#4 Ahead Engineering Various Right of Ways (ROW) and Utility Easements
Ahead Engineering is proposing to install small cell node cellular antennas at multiple locations around the
City to create a network of seven small cell wireless facilities attached to streetlights (5) and utility poles (2),
at locations shown on the attached map.
This project was continued from the November 5th ARB meeting.

#5 Mathew & Mallory Gound 6408 Verona Road
The Gounds are proposing a whole house remodel that includes replacing their existing screened porch with
a new larger porch, and a second-floor addition to the south side of the house.
Summary of Property:
• Character Area: Neighborhood Estates
• Location of Common Green Space: Front
• Any Special Frontages: None
Summary of Project:
At the rear of the house, the existing screened porch will be demolished to make way for a new porch. While
the width will remain the same, the new porch will extend 20 feet from the main structure, approximately 8
feet deeper than the current porch. The proposed porch design is partially enclosed and partially screened,
with all fenestration set into panels to match the screen system. Three new pairs of doors are proposed
along the back side. The current proposal removes all existing patios and walkways, with no plan to replace
them, not even stoops at the new doors.
On the south (left) side of the house, the Gounds propose a second-story addition to a small side wing. The
footprint will remain the same; however, on the second floor, the wing will extend to the rear over the existing
garage. All proposed materials and fenestration will match the main house.
Ordinance Compliance:
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances.

#8 Limonada Trust † 5964 Overhill Road
The owners are proposing a new 2-story addition to their home. The project includes a large patio,
an outdoor kitchen, a swimming pool, a fountain, and a generator.
† This project is a substantial project and was noticed as such.
Summary of Property:
• Character Area: Countryside Estates
• Location of Common Green Space: Front & Side
• Any Special Frontages: Hillside
Lot Coverage Review SF
Main Floor Living Area: 5,828
Main Floor Garage Area: 1,460
Covered Porches: 664
Detached Accessory Buildings: 0
Total Lot Coverage: 7,952
Summary of Project:
The existing house is in the Mediterranean Revival Style with central vertical massing. The
proposed addition removes a small portion of the existing house and adds a substantial new
addition to the north. The proposed plan follows the rambling flow that is typical of Mediterranean-
style homes through the use of compound wings.
The home is sided with a combination of stone and stucco, with stone detailing around the
windows. The fenestration layout is formal at all elevations. Each portion of the house maintains its
symmetrical layout to coordinate across the house. A new entry tower is proposed on the east
side of the house to complement the existing south entry tower. A new garage is proposed in the
northernmost wing. A terraced retaining wall screens the garage.
The main patio is located at the rear of the house on axis with a new covered porch. The patio is
limited to just a few feet around the proposed pool. The outdoor kitchen is located to the east of
the covered porch and consists of a stone base with a stone countertop and built-in appliances. A
formal garden with a new fountain is proposed along the west side of the house.
A significant existing retaining wall will remain along the north side of the property. An existing 6-
foot-tall iron fence encircles the majority of the property. A new extension will connect the existing
fence to the main house.
The HVAC equipment is located in two separate equipment yards, along with the pool equipment.
The proposed generator is located in the northwest corner of the property.
Ordinance Compliance:
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of
Ordinances.

Design Guideline Review:
Section 2.2 on pages 60 through 63 of the Design Guidelines provides specific recommendations
for the Countryside Estates character area.
Due to the existing nature of this home, it technically sits sideways on the lot. The defined front
yard is the east side of the property. However, the existing house faces south and the proposed
plan maintains that approach. The following findings are based on the south side of the house
being considered the front, while the setbacks being enforced assume the front is to the east.
Subsection A recommends that the main mass of the house should be no more than 50% of the
lot width or 80 ft., whichever is greater. The main mass is existing at 94 feet. This section goes on
to recommend that the depth of the main mass should not exceed 40 ft. The existing depth is
approximately 30 feet. The main mass height should be no more than 2 ½ stories and 35 ft. The
existing height is 34.5 feet, and the proposed addition is less. This recommendation has been met.
