EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ‘The applicant proposes to construct a new single-story main residence with a basement, a barn with a basement, 8 accessory structures, 3 swimming pools, 2 new vehicular gates, fencing, and other landscaping and site improvements. The proposal requires Planning Commission approval ASRB Meeting rary 11,2016 460 Mountain Home Road Page 1 of a Conditional Use Permit for a greenhouse with an aggregate size exceedin pursuant to WMC 153.026. 50 square feet This project was reviewed as a Conceptual Design Review on April 20, 2015 (Attachment 4. ASRB Staff Report: and Attachment 5, Minutes). The proposal presented at the Conceptual Design Review of April 20, 2015, included a Lot Line Adjustment between the two properties. During this review, the ASRB recommended that the 460 Mountain Home Road portion of the proposal be forwarded to Formal Design Review (Attachment 6, Action Letter). The ASRB had concerns related to site planning, building design, landscape elements, and project conditions (Attachment 6, Action Letter) for the 95 Robles Drive portion of the proposal and continued this portion to a second Conceptual Design Review to give the applicant an opportunity to address these concems. The 95 Robles Drive portion of the proposal was reviewed as a second Conceptual Design Review on July 6, 2015 (Attachment 7, ASRB Staff Report; and Attachment 8, Minutes). The ASRB recommended that the project be forwarded to Formal Design Review before the ASRB, and that it return with its adjacent project proposal at 460 Mountain Home Road (Attachment 9. Action Letter). While conducting background research required for Formal Design Review, staff discovered a Condition of Approval stemming from the approval to remove the Jackling Estate, previously located at 460 Mountain Home Road. The Condition of Approval required the applicant to merge the two properties at 460 Mountain Home Road and 95 Robles Drive. A Restrictive Covenant was recorded on the property as a Condition of Approval, limiting development on the 460 Mountain Home Road property to a maximum total floor area of 10,000 square feet and a maximum residence size of 6,000 square feet. In response to the Condition of Approval to merge the subject properties, the applicant withdrew their applications for a Lot Line Adjustment (LLAJ2015-0003) and ASRB Formal Design Review of 95 Robles Drive (ASRB2015-0047) and applied for a Lot Merger (MERG2015-0003) between 460 Mountain Home Road and 95 Robles Drive. The two properties have differing General Plan Land Use Designations (R and R-ESA) and Zoning (RR and SCP-5). In order to process the proposed Lot Merger. the General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning of both ots must be consistent. Town Council approval of an Amendment to the General Plan is required to change the General Plan Land Use Designation of the 95 Robles Drive property from Residential (R) to Residential/Environmentally Sensitive Area (R-ESA) to match the adjacent lot at 460 Mountain Home Road. Town Council approval of a Zoning Code Amendment is also required to change the Zoning of the 95 Robles Drive property from Rural Residential (RR) to Special Conservation Planning — $ Acte Minimum (SCP-S) to match the adjacent lot at 460 Mountain Home Road. Further research was conducted conceming the Restrictive Covenant which limits development on the 460 Mountain Home Road property to a maximum total floor area of 10,000 square feet and a maximum residence size of 6,000 square feet. The Town Attorney reviewed the minutes and taped recordings of the meetings, which discussed this Restrictive Covenant, and confirmed that development is limited by the Restrictive Covenant on 460 Mountain Home Road and that the development within the footprint of the 95 Robles Drive property is limited by the zoning of that property. Table 1 provides a summary of the development potential of the property once ASRB Meeting January 11,2016 460 Mountain Home Road Page 2 ‘merged and the applicant’s proposed development. Table 1. Development Potential After Merger. 460 Mountain Home Road 95 Robles Drive __ Allowed Proposed Allowed | Proposed Total Floor Area I 10,000 sf 9,937 st 7,307 sf 5,752 sf Maximum Residence Size 6,000 sf 3,706 st NA NA This project proposes a Lot Merger and is now being presented and considered as a Formal Design Review pursuant to WMC Section 153.221.B under the address of 460 Mountain Home Road. Since the project involves structures totaling greater than 2,000 square feet, the ASRB is required to review the project. Pursuant to Section 153.227.C of the Municipal Code, the Board is to consider evaluation criteria related to Community Character, Site Planning, Building Design, and Landscape Elements. The Board would then make a recommendation to the Planning Commission for action. The Planning Commission will review the project and make a recommendation to the Town Council on the project, the proposed Conditional Use Permit for a proposed greenhouse with an aggregate size exceeding 250 square feet pursuant to WMC 153.026, and the proposed General Plan and Zoning Code Amendments, A timeline for processing of the project to date is included as Attachment 15. