Parks/Trails Because of the residential density proposed and proximity to future businesses special attention should be paid to the trails and sidewalks for both recreation and transportation purposes. Additionally, the development is adjacent to the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail, which connects many of Hugo's trails and parks. According to the Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan trails and sidewalks are to be built with new developments that connect the community and ensure safe access to parks, downtown, and other important areas in the City. The developer shows the trails that were built in 2017 with Clearwater Cove on Oneka Parkway North and along the ditch.

According to the Existing and Proposed Trails Map, this trail is planned to be extended to Frenchman Avenue with the extension of the roadway. This needs to be included in the development plans. Additionally, the planned trail on the south side of Frenchman Avenue needs to be included in the development plans.

The developer has indicated that there may be a 4.2 acre park dedicated however it is shown to primarily be stormwater ponding and a ditch, which is not acceptable. The remaining dedication would be paid in fee. These are the assumptions used in order to provide an example of what the park dedication calculations could be,based on the information provided by the developer: Units Developable Acres Density Low Density Residential: 85 units 43.7 acres 1.9 units/acre Apartments: 140 units 7 acres 20 units/acre Mixes-use: 130 units 16.8 acres 7.7 units/acre Total: 355 total units 67.5 acres 5.3 units/acre Park land dedication is preferred and 10-17% of the buildable land shall be dedicated based on the density of the development. With the assumptions above, the overall density of the proposed 6 Oneka Commons Sketch Plan 2022
