Evermoor Planned Unit Development Amendment City Planner Pearson presented an amendment request that would change two neighborhoods in the Evermoor development. The Distinctive Townhomes (Innisfree) north of Birger Pond would become detached units (single family) instead of twinhomes. And, the Active Senior neighborhood, Crosscroft, south of Shannon Park Elementary School, will have a new street design that simplifies circulation and creates a larger space for the Association building. This eliminates the street connection to Shannon Parkway after Phase II, and allows additional units as a result of efficiencies created through the new street design. Architectural renderings of the housing styles were submitted for the amendment request. Additional landscaping was added including 48 blue spruce trees. Council was pleased with the additional single family units. Councilmember Edwards did not approve of the small lot size. Councilmember Klassen reported that the construction operations now in progress need some signage for safety on Shannon Parkway and when large equipment is left, it should be parked in an orderly fashion.
