Skyranch in Santee

[quote=AN]I’m not sure if you’ve been to Sky Ranch or not but the houses are definitely not 35-100 feet apart. Like I said in my prior post, it’s more like 12-16 feet vs 6-10 feet in your average tract home areas (which includes MM).[/quote]

No, I haven’t been there, AN. I’m thinking of the typical 1/2 AC lot in Bonita which puts most of the tract houses 35-50 ft apart. If these lots are 1 AC, how wide are they?? How much of the lot is slope and how much is usable? In Bonita, a typical 1/2 AC lot would be 66% to 100% usable, depending on the tract (avg. of 75% usable).

12-16 feet apart sounds like houses on 7500 – 10,000 sf lots in my (dtn. Chula) neighborhood.

I didn’t bust out the tape measure, so I don’t know exactly, but it looks like 12-16 feet between houses. Maybe 20′? I assume the 1 acre lot in Sky Ranch probably have usable space of 1/4-1/2 acre. These house are wide, so you can’t really compare with many tract homes. Like I said before, the spacing and house foot print feels like Stonebridge, but a little narrower. It’s roughly 25-50% wider than your typical tract house. That’s why the lot is big, yet there’s not an abundant yard space. The lot is big enough to fit a 3500 sq-ft single story yet still have plenty of back yard and side sitting area (back yard is probably 15-20′ deep?).

Since you’re familiar w/ Bonita, here’s a good frame of reference: http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-100012274-1529_Country_Vistas_Ln_Bonita_CA_91902. The house is probably as wide as this one, but the back yard is probably 1/2 as deep. If you look at houses in this Bonita development, I think it’s probably similar to the house size and lot size and spacing of Sky Ranch.

AN, the link you provided is located in “McMillin’s Rialto” tract, the newest (1989-1991) and ONLY tract in Bonita with MR. These lots are a minimum of 100 feet wide. This particular lot is a “premium lot” with private concreted RV access from the back of the lot out onto Crestview. It has an uphill “bank” in back of about 12′ to Bonita Long Cyn (walking and horse trails.) This takes up about 1200 sf. of the 2/3 AC lot with iceplant and block wall. I have been to several backyard parties on this street and I can tell you that the backyards ALONE are from 60 – 110 feet deep.

My backyard is 35 feet deep on my little “city lot.”

I don’t believe the SkyRanch footprint is as big as the footprint in the two one-story Rialto models. I did not see any one-story models in the Sky Ranch pics but maybe I didn’t look thru all of them.

Weren’t the Sky Ranch plans more than 3000 sf but actually all two-stories? If so, the *true lot* they are built on (minus the steep “rattlesnake” slope) is 1/4 AC (10,890 sf) to 1/2 AC (21,780 sf). Being generous and allocating 2000 sf to their “footprint,” I would estimate them to be about 12-22 ft. apart.

BR, there is a 3500 sq-ft single story model. The biggest house in that development is >4100 sq-ft.
