Bounty Hunter developer promises ‘nicest building’ in Napa’s downtown

Newest landmark

An updated image of the proposed Bounty Hunter building, located at the corner of Main and First streets in downtown Napa.

Taylor Lombardo Architects

JENNIFER HUFFMAN j huf f man@nap ane w s . com A mixed-use, four-story stone building featuring dark bronze metal accents and “an eclectic, turn-of-the-century feel” is planned for the currently empty corner of First and Main streets in downtown Napa.

Representatives from Napa business Bounty Hunter recently submitted major design review plans to the city for its new headquarters.

“We want it to be the nicest building in downtown Napa,” said business owner Mark Pope.

Pope, founder and chief executive of Bounty Hunter Rare Wine & Spirits, plans to move his Old West-themed restaurant and offices with more than 100 employees at 975 First St. into the new 26,930-square-foot building.

His intent is to create a “building that is historically interesting, but respectful of Napa heritage and tradition.”

The project will feature space for a restaurant, bar, kitchen, wine shop, offices, storage, classrooms and meeting space.

“We are going to use very high-quality building materials,” Pope said. The 12 — Distinctive Properties

building should cost between $12 million and $15 million.

However, in April, the Planning Commission conducted a preliminary review of the architectural design focusing on such issues as building design, exterior materials, lighting and business signage, said Scott Klingbeil, a city planner.

“After reviewing the architecture with the applicant’s design team the Commission was largely supportive of the proposed development,” he noted.

“It’s quality with a capital Q,” declared Commissioner Beth Painter at the time.

“It’s going to be an awesome addition to downtown Napa,” said Commissioner Michael Murray. “It’s going to set up a visual corridor that will be world-renowned.”

Pope and his business partners acquired several properties on the block in 2013 and 2015.

In November, demolition of the existing buildings – including former homes of the Tuscany and Don Perico restaurants – cleared the site for the Bounty Hunter project.

The Don Perico restaurant was significantly impacted. The business had been closed due to earthquake damage. Then it had to move to ready the site for demolition. For a time, it was unclear where Don Perico might go. The restaurant moved into a space almost across the street in Dwight Murray Plaza.

“I’m really happy that things have worked out for the owners of the Mexican restaurant,” said Pope. “It’s a win-win for the community and that makes me feel good.”

The current home of the Bounty Hunter on First Street will be repurposed, said Pope.

“We may put another concept there,” he said, but declined to elaborate. “We’re looking at all options.”

As for the new project, “I’m hoping the city appreciates what we are trying to do and they are thrilled with it.”

“With any luck,” construction could start at the first half of 2017 and be finished in 24 months.

The project will next go before Planning Commission. A date has not been announced.

MARGRIT BIEVER MONDAVI: 1925-2016

THE

Tributes pour in on news of the death of Margrit Mondavi

First Lady of Napa Valley Above: In her 2012 book, Margrit Mondavi shared stories of her life before, during and after her marriage to Robert Mondavi.

Register file photo

20 — Distinctive Properties

L . P I E RC E C A R S O N lp car s on@nap ane w s . com

Artist, author and widow of internationally renowned wine world icon Robert Mondavi, Margrit Biever Mondavi died at her hillside Coombsville home on Sept. 3. She was 91.

Margrit Mondavi had been battling stomach cancer for more than two years.

Considered “the first lady of the Napa Valley” by friends and associates from all walks of life, the Switzerland native — who reminded us often she was “American by choice” — had served for many years as vice president of cultural affairs at the winery her late husband founded in 1966.

She joined the staff of the Robert Mondavi Winery in 1967, filling the role of public relations director until she married the boss.

The first female tour guide in the Napa Valley, Margrit Biever Mondavi was respected, like her second husband, for helping put the Napa Valley on the world stage.

While her husband insisted Napa Valley wines belong in the company of the world’s best, Margrit, in efforts based at the Robert Mondavi Winery, focused on wine country cuisine and culture.

Through culinary programs featuring the world’s great chefs, with art exhibits and programs that spotlighted the nation’s leading contemporary artists and an enduring summer concert series, Margrit complemented Bob Mondavi’s remarkable wines with great food and art.

