• • large portions of the property exceeding a 20% slope. Flat portions of the site are limited to the small pads that were created for the existing structures. The elevations of the subject site range from 450 feet along Old Vineyard Avenue to 670 feet at the top of the ridge near the southern property line. The property has a large number of native blue oak trees and smaller numbers of valley oak, eucalyptus, California buckeye, and willow trees. The property is bordered on the west by the Roberts parcel and residence (1666 Frog Hill Lane, formerly Vineyard Avenue), on the east by Greenbriar Homes' Bordeaux Country Estates development (currently under construction), and on the south by the Foley parcel. Centex Homes' Avingnon development (soon to be under construction) and the Safreno parcel and residence (1627 Safreno Place, formerly Vineyard Avenue) are located north of the subject site, across Old Vineyard Avenue. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicants are requesting approval to construct a new home and pool house. T'he existing residence and its detached garage.would be retained and the existing guest house would be demolished. The existing house would be located on its own separate parcel. The six lower lots shown on the revised site plan are not presently proposed (please see the previously distributed plans for the proposed vineyard in the lower LDR portion of the lot). Below is a description of the proposed single-family residence and accessory structure: A 13,165-square-foot, two-story home with a habitable basement and a 1,345-square-foot, four-car attached garage are proposed. A 130-square-foot pool house would be located on the eastern side of the home. .The applicants propose to site the proposed home on a knoll near the ridgeline. The knoll would be cut up to 40 feet to accommodate a lower, flat building pad. Access to the proposed house would be from a 12- to 16-foot wide private drive that generally follows the location of the existing road to the existing residence. The drive would be extended approximately 400 feet up the ridge to serve the proposed home site. A significant number of trees would likely be removed to accommodate the proposed development. The tree report included trees needed to be removed for the previously proposed barn/winery and second unit structures, which are now omitted from the project scope. This may result in fewer trees needing to be removed from the upper portion of development than originally thought. An "Italian villa" design is proposed for the Sarich residence. The two-story home would measure approximately 37.8 feet at the top of the cupola and would have a midpoint height of approximately 29 feet at the main roof ridge. PUD-32 Page - 3 - September 28, 2005
