Hugo Estates Apartments and Manufactured Home Community Expansion <br /> Page 5 <br /> C. Parks and Open Space; <br /> This development is in Neighborhood Park Service Area 10 which <br /> includes Oneka Ponds Park and city-owned properties. The community <br /> is immediately north of Hugo Elementary School which has a <br /> playground, hockey rink, and ball diamond. Immediately east of the <br /> community is a vacant property. In 2021, 40 townhomes to be known as <br /> Oneka Lake Reserve was proposed on that site and approved. The <br /> development has not been constructed. The approval included a small <br /> city park with a small playground and small shelter which would be <br /> adjacent to the community. North Star Elementary, on the west side of <br /> Highway 61, offers a playground,ball fields and more. <br /> d. Capital Improvement Program (CIP). <br /> There are no public streets in the proposed project. MnDOT has <br /> commented on the proposed comprehensive plan amendment. In addition, <br /> the developer would be responsible for the full cost of the infrastructure <br /> improvements needed to serve the property. No impacts will be made to <br /> the CIP with this project. The park dedication and trunk fees will be paid <br /> with the project. <br /> 6. Consideration of the impact of the proposed amendment upon current and future <br /> special assessments and utility area charges, future property tax assessments or <br /> other fiscal impacts upon the City of Hugo. <br /> The development would generate sufficient utility hookup funds and property taxes <br /> to cover the demand on City services. <br /> There is a requirement for adjacent jurisdiction review for comprehensive plan amendments. <br /> Staff has discussed the comprehensive plan amendment with the City's Sector Representative <br /> from the Met Council. Since the property is less than 40 acres, does not change the growth <br /> forecasts or TAZ allocations, and it more than one quarter mile from an adjacent jurisdiction <br /> (besides MnDOT), and the City is its own LGU for stormwater, the adjacent jurisdictional <br /> review can be waived. <br /> Staff did provide the plans to MnDOT for review and comment. Staff received comments from <br /> MnDOT and the project will be required to comply with the letter, get all permits required from <br /> MnDOT, and will be responsible for the full cost of the infrastructure improvements needed to <br /> serve the property. <br /> It is in staff s opinion that the proposed land use changes meet the criteria necessary to approve <br /> the comprehensive plan amendment. <br />
