Our research teams contacted some locals in the real estate profession, in Mountain House on 6\/20\/15, and were told there had been NO media coverage that they had noticed in Mountain House. \u00a0NO Media was there, that they noticed, about the nationwide announcement that there were ONLY a few days left of water available for the community. \u00a0In-fact one realtor only heard about the water curtailment on the community Facebook and an out of state relative who called with concern. \u00a0Another local comment the entire situation seemed strange, very strange . . . \u00a0We were told Mountain House was a branch off of Tracy, California which is ten minutes drive time away . . . There are no stores or shops in Mountain House yet, however, the development was required to reach a certain number of roof tops to start construction on stores &#8211; and they have met that build out number . . . \u00a0A NEW high school has JUST been completed! \u00a0Now they plan to start building a business center.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The USDA home loans have very stringent requirements and strict windows of income brackets. \u00a0These loans are difficult for buyers to qualify and meet the income criteria. \u00a0(more below about USDA home loans &#8211; below)<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>Mountain House has its own fire department and the police is the highway patrol . . . \u00a0Seems there might be ties to the corporation that acquired the land, SunChase Holdings and Rothschild . . .

The water shortage could have a significant impact upon the board and all the homeowners if they find their costs must go up to defray trucked in water and possible holding tanks for water storage should the community receive NO more water. . .<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>Mountain House has the ideal conditions to be used as a template to shut off water. . \u00a0It&#8217;s really not a city. \u00a0Remember, Mountain House is a census-designated place, or CDP, a term assigned by the U.S. Census Bureau to communities that resemble cities and have no sort of municipal government. \u00a0Also Mountain House is a smart community following the UN Agenda 21 policies of which deep water cuts are called for.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>Keep in mind we do NOT have a Water Shortage. \u00a0We have Primary Water &#8211; water that is continuously created within the mantel of the Earth. \u00a0Water is RENEWABLE . . .

The tribelet\u2019s territory extended westward along Old River to just west of Bethany. In the late 18th century the Spanish explorers led by Juan Bautista de Anza, traveled from the San Francisco Bay to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The Spanish never settled in this region and the land was mostly used for agriculture and stopping off points for transportation and trade.<\/p>\n<p>The name Mountain House originates from the Gold Rush era. When miners traveled from San Francisco to the Sierra foothills, they often rested about midway at a house called &#8220;Mountain House&#8221; at the bottom of a range of hills. The first Mountain House structure took the form of a blue tent and was built in 1849 by Thomas Goodall. With the help of American Indians, Goodall built an adobe house on the site where Mountain House became a rest stop for miners, stockmen, rancheros and immigrants. Simon Zimmerman purchased the stop and through his hard work Mountain House became a famous way station on the road to Stockton.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"ecxcolumn\">\n<p>In 1940, the last remaining structure of Bethany, the Bethany Post Office was torn down. Since then, the land in the Mountain House area has primarily been used for agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>In the mid-1980\u2019s, the process of creating Mountain House was started as an idea. It took until 1994 when the County Board of Supervisors approved that Mountain House would be included in the San Joaquin General Plan. In 1996 the Mountain House Community Services District was formed.<\/p>\n<p>The Mountain House Community Service District\u2019s Sphere of Influence covers an area of 4,784 acres or almost 7.5 square miles. The current Master Plan for Mountain House envisions a community with 12 separate neighborhoods (\u201cvillages\u201d) plus a Town Center that will provide approximately 21,000 jobs, approximately 16,000 dwelling units for a population of over 44,000 people.<\/p>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"ecxlayoutArea\">\n<div class=\"ecxcolumn\">\n<p>In 1991, SunChase Holdings acquired most of the land that would become Mountain House as an assemblage of optioned parcels. The Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified for the Mountain House project in March 1992; however, Mountain House was not added to San Joaquin County General Plan at that time by the Board of Supervisors.<\/p>\n<p>In February 1993, the San Joaquin County\u2019s Board of Supervisors certified the EIR and finally included the proposed Mountain House community in the San Joaquin County General Plan. Mountain House was intended to be added as an amendment to the San Joaquin County General Plan 1995. The master developer was required to help form the Community Services District in 1996 which would be the municipal government within the Mountain House jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>The master developer proceeded to secure all necessary local, state and federal entitlements and permits in order to break ground and begin construction in 2001. The first residents of Mountain House bought their homes and moved to Mountain House in June 2003.<\/p>\n<p>By 2008, there were over 1,000 registered voters in Mountain House which was the number required to hold an election deciding the independence of the Community Services District from San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors. In November 2008, Mountain House residents voted to have a locally elected Board of Directors; and, five (5) of eighteen (18) candidates were elected to serve on the first Board of Directors. They were: Matthew Balzarini, James Lamb, Eric Payne, Andy Su, and Bernice K. Tingle. The locally elected members of the Board of Directors were sworn into office in December 2008.<\/p>\n<p>District Authority<\/p>\n<p>The Mountain House Community Services District is a political subdivision of the State of California, formed in 1996, in accordance with the Community District Services Law in Government Code Section 61000. When created, the Local Agency Formation Commission granted the District the following eighteen (18) separate governmental powers to exercise within the boundaries of the district:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"section\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"ecx99832ce0-1c2c-4766-9c92-e4b8fa261052\" src=\"https:\/\/blu185.afx.ms\/att\/GetInline.aspx?messageid=dac5d1b7-185f-11e5-81de-6c3be5a74bc4&amp;attindex=2&amp;cp=-1&amp;attdepth=2&amp;imgsrc=cid%3a4DAB4BF2-0CA1-4C39-84A0-C2C7E7FD63BF&amp;cid=6c0a1c1d49a963af&amp;hm__login=arccopy&amp;hm__domain=hotmail.com&amp;ip=10.148.108.8&amp;d=d4878&amp;mf=0&amp;hm__ts=Sun%2c%2021%20Jun%202015%2022%3a04%3a34%20GMT&amp;st=%2800067FFEBD1DB929%29&amp;hm__ha=01_0f2b5c646ff98e0ab703683bc742d77d5537564192437a151a6b9a972c4c1125&amp;oneredir=1\" alt=\"page18image16928\" width=\"93\" height=\"2\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"ecxlayoutArea\">\n<div class=\"ecxcolumn\">\n<ol>\n<li>Water services.<\/li>\n<li>Sewer services.<\/li>\n<li>Garbage services.<\/li>\n<li>Fire protection.<\/li>\n<li>Public recreation.<\/li>\n<li>Street lighting.<\/li>\n<li>Library buildings and services.<\/li>\n<li>Convert utilities to underground.<\/li>\n<li>Police protection.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ecxcolumn\">\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li>Road maintenance.<\/li>\n<li>Transportation services.<\/li>\n<li>Graffiti abatement.<\/li>\n<li>CC&amp;R enforcement.<\/li>\n<li>Flood control protection.<\/li>\n<li>Pest and weed abatement.<\/li>\n<li>Wildlife habitat mitigation.<\/li>\n<li>Telecommunications services.<\/li>\n<li>Dissemination of information.\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"ecxlayoutArea\">\n<div class=\"ecxcolumn\">\n<p>District Authority cont.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the District has the following general powers: sue and be sued; purchase, receive by gift or bequest and hold land, make contracts and purchases and hold personal property necessary to the exercise of its powers, manage, sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of its property as the interest of its inhabitants require; levy and collect taxes authorized by law and exercise such other and further powers as may be especially conferred by law or as may be necessarily implied from those expressed.
