DISCUSSION ON WELCOMING SERVICE TO NEW RESIDENTS IN HUGO
Robin Green, a resident of Hugo,presented a plan to the EDA for a business that would
welcome new residents and businesses to the City. The company would be called
"Welcome Home Neighbor" and would provide business information, coupons, and
pamphlets/brochures to new residents and businesses. The strategy of"Welcome Home
Neighbor"is to invite the members of the Hugo Business Association to become active
participants in this welcoming service program. Robin Green was present at the meeting
to talk to the EDA about her business plan.
Bever asked if Robin would deliver the packets personally. Robin stated that she would.
Bever asked about the rural portion of Hugo and how many new residents would she be
able to handle each month. Robin stated that the program would be all inclusive so the
rural portion of Hugo would be included. She also stated that she is flexible and would
probably be able to handle 30 residents a month, if she needed people could be hired to
help.
Arcand stated that she liked the idea and has been involved with groups like this. Klein
stated the HBA tried to do something like this but time seemed to be the big issue. He
said that an outside group could work and be a good thing for the City. Thistle stated that
he is fairly new to Hugo and when he moved he received the"Welcome to Hugo"bag
from the City. He stated that it was a good tool for him to find out with was available in
Hugo and it was his go to guide.

the agenda item. Arcand asked about the time limit in years for the projects. CD Director
stated that the projects will be evaluated individually with the TIF policy and there will
be a different time limit for each projected based on the reviews.

On April 22, 2007, the 3rd annual Kidz `n Biz Fest will take place at the Oneka
Elementary School. This annual event is an opportunity for the Hugo Business
Association and the Hugo EDA to directly connect with Hugo families and children in a
PTA carnival atmosphere. The event has grown so big that it was necessary to move it to
the super-sized gymnasium at the school. This event is expected to attract more than 400
Hugo children and their families, and will once again feature the chocolate chip cookie
contest, as well as an assortment of carnival games presented by Hugo businesses with
assistance from the WBL High School and National Honor Society. Last year the EDA

board and subcommittees that are working on it. The local communities want to make
sure that Washington County is doing its part for Economic Development in its cities.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
On February 26th, the City held an open house to gather input from residents about the
community vision (i.e. what do they like about Hugo, what can be improved, how do we
want the city to look in 20 years, etc.). Approximately 70 residents attended the open
house. We asked each resident to complete a 2-page questionnaire about their vision for
Hugo. We received 14 written responses as of the date of this report. Attached were the
comment sheets and a summary of the comments for the EDA's review. The Planning
Commission met on March 8th to begin the visioning process through the SWOT
(strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis worksheet that was used at the
open house. The Planning Commission comments were attached in the packet. City
Planner, Kendra Lindahl from Landform was present at the meeting and preformed the
SWOT exercise with the EDA.
Below are the outcomes from the SWOT analysis:
Strengths:
• Location
• Major Roads (1-35E, Highway 61, CSAH 8)
• Rail Service
• Parks, Trails, Lakes, Recreation
• Existing Infrastructure (CSAR 8)
• Variety
• School System
• Rural Character(east side)
• Wildlife
• Governance
• Interaction of government with local businesses
• New businesses
• Good plan for TIF
• Growth
• Rural and suburban influences
• Proximity to metro area and airport
• Service groups (Lions, Legion, etc.)
• The people (proactive citizens)
• Housing mix
• City services (snowplowing, etc.)
Weaknesses:
• Need another industrial/commercial park
• Need a place for small businesses with outside storage
• Need a community building and library
• Need more restaurants
• Need to attract more businesses
• Lacks a unity of vision
• Downtown on Highway 61 is difficult for pedestrians
• Lack of branding/marketing
• