EST. 1506 <br />August 28, 2019 <br />Dear Resident, <br />14669 Fitzgerald Avenue North, Hugo, MN55038 • (651) 762-6300 • www.ci.hugo.mn.us <br />The Hugo Parks, Recreation and Open Space Commission would like to invite you to share your input on potential park <br />improvements to the City -owned property on Sunset Lake. A neighborhood meeting will be held on Wednesday, <br />September 18 at 7:OOpm at Hugo City Hall (14669 Fitzgerald Ave. N.). <br />The City of Hugo has owned a .7 acre parcel on the south-west side of Sunset Lake for many years. The City -owned <br />property was recently expanded to 1.8 acres through park dedication with the Preserve on Sunset Lake development. <br />During the approval process of the development, we heard from residents in the area that they were interested in the <br />City cleaning up the property, providing some sort of public lake access, and potential park improvements. The City - <br />owned property has previously been used for lake weed dumping. <br />The improvements under consideration include a small parking lot, walk-in kayak access, fishing pier, picnic shelter, and <br />walking paths. The Parks Commission is not considering a launch for motorized boats. One of the things that the Parks <br />Commission heard from residents when the Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan was being updated was that they were <br />interested in better access to Hugo's water resources and this property allows for that. <br />The City owns additional park land near the north end of Sunset Lake, adjacent to the Homestead Drive cul-de-sac. <br />There are no improvements proposed for that property at this time. <br />All residents are encouraged to participate and share their ideas for the potential park. Please feel free to contact me <br />at 651-762-6342 or sdenaway@ci.hupo.mn.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Shayla Denaway <br />Parks Planner <br />C: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />Parks, Recreation and Open Space Commission <br />Scott Anderson, Public Works Director <br />
