Document Description
NOTE: extended review to July 28, 2009.
The applicant proposes to develop the project site as follows (all acreages are approximate): the 190 acre project site would consist of a 135 acre net vineyard, 23 acres of perimeter avenues, a 9 acre reservoir and sump, 2 acres of driveways and roads, a one acre corporation yard, and 20 acres of graded perimeter slopes. Approximately 171 acres of the 190 acre total would be converted from young growth timber (redwood and Douglas-fir) to vineyard, under the conditions of a Timberland Conversion Permit (TCP) issued by Cal Fire. The timber harvesting activities on the site would adhere to the California Forest Practice Rules and are described in detail in a Timber Harvest Plan prepared for the applicant by a state-licensed Registered Professional Forester. The actual logging would be performed by a state-certified Licensed Timber Operator.
