Mary Roberts, PO Box 154, noted that she was not related to Allen Roberts and had no objection to this project. She noted that the caretaker's unit was being relocated and that the Berlogars' house was constructed before the design guidelines for the Specific Plan. She noted that there were no deed restrictions that the second unit must remain as such; she did not want future owners to split the property. She would like to see low-level lighting without up-lighting, such as was discussed for the Happy Valley area. She noted that people had a tendency to install huge lights in front of the barn door, creating light leakage. She did not believe that fill could be exported until there was a final map for the other property. Ms. Nerland believed that the fill would remain on that parcel. Mr. Shut'ts noted that the lighting could be controlled, using only general illumination required by Code; he did not object to a condition detailing that requirement. Regarding the grading, he noted that the only area of fill would be in the area of the wine barn, which required some excavation of the hillside. He noted that would create a balance in the fill. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Maas regarding second units, Ms. Decker stated that the caretaker's unit was not considered as a second residential unit for the site because it relocates the existing caretaker's unit from the existing location and was previously approved at the time the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan was adopted. It is not in conformity with the second residential unit requirements with respect to size. Deed restrictions would not be required because the structure was specific to the caretaking of the site and its accessory structures. Commissioner Arkin moved to approve Case PDR-336 as recommended by staff, with the added conditions that only Iow-level exterior lighting be used and that the underground wine cellar meet all health and safety requirements. Commissioner Maas seconded the motion. Commissioner Blank proposed an amendment requiring the addition of a fourth tree on the hay barn, a sixth tree on the shop and wine barn, and the addition of some landscaping around the future horse barn. Commissioners Arkin and Maas agreed to amend the motion as proposed. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: Commissioners Arkin, Blank, and Maas. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None. RECUSED: Commissioner Roberts.
