The main winery structure will be located more than 150 feet from Conn Creek, while the proposed parking improvements maintain an approximately 88-foot setback from the top of bank. The parcel Is currently developed with an active vineyard, and has been actively managed as agriculture since the 1940's. No work ls proposed within the required stream setback from Conn Creek