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed project includes the construction of a new main residence and accessory structures. The project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by Section 15303(a)(e), which includes single-family residences and ancillary buildings. The project also includes a Lot Merger that requires General Plan and Zoning Code Amendments to change the Zoning and General Plan Land Use Designation of the 95 Robles Drive property to be consistent with that of the 460 Mountain Home Road property. The existing General Plan Land Use Designation of the 95 Robles Drive property would change fiom a residential use (R ~ Residential) to a more restrictive residential use (R-ESA: Residential — Environmentally Sensitive Area). The existing Zoning of the 95 Robles Drive property would change from RR (Rural Residential) to the more restrictive SCP-5 (Special Conservation Planning — 5 acre minimum) Zone. The proposed changes in Zoning and General Plan Land Use Designation of 95 Robles Drive would continue the residential use of the property at a lower density and development potential. Therefore, the project is also Categorically Exempt ftom CEQA by Section 15305, which includes minor alterations in land use limitation that do not result in any change in land use or density. The project is also exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), as “where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

Municipal Code Section 153.139(B) requires that applicants submit the average slope of the lot excluding slopes in excess of 35% (net area). Lots with a net average slope of 12.5% or greater will be required to retain portions of the lot in Natural State. Sheet C-1.0 (Attachment 17) indicates that the net average slope of the merged property is 3.8%; therefore, the Natural State requirement is not applicable. ASRB Meeting January 11,2016 460 Mountain Home Road Page 7 BACKGROUND During the initial Conceptual Design Review on April 20, 2015 (Attachment 4, ASRB Staff Report; and Attachment 5, Minutes), the ASRB recommended that the 460 Mountain Home Road portion of the proposal be forwarded to Formal Design Review (Attachment 6, Action Letter). The ASRB applauded the applicant for proposing a project that is strongly in alignment with the Residential Design Guidelines in that it is restrained, elegant, limited in intensity, subordinate to the land, and sits lightly on the land. The ASRB also applauded the specified materials (i.e., charred wood, stone, and slate roofing). The ASRB recommended that the applicant return to the ASRB for Formal Design Review. The ASRB’s comments and recommendations of April 20, 2015 (Attachment 6), and staff's analysis of the applicant's response follow in Table 2: Applicant Response to Conceptual Design Review ~ 460 Mountain Home Road. ASRB Recommendation Staff's Analysis of the Applicant's Response L Site Planning a. Carefully consider tree impacts. | Pages 7-9 of the Arborist Report (Attachment 12) indicates that the Project Arborist has been tending to the trees on the properties for the past 24 years. The Arborist indicates that he has been involved in the siting of the proposed structures so that they may be near the trees, without compromising them. The report provides recommendations for reducing the impacts of each structure proposed (Attachment 12. page 8). When specifically addressing the proposed Bam, Olive Press, and Wine Press (referred to | previously as the Garden House in the report), the | Arborist recommends that the basement walls be | constructed without the normal OSHA 5-foot overcut to avoid cutting into the tree roots more than necessary. The applicant has submitted a section of a temporary construction shoring plan (Attachment 13) that would eliminate the need for the normal | OSHA 5-foot overcut to construct the basement, The Town's Building Official has reviewed this plan and indicated that it is an acceptable alternative method for proper shoring of the basement excavation that has been utilized on similar projects in Town to minimize disturbance to adjacent trees. The applicant has provided a Tree Canopy Diagram (Attachment 17, Sheet T1.00) showing the proposed encroachment of the Bam, Olive Press, and Wine Press on the Trees #101 and 104. The plan shows that the three structures would encroach into 6% of the dripline of Tree #101; and the wine press structure would encroach 4% into the dripline of Tree #104. ASRB Meeting January 11, 2016 460 Mountain Home Road The applicant has also provided a Tree Canopy Diagram (Attachment 17, Sheet T1.01) showing the proposed encroachment of the Orchard and Vineyard Houses on Trees #119 and 121. The plan shows that the Orehard House would eneroach into 21% of the dripline of Tree #119 and 2% of Tree #121. The Vineyard House would not encroach into the dripline of either tree. The Arborist indicates that the trees will be under his care before and during the construction process. He will continue to work closely with the design team to ensure that the trees remain healthy and safe through the construction process and into the future. The Arborist. Report also provides_—_general, recommendations for the protection of the trees during construction (Attachment 12, pages 8-10). b. Submit site photos from adjacent | properties to study visibility, and | provide site sections. a. Carefully consider the color of the proposed stone. Site Photos have been provided on Sheets A130 through A1.32 of the Project Plans (Attachment 17); Site Sections have been provided on Sheet A1.25 of the Project Plans (Attachment 17). | | The applicant has selected natural limestone