Lastly, this section recommends that the main mass should sit entirely within the Primary Building
Area. This recommendation has been met.
Also, “With few exceptions, the main mass should be the tallest, widest and most highly visible
massing element of the home. A minimum of 50% of the front facade should be visible from the
street. Front projections such as porches, stoops, bay windows and chimneys that are 6 ft. deep or
less are considered part of the visible main mass front facade. Front porches deeper than 6 ft. that
are 75% open on the street-facing side are considered part of the visible main mass front facade.”
These recommendations have 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 is limited to 2-stories and
should be at least 3 ft. shorter than the main mass. These recommendations have been met.
Subsection C recommends that all side wings be located in the Primary Building Area. The width
of the side wing should be limited to about 15% of the lot width; the combined widths of Side Wings
on both sides should be no more than 25% 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. These recommendations have been met.
November 19, 2024
Subsection D recommends that rear wings located in the Primary Building Areas be no more than
2 stories and 30 ft. in height and should be at least 3 ft. shorter than the main mass. The width of a
rear wing should not exceed 50% of the main mass width. No more than two wings shall encroach
into the Secondary Building Area, and they should be at least 3 ft. shorter than the main mass.
These recommendations have been met.
Subsection G recommends that driveways occupy as little of the Primary Landscape Area as
possible. On lots wider than 140 ft., 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 ft. wide, measured at the front property line, and depth of 40 ft. measured
from the curb. 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. These recommendations have been met.
New Subsection I for roofs: Maximum height: 1.5 times that of the height of the façade below the
eave, except for roofs on one-story homes which can be 2 times that of the façade height below
the eave. Consider adding front dormers or other front projections to break up a roof height
between 1.5 and 2 times taller than the front façade and/or roofs wider than 50 ft. These
recommendations have 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.
Section 2.7.1 B on page 94 recommends that the number of different roof pitches should be limited
to two. All existing tile roofs are a 5.5”:12” slope and the new tiled roofs will match. There are
some flat roof areas at ½”:12” and ¼”:12”. This recommendation has been met.
Section 2.7.1.C on page 95 provides specific recommendations for projecting elements. These
recommendations have 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 not been met. Please note the drive approaches are
existing.
Section 2.7.3.A on page 106 recommends that LS-6 and 7 properties have a greenspace no less
than 70% of the lot area. This recommendation has been met.
November 19, 2024
Section 2.7.3 D on page 110 provides specific recommendations about altering grade and
topography. These recommendations have been met.
Section 2.7.3 E on page 111 provides specific recommendations for Patios and Outdoor
Recreational Facilities. This section recommends that these elements follow the zoning regulations
to help mitigate water runoff and minimize noise from entertainment areas. This recommendation
has been met.

Summary of Project:
The Mediterranean-style home is entirely stucco with a clay tile roof. All the windows feature deep insets with
rolled stucco trim. Nearly all the windows have arched tops or are set in arched-top nooks. The garage is
located in a prominent front/side wing. Another large, covered porch wing is situated at the center of the main
structure. A front/side wing is also located at the west end of the house. The space between the front wings
creates a courtyard for the front entry. Instead of a traditional wall, a hedgerow is proposed to enclose the
courtyard.
The rear of the house is heavily fenestrated and includes a large, covered porch that extends deep into the
backyard. A modest, freeform patio wraps around the rear of the home.
The property is enclosed by a six-foot privacy fence featuring stucco columns at the primary corners and
around the garages.
Ordinance Compliance:
There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances.

Design Guideline Review:
Section 2.5 on pages 72 through 75 of the Design Guidelines provides specific recommendations for the
Suburban character area.
