These plans are to <br />address agricultural operations, open space maintenance, wildlife and vegetation preservation needs. <br /> <br />The following Open Space Management Plan is intended to address the lots and homesites that are part of <br />the planned unit development plan for the Estates on Oak Ridge submitted to the City of Pleasanton by <br />Threehand, LP. <br /> <br />The following Open Space Management Plan and Wildland Fire Protection Plan is organized into sections <br />as follows: <br /> <br />A. Permitted and conditional uses in open space areas <br />B. Existing Trees/ Vegetation <br />C. New Trees/ Vegetation <br />D.. Fire Management <br />E. Agricultural Operations <br /> <br />A. Permitted and conditional uses in open space areas: <br /> <br />Open space areas in The Estates on Oak Ridge are associated with open hilly areas with native oaks. It <br />contains many existing native trees which have important aesthetic and habitat value. Because these open <br />space areas are adjacent to new residential development and vineyards, their management must take into <br />account adjacent agricultural operations, and fire management issues. The following listed <br />recommendations and guidelines are to be applied on an ongoing basis to maintain and enhance open space <br />area quality. <br /> <br />The Open Space Use Standards found in the Specific Plan (cf page 43) are modified below to become <br />consistent with the topographical conditions found of the site and to conform to the approved Architectural <br />Design Guidelines. It needs to be noted that the CC&Rs recorded for Th Estates on Oak Ridge are more <br />restrictive and where the CC&Rs are in conflict with the uses listed below, the CC&Rs do take precedence. <br /> <br />1.
