shall be subject to review and approval by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire <br />Department prior to planting. All vineyards and other crops in the Plan <br />Area are encouraged to be managed as organic agriculture in accordance <br />with the California Organic Foods Act of 1990, and all vineyard and other <br />crop growers are encouraged to become registered as organic agriculture <br />commodity producers. The agricultural application of methyl bromide <br />shall not be permitted in the Specific Plan Area. <br />10) Potential bed-and-breakfast inn facilities shall be designed to ensure that <br />interior noise levels of occupied rooms are less than 45 dBA Ldn · <br />Dual-paned windows shall be required for all rooms with a view of <br />Vineyard A venue. Because windows must remain closed to obtain the <br />required noise reduction, mechanical ventilation (e.g., air-conditioning) <br />shall be provided for all rooms. A Title 24 analysis shall be required <br />during the design phase to determine the potential need for additional <br />noise-control measures. <br />11) The existing natural berm-like earth-form located along the southern <br />border of Lot 28 shall be raised and extended in an easterly direction to <br />a point no farther than the dripline area of the nearby oak tree grove. <br />This feature is intended to provide visual screening between the Foley <br />Ranch corral and Lot 28 while still providing practical terrain for vineyard <br />planting. A row of evergreen screening trees shall be planted and <br />maintained along the southern property line of Lot 28 for the full length <br />of its common property line with Lots 30 and 31 . <br />12) The vineyard estate home on Lot 28 shall be located in the southwest <br />portion of the Vineyard district to preclude visibility from the Foley <br />Ranch corral. The finished floor elevation of the home and potential <br />accessory structures shall not exceed elevation 515 feet. <br />c. Vineyard Design Guidelines <br />1) Vineyard home and bed-and-breakfast inn designs should generally comply <br />with the MDR District design guidelines. <br />2) The use of olive and poplar trees is encouraged at visually-prominent <br />locations for visual and character accent purposes. <br />3) The planting of rose bushes is encouraged at the ends of vineyard rows to <br />add accent color. <br />4) Decorative , low-profile, split-rail fencing should be constructed along the <br />edges of the vineyards which abut the realigned Vineyard Avenue . <br />42
