Feasibility Report 2021 Downtown Improvements City of Hugo, MN WSB Project No. 015887-000 Page 7 A bituminous ten-foot (10’) wide trail is shown along 147th Street and extending down Fitzgerald Avenue to connect to the existing Hardwood Regional Trail along the north side of City Hall. Numerous concrete walks extend around the park perimeter and provide connection to the new amenities. These are primarily six-foot six-inches (6’6”) in width with varying widths around the pavilion. The parking lot between City Hall and the new pavilion is being redeveloped with expanded parking opportunities in the lot, as well as along the side streets with a mixture of parallel and pull-in style parking stalls. An off-street parking lot is identified in the northwest corner of the park. The City hall parking lot and northwest Lions Park parking lot areas are proposed to be included with the street improvement project bid package. Contractor coordination, similar nature of improvements and construction staging will be improved with these aspects of the project being included in the street improvement project bid package and will yield better bid pricing. Costs for the parking lots are not included in this feasibility study but are included in the preliminary cost estimates for the Lions Park Improvements. 4.4.2 CSAH 8 Water Reuse System Coordination with the 2021 Street Improvement Project The City of Hugo is proposing to construct a CSAH 8 stormwater reuse system that connects to the existing irrigation system along the length of CSAH 8 west of TH 61. Other areas proposed to be served by this water reuse system are 147th Street North, Finale Avenue, City Hall, Keystone Place, Hugo Gardens and Lion’s Park. The proposed improvements to extend the reuse system will include the installation of approximately 1,600 feet of non-potable watermain. Grant funding for this portion of the project has been secured through the Rice Creek Watershed District, Metropolitan Council, and the Minnesota Board of Water & Soil Resources (BWSR). The portions of the trunk water reuse facility that lie within the 2021 Street Improvement project area are proposed to be included in the 2021 Street Improvement Project bid package to aid in coordination of work taking place in the area and reduce costs. Cost for these water reuse efforts are not included in this feasibility study. Costs for these improvements are included in the overall CSAH 8 water reuse estimates and will be funded by grants received and the City’s stormwater fund. 4.5 Right-of-Way/Easements Easements will be required along the east end of 147th Street to allow for reconstruction to Minnesota State Aid Standards. The easements on the north side of 147th Street will include both permanent and temporary form. Temporary easements will be required along the south side of 147th Street east of Fitzgerald Avenue and along both sides of Fitzgerald Avenue from 147th Street to 146th Street to facilitate construction where existing right-of-way is constrictive. Discussions with property owners has begun and will continue should the project move forward. 4.6 Permits/Approvals The anticipated permits and approvals required, and the respective regulatory agencies are listed below: City of Hugo............................................................................RCWD Permit/Wetlands Rice Creek Watershed District (City) .............................................
