Funding was received through an <br />active living partnership project with Living Healthy Washington County and the Statewide Health <br />Improvement Program (SHIP). The total cost of the feasibility study, preliminary design, and project report is <br />estimated to be $13,000 with $10,000 being covered by the SHIP funds. WSB completed the site evaluation <br />and proposed three potential trail layouts. The Parks Commission discussed the options at their meeting of <br />June 19, 2019. <br /> <br />Staff met with representatives of Wilson Tool and sent notification letters to other potentially impacted <br />property owners. Noting all of the input received, WSB revised the trail concepts. Candace Amberg and <br />Jordan Gedrose from WSB will present the revised feasibility study. <br />PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED CONCEPTS. <br /> <br />Sunset Lake Future Park Planning <br />At the meeting of October 18, 2018, the Parks Commission approved a park dedication proposal for The <br />Preserve on Sunset Lake. The proposal included dedication of .93 acres of land on Sunset Lake adjacent to <br />the .7 acre city-owned parcel. The Parks Plan states that “providing access to and protect Hugo’s water <br />resources including wetlands, lakes, and streams is encouraged to build a connected, multi-function parks <br />system”. At the time of the development approvals, there was neighborhood interest in those parcels being <br />developed into a park. Both the Parks Commission and the City Council included planning the future park in <br />their 2019 goals. <br /> <br />At the meeting of April 17, 2019 the Parks Commission approved a timeline and planning proposal from WSB <br />and Associates. Candace Amberg and Jordan Gedrose from WSB will present two concepts for a park at <br />Sunset Lake. Staff recommends discussion and direction on any needed changes to the concept plans and <br />that a neighborhood meeting be set for September 18, 2019. <br />PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED CONCEPTS.
