May 21, 2024 #5 Gabe & Megan Egli 2810 W 68th Street The Eglis are returning to the ARB to present a project previously withdrawn. At the February 13, 2024 meeting, the ARB requested that the project be reviewed by the City’s Professional Review Panel before returning to the ARB on March 26, 2024. The project was continued to this meeting from the May 7th ARB meeting. The Eglis are proposing a whole house remodel that includes additions to the rear and front of the home. The roof structure will be changed to a lower pitch allowing for a more prominent second floor. A new covered porch and outdoor kitchen are proposed as part of the project. This project was continued at the September 27, 2022 meeting, where the ARB requested a streetscape, roof plan, alternative front elevation, and a sample of the proposed siding. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Lot Coverage Review: Existing House: 2,056 sf Additions: 178 sf Covered porches: 324 sf Detached Accessory Buildings: 0 sf Total Lot Coverage: 2,558 sf Summary of Project: At the front of the house, an existing mansard roof is being changed to a full gable with large windows. The roof of the adjacent side wing is being removed, and the eave lines are proposed to be raised to the second- floor plate line. The new roof will have a significantly lower pitch to align with the main ridge of the new gable roof. A new flat awning roof is proposed over the front door. The existing brick siding will be maintained, and all new walls and the gable will be sided with lap siding. At the rear of the house, a new two-story addition is proposed near the center of the house. A new covered porch extends from the rear of the house, within which the proposed outdoor kitchen is located. The kitchen consists of a concrete base cabinet with a grill and sink. All of the home’s windows will be replaced with new clear-view units, in keeping with the contemporary design intent. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. May 21, 2024 Greenspace Review: Lot area: 18,293 sf House Footprint: 2,558 sf Driveway and Front Walkway: 2,110 sf Patios and walkways: 543 sf Remaining Greenspace: 13,082 sf (71.5%) Design Guideline Review: Section 2.6.2 on page 79 provides recommendations for adjustments for narrow lots. This section recommends that floor elevations and plate heights are in scale with the neighboring homes. With the change and roof pitch and dramatic increase in eave height, the proposed house may no longer be in scale with the adjacent ranch homes. Discussion is recommended. Section 2.7.1 B on page 94 suggests that the number of different roof pitches should be limited to two. The proposal contains three roof pitches – 9/12, 2.25/12, and 4.75/12. This recommendation has not been met. Section 2.7.3.A on page 106 recommends that LS-1 and 2 properties have greenspace no less than 60% of the lot area. This recommendation has been met. Professional Review Panel Recommendation: The PRP recommended that the ARB approve the project with the following changes: • Elevations that show which windows are existing, which are being removed, and which are new. • Add existing home outline in red on elevation drawings. • Change the front walkway to no more than 5 feet wide. • Decrease the eave depth as well as fascia height. • Keep brick height at the height of the bottom of the windows on the front wing of the home. • Provide alternatives to the east elevation (windows, fenestration, or detailing). • Eliminate one of the roof pitches. Update 4/30/2024 Updated drawings were provided that addressed all of the PRP concerns.
