.e <br /> PART I V. <br /> GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS AND PLAN PROPOSALS <br /> 1 . Hugo will be able to provide sanitary sewer service through <br /> the western one-third to one-half of the Village through <br /> the Metropolitan Sewer District and therefore will be able <br /> to guide and direct the greatest concentration of growth <br /> within this area . <br /> 2. As evidenced by the recent boom in apartment and townhouse <br /> construction in the Metropolitan area , it is assumed that <br /> the trend will continue towards a wider variety of housing <br /> types with singlefamily development having a smaller role <br /> in the total housingmarket than in the past. This trend , <br /> utilizing planned unit development and "cluster" platting <br /> procedures , would not only benefit many landowners who own <br /> marginal land but would also preserve additional "open <br /> space" . (Reference "Cluster" Platting Concept following . ) <br /> 3. The automobile will continue to be therimar mode of <br /> p y <br /> transportation in the Village through the next two decades . <br /> 4. The existing thoroughfare system has numerous limitations <br /> in its ability to properly accommodate the potential traffic <br /> demand . It is assumed that these deficiencies will be <br /> corrected through the development of a highly efficient <br /> thoroughfare system utilizing guidelines set forth by the <br /> State , County and the Metropolitan Council . <br /> 5. Major areas of natural beautywill be maintained in <br /> perman- <br /> ent open space as conservancy areas or in "Greenbelts" . <br /> 6 . Sites for all public uses should be acquired before the <br /> needs for any particular facility becomes acute. <br /> 7 . In the future , following adoption of the Municipal Plan , all <br /> proposed developments should be related to the Municipal <br /> Plan . Deviations should be permitted only if it can be <br /> demonstrated that the proposed change is equal to or better <br /> than that envisioned by the Municipal Plan . <br /> 8. Future governmental structure must be a consideration <br /> in <br /> the planning process . The size , shape , and responsibilities <br /> of local governmentwill greatly affect planning for public <br /> facilities and services . <br /> 9 . The social and economic aspects of the urban environment <br /> must be given continual review; no longer can planning be <br /> concerned primarily with the physical aspects of the <br /> environment. <br /> 19 <br />
