Will you approve and cause the change, at their request (application), to the Gateway PUD the following language found in the "PUD Design Criteria" under subheading "Land Use Summary" sub - subheading "Residential (Block 1) ", sub - sub -sub heading and criteria, less underline: From "Maximum Building Height — Lots 1 & 2 Block 1 shall be 1 story with 26' Maximum Building Height", to read "Maximum Building Height — Lots 1 & 2 Block 1 shall be 1 or 2 stories with 26' Maximum Building Height ". The Gateway PUD Block 1, of which Nell / Weiss owned Lot No. 1, is a part, states: "Maximum Building Height — 26' (Lots -3 — 9) Lots 1 & 2 Block 1 shall be 1 Story with 26 Maximum Building Height" See the attached copies of the Gateway Planned Unit Development including a partial sheet of the 'Design Criteria` It is our belief that if the house is 26' maximum building height, then it fulfills the intent of the Planned Unit Development and any other restrictions of height on Lot 1 and in fact improves the conditions for the purpose the language was intended and for the Copper Hill neighborhood. That reasoning is as follows. 1. The house will be 25' 6" in height. This satisfies any view criteria originally established as the maximum actual building height in unchanged. The number stones bears no effect upon building height as the effective and ultimate limitation of the PUD is the Maximum Building Height of 26 feet. 2. The roof, as proposed, is a lower sloped roof, 4:12 slope. If the residence were to be a one story structure, the architect would recommend a 6.12 slope with the greater space allowed so as to create a preferred design aesthetic and so as to create a greater attic volume dissipating heat vertically towards the ridge and more successfully as part of the attic ventilation system. 3. The house as proposed is placed upon the site so as to create a view corridor for the Copper Hill neighbors to the East, across McCaslin including as they drive along Copper Hill Court in a westerly direction.
