As part of the Planning Commission and Design & Review Board’s conditions, Empire is required to include a monument onsite with “Eco District” on a sign along with an “enrichment feature.”
Empire Communities is naming the townhome neighborhood “Pinecone Community,” and have presented a design with large metal pinecone sculptures. The monument plan includes a landscaping and maintenance plan.
The three large sculptural pinecones will be constructed from corteen steel so they rust naturally for the desired color and aesthetic.
