The site is accessed off of Pietronave Lane, which comes north off of Vineyard Avenue <br />just west of the intersection with Old Vineyard. Pietronave Lane is a 25-foot wide, as- <br />phalt paved easement that leads south past the project site to two other similarly sized <br />configured parcels (lots 16 and 17 in the Specific Plan). To the west of Pietronave and the <br />project site is a 20-acre former landfill that is designated as a Community Park in the <br />Specific Plan. There is also a landfill area of approximately 8,000 square-feet (.2 acres) <br />on the southwest corner of the subject site that has been designated as open space in the <br />Specific Plan. "The boundaries of this landfill have been determined by a geotechnical en- <br />gineering investigation. To the east of the project site is the 50-acre Berlogar parcel that <br />is currently being developed. <br />"I'he site has long-range views to Mount Diablo and the Coastal Range to the northwest, <br />and rolling hills to the south and east. It has medium range views to the Shadow Cliffs <br />Regional Park and the concrete plant and quarry to the northeast. Recently approved <br />and/or built subdivisions, Apperson Ridge and the Miller Subdivision, are located to the <br />east and west. The site is visible trom the intersection of the Vineyard Avenue trail and <br />Pietronave Lane and also from Old Vineyard Avenue. <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />The proposed PUD development plan is to demolish an existing 2,125 square foot mid- <br />century ranch home; subdivide the existing property into three parcels: Parcel A is 63,000 <br />square Feet (1.45 acre), Parcel B is 20,000 square feet (.46 acres), and Parcel C is 30,000 <br />square feet (.69 acre); to construct a custom home on each parcel and an accessory struc- <br />ture on Parcel A. Access to the homes will be from a private shared driveway intersecting <br />with Pietronave Lane. <br />The proposed residence on Parcel A is a 3,722-square-foot single-story home with a <br />semi-detached 924-square-foot garage and pool house with a 440-square-foot second- <br />story element. "1'he house is oriented towards the west with the front entrance facing <br />Pietronave Lane. The house is of craftsman-type architecture with stained wood shingle <br />siding. The existing heritage Oak tree that will be located on Parcel A will remain and <br />serve as the anchor for a private landscaped pool and recreation area. Just east of the old <br />Oak, the applicant proposes to build an approximately 1,189 square-foot, 25-foot tall ac- <br />cessory structure to be used as a workshop. The workshop, designed to resemble a barn, <br />is proposed to be of wood shingle siding with a sandstone stain. The proposed floor area <br />ratio (FAR) for Parcel A is 9%. Please note the photo-simulations attached in Exhibit C <br />depict a previous rendition of the workshop. The current design, as proposed, is accu- <br />rately shown in the elevation drawings found in Exhibit A. <br />The home on Parcel B is of a typical farmhouse style with horizontal wood siding. The <br />two-story house is approximately 2,947 square feet with asemi-detached 528-square-foot <br />garage. The house is oriented to the north with the front entrance facing the shared-access <br />driveway. The proposed FAR for Parcel B is 15.3%. <br />Item 5.6., PUD-h0 Pnge 3 of 10 • February I d, 2007 <br />
