Work will start next month on a new neighborhood that some believe could provide an answer to a pressing need — funding the construction of Manteca’s fifth fire station at Atherton Drive and Woodward Avenue. Atherton Homes is starting site work for the first phase of 356 homes planned on 116 acres between Pillsbury Road and the future extension of Atherton Drive in southeast Manteca. The development firm led by Mike Atherton agreed to a pumped up “bonus buck” fee of $7,500 per home that elected leaders can spend as they please on city amenities.
