Council votes in favor of Justin Winery facility expansion
rborist Chip Tamagni speaks to the city council.
–Paso Robles City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to give Justin Winery the go-ahead to expand their wine facility on Wisteria Lane. The new wine storage facility will require the removal of 13 oak trees. Arborist Chip Tamagni told the council that most of the trees are dead or dying. He says they will be replaced by 28 healthy Coastal Live Oak trees.
The councilmen said they’d received a plethora of emails objecting to the tree removal, in light of Justin Winery’s destruction of hundreds of oak trees at their property east of Paso Robles. That clear cutting was done without permission from San Luis Obispo County. Steve Martin says that objection was more about symbolism than about logic. He says the city must move past the lost oak trees in the past.
The council voted unanimously to approve Justin Winery’s proposed wine storage facility on Wisteria Lane.
