Sketch Plan Submittal January 12, 2026 Frenchman Village Page 2 of 6 (Downtown Plan) The east end of the development will be a combination of commercial/office buildings and rear-loaded townhomes. This development area has been configured to meet the intent of the Hugo Downtown Plan within the physical constraints of the site. As discussed in the Downtown Plan, this area will focus on a “sense of arrival” Downtown. The plan will include gateway elements/signage and landscaping to convey the sense of Character that the Hugo Downtown Plan envisions. (Downtown Plan Transportation and Pedestrian Access) The Hugo Downtown plan recommends improvements to street access and connectivity as well as enhancements to pedestrian access and walkability. The Frenchman Village development will address transportation recommendations with the connection of Fenway Avenue from its present terminus north to Frenchman Road and the extension of Victor Path across the entire site to its current terminus at the west end of the site. A Pedestrian pathway will be constructed on the south side of Frenchman Road along the length of the site. A path will also be constructed on the west side of the Fenway Avenue extension. A third pathway will be constructed along the south side of the Downtown area. This path will connect the HWY 61 trail corridor west to the proposed City Park, thence west through the open space area lying south of the single-family homes before connecting to the Oneka Parkway trail system. Concrete sidewalks will be extended throughout the single-family neighborhood and as necessary to connect the townhome/commercial areas to adjacent trails. The schedule of land use/product types, quantities, areas and densities is as follows: 55’ single family homes 140 34.69 Acres (35.7%) 4.0 U/A Front loaded town homes 88 9.78 Acres (10.0%) 15.9U/A Rear loaded town homes 62 5.54 Acres (5.7%) 11.2 U/A East Commercial Retail 59,650 SF 6.96 Acres (7.2%) West Commercial Retail 35,420 SF 4.36 Acres (4.5%) Ponding/Flood Storage 21.5 Acres (22.2%) Public Park 4.0 Acres (4.1%) Right-of-Way/Landscaping 10.17 Acres (10.5%) PARKS A City Park is proposed south of the Single-Family area and west of the Fenway Avenue Extension. The park is approximately 4 acres and provides excellent walkability to the single family and downtown area. Limited on-street parking bump outs will be provided along Victor Pathway and Fenway Avenue. The park will be at the hub of trail and sidewalk connections proposed as part of the development. A private Clubhouse/Pool for the development is also proposed at the northwest corner of the single- family area, adjacent to the existing MCES lift station. This facility will provide an enclosed gathering place for development residents with opportunities for outdoor gathering and play to be determined.