cladding (Attachment 17, Sheet A4.00) for the stone clad walls | on the various structures, and rammed earth (Attachment 17, Sheet A401) for the proposed garden walls. The materials would have a sandy beige color that would complement the natural tones of the b. Carefully consider light emission impaets. The ASRB’s primary concern regarding light impacts relate to the proposed greenhouse portion of the barn. Light emissions from the Greenhouse would be focused inwards to the west courtyard. The east side of the building has less glazing facing the east neighbor property so light emissions are expected to be minimal. Light emissions through the “Greenhouse” roof will be minimal, if at all during evening hours. The glass roof is necessary to promote plant growth and maximize passive solar heat gain. Solar exposure will be modulated by interior shading devices which will be developed with the Greenhouse supplier. ASRB Meeting January 11,201 6 460 Mountain Home Road Page 9 IIL.

During the second Conceptual Design Review on July 6, 2015 (Attachment 7, ASRB Staff Report; and Attachment 8, Minutes), the ASRB recommended that the 95 Robles Drive portion of the proposal be forwarded to Formal Design Review (Attachment 9, Action Letter). The ASRB thanked the applicant for preparing an analysis of the solar access and views of the Western Hills. The ASRB requested that any proposed perimeter fencing be wildlife-friendly, and noted that the Planning Commission will consider a Conditional Use Permit for the proposed green house due to its size The ASRB recommended that the project be forwarded to Formal Design Review before the ASRB, and that it return with its adjacent project proposal at 460 Mountain Home Road.

The maximum height of the 3 resulting structures has been reduced by 2.16 feet above finished grade (Attachment 17, Sheet 43,30) to a height of 16 feet. DISCUSSION Community Character Woodside Municipal Code (WMC) §153.227.C.1 states that the Board shall review proposals to ensure “That the project is designed in a manner that is in keeping with and contributes to the rural character and aesthetics of the Town, respects the character of scenic corridors and vistas, and ‘supports equestrian facilities where applicable.” WMC §153.047 requires a minimum lot size of 3 acres for RR (Rural Residential) zoned parcels. The Zoning Code specifies that the purpose of this district isto preserve the Town's primarily single-family character. The Woodside 2012 General Plan Land Use and Community Design Element Policy LU14 states, “Residential lands are intended for a main dwelling as the principal use of a parcel, together with uses and structures customarily accessory 10 it.” Policy LUI2.6 states, “Encourage the maintenance of livestock, particularly horses, as an important component of the rural character of the Town. Community Character/Consistency with Woodside Municipal Code and General Plan The project proposes a main dwelling and accessory uses that are customary uses on a residential property. Additionally, the proposal includes livestock and agricultural pursuits (vineyard, vegetable garden, olive grove) at a hobby scale, reflective of the Town’s rural character. The project is consistent with the rural character of the Town in that it includes: buildings with simple forms and minimal massing that are subordinate to the land; natural and rustic materials; and, residential and agrarian uses that are customary uses on residential properties in Town. ite Planning Woodside Municipal Code §153.227.C.2 states that the Board shall review proposals to ensure “That the site plan is designed in a manner which preserves natural features, respects and preserves the Town's rural residential character, considers safe circulation, neighborhood ASRB Meeting January 11, 2016 460 Mountain Home Road Page 14 compatibility, fire safety, and sustainability.” The 2012 General Plan Land Use and Community Design Policy LUI.3.1 states, “Structures should be designed 10 be subordinate to the natural environment, responsive to site constraints, and compatible with the rural character of the Community. The 2012 Woodside Residential Design Guidelines encourages property owners to consider the location, scale, and orientation of site improvements and how they will complement and be consistent with neighborhood and community development patterns. Site Plan and Uses The applicant has submitted Project Plans (Attachment 17) proposing to merge the subject properties (o create a single 9.10-acre lot. The two properties have differing General Plan Land Use Designations (R and R-ESA) and Zoning (RR and SCP-5), In order to process the proposed Lot Merger, the General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning of both lots must be consister The applicant has applied for an Amendment to the General Plan to change the General Plan Land Use Designation of the 95 Robles Drive property from Residential (R) to Residential/Environmentally Sensitive Area (R-ESA) to match the adjacent lot at 460 Mountain Home Road; and a Zoning Code Amendment to change the Zoning of the 95 Robles Drive property from Rural Residential (RR) to Special Conservation Planning — 5 Acre Minimum (SCP-5) to match the adjacent lot at 460 Mountain Home Road. These amendments require approval of the Town Council. ‘The proposal also requires Town Council approval of a CEQA determination related to the amendments to the General Plan and Zoning Code.