November 19, 2024
Subsection A recommends that the main mass should be located entirely in the Primary Building Area. Its
width should not exceed 50% of the lot width and not exceed 65 ft. At 52 feet this recommendation has been
met. This section goes on to recommend that the depth of the main mass should not exceed 40 ft. At 40 feet
deep, this recommendation has been met. Lastly, this section recommends that the height be restricted to 2
stories and 30 feet. At 1-story and 22.5 feet tall, this recommendation has been met.
With few exceptions, the main mass should be the tallest, widest and most highly visible massing element of
the home. A minimum of 50% of the front facade should be visible from the street. Front projections such as
porches, stoops, bay windows and chimneys that are 6 ft. deep or less are considered part of the visible
main mass front facade. Front porches deeper than 6 ft. that are 75% open on the street-facing side are
considered part of the visible main mass front facade. While the main mass is obscured, this
recommendation has been met.
Subsection B recommends that the total width of front wings not exceed 50% of the main mass width. The
depth should not be greater than the main mass. The height is limited to 1 ½ stories and should be at least 3
ft. shorter than the main mass. The garage wing width is more than 50% of the main mass width, but the
portion in front of the main mass is less than 50%. This recommendation has been met.
Subsection C recommends that side wings be inset a minimum of 3 ft. from the front and rear facades of 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. This recommendation has been met.
Side wings in the Primary and Secondary Building Areas are limited to 1 ½ stories and 24 ft. in height and
should be at least 3 ft. shorter than the main mass. They should also be set behind the front plane of the
main mass. This recommendation has been met.
Side wings located in the Conditional Building Area are allowed if they meet the special conditions in Section
2.6.4 (pg. 88). Only one is allowed. If allowed, the height is limited to 1 story and 16 ft. and should be at
least 3 ft. shorter than the main mass. Side wings in the Conditional Building Area should contain no second
floor or dormer windows that overlook the neighbors. The existing utility easements can be considered a
special lot condition allowing for the house to be located in the Conditional Building Area.
Subsection D recommends that rear wings located in the Conditional Building Area are allowed if they meet
the special conditions in Section 2.6.4 (pg. 88). No more than one shall encroach into the Conditional
Building Area. The rear wing should not exceed 1 story and 16 ft. in height and should be at least 3 ft.
shorter than the main mass. The depth should not exceed 24 feet. These recommendations have been met.
Subsection G recommends that driveways occupy as little of the Primary Landscape Area as possible. On
lots wider than 140 ft., the driveway should be located off the side property line a distance no less than 8% of
the lot width. The proposed driveway is less than 8% from the side of the lot. This was to maintain the
existing curb cut. The driveway quickly shifts towards the center of the lot as it approaches the garages.
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.
Section 2.7.1 B on page 94 recommends that the number of different roof pitches should be limited to two.
This recommendation has been met.
November 19, 2024
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 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 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 D on page 110 provides specific recommendations about altering grade and topography.
Minimal grading is proposed.
Section 2.7.3 E on page 111 provides specific recommendations for courtyards. Courtyards should engage
the main mass of the principal building and provide access to the main entry. They should be oriented
toward the street. Their depth should be between 8 and 16 feet and the width should be greater than the
depth but less than the width of the home’s main mass. The walls should be between 16 and 36 inches.
Entry posts should be limited to 4 feet tall. This recommendation has been met.
Section 2.7.3 E on page 111 provides specific recommendations for Patios and Outdoor Recreational
Facilities. This section recommends that these elements follow the zoning regulations to help mitigate water
runoff and minimize noise from entertainment areas. This recommendation has been met.

Design Guideline Review:
Section 2.4 on pages 68 through 71 of the Design Guidelines provides specific recommendations for the
Traditional Neighborhood character area.
