Design Guideline Review: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Design Guidelines Lot Information Zoning: R-1(10)/LS-1 Lot Area: 14,315 sf Lot Width: 90’ Ordinance/Design Guideline Allowable/Required Provided Patio/Pool Minimum Side Yard: 15’ 25.8’ Patio/Pool Minimum Rear Yard: 15’ 18.9’ Minimum Greenspace: 60% = 8,589 sf 9,262 sf = 64.7% *Property owners indicated proposed greenspace will be 59%; however, the City’s measurements of the plan indicate it will be 55%. Drainage Study Required if any answer below is “Yes” Yes/No Is the project adding 1,000 sq. ft. or more of impervious surface? No Will the project cause the greenspace to be less than recommended by the Design No Guidelines? Has there been a documented drainage complaint against the property?

Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: In July of 2022, the ARB approved a fountain in the rear yard. Mr. Dyer is now proposing to omit the fountain and install an urn on a 2 ft. x 2 ft. concrete pad. This eliminates a variance and dramatically improves his greenspace calculation. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: Section 2.7.3.A on page 106 recommends that LS-1 and 2 properties have a greenspace no less than 60% of the lot area. This recommendation has not been met. Greenspace Review: • Lot area 15,525 sf (calculated using property survey) • Existing non-greenspace area 7,650.72 sf • Existing greenspace 7,874.28 sf = 50.72% • Non-greenspace being added 4 sf • Remaining greenspace 7,870.28 sf = 50.69% November 15, 2022 #8 Hank & Vickie Bradley 2910 West 69th Street The Bradleys are proposing to replace 6 windows at the front of their home. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The proposed windows match the layout of other windows on the house, but only have muntin bars between the glass. 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 doors and windows. This section suggests that windows be simulated divided light windows with applied muntins at the exterior, at the insulated air space, and at the interior. This recommendation has not been met. November 15, 2022 #9 Farid Namin 6520 State Line Road Mr. Namin is proposing a new front door. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The new front door is solid panel door with a small view light.

Design Guideline Review: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Design Guidelines November 15, 2022 #10 Farid Namin 6520 State Line Road Mr. Namin is proposing multiple window changes. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: In May of 2022, the ARB approved a project for Mr. Namin to replace a few windows throughout his house. The revised layout is adding more windows to the original scope. Clarification is required about existing windows that have clearly been replaced but are not indicated in this or previous proposals. These windows are of concern because they have snap-in muntin bars, rather than full simulated divided lights as typically requested by the ARB. 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 doors and windows. This section suggests that windows be simulated divided light windows with applied muntins at the exterior, at the insulated air space, and at the interior. This recommendation has not been met. November 15, 2022 #11 Laura Hammond 6439 Ensley Lane Ms. Hammond is proposing a new screened porch and a patio extension at the rear of her house. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Lot Coverage Review: Existing Lot Coverage: 2,600 sf Porch Addition: 275 sf Main floor garage area: 400 sf Covered porches: 190 sf Detached Accessory Buildings: 0 sf Total Lot Coverage: 3,465 sf Summary of Project: The proposed screened porch is designed as an extension to an existing rear wing. The existing wing has a flat roof and the new porch will have a standing seam hipped roof. Due to the grade of the rear yard, the finished floor of the porch is approximately 4 feet above grade. The foundation of the porch includes brick pilons extending to the first floor with a lattice infill. The existing patio is near the same elevation as the first floor of the house. With the proposed patio extension, they are maintaining the same elevation. At the rear of the patio, a new set of concrete and brick steps will transition to finished grade.

Subsection D suggests that rear wings located in the primary building area can have an unlimited depth, but the width should be no more than 50% of the main mass width. Their height should be limited to 1 ½ stories and 24 feet and clearly less than the main mass. These recommendations have been met. Section 2.7.3.A on page 106 recommends that LS-1 and 2 properties have a greenspace no less than 60% of the lot area. This recommendation has been met.

WHEREAS, Section 5-140 of the Zoning Regulations established the Architectural Review Board ("ARB") for the purposes of ensuring that all structures within the City conform to certain minimum architectural and aesthetic standards of appearance and all structures conform with surrounding structures; preventing the erection of structures detrimental to the stability of values of surrounding properties; ensuring the conformity to the design principles of the Comprehensive Plan; and promoting the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the City; WHEREAS, Section 5-144 of the Zoning Regulations requires the ARB to annually determine certain exterior work that is or would be routinely approved by the ARB within District R-1, describe such exterior work in adequate detail, and certify that such exterior work conforms to the Zoning Regulations and Design Guidelines and is approved in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 5-146 so that no further ARB approval shall be required for the issuance of a building permit for such exterior work ("Certified Exterior Work"); and WHEREAS, the ARB desires to adopt this Resolution to identify Certified Exterior Work. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ARB: SECTION 1. The exterior work specifically identified in Attachment 1 to this Resolution constitutes Certified Exterior Work that conforms to the Zoning Regulations and Design Guidelines (unless sufficient justification for deviating from the Design Guidelines is specified in Attachment 1) and is hereby approved by the ARB in consideration of and in accordance with the standards set forth in Sections 5-144 and 5-146 of the Zoning Regulations. SECTION 2. The City Administrator or designee is authorized to determine whether any proposed exterior work constitutes Certified Exterior Work in accordance with this Resolution, and if not, the proposed exterior work shall be submitted to the ARB for consideration pursuant to Section 5-145 of the Zoning Regulations. SECTION 3. This Resolution shall be effective upon adoption by the ARB. APPROVED by the ARB this 15th day of November, 2022.  Attachment 1 Certified Exterior Work Capitalized terms used in this Attachment 1 are defined in Section 5-103 of the Zoning Regulations.
