 feet, but clearly
less than the main mass. These recommendations have 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 but clearly less than the main mass. Rear wings should have a width clearly less than
the main mass and should not exceed 50% of the main mass width. Spacing between wings should no less

#10 Samira Zaman & Talal Khan 5930 Oakwood Road
The Zaman/Khans are proposing a new 2-story home with a 4,623 sq. ft. footprint. The footprint consists of
3,267 sq. ft. of first floor living space, an 810 sq. ft. 3-car garage, and 546 sq. ft. of covered porches. The
project includes a swimming pool and patio.
This project was continued at the September 28th meeting, at the owner’s request.
Summary of Property:
• Character Area: Neighborhood Estates
• Location of Common Green Space: Front
• Any Special Frontages: None
Lot Coverage Review:
Main floor living area: 3,267 sf
Main floor garage area: 810 sf
Covered porches: 546 sf
Detached Accessory Buildings: 0 sf
Total Lot Coverage: 4,623 sf
Summary of Project:
The house is a contemporary style sided in a combination of wood and stucco. The main mass of the house
is 2 stories. The windows are all fixed or casement. The window arrangement is formal on the front, but less
so on the sides. The roof is comprised of multiple flat planes that all have bronze copings.
The new first floor elevation is approximately even with the previous home. The first floor sits 15 feet higher
than the home to the left and 3.5 feet lower than the home to the right. The main ridge is 11.5 feet higher
than the home to the left and is roughly even with the home to the right. Due to the different styles of the
adjacent homes, eave lines are significantly different.
An auto-court is located near the garages and is positioned to accommodate all three garages.
The A/C and pool equipment are not indicated on the plans. Clarification is required.
The pool is proposed at the rear of the main mass. It is connected to a new patio and the covered lanai. A
5-foot tall painted aluminum fence is proposed around the pool and patio.
Ordinance Compliance:
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances.
Greenspace Review:
Lot area: 24,094 sf
House Footprint: 4,623 sf
Hardscape/Driveway: 2,756 sf
Pool: 450 sf
Remaining Greenspace: 16,265 sf 67.5%
Optional Driveway: 1,530 sf
Remaining Greenspace: 14,735 sf 61.2%
Design Guideline Review:
Section 2.3 on pages 64 through 67 of the Design Guidelines provides specific recommendations for the
Neighborhood Estates character area.
October 26, 2021
Subsection A suggests that the main mass of the house should be between 40% and 50% of the lot width.
At 41 feet wide (29%) this is slightly less than the recommendation. This section goes on to suggest that the
depth of the main mass should be 25% of the lot width but need not to be less than 25 feet. At 43 feet deep,
(35%) the depth is slightly deeper that the recommendation. Discussion is recommended.
Subsection C suggests that side wings, located in the primary building area, should have a depth and height
clearly less than the main mass. They should also be set behind the front plane of the main mass. Side
wings located in the secondary building area should have a height up to 2-stories and 30 feet, but clearly
less than the main mass. Side wings located in the conditional building area should have a height no taller
than 1 ½ stories and 24 feet with eaves no higher than 12 feet. These recommendations have 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 but clearly less than the main mass. Rear wings should have a width clearly less than
the main mass and should not exceed 50% of the main mass width. Spacing between wings should be no
less than the eave height of the taller wing. Rear wings located in the Conditional Building Area should have
a height no taller than to 1 ½ stories and 24 feet with eaves no higher than 12 feet. These recommendations
have been met.
Subsection G suggests that driveways occupy as little of the Primary Landscape Area as possible. On lots
wider than 140 feet the driveway should be located off the side property line a distance no less than 8% of
the lot width. The proposed driveway is closer than 8% (11 feet) near the garage, but is farther away at the
curb line. Please note that this portion of the driveway is existing.
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 2.6.4.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 2.7.1 B on page 94 suggests that the number of different roof pitches should be limited to two. This
recommendation has been met.
Section 2.7.1 D on page 96 recommends that all window muntins on the home be the same pattern and
proportion, with few exceptions. 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 not met. The proposed garage is set in a side wing at the front of the house.
Discussion is recommended.
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 at the new curb cut. The existing curb cut is being maintained at 16.2
feet.
Section 2.7.3.A on page 106 recommends that LS-3, 4 and 5 properties have a greenspace no less than
65% of the lot area. This recommendation has not been met with the optional circle driveway.
City Arborist Recommendation:
October 26, 2021
Plant two large canopy trees in the rear yard and plant another large tree in the front yard towards the north
side. There are two nice pin oaks planted as street trees that will require protective fencing out to their
driplines. There’s a Norway spruce (Southeast portion of the property) and a large hackberry (northeast
corner of the house) that will also require protective fencing to the dripline. This fencing will need to stay in
place for the entire duration of the project and no materials, dumping, trenching or traffic will be permitted in
these areas.
