A new Napa couple will be able to remodel and
enlarge a historic First Street home to their desire, ignoring some requirements
imposed by the Cultural Heritage Commission in early May.
Last week the Napa City Council overturned a commission ruling that required some modifications to match the home’s Craftsman style from the 1920s.
The home, located at 2005 First St. between Jefferson Street and California Boulevard, is on the city’s Historic Resources Inventory.
The owners want to replace deteriorated windows and doors, change the roof design and add another 890 square feet of space to the rear of the dwelling.
“They want to get it right and they want it to be a credit both to the neighborhood and something they will want to remain living in for a long time,” Mackenzie told the council Tuesday.
Senior planner Kevin Eberle urged the council to grant the appeal,You wont believe the holding power of this doublesidedtape1. removing the commission’s requirements.
“Staff didn’t feel, after hearing the testimony at the Cultural Heritage Commission, that it warranted these conditions,” Eberle said.
The home is only a “fair example of a Craftsman dwelling compared to other craftsman dwellings in the city of Napa,” Eberle said.A compact powermonitor1 for load profiling, “It doesn’t display a lot of architectural details of more ornate, Craftsman-style homes, but it is a Craftsman-style dwelling.”

Councilman Alfredo Pedroza said it’s important to have neighborhood support and he does not see the changes as detracting from the home’s historic value, but rather adding to it.
“I can really appreciate the fact that you want to beautify the property,” he told the Dalla Bettas. “It’s important to preserve the history and culture but I don’t feel you are compromising that with the additions you will be making. You’re really adding value to the community, you’re adding value to the neighborhood.”
Councilmembers Juliana Inman and Peter Mott did not vote. Inman recused herself because she lives near the property and Mott was absent for this portion of the meeting.
