INTRODUCTION: The Fable Hill Homeowners Association (HOA) is requesting that the open area commonly called Outlot A be considered for development as a park. Outlot A was recently deeded to the City of Hugo by Pratt Development. The Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan identifies the property as a future park. BACKGROUND: At the meeting of March 9, 2011, the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Commission discussed an application from Pratt Development for "Fable Hills Third Addition" consisting of 5 single family lots. As adopted by the City Council on June 20, 2011, Resolution 2011-14, approving the final plat for Fable Hills 3`a Addition, states: 4. Prior to recording the final plat, the developer shall pay the required park dedication fees (Currently set as $2,400 per lot, totaling $12,000). In addition, the developer shall dedicate Outlot "A," Fable Hills 1st Addition to the City. 5. Concurrent with the grading of the second lot to receive a building permit, the developer shall make improvements to Outlot "A" including the final grading, placement of adequate topsoil, and planting of grass seed. All improvements are subject to review and approval by the Public Works Director. Staff was invited to attend the Fable Hill HOA meeting of February 21, 2013. The meeting included discussion on Aspire Park and Outlot A. While the developer stated that the HOA would continue to own and maintain Aspire Park, the City of Hugo is the owner of the property and has agreed to maintain the park consistent with other Hugo parks. HOA members also discussed an interest in development of Outlot A into a park. -1- Fable Hills HOA Request July 10, 2013 3.
