Jane 11, 2016 <br />City of Hugo Planning Commission <br />Rachel .tuba, City Planner <br />14669 Fitzgerald Ave. No. <br />Hugo, MN 55038 <br />Dear Ms. Juba <br />In the June 9, 2016 publication of The Citizen, the article "Bullish on Hugo" discussed a concept plan to <br />develop 296 units of housing on Highway fit and 130th. As a resident of both Hugo and the Fable Hill <br />neighborhood, I am very concerned about any development east of Fable Hill that will contribute to <br />increased motor vehicle traffic through this neighborhood as commuters and, in some cases trucks and <br />other service vehicles, find their way to and from 1-36 E and surrounding neighborhoods. <br />In my opinion, the roads through Fable Hill were designed to meet the Met Council's definition al "Local <br />Streets", as found in Appendix D of the Met Council's Regional 2030 Transportation Policy Plan. <br />(http: //www. metrocouncii. org/Transportation/Publications-And-Resources/2030-Transportation-Poli cy-Pl an- <br />Appendix-D-Functio.aspx) <br />Current utilization clearly shows that is not the case. Fable Hill Parkway North and Fable Hill Way North <br />are being used as "Collector Streets'. The additional traffic from any commercial, industrial, or residential <br />development that will flow through Fable Hill will result in very significant safety concerns for drivers and <br />local residents, deterioration of the roadways, and congestion. <br />In Chapter 8 'Transportation" of Hugo's Comprehensive Plan, it is clear that the city recognises this <br />problem. I Urge you take this situation into consideration not only for this development plan but any plan <br />that would involve new property development to the east of Fable Hill. A well designed east - west <br />collector street between Otter Lake Road and Fenway Ave. No, needs to be in place or traffic must be <br />routed to Frenchman Road in order to maintain or Improve our Hugo neighborhoods in this area. Hugo is a <br />wonderful place to live and we need to carefully consider how to support new development that will not <br />negatively Impact existing residential and commercial properties. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Art Anderson <br />4453 Fable Hill Parkway No. <br />Hugo, MN 55038 <br />661-482-0695 <br />Cc: Bryan Bear, Hugo City Administrator <br />Bronwen Kleissler, Planning Commission Chair ,✓ <br />Fable Hill HOA <br />
