The proposed house would be located at the top of the ridge near the southern property line. The applicants propose to cut the existing ridgeline up to 40 feet (depth) to construct a large flat pad for the residence. The quantities of cut and fill are presently unknown. 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. Approximately 62 trees would be removed to accommodate the proposed residence, accessory structures, and the upper portion of the private road. Although not indicated on the tree removal plan or discussed in the tree report, staff believes that additional trees may need to be removed to accommodate the lower portion of the private road. A 13,165-square-foot, two-story home with a habitable basement and a 1,345-square-foot, four-car attached garage is proposed. Other structures proposed on this lot include an 880- square-foot guest home (second unit) on the northwest side of the proposed home; an approximately 2,000-square-foot "winery/barn" structure located north of the house and slightly down the ridge (no plans were provided for this structure); and a 130-square-foot pool house on the eastern side of the home. 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 (building height in the Specific Plan area is measured from the lowest elevation of the building to the highest elevation of the building, excluding chimneys). 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. In the LDR portion of the property, a series of stepped benches would be graded and planted with vineyards until the land is developed with homes. A landscape plan is included with the plans. IV. CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE WORKSHOP This workshop is the Commission's opportunity to direct the applicant and staff as to issues it wishes to be addressed.