November 19, 2024
Subsection A recommends that the main mass width be no more than 60% of the lot width and no more
than 50 feet. At 44 feet this recommendation has been met. This section goes on to recommend that the
depth of the main mass should not exceed 35 ft. At 34.5 feet deep, this recommendation has been met. The
main mass height should be no more than 2 stories and 30 ft. At 29.5 feet and 1 ½ stories, these
recommendations have been met. This section (for homes in the Traditional Neighborhood) allows the main
mass to extend to the minimum side yard setback. However, Section 2.6.3.A gives recommendations for
corner lots. This section recommends that the main mass be located entirely within the Primary Building
Area. The main mass is located within the Conditional Building Area on the north side. This
recommendation has not been met.
Also, “With few exceptions, the main mass should be the tallest, widest and most highly visible massing
element of the home. A minimum of 50% of the front facade should be visible from the street. Front
projections such as porches, stoops, bay windows and chimneys that are 6 ft. deep or less are considered
part of the visible main mass front facade. Front porches deeper than 6 ft. that are 75% open on the street-
facing side are considered part of the visible main mass front facade.” These recommendations have been
met.
Subsection B recommends that only one front wing be allowed, and its width should not exceed 50% of the
main mass width. The depth should not be greater than the width. The height is limited to 1 ½ stories and
should be at least 3 ft. shorter than the main mass. Exceptions are large front gables on Tudor homes and
other central entry projections that are common on styles such as Mediterranean Revival, French Country,
and Craftsman; and for "Gable-Front-and-Wing" style of homes where a single gabled-wing is added to one
end of the front of the home. The location should be near the front building line. These recommendations
have been met.
Subsection D recommends that only one rear wing be allowed on a property. A rear wing located in the
Primary or Secondary Building Areas should be no more than 1 ½ stories and 24 ft. in height and should be
at least 3 ft. shorter than the main mass. A rear wing should have a width of no more than 24 ft. A rear wing
that extends into the Conditional Building Area is allowed if it meets the special conditions in Section 2.6.4
(pg. 88). Only one is allowed. If allowed in the Conditional Building Area by the Architectural Review
Board, the wing height should not exceed 1 ½ stories and 24 ft. with eaves no taller than 12 ft. It should be at
least 3 ft. shorter than the main mass. All of these recommendations have been met, except for the height.
Due to the slope of the property, a full walk-out basement has been provided which makes the rear wing
approximately 36 feet tall. Discussion is recommended.
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. The proposed driveway is a direct drive as is typical of the Traditional neighborhood
character area.
Subsection I for roofs: Maximum height: 1.5 times that of the height of the façade below the eave, except
for one-story homes which can be 2 times that of the façade height below the eave. Consider adding front
dormers or other front projections to break up a roof height between 1.5 and 2 times taller than the front
façade and/or roofs wider than 50 ft. These recommendations have been met.
Section 2.6.2 on page 79 provides specific recommendations for adjustments to narrow lots (less than 130 ft.
wide) OR houses less than 30 ft. apart. The proposed home is 20.5 feet from the house to the north. The
eave and ridge heights of the proposed home are comparable to the ridge and eave heights of the adjacent
house.
November 19, 2024
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.
Section 2.7.1 B on page 94 recommends that the number of different roof pitches should be limited to two.
This recommendation has been met.
Section 2.7.1.C on page 95 provides specific recommendations for projecting elements. This
recommendation has 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. The garage is incorporated into the main mass.
Section 2.7.2.B on page 102 recommends drives to be no more than 12 feet wide at the property line. At 15
feet, this recommendation has not 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.
Section 2.7.3 D on page 110 provides specific recommendations about altering grade and topography. The
only significant grading proposed is where the existing driveway was removed. The proposed grading
creates a swale that directs water around the house to the street and away from the neighbors.
City Arborist Review: Tree inventory of the property above has been made. The Mojo Built site plan for tree
removal has been approved and the trees that are not removed will require protection from construction, per
City Ordinance 509-4. During the utility shut off a large Pin Oak located up front up was harmed and
sustained considerable root damage. Mojo Built has been notified and the city will require them to remove
the tree and replace the tree with two approved trees on sight by the end of the building process.