Landscaping Elements ‘Woodside Municipal Code § 153.221.C4 states that the Board shall review proposals to ensure “that the landscape design minimizes grading, preserves natural and scenic features; that the planting design respects existing native and mature vegetation and is informal in design; that the fencing and entry features are open and rural in design: that exterior lighting is minimized: and that the landscape design is fire safe and sustainable.” ‘The 2012 General Plan Land Use and Community Design Policy LU1.3.3 states, “Landscaping should be designed to complement the natural attributes of the site, rather than relied upon (0 reduce the visual impacts of inappropriately designed and scaled structures. Avoid linear planting which can result in green fences and walls.” Landseaping The proposed Landscape Plan (Attachment 17, Sheets 11.00 to 14.12) would create several distinct sections of plantings across the 9.10-acre property, including meadow and olive grove vineyard; vegetable garden; and water tower garden. The meadow and olive grove area (6.08 acres) would consist of low water use species and would stretch from north to south property lines, covering the central and eastem portions of the property. The olive grove would be concentrated near the northern property line and would include olive and other varieties of trees, shrubs, and some perennials. The meadow would incorporate the existing heritage oak trees with meadow grasses and olive trees. The proposed vineyard (0.19 acres) would consist of moderate water use species and be located in the center of the property. The proposed vegetable garden (0.54 acres) would be made up of moderate water use species and located at the southern end of the property. Lastly, the water tower garden (1.94 acres) would be located on the westem side of the property, stretching from the existing water tower to the proposed residence. The perennial garden would be made up of high water use species on a drip system. No lawn is proposed and the applicant has indicated that the property is served by a very productive well. Installation of irrigated landscaped area totaling 5,000 square feet or more requires the submittal of a Landscape Documentation Package to satisfy the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO), a State Requirement. Sheet L-2.00 of the Project Plans proposes the installation of 381,539 squate feet of irrigated landscaping. The requirements of WELO have been provided in the Project Plans ASRB Meeting January 11, 2016 460 Mountain Home Road Page 25 Trees An Arborist Report (Attachment 12) has been submitted assessing the health of 114 trees on the property, The trees on the property have been under the care of the Project Arborist for 24 years and have been well maintained. The Arborist indicates that he has been involved in the siting of the proposed structures so that they may be near the trees, without compromising them. The report provides recommendations for reducing the impacts of each structure proposed (Attachment 12, page 8), When specifically addressing the proposed Garden Barn, Olive Press, and Wine Press (referred to as Garden House in the report), the Arborist recommends that the basement walls be constructed without the normal OSHA 5-foot overcut to avoid cutting into the ‘ree roots more than necessary. The applicant has submitted a section of a temporary construction shoring plan (Attachment 13) that would eliminate the need for the normal OSHA 5-foot overcut to construct the basement. The Town’s Building Official has reviewed this plan and indicated that it is an acceptable altemative method for proper shoring of the basement excavation that has been utilized on similar projects in Town to minimize disturbance to adjacent trees, The applicant has provided a Tree Canopy Diagram (Attachment 17, Sheet T1,00) showing the proposed encroachment of the Garden Barn, Olive Press, and Wine Press on Trees #101 and 104. The plan shows that the three structures would encroach into 6% of the dripline of Tree #101; and the Wine Press structure would encroach 4% into the dripline of Tree #104. The applicant has also provided a Tree Canopy Diagram (Attachment 17, Sheet T1.01) showing the proposed encroachment of the Orchard and Vineyard Houses on Trees #119 and 121. The plan shows that the Orchard House would encroach into 21% of the dripline of Tree #119 and 2% of Tree #121. The Vineyard House would not encroach into the dripline of either tree. The Arborist indicates that the trees will be under his care before and during the construction process. He will continue to work closely with the design team to ensure that the trees remain healthy and safe through the construetion process and into the future. The Arborist Report also provides general recommendations for the protection of the trees during construction (Attachment 12, pages 8-10), recommendations that are reflected in the submitted Tree Protection Plan (Attachment 17, Sheet GC1.00). The applicant proposes the removal of 6 trees with this application as noted in Table 5. A Tree Removal Diagram is included in Attachment 12 (last page of Arborist Report). Table 8.

