City Council meeting of November 3, 1997 Page 3 BALD EAGLE INDUSTRIAL PARK (IN -PROGRESS REVIEW) The City of Hugo has not been able to enter into an agreement for the development of the Jackson property as part of the Bald Eagle Industrial Park expansion project, leaving the City with three options: 1) exercise the City's right of eminent domain and condemn the property, or that part of the property required for the planned extension of public streets and utilities; 2) construct Falcon/Fenway Avenues and relocate 134th Street to the north, avoiding the Jackson property; or 3) not constructing the project at all.

Planning workshops for the area have been conducted with the property owners and residents of the area. The results of these workshops are before the Planning Commission for their consideration. The City Administrator outlined two Plans for Council consideration: 1) extend utilities and make assessments, or 2) extend utilities from TH61 to the east in increments. He stated that he will be meeting with the City Engineer to determine if the 2nd option was possible. Miron made motion, Barnes seconded, that the City delay action on any proposed improvements in the Peloquin Industrial Park until strategic direction for this area's development is adopted by the City. All aye. Motion Carried.

It is expected that once adequate snowfall for the operation of snowmobiles is present, snowmobiles will be using this right of way, as they have in the past, with or without Council approval. In addition, it is legal for snowmobiles to operate in the ditch along TH61, immediately adjacent to the Hardwood Creek trail. It is a practical impossibility to differentiate
