identified are existing farm dwellings; those have been approved previously. The existing purple <br />dwelling is the main dwelling in which four rooms where the bed and breakfast will be operated <br />within. At this time there are two unpermitted dwellings that are identified in orange. Those are <br />proposed to be demolished and the applicants are proposing to construct a guest house on the <br />footprint of what was supposed to be a workshop but is now a dwelling. So once that’s <br />demolished, the proposed guest house will be located in this area. One of the rooms for the bed <br />and breakfast will be operated within the guest house. <br />The condition I want to bring to your attention is Condition No. 3, which states that <br />improvements of the property shall be completed within five years from the effective date of this <br />permit. Improvements shall be completed prior to the establishment of the bed and breakfast <br />operation. These improvements will include, but not be limited to, the demolition of the two <br />unpermitted structures, construction of the proposed guest house, finalizing all outstanding <br />building permits, and disconnecting the water meter that’s connected to other dwellings and to <br />just have it connected to one dwelling, unless other meters are able to be obtained by the <br />applicant. If not, then the other dwellings need to be hooked up to a private water catchment <br />system. <br />The Planning Department has received a petition for standing in a contested case hearing from <br />Brad Farwell. Mr. Farwell resides on a property that would be identified in this area on the map; <br />this would be just to the west of the subject property, so that’s identified in this area here. The <br />Planning Director is recommending that the Planning Commission approve this Special Permit <br />request. Are there any questions? <br />ALAMEDA: Commissioner McCall? <br />MCCALL: Yeah, my question, I’m not sure whether it applies in this case or not, but <br />in Ag areas where we have additional farm dwellings have been permitted and, I know there is a <br />fair rigmarole in what has to be done to get a farm dwelling allowed. What if, if an additional <br />farm dwelling is allowed and then a request comes in to use the farm dwelling for a bed and <br />breakfast, how do we take that? I mean, does that negate the use of the farm dwelling as, you <br />know, for what its permitted use was or -? I guess that’s a question to Mr. Yuen. <br />ALAMEDA: Mr. Yuen? <br />YUEN: A short answer is yes. If it was permitted as a B&B, then we would cancel <br />the farm dwelling agreement. Under the current policy, the additional farm dwelling has a farm <br />dwelling agreement that spells out that it’s supposed to be used in agricultural related activities. <br />ALAMEDA: Okay. Ms. Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA: A question for Mr. Torigoe. In terms of timing and process, since we do <br />have a petition for a contested case, at what point this morning do we take up that issue? Shall <br />we just discuss the whole thing and bring up Mr. Martinage and Mr. Nunn and hear testimony <br />from anyone else, or should we move right into the determination of standing? <br />ALAMEDA: Mr. Torigoe? <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />2 <br /> <br />