Margrit Mondavi is honored on her 90th birthday at the last concert of the summer at Robert Mondavi Winery in 2015. Joining in the birthday toast to the festival founder are Karen O’Neill, left, executive assistant to Margrit Mondavi; Julie Prince, who helped produce the summer festivals for nearly two decades; and Wendy Carolo, right, vice president of hospitality and cultural affairs.

Together, they helped spread the gospel of the cultured good life. They helped endow the Napa Valley Opera House, a new enology and viticulture school at UC Davis and a performing arts center there.

Their biggest local project, Copia, the ambitious “American Center for Wine, Food and the Arts” ultimately failed.

HER MARRIAGES While a student at a Swiss teachers’ college for young women at the end of World War II, Margrit Kellenberger met an Army captain from the United States. Following a brief courtship that included prolific letter writing, she and Capt.

Philip Biever were married in the Church of Madonna del Sasso on a wooded hillside above the city of Locarno.

Reflecting on that special day just prior to the publication of “Margrit Mondavi’s Sketchbook” in 2012, she recalled she had packed a valise so she and her new husband could leave on a honeymoon shortly after the ceremony. It was on the train to Lugano that the newlyweds had a moment to take stock of the situation.

“I can see his face as clearly today as I did then, sitting across from him in the compartment of the train,” she said during an interview at her home.

“We had both turned white as a sheet, both of us thinking, ‘What have we done?’

“Phil leaned across to me and when he got close he said: ‘It’s gonna be alright.’ And it was.”

The newlyweds settled in her husband’s new duty station, North Dakota, and started a family that includes three children — Philip Jr., Annie and Phoebe.

Also with the publication of the 2012 book — co-written with Janet Fletcher — Margrit acknowledged that Robert G. Mondavi was the love of her life.

“Bob and I fell in love — we were attracted

to one another,” Margrit wrote in the collection of memories from her personal diary. “But I was not going to be his mistress. He was already famous, with a wife and three kids. My marriage was falling apart, and maybe Bob was part of the reason for it. He and I couldn’t live together in Napa Valley without marrying — no way. I was not a personality but I had a profile. It would be impossible.”

“I could have let him go, but he didn’t want me to let him go. He said, ‘I’ll take care of it, don’t you worry.’ You had to be optimistic around Bob; he didn’t have a negative bone in his body. Any obstacle was temporary as far as he was concerned.”

Margrit’s divorce was accomplished without issue, she said. Such wasn’t the case with vintner Mondavi. His lawyers advised against it and his calls from San Francisco made Margrit ill at ease, and, at one point, physically ill. She wondered if she’d have to start her life anew somewhere else, perhaps returning to Switzerland.

Bob Mondavi wound up firing both of his lawyers and getting the divorce he wanted. Two months later, in May of 1980, Bob and Margrit were married in Palm Springs.

“I really did not marry Bob for his money,” she wrote in the sketchbook, “but it’s what came along. I always told him that I would go with him to the end of the world. We could grow grapes and start over again. Bob was very conscious of time, that life is not forever. When I would ask him what he wanted for his birthday, he would say, ‘I want nothing to change.’”

They resided in their home on Wappo Hill until his death in 2008.

cookbook more than a decade ago. Commenting in the sketchbook, Annie said her mother could have been “an incredible actress. She loves to be in front of people. If you watch her at the concerts at the winery, when she comes on stage, her presence is wonderful. You want to look at her. She’s always wearing something flowing and has that accent, and people are attracted to her. She was meant for something grand, and it just took her a while to find it.”

World-renowned chef Jacques Pepin wrote to the Register, “I met Margrit in 1976. It was my first visit to Napa and I came to conduct cooking classes at High Tree farm. Margrit synchronized the wines for the classes. Charming, knowledgeable, helpful and generous, she introduced me to Napa and to the wine industry. She became a friend. Throughout the next 40 years, it would be my privilege and delight to teach at the extraordinary Mondavi Great Chefs Cooking program that she had created. Her sense of style and superb knowledge of arts made her an asset and an icon of not only the wine world but the social life of Napa, California and America as well. I will miss her as a friend, an artist and a great humanitarian.”

