The people paying for the schools SHOULD have priority. That’s just common sense.
And the water park with the gate now – again, this is pretty straight forward.
Even with the restriction to 4S residents, the park is PACKED during the Summer. When there was no gate, other schools and daycare centers were (quite literally) bringing kids in by the busload to use the park.
So the people who lived there were both crowded out, and ended up footing the maintenance bill to pay for everyone else coming into the community to use the park. The maintenance on a water park is not cheap!
Another arguable upside of Mello Roos is that it is very difficult to close a school that was built using Mello Roos funds. A few years ago they tried to close Ashley Falls school in CV; the parents (naturally) complained and the effort was given up. According to the district website, closing a Mello Roos supported school is theoretically possible but fraught with legal complications.
it is well known monterey ridge and stone ranch elementary are both already impacted. with the new homes from monteluz and others finishing up, the pressure on monterey ridge would be even greater.
bernardo points may be right adjacent to monterey ridge on the east side, but it is the most logical community to cut so the moneterey ridge impaction doesn’t reach critical mass as there is no other areas to cut away.
