A. LAND USE PLAN 1. the land use plan for Hugo is based primarily upon the Washington County Development Plan; the Metropolitan Disposal System Phase I Study for Washington County; and an interpretation of the adopted chapters of the Metro- politan Council's Development Guide. While all of these plans are somewhat general in nature, the Hugo plan is more specific. The basic land use pattern for Hugo calls for: a. A distinct separation between "urban" and "rural" areas. (The urban -rural line of demarcation will be the Metropolitan Sewer Board's District #1 boundary line.) Rural is defined as areas which should remain very low density development and not require immediate sanitary sewer systems. Development in these rural areas of Hugo should be of a large lot variety - 5 acre minimum lot size. Urban is interpretated to mean those areas which are specifically designated and planned to have sanitary sewer service. (See appended sewer plan map.) Urban development will be staged so that it does not leap -frog rural development, but is contiguous,to present urban residential areas. b. Urban density land uses are planned to straddle the - U.S. Highway #61 corridor. 2. With few exceptions, urban type residential densities should be developed northeast, southwest, and southeast of the presently urbanized areas of the "old" Village of Hugo. Sanitary sewer service will be provided to these areas by the year 1985, and these areas will be able to accommodate the 1990 projected population of 8,600. (See the Hugo Sanitary Sewer Plan, which is a part of this planning report.) 3. All low density land west of the urban/rural line of demarca- tion should be "pre -platted" to accommodate re -subdivision and more intense development when public sanitary sewer is extended into those portions of the Village in the future. Such plans need not be officially recorded as a subdivision but rather maintained on a map and as part of the building permit record if needed in the future (See "Pre -Platting" Guide following). 4. Concentrated multiple family residential and non-residential (commercial and planned unit developments) uses should be encouraged initially to develop within the soon to be sewered areas of the "old" Village. 5. Areas designated as "PUD" on the Comprehensive Plan are those probably not suited for single family home development for a variety of reasons; these may be suitable for certain types of multiple dwellings, limited commercial, institutional, or other uses permitted and controlled under conditions of a special use permit and/or a planned unit development permit. 22
