Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The Ellspermanns original project included the addition of a new outdoor fireplace at the back of their upper terrace near the existing stairs. They are now proposing to relocate the fireplace near the house under an existing roof deck. The fireplace will be a gas insert so a chimney is not required. The sunroom is located atop a large retailing wall so the Ellspermans are proposing a fall protection railing along the east side. It is proposed as a wrought iron railing that will be mounted to the stone wall.

February 21, 2023 #4 Tom & Susan Jones 6716 Cherokee Lane The Joneses are returning to the ARB to present an alternate hardscape layout from the originally approved project. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: Hillside Lot Coverage (Footprint of Roofed Structures): Main floor living area: 3,130 sf Main floor garage area: 550 sf Covered porches: 727 sf Total Lot Coverage: 4,743 sf Summary of Project: The originally approved plan included a significant stone retaining wall spans the width of the rear yard to provide a level space for a large terrace with extensive planting areas. The Joneses are proposing to increase the area of the terrace by extending the wall to the north. At its tallest point, the wall is approximately 6 feet tall. Due to the topography, this patio is aligned with the lower level of the house. The pool is located in the center of this patio, on axis with the main mass of the house. The size of the pool has increased considerably, but the amount of greenspace has not significantly changed. They are proposing to relocate the pool equipment from the south side of the house to the west side of the modified retaining wall. This change does not affect greenspace. An iron fence is proposed across the rear year and along the side property lines. This fence provides required pool protection. A new hot tub and cold plunge is currently shown on the plan, but details have not been provided. These items will be presented at a future meeting. The steel pergola over these elements is being presented at this time. It is a simple post-and-beam structure with an open roof. The pergola stands 8 feet tall and sits on a 30-inch-tall plinth with bluestone capped steps and an iron handrail. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances, provided that the artificial turf specifications meet City requirements.
