Color the envisioned 1,650 living unit at the proposed Trails of Manteca purple.
The planned neighborhood located in the southwest portion of the city at the western end of Woodward Avenue is the first that will have common areas – including 75 acres of parkland – irrigated with reclaimed water from the Manteca wastewater treatment plant.
The developer is being required to install an 8-inch purple pipe system that will stub at Woodward Avenue for connection to the future city purple pipe system to use treated wastewater for irrigation to reduce the use of expensive treated drinking water of that purpose.
Landscape irrigation for parks as well as residential lots is the biggest use of water in the city. Reducing the amount of drinking water used will conserve water as well as expand Manteca’s supply.
The planned Trails of Manteca definitely won’t be a typical Manteca neighborhood.
It will bump the 1,450-lot Del Webb at Woodbridge as Manteca’s largest subdivision when it is built out as it will have 1,650 dwelling units. That includes 1,178 single family homes, 192 townhomes, and 280 apartments.
What makes it different, though, are its features:
• It will have 75 acres of parks land and open space that is roughly five times the current ratio of parkland to a single family home in a typical development.
• Setbacks for front, back and side yards will be shortened to accommodate smaller single-family homes that in turn is expected to keep housing prices down.
• Back yards that border parkland and open space will have wrought iron “view fences”.
• It will include seven roundabouts including two on Woodward Avenue.
• There will be three bus turnouts on key streets including two on Woodward Avenue which is another first for Manteca.
• All street maintenance and operating costs will be collapsed into the landscape maintenance district.
• Sidewalks will be seperated from the street by a grass strip.
• It will include a clubhouse for residents.
• There will be 12 miles of trails for bicycles and pedestrians within the neighborhood.
The Manteca Planning Commission will consider the environmental impact report and tentative map among other related items during Tuesday’s 7 p.m. meeting at the Manteca Civic Center, 1001 W. Center St.
Two separate projects being advanced along with the Trails of Manteca will bring the number of housing units being created to 2,439 housing units between McKinley Avenue south of the Highway 120 Bypass and a slough that drains into the San Joaquin River.
They are:
• Machado Estates with 575 lots is located on the southwest corner of Airport Way and Woodward Avenue. •Terra Ranch near McKinley Avenue and the Highway 120 Bypass. It features 193 lots that will be developed by Anderson Homes and a 200-unit apartment complex being pursued by AKF Development.
Terra Ranch in all likelihood will be the first of the three to break ground as it is near existing infrastructure – sewer and water lines.
