Excerpt:

Tuesday the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approved Anderson’s plan to build out his Wing & Barrel Ranch, an upper-crust shooting club in the Sonoma baylands whose splashy plans come complete with a restaurant, a fishing pond, an 18,000-square-foot clubhouse, and a new 85-foot tower nestled among a hay field dotted with 250-foot PG&E towers.

As part of an agreement with the county, Kenwood Investments agreed to knock one story off the proposed three-story clubhouse, set aside a couple days a week for hunters of lesser means and cap club membership at 500, including 25 corporate memberships of three-persons each. The proposal was conditionally approved in 2012. According to Wing & Barrel promotional materials, those memberships are $75,000 a year for individuals, and $145,000 for corporations to enjoy the Charlie Palmer menu and premium cigars. Anderson did not respond to an email seeking comment, and a call to Platinum Advisors was not returned.