“Margrit was my friend — the dearest friend a person could have — for 55 years,” said Thomas Bartlett, who was Mrs. Mondavi’s frequent escort after the death of her husband. “We traveled together in California and Europe, and our conversation never lagged. She was a total Renaissance woman who lived more than most people would in two lifetimes. Her zest for life never waned. In my last conversation with her she said, ‘Thomas, if I could have one last wish, it would be to go one more time to your home in Mexico where THE TRIBUTES we could paint and draw — and go out dancing, The philanthropic work she and her late hus- preferably to a Cuban band. This is a great loss.” band accomplished will resonate for years to come.

MONDAVI From Page 21

who worked for Robert Mondavi early in his career and became a lifelong friend of the Mondavis, wrote, “I met Margrit when I started working at Robert Mondavi Winery in 1968. My laboratory was in the winery tower, and when I told her that it was modern, practical and scientific but certainly not interesting, she understood. She delivered a huge flowering plant, which transformed it into an inviting, living place.

“Years later when we were designing the label for my winery, Grgich Hills Cellar, our artist created a beautiful cluster of Chardonnay grapes.

I liked it but felt something was missing. I asked my friend Margrit to help me. She immediately knew what to do. ‘Mike, you should make the grape clusters a little longer so the grapes form a triangle,’ she said.

We incorporated her suggestion and have used the same label throughout the years.“Margrit Mondavi, the First Lady of American wine, was a living example of how wine, food and the arts are an essential part of daily life,” Grgich added. “Her passion for life was infectious, and her influence wide-reaching. She brought great joy to everyone she touched and inspired in others the desire to live life well and to the fullest. I was proud to call her my friend.” Another longtime friend, Beth Nickel, of Far Niente Winery, said, “We have just lost one of the most beloved and iconic figures that Napa Valley will ever know.

Margrit was an inspiration and a joy to the legions of people she came in contact with. She made gigantic contributions in so many areas of wine, food, arts, education and community service.“When my late husband, Gil, and I arrived in the valley almost 40 years ago, she and Robert were among the first to welcome us. They were always very complimentary and encouraging about all of our efforts at Far Niente and our ventures that came along after that.

They set an extremely high standard of excellence for all of us to look up to and elevated all of us in the process.“Margrit’s friendship to me will be something that I’ll treasure

all of my life. There has never been another one like her. Vintners Shari and Garen Staglin, owners of Staglin Family Vineyards in the Napa Valley, sent this comment to the Register: “Margrit was the architect of Napa’s culture of glorious entertaining. She had this amazing ability to match and describe the perfect dish with the perfect wine, and she propelled Napa to the international map of fine wine and cuisine. Her grace, combined with unending energy, made her the perfect hostess or guest at any event.

The never-ending passion she had for art led to a transformation of music and visual arts in the Napa Valley.

Her warmth and wonderful smile made you feel great at every interaction you had with her. These memories will live with us forever and we believe for anyone who was fortunate to know her. Her favorite toast, ‘cent’anni,‘ or ‘100 years’ is a wish she leaves with us all.”Clay Gregory, who also worked for the Robert Mondavi Winery and went on to become president and CEO of Visit Napa Valley commented:“There is no way to overstate Margrit’s enormous impact on Robert Mondavi Winery and the Napa Valley itself. The programs she started at the winery were

groundbreaking, from the Summer Music Festival and Winter Concert series to the Great Chefs program, to the rotating and permanent art installations (and, of course, she was a great artist in her own right).

She brought an international flare and awareness that raised the cultural level of the winery to heights that would never have been reached without her.

“She was generous with her time and gracious with everyone she met.

Her contributions to charities both in the valley and beyond are wonderful examples of the person she was.

She had a brilliant mind as well as a wickedly funny sense of humor.

Margrit has left an indelible and charming mark on the Napa Valley, and she will be greatly missed for decades to come.”

Ralph J. Hexter, acting chancellor UC Davis, called Mrs. Mondavi “one of the university’s most generous and visionary supporters, an incredible champion of our campus and our students. Her commitment to fostering the arts and furthering our research in food science helped UC Davis achieve yet greater heights and greater recognition in these areas.”

