Sunset Lake Neighborhood Meeting <br />Denaway introduced the Sunset Lake Park project and provided a brief background on the City owned <br />property along Sunset Lake. The City has a total of 1.63 acres along Sunset Lake that has been set aside as <br />park dedication from two developments: The Preserve on Sunset Lake and Royal Haven Estates. The City <br />recently did a 2040 Comprehensive Plan update, which had a large focus on park and trails. During the <br />process, the City heard from residents that they would like more access to the City's natural resources as well <br />as a broader connection to all parks and trails throughout Hugo. The potential Sunset Lake Park would <br />provide public recreational access to Sunset Lake. The site would not be a launch site for motorized boats. <br />The Parks Commission reviewed two concept plans for the Sunset Lake Park on August 21, 2019 and provided <br />comments to staff. Staff made changes to the concept plans based on the feedback from the Commissioners. <br />Denaway introduced Candance Amberg, the Landscape Architect from WSB working on the project. Amberg <br />provided an overview of the two concept plans to the residents present at the meeting. Concept One shows a <br />loop parking lot with access off of Homestead Avenue North, drop off zone for people unloading <br />unmotorized water craft, and internal park trails. Concept Two shows a drop off and unloading area, <br />
