Discussion ensued regarding the setback requirements for accessory structures. Mr. Pavan noted r that a major modification would be needed to change these requirements set forth in the Specific Plan. Commissioner Roberts noted that there was agreement that Lot 33 should be single-story, and that Lot 31 should be deleted. Commissioner Maas asked that staff confirm the number of heritage trees that are being removed. Commissioner Roberts stated that with regard to the estate lot, she is opposed to having the barn and the other three buildings away from the house and next to the school. She stated that this equipment should be next to the house. She questioned the actual site ofthe well on this property. She advised that the house and all of the out buildings on the estate lot should be on a one-acre parcel in accordance with the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan, and that to do otherwise would mean that the Specific Plan must be changed. Commissioner Roberts noted that the Specific Plan does not have any reference to "root stock," and she would like to amend Condition #6 to delete the reference to "root stock" and the add wording "as stated in the Specific Plan." r Chairperson Sullivan advised that he appreciates what the applicant has put together and the level of expertise of the Vineyard Development Plan, but he is still a little uncomfortable with the plan because it still allows for a lot of chemical spraying, and he is sensitive to it because of the location next to the school. He suggested that a condition of approval be included that the applicant and the applicant's consultant work with the City to see how the U.C. Davis statewide pest management program guidelines can be incorporated into the plan for this project. He stated that he would also like to encourage the applicant to examine the CCOF Handbook from an organic practices and list of materials standpoint, to see how the use of chemicals in the Vineyard can be minimized. Commissioner Arkin asked that a notice of the chemicals that are used be provided to the school. Commissioner Roberts stated that she would like to see the grantee of the easement split between the City and the Land Trust. Commissioner Arkin agreed that the two agencies should be involved. Chairperson Sullivan stated that he would support having the Land Trust be the grantee and the City be the beneficiary. Commissioner Roberts noted that she feels the wording on Page 5, Item h. of the easement should be revised to delete the word "economic." She also stated that she feels the section "Termination of Easement" on Page 6 should be removed. Ms. Seto advised that this is just a sample and the decisions still need to be made as to the primary beneficiary and if the model easement shall be used. r PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES February 14,2001 Page 7