The Mondavis’ $35 million gift

million led to the creation of the Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, which opened in 2002, he noted, and they also helped establish the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science.

Margrit Mondavi made a $2 million gift to the new university art museum scheduled to open in November and funded scholarships, he said.

Rick Walker, CEO and president of Festival Napa Valley, which marked its 11th season in July with a tribute to Mrs. Mondavi, told the Register, “Margrit’s humanity, warmth and graciousness were matched by her force of will — able to move mountains and achieve what others could not. She inspired me to dream big and to act on those dreams. She was the guiding light in creating Festival Napa Valley, nurturing it to become a celebration of all that she stood for — joyful living, generosity, bringing people together through food, wine and culture. She brought out the very best in everyone lucky enough to know her.”

Sasha Paulsen, Register features editor, contributed to this story.

Highlighting history

This set of signs, monuments and plaques was one of three reviewed by the Napa city Cultural Heritage Commission for possible use in neighborhoods with historic landmarks. The silhouette, included for scale, is of a 5-foot, 6-inch woman.

Napa eyes new signs to distinguish historic neighborhoods

Amy Linn graphic, Linn Design Studio

H OWA R D Y U N E h y u n e @n ap an e w s.c om In the coming years, visitors in Napa may encounter monuments and signs to point the way into the city’s historic districts – and medallions to adorn the landmarks within.

City officials have started weighing the look and style of signage to recognize architectural treasures in downtown, the Napa Abajo-Fuller Park district and Calistoga Avenue, and possibly other neighborhoods in the future. For the first time, the Cultural Heritage Commission in September reviewed possible designs for the markers they hope can steer historically minded tourists into Napa.

The local graphic designer Amy Linn, who is consulting the city, unveiled three sets of markers for current and future historic preservation zones. Each would include ground-mounted wayfinders to point tourists into districts, pole-mounted markers outside historic zones, and plaques for property owners to attach to the buildings themselves.

Ground-level monuments would include directional arrows, maps and background information on Victorian homes, 19th-century storefronts and other landmarks in the vicinity.

Pole signs would mark a historic area’s borders, with each district allotted its own sign colors and possibly logos – for instance, an image of the electric trams that spurred the early development of Calistoga Avenue, or an anchor

This concept for historic markers in Napa’s Calistoga Avenue area includes images of trams, in recognition of the electric rail service that spurred the neighborhood’s development.

to memorialize the ship captains who once called the Fuller Park neighborhood home.

Those owning proper ties with city, state or federal historic recognition would be encouraged to mount medallions with designs similar to the neighborhood markers.

Rather than depict landma rk b uil di ngs t he ms elves , Linn encouraged the city to use

symbols instead, to call attention to each neighborhood’s people and lore as well as its brick and mortar.

“Not every house in a district will be Spanish Mission,” she told the heritage commission. “It’s more about the people who lived in these districts, and made them into what they came to be.”

Although cultural heritage officials have discussed a historic

signage program for four years, the idea got a major push last November when the city’s planning department added a sign program to its list of projects for review, setting the stage for formal talks and design guidance. Talks among heritage advisers since then have focused on creating distinctive and freestanding markers, rather than “sign toppers” mounted over existing street signs.

CURB APPEAL

(BPT)—It takes just seven seconds to form a first impression after meeting someone new. The same psychology applies to the first impression people get when shopping for a new home. Within seconds of arrival, home buyers are forming positive and negative opinions about the property.

This is invaluable to home sellers.

If you want to sell your home fast and for a premium price, you can’t afford botching the first impression.

by clearing clutter and cleaning stairways. A new coat of paint on the stairs and door is essential.

You might also consider investing in a new door handle and other hardware to modernize the space.

In addition to keeping the area clean, add attractive elements to the entryway. A potted plant or two offers a welcoming touch that reflects seasonal style. Toss worn welcome mats for fresh, new options. If you have space, a comfortable chair paints an inviting picture for potential home buyers.

