Hamilton Oaks, a winery based in Trabuco Canyon, wants to use theproperty at 29943 Camino Capistrano for a demonstration vineyard,weddings, educational programs and other events for up to 400people. The council chose to pursue that proposal from among threepresented in March. The others were from Napa South Wine Tastingand the Orange County Art Center. A report by city Development Services Director Grant Taylor saysCity Manager Karen Brust negotiated a five-year license agreementwith Hamilton Oaks that would bring the city $4,000 a monthstarting June 30 and increasing to $5,000 a month by the fifthyear, plus 3 percent of annual gross revenue exceeding $1.2million. If neither side ends the agreement, it would automaticallyrenew for an additional five years, paying the city $5,500 a monthto start and increasing to $6,000 monthly.

The Swanner House, built in 1923 by Judge Roger Williams, is listedon the National Register of Historic Places . The 2.6-acre site includes the two-story, 2,234-square-foothouse, an 18-by-20-foot detached garage, a 35-foot-tall water towerand orange groves. The property was vacated last year, and several council membershave been supportive of the idea of wine tasting and events. Thecity's cultural, open space and parks commissions have weighed inwith some concerns about parking, landscaping, sewer connectionsand portable restrooms. Members of the Open Space, Trails &Equestrian Commission requested horse hitching posts and corrals. The house has a 50-person capacity under the California BuildingCode. The grounds could accommodate up to 400, though the city mayrequest a parking- and traffic-management plan, Taylor's reportsays. Hamilton Oaks plans to install a parking lot, with overflowparking north and south of the house. Parking would not be allowedon Camino Capistrano, Taylor says. Before the property can be used for events, it would have to berenovated to accommodate pedestrians and people with disabilities,along with electrical and plumbing upgrades and restrooms,according to a city report. Any alteration of the buildings would have to meet federalstandards for historic properties, and the citrus trees can't beremoved unless they're dead, diseased or hazardous. Hamilton Oaks plans to make the Americans with Disabilities Act renovations but does not plan exterior alterations to thestructures, Taylor says. Three rows of demonstration grape vines are proposed along CaminoCapistrano south of the house, with an alternate behind the parkingarea. Along with city approval, the plans will need the OK from theOrange County Fire Authority, Orange County Public Health Servicesand the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. 356093 Related:.