Arborist Report not needed for removal. Hardscape The merged property would be allowed 9,000 square feet of paved area and surface coverage. Proposed hardscape includes: © Gravel driveways leading from the existing entrance to the proposed main re barn, and existing water tower; An extensive wood deck surrounding the swimming pool area at the main residence; Several small stone patios hetween the Garden Bam, Olive Press, and Wine Press structures; Stone patio outdoor shower areas at the main residence, Orchard House, and Vineyard House; and; ‘© Multiple landings adjacent to doorways at all structures. lence, Municipal Code Section 153.047(G) allows the Planning Director to grant an exception to the maximum paved area and surface coverage for lots in the SCP-5 Zoning District of up to 15,000 square feet. The applicant proposes 14,006 square feet of surface coverage, which would require this exception. The applicant has submitted an application for this exception (XPAV2016-0001). If, for any reason, the exception is not granted, the applicant shall revise the project to be in conformance with the allowable paved area and surface coverage without an exception (Condition of Approval Le). Landseape Lighting The Site Lighting Plan (Attachment 17, Sheet EL1.00) shows a total of 32 proposed landscape light fixtures. Eighteen path lights would illuminate a primary path between the existing water tower, the proposed main residence, and the proposed barn, Twelve additional path lights would be located inside the vegetable garden, behind 6-foot tall solid walls. Two wall-mounted fixtures would be located on either side of a proposed gate on the western side of the wall surrounding the vegetable garden. An additional 14 swimming pool light fixtures would be installed in the swimming pool (10), hot tub (2), and cold plunge pool (2). The proposed Site Lighting Plan leaves large areas of the 9.10-acre property without lighting. Staff finds that the proposed light fixtures conform to the standards set by Section 153.049.H of the Woodside Municipal Code and that, given the small size of the proposed fixtures and the limited quantity distributed throughout a large property, the outdoor landscape lighting is sufficient for safety and appropriate for the site without over-lighting the site at night. Grading The proposed grading shown in Table 6 below is required for the site work and construction of the main residence, accessory structures, and swimming pools. The proposed site work (Attachment 17, Sheets C-3.0 through C-3.6) includes leveling out the various building pads, driveways, and vegetable garden. The relatively flat site would require modest cuts and fills to accomplish the Grading Plan. The total fill material will exceed the cut material by 10 cubie yards, thereby requiring import of material. The Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plans have been reviewed and approved by the Town Engineer. ‘ASRE Meet Tanuary 11, 2016 460 Mountain Home Road Page 27 ‘Table 6. Proposed Grading.

