#6 Sean & Christina Hogan 6616 Wenonga Terrace
The Hogans are proposing a new second story addition over an existing side wing.
Summary of Property:
• Character Area: Neighborhood Estates
• Location of Common Green Space: Front
• Any Special Frontages: Intersection Green
Summary of Project:
The proposed ½ story addition sits atop an existing side wing. Wall dormers are proposed at the front of the
wing to match the dormers on the opposite side wing. A new box bay cantilevers out from the new addition
into the side yard. All of the materials, detailing and fenestration match the main house.
Ordinance Compliance:
Section 5-132.B.3.(a) allows bay windows to project up to 3 feet into the minimum side yard. 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 C recommends that the width of each side wing should be limited to about 20% of the lot width;
the combined widths of Side Wings on both sides should be no more than 30% of the lot width.
Side wings should be inset a minimum of 3 ft. from the front and rear facades of the main mass. The height
should be at least 3 ft. shorter than the main mass. Side wings that extend in front of or behind the main
mass should extend at least 3 ft. past the main mass façade. They should have a depth and height clearly
less than the main mass. Side wings located in the Conditional Building Area are allowed if they meet the
special conditions in Section 2.6.4 (pg. 88). If allowed, the height is limited to 1 ½ stories or 24 feet and
should be at least 3 ft. shorter than the main mass. Side wings should contain no second floor or dormer
windows that overlook the neighbors. The proposed side wing modification meets all of these
recommendations with the exception of the side window. A second-floor box bay window is proposed that
could be considered looming over the neighbor. Discussion is recommended. Please note that this
window overlooks the neighbor’s driveway.
Section 2.7.1.C on page 95 provides recommendations for projecting elements. The proposed box bay
meets these recommendations.

#8 Timothy & Amantha Burgess * 6535 Belinder Avenue
The Burgesses are proposing a new patio room, outdoor kitchen and pergola at the back of their home.
They are also proposing to replace their existing pool coping and replace a section of patio.
Summary of Property:
• Character Area: Neighborhood Estates
• Location of Common Green Space: Front
• Any Special Frontages: None
Summary of Project:
The proposed patio room is a new rear wing at the northeast corner of the house. The north and east sides
have large fixed clear view windows and the south side is a series of large glass doors. The rest of the
materials and detailing match the main house. A new fireplace is proposed at the north elevation.
The proposed pergola stretches from the new patio room wing to an existing rear wing at the opposite end of
the house. The pergola lines up with the existing eave line except for a section at the rear entry that bumps
up another 3’-7”. The pergola extends approximately 8 feet from the face of the eaves. The patio area
under the pergola is being replaced with a new patio at the same elevation as the patio room floor. This is
approximately 18 inches above the existing pool deck. A new patio addition is proposed at the north side of
the pool.
The outdoor kitchen is a simple stone counter with stainless steel appliances. It is located under the pergola.
Ordinance Compliance:
The project is in violation of city code section 5-120 A 1 (c) that requires LS-5 lots to have a minimum side
yard setback no less than 15% of the lot width. A variance of 5.1 feet is required. Please note that the
proposed addition aligns with the existing house.
The project is further in violation of code section 5-120 D that requires patios and pool decks be located at
least 20 feet from the side or rear property line. The pool patio extension at the north side of the pool is only
12 feet from the property line. A variance of 8 feet is required.

#9 Nicholas Hinrichs 3300 W 69th Street
Mr. Hinrichs is proposing a new walkway and stoop in his front yard. The pillars and patio have been
removed from the scope of the project.
The project was continued to the December 12th meeting so additional revisions could be made.
Summary of Property:
• Character Area: Suburban
• Location of Common Green Space: Front
• Any Special Frontages: None
Summary of Project:
At the front of the house, a new walkway is proposed to connect from the driveway hammer head to the front
door. This new walkway extends the hammer head an additional 8 feet into the front yard. This walkway
connects to an 11-foot square patio in the front yard. This patio works as a hub for walkways extending back
to the driveway, to the front door, and to another front patio at a side wing. All of the proposed walkways and
patios are brick with brick borders.
At the sides of the driveway, near the hammer head, two new pillars are proposed to flank the driveway.
Two new pillars are also proposed at the front east patio.
11/22/2023 Update:
Revised drawings have been provided that eliminate the entry pillars and several walkways. The patio near
the house has been reduced, but not eliminated.
12/6/2023 Update:
The Hinrichs provided updated plans as requested. The front walkway has been modified to eliminate all
internal patios. It is not dimensioned, but scales to be 4 feet wide. The stoop at the southeast corner of the
house has grown slightly since the last submittal, It is not dimensioned but scales to be the maximum
allowed 60 sf. The remainder of the home’s hardscape has been identified, including the previously approved
pool project that has not yet been constructed. The greenspace review table (below) has been updated with
the revised areas. While the minimum greenspace number has not been met, the amount of greenspace
has improved.
Ordinance Compliance:
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances.

