6. OLD BUSINESS
EVERMOOR DEVELOPMENT (KELLEY TRUST) – PARK PLAN UPDATE
Committee discussed types of play structures for Evermoor Development. The consensus was to avoid wood products that rot and recommend metal or recycled wood products with natural earth
tones. Dan Schultz will inform the developer that the Committee would like to approve the play structures and also request a proposal.
Schultz shared the developer’s proposal for the trail connections. He had met earlier with the representatives from Shannon Park Elementary regarding trail connections to the school
and shared that information with the developer. The School would like the trail on the south side of the. If built, Schultz will check with the school to see if they would plow the
trail on their property. A joint powers agreement may need to be drawn up. The Committee was not in favor of swapping trails and would like to keep the trail connection behind the
houses. Jennifer Pauley from the Site Council had asked Dan Schultz if the City would help fund the new playground expansion for Shannon Park. Committee stated that if we helped one
school, we would need to help them all and it is not feasible.
Committee reviewed a map with the developer’s proposed names for the parks and open space. Four of the names the Committee is concerned with include #3 Curve Keel Hill; #4 Innisfree
Park; and #17 Odley’s Field. Schultz will inquire about the names from the developer. He will also pass along the thought of using current park names in conjunction with new park
areas.