The existing chain link and wood fencing near the south property line, and the existing low stone walls east of the existing vegetable garden would be removed. Alll existing perimeter fencing would remain. The applicant has provided a Fence/Wall/Gate Plan (Attachment 17, Sheet L4.00) showing the locations of all fencing, walls, and gates. Additionally, details of all proposed fencing, walls, and gates have been provided on Sheets L4.10 and L4.11 (Attachment 17). Areas A and B (Water Tower Garden and Vineyard) The Water Tower Garden and the vineyard are located in the northwest and center portions of the property and would be two of three areas surrounded by enclosure fencing. The applicant has expressed to staff that it is their goal to exclude deer from these areas to the greatest extent possible, while constructing fencing that meets the limitations set forth in the Municipal Code and the recommendations of the Residential Design Guidelines. To accomplish this task, the applicant proposes layering two enclosure fences, approximately 2- to 4-feet apart, surrounding each area, with double gates providing access. The thought is that a deer encountering the layered fencing will not attempt to jump both layers of fencing if spaced appropriately. The spacing should be such that there is not enough distance between the fences for the deer to land, and that the distance between the fences is too great to clear in one leap. Staff has included a fencing diagram as Sheet L4.10a at the back of the Project Plans (Attachment 17). Two layers of fencing would enclose the Water Tower Garden (Area A). The outer layer would be Fence Type 3: a 4-foot tall, metal split-rail fence, painted black (Attachment 17, Sheet 4.10). This fence would be open, with no wire mesh. The inner layer of fencing would be Fence Type 1: a 4-foot tall wood post and wire mesh fence with no top or bottom rail. The wire mesh on this fencing would extend below ground to a depth of 2 feet. The proposed gates would match the adjacent fencing, adding material for structural integrity. These gates would be located where gravel paths pass through the enclosure (3 locations), just south of the main residence (1 location), and at the northern driveway that provides access to the water tower. Gates Type | and 2 would reflect the 4-foot tall wood post and wire mesh fencing, adding top and bottom rails, and a diagonal cross member for structural integrity. The vehicular gate (Type 1) would be 67% open in design where 40% is required. Gates Type 3 and 4 would reflect the 4-foot tall metal split-rail fence, painted black. The pedestrian gate (Type 4) would include a diagonal cross member for support. The vehicular gate (Type 3) would add a decorative diagonal arched rail and would be 97% open in design where 40% is required. ‘ASRB Meet January 11, 2016 “460 Mountain Home Road Area C Vegetable Garden) A solid 6-foot tall wall of rammed earth would surround the proposed vegetable garden. The 1- foot thick, rammed earth wall would be topped with a canted stone cap to facilitate drainage. The walls would continue below grade to a depth of 1-foot, where it would tie into its footing. The proposed wall would tie into the barn/greenhouse structure and include 3 gates providing access to the interior of the garden. Gate Type 5 (Attachment 17, Sheet L4.11) would be a 6-foot tall, 9-foot wide, double swing solid wood gate. This gate type would be located southeast of the Garden Barn, Gate Type 6 (Attachment 17, Sheet L4.11) would be a 6-foot tall, 4-foot wide. single swing solid wood gate. This gate type would be used in two locations: on the north end of the western wall and northwest of the greenhouse. Area D Area D encompasses 6.47 acres (68.4%) of the property and includes the Orchard and Vineyard Houses, the Garden Barn, and Wine and Olive Press structures, the oak meadow, and the olive grove, The applicant proposes to surround Area D with new perimeter fencing, which would tie into sections of existing fencing at the perimeter of the property. The new perimeter fencing (Type 2) would 4-foot tall, wood split rail fencing with no wire mesh. Two sections of fencing (Type 3) with gates (Type 4) would extend from the south garden wall to the east and west property lines. The proposed open fencing would allow Area D to remain accessible to wildlife being surrounded by low, open, wildlife friendly fencing. Compost Bay Walls Four compost bays are proposed southeast af the Garden Barn. The compost bays would be open on the northwest side and surrounded by a 6-foot tall solid fence constructed with steel I-beam posts painted black with oak sleepers with a torched finish, All of the proposed fencing would meet the limitations of the Woodside Municipal Code. The applicant proposes to keep a large portion of the 9.10-acre site open to wildlife passage by proposing low, open fencing at the perimeter. The applicant also proposes limited use of enclosure fencing that is visually open but not wildlife friendly, surrounding the Water Tower Garden and vineyard; and proposes limited solid fencing around the Garden Courtyard. The Fence section of the Residential Design Guidelines includes many recommendations for including fencing on a property. It stresses the use of fencing that is visually open and allows for wildlife migration. The chapter also recommends that enclosure fencing (that which is visually open but not wildlife friendly) be limited to areas around vineyards, orchards, and other agricultural uses. The proposed Fencing Plan reflects the recommendations of the Residential Design Guidelines by including ‘visually open fencing at the perimeter and interior of the property; ‘© fencing constructed with natural materials and natural colors; ‘© open, split rail perimeter fencing that is low in height and wildlife friendly; and, * enclosure fencing that is limited to areas around a