Background <br />Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Commission <br />Meeting of December 15, 2021 <br />Hugo City Hall, 7:00 pm <br />Approve Minutes from November 17, 2021 Meeting <br />Staff recommends approval of the minutes of the Parks Commission meeting of November 17, 2021. <br />PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED MINUTES. <br />Oneka Trail Feasibility Study <br />Lions Park and a new WBLAS Elementary School are under construction. A pedestrian connection between <br />Lions Park, the school, and the existing trail along Oneka Parkway is desirable. The natural open space owned <br />by the City and School District is substantial, but the majority of it is wetlands. At the meeting of April 21, <br />2021, a proposal from WSB was approved to study the feasibility of trails in this area for $16,000. It included <br />mapping the approved wetland delineations of the various parcels, delineating remaining wetlands, as well as <br />preparation and evaluation of conceptual trail alignments and a concluding report. Candace Amberg from <br />WSB will present the concept plans. <br />THE CONCEPTS AND WETLAND MAP ARE ATTACHED. <br />Sunset Lake Property Review <br />At the meeting of October 18, 2018, the Parks Commission approved park dedication of .93 acres with the <br />Preserve on Sunset Lake adjacent to the city's .7 acre property on Sunset Lake. The Parks Plan states that <br />"providing access to and protect Hugo's water resources including wetlands, lakes, and streams is <br />encouraged to build a connected, multi -function parks system". At the time of the development approvals, <br />there was neighborhood interest in those parcels being developed into a park. Both the Parks Commission <br />and the City Council included planning the future park in their 2019 goals and a proposal was approved from <br />WSB to plan the park. Concepts were revised by the Commission in August, and a neighborhood meeting <br />was held at the September 18, 2019 meeting. <br />At the neighborhood meeting, residents commented about over fishing, what people would use the property, <br />preventing on -road parking, trash problems, reducing the number of parking spots available, preventing <br />winter access, and other concerns. There were conflicting opinions shared about what road the property <br />should be accessed from and the type of amenities to be offered in the park. The Parks Commission <br />continued discussions at additional meetings and staff was directed to prepare traffic counts and fishing info. <br />At the meeting of February 19, 2020, the Parks Commission reviewed traffic estimates prepared by WSB and <br />information provided by the DNR. The Commission unanimously directed staff to scale down plans and look <br />into cost estimates for a reduced parking lot. The March 2020 meeting was cancelled due to COVID 19. <br />In 2021, a letter was received from a resident requesting use of the property. Staff provided a re -cap of <br />previous discussions at the Commission meeting of March 17, 2021. The Commission directed staff to <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Parks Commission Agenda <br />December 15, 2021 <br />
