Construction Begins in Hansen Village By Bryan Harrison
T
he first three model homes, being built by Richmond American Homes, are going up quickly in Hansen Village, aka "Neighborhood C", in the bustling community of Mountain House, California. One of three builders contracted thus far to begin work in the latest village, Richmond American will soon be joined by Signature Homes and Woodside Homes in the first part of Phase I of the fifth village in town.
The three models currently being built are strategically placed adjacent to the nearly completed Mountain House High School, across the street on the extension of Central Parkway leading toward Grant Line Rd. A total of some 400-plus homes are slated to fill the new streets in Phase I of Hansen Village. The completion of the extension of Central Parkway at Grant Line is not slated to open until Phase II of the village, according to David Sargent, representative of master developer, Shea Mountain House, LLC. Figure it's about a year or so away, yet. A traffic study, among other logistical hoops, must be done to determine whether a traffic signal is necessary at the corner of Central Parkway at Grant Line Rd., Sargent explained. The Mountain House Master Plan calls for a total of 12 villages to be completed at full build-out. That will equate to around 14,000 homes, encompassing the land south of Grant Line toward I-205 out across "the bridge to nowhere" toward Old River. A map of the area under initial construction, as provided by Mr. Sargent at the February 26, 2014 MH Community Meeting, shows the site areas each of the three builders have secured to get the new village going.
Long-Awaited "Soft Opening" of MH Library Impresses Grand Opening Scheduled for 11am May 3rd Mountain House, April 16, 2014 - Following several delays, primarily due to the permit process, the new, temporary, home of the Mountain House Library officially opened its doors to the public today. The "Soft Opening" is a precursor to the main "Grand Opening" celebration that will take place Saturday May 3rd at the site of the new location. Attendance was light but steady as the staff settled into the new digs. Librarian, Kathleen Buffleben, was thrilled to have the doors open at last. This new facility gives us much more shelf space," she said. A more complete computer lab is set up, complete with ability to make prints, for a nominal fee. The library also has a copy machine available. continued page 11
