(Continued from 2/13/04, 8/13/04 2/16/07, 3/9/07, 08/03/07, and 02/15/08) The case planner, Allen Bell, summarized the Planner Memo and concerns about what the staff considers to be excessive grading. The staff would also like to track the LUP and BAR cases concurrently, if indeed they will both go the Planning Commission on Appeal. Applicant Presentation PUBLIC COMMENT: Ed Easton Spoke on behalf of the Gaviota Coast Conservancy. The residence does not need to be totally hidden, especially the roof which is earth toned adobe tiles that would blend and be subordinate to the natural terrain. The floor elevation could be raised as long as wall openings and associated interior lighting, would not be visible. This would decrease grading significantly and increase the project s consistency with the county s hillside grading policies. Return for preliminary review after working with Planning and Development staff and the Gaviota Coast Conservancy to arrive at an acceptable compromise in terms of the finish floor elevation and corresponding grading qualities and visibility. Project received further conceptual review only. Brady, Brown, Lash absent. No action taken. Applicant may submit for preliminary approval. 3. 08BAR-00000-00113 Agua Azul New Single Family Dwelling/Guesthouse Gaviota 08CDH-00000-00018 (Seth Shank, Planner) Request of Bill Swanson, agent for the owners, Agua Azul Partnership, to consider Case No. 08BAR-00000-00113 for conceptual review of a single-family residence of approximately 2,739 square feet with an attached garage of approximately 770 square feet, a guesthouse of approximately 798 square feet with an attached garage of approximately 340 square feet and workshop of approximately 240 square feet.

Page 4 Miller-Fisher disclosed having a brief conversation with the applicant about color options. The applicant proposed re-painting the existing barn to match the proposed employee dwelling, which would be a manufactured home. The vertical siding on one elevation and horizontal siding on the other three elevations is not acceptable; one or the other. The site is prominent and high quality construction is very important. CBAR suggests that the barn should be re-painted the darker brown color that is proposed for the employee dwelling and the roof of the employee dwelling should be the darker gray. Landscape concept looks fine. Project received further conceptual review only. Brady, Brown, and Lash absent. No action taken. Applicant may submit for preliminary/final approval. 5. 08BAR-00000-00110 De Werd Tier II Winery Los Olivos 08DVP-00000-00118 (Brian Tetley, Planner) Jurisdiction: Development Plan Request of Jones & Jones, LLP, architect for the owners, Mr. & Mrs. Jourdi de Werd, to consider Case No. 08BAR-00000-00110 for conceptual review of a winery of approximately 9,856 square feet.
