• • A color photograph of the color/material board for the Sarich Residence has been provided which shows peach-colored stucco walls, tan-colored cast stone wainscot, and a mixture of red-, orange-, and peach-colored Mission-style clay roof tiles. Standing seam copper roofing would be used for the. cupola and dormers. A color/material board will be available for viewing at the workshop. At the~northerly portion of the site designated as LDR, a series of stepped benches would be graded and planted with vineyards until the land is developed with homes. A landscape plan is also included with the plans. III. CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE WORKSHOP This workshop is the Commission's opportunity to direct the applicants and staff as to issues it wishes to be addressed. The areas noted below are those on which staff would find the Commission's input most helpful. Site and Grading Plans Staff has compiled the following excerpts of the Specific Plan that the Commission may consider when reviewing the site and grading plans: 1. Land Use Objective 7 (p. 16) -Preserve the major ridgeline in the southern Plan Area, limit development of hilltop areas to homes that can be substantially screened from off-site areas, and limit hillside development to areas that can physically and visually accommodate it without disrupting the natural character of the site. 2. Land Use Objective 8 (p. 17) -Ensure that future development of the hilly areas located south of Vineyard Avenue is designed to emphasize the rural character through careful siting of buildings, minimal disruption to the physical terrain, and sensitive architectural and landscape treatments. 3. Physical Planning Concept (p. 17) -The land use plan is intended to facilitate a smooth transition between the urban edge of Pleasanton to the west and the Ruby Hill development to the east. The design concept requires environmentally-sensitive site planning and design of development in the hillside areas south of Vineyard Avenue and the integration of vineyards with other land uses north of Vineyard Avenue, organized to create a functional and attractive visual entry to the Livermore Valley wine country. 4. Physical Planning Concept (p. 17) -Residential development in Subarea 3 is to be sited so as to preserve significant natural features such as major ridgelines and hilltop areas, woodland, and riparian corridors. Development generally consists of clusters of custom homes PUD-32 Page - 4 - September 28, 2005