vineyard, Garden Courtyard, and Water Tower Garden, allowing a majority (68.4%) of the 9.10-aere property to remain accessible to wildlife. Additional Landscape Features ‘A 1.5- to 3- foot tall, 40 foot long water feature (Attachment 17, Sheets L1.00 & L4.12) is proposed adjacent to the existing historic water tower. The feature would be 1.25-feet deep and ASRB Meeting January 11, 2016 460 Mountain Home Road Page 29 constructed with rammed earth walls. A portion of this feature would encroach into 16.5% of the dripline of tree #30, a 45-inch coast live oak. As discussed above, the Project Arborist indicates that the trees will be under his care before and during the construction process. He will continue to work closely with the design team to ensure that the trees remain healthy and safe through the construction process and into the future. Landscape Elements/Consistency with Woodside Municipal Code and General Plan Pursuant to the discussion above, the proposed project would occur in a manner consistent with the policies of the General Plan and the Woodside Municipal Code (§153.227.C.4) in that the project: ‘© includes a planting plan that concentrates more formal plantings around the residence (Water Tower Garden), which is setback a significant distance from the main entrance at the end Robles Drive: and keeps the remainder of the property natural; ‘* includes a fencing plan that keeps the interior of the majority (68.4%) of the 9.10-acre property open, allowing for wildlife passage; includes a minimal grading plan; and, includes minimal landscape lighting that is appropriate for the site and preserves the dark. sky to which Town residents are accustomed. Other Property Attributes Utilities and Equipment Gas, water, and electric utilities serve the property from meters located in the northeast comer of the property. Service would be extended to the proposed structures from the existing meters through several joint trenches proposed to run through the interior of the property. Sheets C-3.2 and C-3.4 (Attachment 17) indicate that the proposed joint trench serving the Orchard and Las the Barn, Olive Press, and Wine Press structures, would be located within the dripline of several significant trees. Section 153.176 of the Municipal Code requires that any trenching within the dripline of significant trees be done by hand. Trenching within the driplines of trees, whether by hand or machine, can have adverse impacts on the health of the trees. P suuance of a Building Permit, the applicant shall revise the locations of the utility ‘renches to avoid the driplines of significant trees to the greatest extent possible. The applicant shall also revise the Project Plans to include provisions for hand-trenching within the driplines of znificant trees (Condition of Approval L.d). any si Fire Hydrant An existing fire hydrant is located near the entrance to the property. Sheet EX-5 provides distances from the fire hydrant to the existing and proposed buildings. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, the applicant shall revise the Project Plans to comply with the requirements of the Woodside Fire Protection District (Condition of Approval Le). Septic System The property is served by an onsite septic system. The applicant proposes (Attachment 17. Sheets C-2.1 & C-2.2) to install three new septic tanks and leach fields to serve the proposed structures. The septic tank serving the main residence would be located south of the residence with the primary and secondary leachfields located just south of the tank. The septic tank serving the Orehard and Vineyard Houses would be located south of the Vineyard House with the primary and secondary leachfields located to the east and west of the Vineyard House. The septic tank serving the Garden Barn, Olive Press, and Wine Press structures would be located southeast of the Garden Bam with the primary and secondary leachfields located east and west of the tank ASRB Meet January 11, 2016 460 Mountain Home Road location, Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, the adequacy of the septic systems shall be verified with San Mateo County. Staff has added this requirement as a Condition of Approval No. Lf. Drainage System The proposed drainage system (Attachment 17, Sheets C-3.0 through C-3.6) collects water through area drains located adjacent to the proposed structures, directing Mow to proposed underground storm retention systems to the east of the residence. The retention system would feed storm water to metered flow outlets southeast of the proposed Garden Barn and between the proposed Wine Press and Vineyard House structures, near the east property line. The Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plans have been reviewed and approved by the Town Engineer, Neighbor Communications Comments on the project were received during Conceptual Design Review relating to the impact of the proposed Garden Barn, Olive Press, and Wine Press structures (previously called the Garden House). The applicant provided studies showing that the proposed structures would not cast shadows on the neighboring property’s vegetable garden during the second Conceptual Design Review for 95 Robles Drive (Attachment 7, ASRB Staff Report; and Attachment 8, Minutes). While not required, the applicant has reduced the height of the proposed Garden Barn, Olive Press, and Wine Press structures by 2 feet following completion of Conceptual Design Review. No additional comments from neighbors have been received for the project since completion of Conceptual Design Review. Code Compliance Town practice does not allow the Planning Department to process any application that have open code compliance cases unless the application is required to bring the property into compliance. There are no open code compliance cases on the subject property; therefore, the Town may process the current project proposal.