#10 Property Owner 2111 Stratford Road
The owners are proposing a new 2-story home with a 4,306 sq. ft. footprint. The footprint consists of 2,482
sq. ft. of first floor living space, an 868 sq. ft. 3-car garage, and 918 sq. ft. of covered porches. The project
includes a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, and a backup generator.
Summary of Property:
• Character Area: Neighborhood Estates
• Location of Common Green Space: Front
• Any Special Frontages: None
Lot Coverage Review SF
Main Floor Living Area: 2,482
Main Floor Garage Area: 956
Covered Porches: 868
Detached Accessory Buildings: 0
Total Lot Coverage: 4,306
Summary of Project:
The proposed house is a Tudor revival style. It is sided with a combination of timbered stucco and shingle
siding. Brick and stone accents are provided at selected elements. The windows all are fixed or casements
with Colonial muntin grids. The window arrangement is formal at the front of the house and becomes less so
at the rear and the sides. All details and materials are in keeping with the selected design style.
A small first floor porch is proposed at the front of the house. It sits behind the front building plane so there
are no issues with its location. A second-floor front balcony is proposed over the front entry. Again, this
location is allowed by ordinance.
The driveway is a simple direct driveway that connects to a small auto court at the east side of the house and
provides access to the two garages. A concrete walkway connects the driveway to the home’s front entry.
Due to the slope of the property, the home has a full walk-out basement. The proposed pool is located at
this lower level. A low retaining wall is indicated along the west side of the pool allowing it to be recessed
into the grade so the southern edge is at existing grade. A brick and stone staircase connects the lower
patio to a first floor terrace. The outdoor kitchen is located at the terrace level, along with the screened
porch.
The proposed generator and A/C equipment are located at the southeast corner of the house. The pool
equipment is located under the garage in the same area.
Ordinance Compliance:
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances.

December 12, 2023
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 recommends that the main mass of the house should not exceed 50% of the lot width. At 57’-
1” (49%) this recommendation has been met. This section goes on to recommend that the depth of the main
mass should not exceed 40 ft. At 26’ feet deep, this recommendation has been met.
Subsection B recommends that the total width of all front wings not exceed 50% of the main mass width.
The depth should not be greater than the width. The height must be at least 3 ft. shorter than the main
mass; however, exceptions are allowed for tall front gables on Tudor homes. The location should be near
the front building line. These recommendations have been met.
Subsection C recommends that side wings should be set in a minimum of 3 ft. from the front and rear façade
of the main mass. Side wings should be at least 3 ft. shorter than the main mass. The garage wing is set
back from the front façade but aligns with the proposed rear wing. This recommendation has not been
met.
Subsection D recommends that rear wings be at least 3 ft. shorter than the main mass. Portions of the rear
wing match the height of the main mass. The section goes on to recommend that 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. The proposed house has a single large rear
wing the full width of the main mass and incorporates the garage side wing making it wider than the main
mass. These recommendations have not been met.
Subsection F recommends that dormers located on wings or accessory buildings located in the Secondary or
Conditional Building Areas should not be oriented toward any neighboring lots. This recommendation has
been met.
Subsection G recommends 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. These recommendations have been met.
Subsection H allows for compound wings where a secondary wing is attached to a primary wing. The
primary wing should follow all the requirements stated above and the secondary wing should be clearly
subordinate to the primary wing. The proposed side wing is attached to a non-compliant wing so this
recommendation cannot be fully evaluated.
Subsection I recommends that roofs have a maximum height of 1.5 times the height of the façade below the
eave. This recommendation has been met.
Section 2.6.4 on page 89 of the Design Guidelines provides recommendations for lot coverage. The section
recommends 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 recommending that homes avoid reaching more
than 2 minimum/maximum setbacks or limits. This recommendation has been met. This section also
recommends the conditional building area be free of the main mass and wings. A small portion of the rear
terrace extends less than a foot into the conditional building area. This recommendation has been met.
December 12, 2023
Section 2.7.1 B on page 94 recommends that the number of different roof pitches should be limited to two.
The project primarily uses 12/12 and 15.5/12. The dormers use a lower slope which is customary in Tudor
design. A low slope roof is used between the two main gables at the rear elevation. This recommendation
has not 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 been met.
Section 2.7.2.B on page 102 recommends drives to 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-3, 4 and 5 properties have a greenspace no less than
65% of the lot area. This recommendation has been met.
Section 2.7.3.E.2 on page 111 gives recommendations for terraces. These recommendations have been
met.
