The development of a livable community is an art as well as a <br /> science ; the art involves creation or preservation of aesthetic <br /> values such as scenic views , avoidance of the dull and common- <br /> place , and avoidance of eyesores . Properly located and developed <br /> communityfacilities. p <br /> ties can add to the charm and enjoyment of living <br /> in Hugo and enhance the value and living qualities of individual <br /> homes and business sites . <br /> The objectives of the Community Facilities Plan , therefore , are <br /> to create a desirable living environment , maximize the advantages <br /> that Hugo has to offer in the quality of its public schools , parks <br /> and public buildings , <br /> and to indicate how these are tied in with <br /> other elements of the Comprehensive Plan . <br /> The following is a listing of specific community facilities : <br /> 1 . Civic Center - This facility would be an enlargement of the <br /> present Village <br /> Hall and would house the Village offices and <br /> council chambers , community meeting room , a small library , <br /> and a police facility . The need for this center would not <br /> be realized until close to 1990 . <br /> 2 . Fire Station - The central facility is now adequate and <br /> should remain so in the near future , but during the late <br /> 1980 ' s it should be enlarged to take over the existing <br /> Village Hall facilities . There is a strong likelihood that <br /> if projected population figures for the year 2000 are achieved <br /> there will be a need for a second facility in the Village . <br /> 3 . Postal Facilities - Theresentpost office i n Hugo �' <br /> s <br /> considered ample enough to serve the needs of the Village to <br /> the year 1990 . - <br /> 4 . Schools - Assuming the limited population increase no new <br /> schools will be needed before 1990 . The two exi sting elementary <br /> Y <br /> schools have considerable acreage for expansionu oses . <br /> Althoughr p p <br /> the White Bear District does own property in west <br /> Hugo , with decreasing enrollments in their other elementary <br /> Y <br /> schools , bussing will be <br /> g pursued to accommodate the short <br /> range needs of Hugo . <br /> 5 . Park and Recreation Facilities - Recreational t oval actsvities are <br /> generally divided into two types - active and passive . Active <br /> recreationincludes such activities as hiking , fishing , base- <br /> ball , tennis and the like . Passive recreation includes <br /> activities such as picnicking , resting in shaded areas , bird <br /> watching , and so on .
