No new evidence will be considered. #1 Stuart & Megan Maffry 2721 W 68th Street The Maffrys are returning to the ARB to present changes to their previously approved new home. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Lot Coverage Review SF Main Floor Living Area: 2,614 Main Floor Garage Area: 926 Covered Porches: 510 Detached Accessory Buildings: 0 Total Lot Coverage: 4,050 Summary of Project: During the approval processes, the ARB required that all the proposed stonework be full-depth stone and not thin stone veneer. The Maffrys are proposing to use thin stone veneer at the outdoor fireplace within the covered porch. The design is such that there are no outside corners, and all of the stone is protected from the weather. The proposed stone matches the full-depth stone used at the house's exterior. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: The Design Guidelines generally discourage the use of thin stone veneer.

Summary of Project: The club is proposing refined details to the court facing maintenance buildings. Changes include: • Removal of the cupola • Changing to a residential style front door. • Splitting the paired windows into individual double-hung windows with shutters. • Adding windows to the previously blank end. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Design Guideline Review: The Design Guidelines do not apply to country club properties. August 13, 2024 #3 Farid Namin 6520 State Line Road Mr. Namin is proposing to replace his existing driveway and add a new portion to create a circle drive. This project was reviewed in 2022 before the homeowner withdrew. The ARB requested that the driveway be redesigned to reduce the new drive width to be no more than 12 feet at the property line. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Suburban • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The new circle drive will be formed by connecting a new 12-foot-wide drive to his existing 18-foot-wide driveway. The new circle portion of the driveway is 12 feet wide. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Greenspace Review SF Lot Area: 16,267 House Footprint: -2,794 Existing Rear Deck: -300 Exiting Driveway: -1,150 Proposed Driveway Addition: -1,410 Remaining Greenspace: 10,613 65.2% Design Guideline Review: Section 2.5 on pages 72 through 75 of the Design Guidelines provides specific recommendations for the Suburban character area. 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. Circle driveways should have an interior green with a width no less than 80 feet wide, measured at the front property line, and depth of 40 feet measured from the curb. The proposed driveway has an interior green 60 feet wide and 57 feet deep. This recommendation has not 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 not been met for the existing driveway that is being replaced. 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. Please note, that the owner did not include any rear decks or patios in their greenspace study, these have been added by the city staff.
