The Meadows at Hugo Sketch Plan application. Further is was recommend that the street be constructed at the developer's expense, if access was needed for the development of the property to the east. The developer is also proposing that the City construct the public street and utilities through the City property (Outlot L) to the east for access for the development. Alternatively, they are proposing to construct the public street at the developer's expense, if they can develop the 10 lots as shown on the north side of the road in the sketch plan. Staff recommends that the Commission offer to make the land available for construction of the street at the developer's expense, but not allow the development of the lots as shown on the plan. The intersection at 159th Street and Farnham Avevue would remain with no stop controls at 159th Street and a stop condition on Farnham Avenue from the north and south. Further evaluation of any minor intersection modifications would be evaluated during the preliminary plat phase. Parks Commission Update: The developer's proposal was evaluated by the Parks Commission at its March 20, 2019, meeting. The Parks Commission has not yet planned the future park. They discussed that during the approval of the Oneka Place development there was concern over the lack of parking for the future park and the possibility of a parking lot off of Farnham Avenue North. The future park was discussed as being passive with trails, at least in the short-term. There was not a strong interest in active park features such as a playground or ball fields in the near future. Additional planning and discussion is needed for the park, but they did not expect that to happen this year. Since there is not plan for the park, The Park Commission recommended making the land available for construction of the street at the developer's expense, but not allow the development of the lots as shown on the plan. They discussed wanting to keep their options open for a parking lot to be constructed for the park or if any active amenities were desired. Utilities As identified in the City's Comprehensive Water Supply and Distribution Plan, a 24" trunk watermain will need to be extended north from the water tower location. The 24" water main should be extended north through the development with the City paying for oversizing costs. The City's Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan identifies the way in which properties are to be served by sanitary sewer. A sanitary sewer connection to the Met Council Interceptor is identified at 165th Street with a 33" trunk main. The proposed sketch plan identifies a connection to the Interceptor approximately 1320 feet south of 165th Street. Oversizing of the trunk main would be the responsibility of the City of Hugo. While the proposed sewer connection is different than what is shown on the Comprehensive Plan, it does propose an alternative was to serve the development and other properties due to the difficulties of the sanitary sewer planned to be available from the north and watermain being available from south. Staff does feel this is a reasonable option, however, drainage and utility easements will be required in order to allow the sanitary sewer to be constructed out to 165th
