Petitioner seeks relief from the Monotony Mitigation standards of the Ambleside PUD Ordinance, Exhibit F (Architectural
Standards, Section III.H, to allow the front elevation shown in Exhibit A to this Petition.
This request is sought to permit the largest floorplan and the highest level elevation Pulte offers in Ambleside. The sales price
will be in excess of $800,000. This buyer is ready to purchase now, and without this variance this buyer will not be able to start
building in Ambleside until at lease the second quarter of 2024 when new lots become available. That is because this lot is the
only remaining lot in the current section which this floorplan will fit on. The facades of the homes in question utilize different
building materials and color schemes, and the monotony issue is not with adjacent lots, but rather with homes 2 lot away which
will be less noticeable.
