enclosure would measure approximately 16-feet wide by 23-feet long. No design has been provided for the pump house. The applicants are also proposing a 5,000-gallon water tank on the slope bank above the house to further enhance fire-fighting capabilities on the site even though it was not required by the Fire Department. Afire truck turnout has been provided near the top of the private drive at the 610-foot elevation. A hammerhead-style fire truck turnaround has been provided at the top of the private drive. The turn around was modified from the prior plan to allow a 28-inch diameter, healthy blue oak tree (tree no. 18) to be saved. A total of 67 trees would be removed to accommodate the proposed development, consisting of 16 heritage-sized trees (i.e., a tree which measures 35 feet or greater in height or which measures 55 inches or greater in circumference) and 51 non-heritage-sized trees. The current plan removes 29 more trees than the prior plan. A total of 438 new trees would be planted, exceeding the specific plan's 6:1 replacement ratio. • At the northerly portion of the site designated as LDR, a series of stepped benches would be graded and planted with vineyards until the land is developed with homes. The vineyards would not be planted until a reliable water source is available. IV. DISCUSSION Uses The proposed uses for the Hillside Residential and Open Space areas generally follow the uses listed in the Specific Plan (see recommended condition of approval no. 2). Staff eliminated some uses that were not applicable to the property (e.g., eliminated common recreation area, public water pump station, public trails, and park from the OS area). Site Plan Access Road The new road would connect to Old Vineyard Avenue approximately 60-feet southeast of the current driveway in order to align with Safreno Way across Old Vineyard Avenue. The Bordeaux Country Estates developer was required to dedicate a roadway easement at the northwest corner of its property to accommodate the new road alignment on the Sarich property. The proposed street is within the roadway easement and complies with the location shown in the Specific Plan. The Specific Plan shows the future public streets in the adjacent Bordeaux Country Estates (formerly Heinz property) and Sarich properties connecting. The Specific Plan indicates that the street alignments shown are conceptual only and may change subject to the PUD development PUD-32 Page - 8 - November 14, 2007