LIVEN UP THE LANDSCAPE Sprucing up the yard goes beyond pulling weeds. Start by trimming hedges and trees to create a tidy appearance. If you don’t have much greenery, adding flowers and other plants can have a dramatic visual impact. Finally, a new layer of mulch will help your landscape features pop and makes any property look instantly fresh again.

In addition to clearing brush and updating plants, enhance outdoor spaces with thoughtful use of landscape lighting. Pathway lights on walkways, accent lights in planters, and garden lights around the porch make a space more stylish and useful. Plus, when home buyers view the property in the evening, beautiful lighting will impress them the moment they pull in the driveway.

Impressive curb appeal doesn’t have to cost a small fortune.

From garage door enhancements to landscape lighting, these quick fixes can capture the attention of buyers and hopefully even start a bidding war.

Letting go and moving on CHARLES BOGUE Once you’ve made the decision to put your home on the market for sale it is in your own best interest to “let go” of your pride of ownership and do whatever is necessary to attain the highest price possible in the current market. After many years of crafting the feel and appearance of your home to satisfy your needs and experience it is often difficult to distance yourself from your efforts and realize your creation has become a product on the market along with all others.

Having enjoyed your Napa h o m e ove r t h e years, perhaps raising a family or entertaining friends, it is now time to prepare your property and your attitude to Realtor Charles Bogue attract that next buyer who can see themselves fulfilling their personal dream in the next chapter of their lives. Sometimes pride in one’s own improvements and creativity can stand in the way of others seeing how they might live in and recreate their lives in that very same space.

By over improving or over decorating in one direction it is possible to place your “personal brand” on the home and end up decreasing its value in comparison to a more neutral color scheme or easier flowing floor plan. Here are a few tips and thoughts in helping you to let go and move on.

One aspect of “letting go” is to place trust in your selected professional Realtor. Bring your agent in when you first decide to put your home on the market. He or she will create a team including a professional stager and photographer who can guide you to what actions and changes will attract buyers and give you the highest rate of return in the marketplace for your money or labor invested.

“Let go” of your own ideas and accept the advice of the professional stager. Taking this attitude will better serve your

ultimate goal of obtaining the highest price possible. By complying with the direction that less is better and removing personal photographs, artworks and collectibles the viewing will be enhanced and allow prospects to see themselves creating their own experience in what was your home. Set aside neighbors and friends well-meaning suggestions on how to prepare your home for sale and go with seasoned professionals who know what works and what does not when it comes to attracting would be buyers.

Don’t obstruct or discourage opportunities for your home to be shown to potential buyers. For sellers, inconvenience is part of the home selling process. If you are

advised by your professional that open houses are useful in attracting prospects, make your home available. Minimize unnecessary restrictions on showing appointments and accept that not everyone might want to buy your home but they might know someone who does.

Accept that “maximum exposure equals highest price.”

Ask your Realtor what marketing tools and strategies are working in today’s market and trust their research and experience. Why be an expert when you are already paying for one?

After defining the likely profile and demographic of the buyer for your home, trust your agent and their marketing experience to use the tools and strategies

to reach those prospects. Your agent’s experience of past sales and developed relationships with fellow agents are critical to creating the successful sale of your home.

Don’t take reactions to your home personally. Once your home is on the market it becomes a product available for sale and is no longer “yours.” With that in mind accept all feedback, positive or negative, as a learning experience about what it is prospective buyers are looking for or how other agents see your property compared to others. Feedback provides input on how your property is perceived and creates an opportunity to mitigate or resolve an issue. It’s critical that you not be present at open houses or showings, as this can minimize the opportunity to gain valuable input.

Set your thoughts, energy and activities on your new move.

Placing your home on the market is a commitment to selling.

That decision made, keep your focus on preparation for packing and moving and start to look for your future home. Because the greatest fear of change is the unknown, create a new chapter in your life by exploring where you want to live, how much money you will be saving and all of the benefits that will follow your successful sale.

Don’t let the process of selling your home become more stressful than it needs to be. Place your trust in the judgement of professionals, price realistically in your current market and “let go” of the process. Before you know it you will have “moved on” and be happily settled and will have achieved all of the goals that once seemed impossible.

