The Crossroads Community is a 687-acre planning area located in the City of Riverbank, California.

MVE became involved with the project in 2001. At that time, the city had adopted a Master Plan that was simply not able to be developed and financially unfeasible. Through MVE's efforts, a group of developers re-engineered the Master Plan to its final configuration and used creative financing to allow the development to explode out of the ground in unprecedented time frames.

MVE was utilized for all planning and pre-design aspects of the Crossroads community, including design of the street and circulation network, storm drain systems, water systems, sewer systems, supporting design circulations and financing issues. Infrastructure improvements include a 1 Million gallon water storage tank, 35,000 GPM boost pump station, 4.5 MGD sanitary sewer lift station and well site design & testing. MVE also assisted the Riverbank Crossroads LLC with fee credit resolutions resulting in a savings of $2.5 million dollars.

MVE  was brought in near the end of the NW Master Planning process. The main reason was because the City and Consulting Land Planner were developing a Community Plan that was "Gold Plated" and not financially feasible at that time. MVE worked closely with the City, Land Owners and Developers to modify the original plan into a developable and financially feasible plan.

MVE’s involvement with Northeast Turlock Master Plan includes project initiation, research & master plan coordination, topographic survey, civil improvement plans, landscape plans, improvement plan processing, construction staking and storm drain basin design.

The Northeast Turlock Master Plan is  280 acres.

The Northwest Turlock Master Plan is 370 acres located in Turlock, California.

The Bridle Ridge Specific Plan area is a 509 acre annexation area located southwest of the existing limits of the City of Oakdale. It will consist of ±1,492 single family residential units. The Specific Plan will be a front door to Oakdale, marking the transition between the surrounding agricultural landscape and the built fabric of its downtown core.

MVE became involved with the Bridle Ridge Specific Plan approximately five years ago. Prior to MVE’s involvement, the Plan was dormant for approximately ten years. Through our efforts, the Plan was adopted and approved within 18 months.

MVE was involved in all planning and pre-design aspects for the Specific Plan area. MVE’s work included the design of a street and circulation network, storm drainage systems, water systems, sewer systems, supporting design calculations and financing issues.

MVE  is the primary consultant for the Legado project and has been utilized to coordinate application, subdivision map and improvement plan approvals with Lyon County’s Community Development, Public Works and Utility departments and the State of Nevada’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
