..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Robert Massarelli, Community Development Director Prepared by: Mark Roberts, Associate Planner DATE: October 17, 2017 SUBJECT: Stone House Cellars 25 AC. FT. Irrigation Pond Minor Use Permit, MUP 14-16 Grading Permit, GR 14-04 Initial Study, IS 14-20 Supervisor District 3 ATTACHMENTS: 1. Vicinity Map 2. Site Plan & Architectural Drawings 3. Initial Study, IS 14-20 4. Letter's from Applicant (Greg Stratmann) 5. Agency Comments 6. Public Comments/Concerns 7. Proposed Conditions of Approval PROJECT SUMMARY: The Stonehouse Cellars Irrigation Pond is located at 500 Old Long Valley Road, approximately one (1) mile north of Highway 20, four (4) miles east of Clearlake Oaks, and quarter (.25) miles west of the north fork of Cache Creek. The terrain is relatively level, with an elevation of approximatly1, 350 feet above mean sea level. The surface runoff at the site currently flows to the east, towards existing drainage gullies and into Cache Creek. The project will clear approximately 3.5 acres within an existing vineyard to construct a 25 acre feet (approximately 8.14 million gallons of water) membrane lined pond. The total graded material is approximately 20,840 cubic yards and approximately 17,960 cubic yards will be used to create the 25 acre feet pond. The pond would be approximately 15 feet deep, with a surface area of 100,000 square feet and a bottom surface area of 51,000 square feet. In disturbed areas, straw mulch, and wattles will help control erosion control and silt fences will contain sediment during grading installation of the pond. For a grading project of this size, the Lake County Grading Ordinance requires approval of a Complex Grading Permit, which in turn triggers environmental review pursuant to CEQA. This CEQA review primarily addresses environmental impacts of grading. However, because the project ultimately involves conversion of natural habitat to agricultural use, the impacts of the proposed irrigation pond are also considered in this review. There is currently no development on the property, other than adjacent vineyards and a few outpost buildings. The primary source of water would be diverted from a pre-1914 registered spring on the property (water right ID S014396). The secondary source of water will be from a spring fed pond that exists in the vineyard. The fall back source, which should be unnecessary, would be an existing groundwater well located in the vineyard. The water would be distributed throughout the vineyard through underground piping and applied to the vines through drip irrigation Location: 500 Old Long Valley Road; Clearlake Oaks, CA A.P.N.: 006-012-43 Parcel Size: Approximately 145 acres General Plan: Agricultural Zoning: "APZ-WW-SC" Agricultural Preserve Zone - Waterway -Scenic Combining Flood Designation: X Slope: Relatively flat to Fairly Step RECOMMENDED ACTION: SAMPLE MOTIONS: Mitigated Negative Declaration I move that the Planning Commission find on the basis of the Initial Study, IS 14-20 prepared by the Planning Division and the mitigation measures and conditions of approval which have been added to the project, that the minor use permit and grading permit as applied for by the Greg Stratmann will not have a significant effect on the environment and therefore a mitigated negative declaration shall be issued with the findings listed in the Staff Report dated October 17, 2017. Minor Use Permit Approval I move that the Planning Commission find that the Minor Use Permit, MUP 14-16 applied for by Greg Stratmann on property located 500 Old Long Valley Road, Clearlake, CA does meet the requirements of Section 50.4 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance and that the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration which was adopted for this project and the Minor Use Permit be granted subject to the conditions and with the findings listed in the Staff Report dated October 17, 2017. Grading Permit Approval I move that the Planning Commission find that the Grading Permit, GR 14-04 applied for by Greg Stratmann on property located at 500 Old Long Valley Road, Clearlake, CA does meet the requirements of �30-28.3 of the Lake County Grading Ordinance and that the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration which was adopted for the project and the Grading Permit, GR 14-04 be granted subject to the conditions and with the findings listed in the Staff Report dated October 17, 2017.
