Address Applicant PDR 1913400 1368 Winchester Avenue Edward Hagobian To construct a new one-story, 2,535 square-foot single-family residence and an attached two-car garage on an 8,477 square-foot lot in the R1 , District I zone. Design Review: Board Member Motion Second Yes No Absent Abstain Arzoumanian X X Benlian X Boyajyan X Simonian X Welch X X Totals 4 0 1 DRB Decision Approve with conditions Conditions: 1. The overall detailing of the residence shall be one consistent style, which is implemented throughout the residence . 2. Amend the design of the front porch columns to be less bulky in appearance. 3. Raise the height of the stone wainscot to the sill height of the left front window (front fa9ade) and use a cap stone. 4. Alter detailing of the front porch railing and all gates and fences to be more sympathetic to the craftsman style. 5. Eliminate the cast stone window surround at the street facing fa9ade and use similar detailing as other windows or use a simpler, less bulky profile surround. 6. Windows shall be a darker fiberglass color; and the trim color, including the fascia, railings columns and entry door shall be coordinated. Analysis :

Site Planning: The proposed site planning is appropriate, as modified by any proposed conditions, to the site and its surroundings for the following reasons: • The 35-foot street-front setback of the proposed residence and its overall site planning are consistent with the homes on this block of Winchester Avenue. • The attached rear garage de-emphasizes this feature and is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. • Mechanical equipment along the side of the proposed residence screen them from view from the street. • The landscape design features drought-tolerant plants. Mass and Scale: The proposed massing and scale are appropriate, as modified by any proposed conditions, to the site and its surroundings for the following reasons: • While the proposed residence will be the largest in the neighborhood, its one-story design and rear garage successfully integrate the residence into the neighborhood. • The modest one-story front entryway is appropriately scaled . • Side yard setbacks are varied, providing appropriate relief to adjoining properties. Design and Detailing: The proposed design and detailing are appropriate, as modified by any proposed conditions, to the site and its surroundings for the following reasons: • The porch railings, fences and gates and porch columns shall be redesigned for consistency with the Craftsman style. • The entry is modest in scale and, as conditioned, the house will be a cohesive design. • As conditioned, windows will be a darker fiberglass material and coordinated with paint color of all other trim and detailing. • Trash area is well-hidden.

DESIGN REVIEW BOARD RECORD OF DECISION Meeting Date October 10, 2019 ORB Case No. Address Applicant PDR 1908439 1833 -1851 Victory Blvd. Ben and Alex Goretsky Project Summary: The applicant is requesting approval of three murals at an existing commercial complex. All three of the murals are already installed. Two face Irving Avenue and one faces Allen Avenue. Design Review: Board Member Motion Second Yes No Absent Abstain Arzoumanian X X Benlian X Boyajyan X Simonian X X Welch X Totals 5 0 0 ORB Decision Deny Analysis: The Design Review Board based their denial decision on the fact that the applicant did not follow through with meeting previous conditions of approval and has continued to install murals prior to receiving approval. Additionally, the Board maintains that murals facing residential streets would detract from the site and surrounding area. ORB Staff Member Roger Kiesel
