<br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Parks Commission Minutes <br />August 16, 2017 <br />Matze shared that four main community priorities have been identified from the feedback provided, <br />including; an integrated parks and trails system, safe recreation for all users, all‐access facilities, and <br />preserving natural resources. The Commissioners asked that improved recreational water access, the <br />development of Lions Park, supporting of downtown development, and guidelines addressing parking <br />concerns also be included. <br /> <br />Building on the community priorities and polices in the 2030 plan, five guiding principles for the Parks, Trails <br />and Open Space Chapter have been identified. These principals will provide the foundation and the vision for <br />the chapter and will be the basis for future policy decisions. Those five priorities include; a multifunctional <br />connected parks system, high quality parks, accessibility, partnerships, and park dedication. Matze also <br />spoke on the importance of the greenway corridor as the backbone of the parks system and the foundation <br />of park and trail development. The Commissioners asked that the partnerships and park dedication priorities <br />be revised to include utilizing creative and innovative methods and solutions to plan and develop parks and <br />trails. They also stressed the importance of including additional information on the greenway corridor and <br />how it needs to be interdepartmental during the planning and development process. <br /> <br />Matze next spoke about the recreation demands that have come to focus, including; parks that are close to <br />home, multi‐access facilities, outdoor activities, and natural areas. She then shared the locational criteria <br />section that was added which will aid in making decisions as to where parks and trails should be located. The <br />Commissioners agreed that the greenway corridor should also be a focus of this section to help guide the <br />development of future parks and trails. <br /> <br />Matze explained that Landform, Inc will take the feedback received from the Parks Commission at this <br />meeting and finalize the data analysis and create an interactive pdf of the Parks, Trail and Open Space <br />Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. A draft of the Comprehensive Plan will be shared at the October 18, <br />2017 Parks Commission Meeting. There will be a public open house held on October 24, 2017 and a public <br />hearing scheduled at the December 14, 2017 Planning Commission meeting. A final copy of the 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan will be sent to the Metropolitan Council for review on January 2, 2018. <br /> <br /> <br />3. Event Updates <br /> <br />Parks Planner, Shayla Denaway updated the Commission on upcoming events: <br /> <br />The City of Hugo is partnering with the Hugo Fire Department and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office for <br />this year’s movie night in the park. On Friday, September 8, 2017 the movie “Sing” will be shown at Hanifl <br />Fields Athletic Park. Families are invited to a meet and greet with the firefighters and officers starting at <br />6:30 pm, with the movie starting at 7:30 pm. <br /> <br />The Tour de Hugo bike ride is being held on Saturday, September 23, 2017. Pre‐registrations are exceeding <br />expectations and it is projected that this year’s Tour de Hugo will have the most riders participating in the <br />seven year history of this event. <br /> <br /> <br />4.
