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 /> community facilities can add to thecharm 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 hasto offer in the quality of its public schools , parks <br /> and public buildings , 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 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 - The present post office in Hugo is <br /> considered ample enough to serve the needs of the Village to <br /> the year 1990 . <br /> 4. Schools - Assumingthe limited population increase no new <br /> schools will be needed before 1990 . The two existing elementary <br /> schools have considerable acreage for expansion purposes . <br /> Although the White Bear District does own property in west <br /> Hugo , with decreasing enrollments in their other elementary <br /> schools , bussing will be pursued to accommodate the short <br /> range needs of Hugo . <br /> 5 . Park and Recreation Facilities - Recreational activities are <br /> generally divided into two types - active and passive . Active <br /> recreation includes 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 . Facilities for active and passive <br /> recreation should be available to the public on three levels : <br /> 30 <br />