“Foxbow” rising

A Napa developer has submitted a pre-application with the city to create a mixed-use development called Foxbow along First Street near the Oxbow Public Market. This is an aerial view of the proposed design, looking south at the corner of Soscol Avenue and First Street.

JENNIFER HUFFMAN j huf f m an@nap ane w s . com First there was Oxbow. Now there’s Foxbow.

A Napa developer has submitted a pre-application with the city to create a 134,000-square foot, mixed-use development along First Street, diagonal from the popular Oxbow Public Market.

Named Foxbow, the project would include two four-story buildings with below-grade parking, a pedestrian bridge crossing over the Wine Train tracks, 10,000 square feet of retail, a 74-key boutique hotel, six residential condominium units and 116 parking spaces.

According to the applicant, Napa Realtor and developer J.B. Leamer, the goal is “to create a project significant enough to act as the gateway to the Oxbow District and the core of Napa.,” It would include a pedestrian sky bridge, pool and roof deck.

Leamer was unable to project an estimate of the

project’s cost.

“We’re excited about what could happen here,” ideally something sizable, prominent and potentially iconic, Leamer said.

He declined to name his partners in the project, only to describe the team as a local “young development group.”

Everyone — from designers to investment partners — all live in Napa, he said. “This was a deliberate move to ensure everyone had a vested interest in the outcome of the project.”

Two existing homes and four buildings would be cleared to make way for the project. A home on the corner of McKinstry and Water Street is not included in the development.

Napa City Community Development Director Rick Tooker said it was too early to comment on

ng

A view of the proposed Foxbow development, looking north, with Water Street in the foreground.

the plans, as they had just been submitted. It’s a conceptual design, he noted.

“We’re going to have to look really closely at the Oxbow District. There are three to five other properties that are at some stage” of development or redevelopment, including the former Ritz-Carlton property on Silverado Trail, the County Water Street property, this property and the proposed Black Elk project on First.

“Not every one of them can have a hotel,” Tooker noted.

“We’ll have to look carefully at the vision for that particular area and work with the property owners.”

Foxbow would sit on 1.07 acres, representing parcels owned by various owners who have agreed to be part of the project.

The west building is bordered

by First Street to the north, the Wine Train tracks to the east, Napa River to the south and Soscol Avenue to the west.

The east building is bound by First Street to the north, a private residence to the east, Water Street and the Napa County corporation yard to the south and the Wine Train tracks to the west.

“Having a high concentration of lodging in the Oxbow District makes sense as this is where our visitors will come to eat and shop regardless of where they may stay.

Being able to provide boutique lodging in the Oxbow District will enhance the guest experience,” read the pre-application.

According to the application, 75 percent of Napa Valley visitors come to the Oxbow District.

Providing ample lodging, retail and residential to support this traffic is vital to Napa and the Oxbow District.

Target tenants for the retail include a specialty grocer or deli, artisan restaurants with p a t i o s e a t i n g , “a n d u n i q u e retailers who offer authentic Napa experiences. This mixeduse environment will keep people in walking distance to the most popular areas of Napa and stimulating local businesses.”

The design is described as “Farmhouse modern and industrial architecture” that will blend Napa’s history “with a tasteful yet modern appeal,” said the applicant.

The architecture is compatible with neighboring developments, including the Oxbow Public Market, the proposed mixed-use Black Elk development on the north side of First and CIA at Copia project, the developer said.

Subterranean parking would use a mechanical parking system.

“This eliminates the potential eyesore created by a parking structure while providing the convenience of onsite parking,” according to the pre-application.

Local architect Stephen R. Cuddy has put together a design with energy-saving features.

The project plans to incorporate rainwater collection and harvesting, water conservation and green building technologies, using materials with high recycled content.

“We will have a lot more to share after we have time to work with community leaders regarding this project,” said Leamer.

Leamer said it would be anywhere from 18 to 36 months before it’s feasible to break ground.

He couldn’t yet say if the proposed condos would be sold or rented. The team wants to get feedback from city and community first, he said.

The property is immediately north of the Napa County corporation yard. That parcel is currently for sale, as is the south Copia parking lot next to it.
