Merrie & David Costello 5910 Oakwood Road The Costellos are returning to the ARB with changes to their previously approved project. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: At the July 15, 2025, ARB meeting, the ARB approved an addition at the rear of the Costello’s home. The original approval had a fireplace centered on the rear gable with windows flanking each side. They are now proposing to place the fireplace off-center with smaller flanking windows. Ordinance Compliance: A variance for the project was previously granted. The proposed changes do not affect it. Design Guideline Review: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Design Guidelines. July 28, 2026 #2 R&B Restore LLC 6455 Overbrook Road The owners are returning to the ARB with changes to their previously approved project. The changes include a new deck and new garage doors. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Traditional • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The original approval was primarily for window replacements. The new deck is located at the rear and sides of the house. The supports and railings are not clear in provided drawings. Clarification is required. An existing window will be converted to a pair of French doors. The proposed garage doors are simple flat panel doors. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances.

July 28, 2026 #3 James & Lauren Sotos 5820 Oakwood Road The owners are proposing a new back patio with a fire pit and outdoor kitchen. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: Their existing patio is a free form shape that connects the pool deck to the back of the house. The proposed patio will replace that patio in approximately the same location, only slightly smaller. The material of the proposed patio will be bluestone. A new gas fire pit is proposed near the center of the patio and a new outdoor kitchen with bar seating is proposed at the eastern end. The fire pit and kitchen are proposed as brick with cast stone caps. As part of the project, a new stone retaining wall is proposed near the rear of the property where a second existing patio is being removed. Approximately 900 sq. ft. of patio space is being removed collectively. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances. Greenspace Review SF Lot Area: 29,459 Existing House: -2,945 Existing Driveway, & Walkway: -7,440 Existing HVAC Pads: -38 Revised Patio: -1,245 Pool & Pool Deck: -2,230 Stepping Stone Walkway: -164 Misc. Walls: -128 Shed: -75 Remaining Greenspace: 15,194 = 51.58% Design Guideline Review: 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 not been met; however, the project increases the greenspace on the property.

They are also proposing a rear covered patio and large open patio. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Traditional Neighborhood • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Lot Coverage Review SF Existing House: 1,863 Rear Addition: 260 Total Lot Coverage: 2,123 Summary of Project: The second-floor addition over the garage is proposed to be set back from the face of the garage. This allows for an eyebrow roof to be maintained over the doors. The depth of the addition is relatively shallow. The addition at the rear of the garage aligns with the side of the garage and extends to align with an existing rear wing. The addition has a flat roof that will be an accessible roof deck. Since the addition is on a wing, it does not affect the visibility of the main mass of the house. The proposed covered porch is a simple shed roof supported by columns and pilasters at the back of a rear wing. New French doors are proposed to replace an existing window. A new second floor window is proposed over the new porch. An existing bay window is being removed, and a new extension with French doors is proposed with an eyebrow roof. The brick patio is proposed to replace a smaller brick patio in the same area. To the side of the garage, a new bin storage shed is proposed. It is constructed to match the house with three large doors for access. Ordinance Compliance: There are no conflicts between the proposed project and the City of Mission Hills Code of Ordinances.

A variance of approximately 10 feet is required.
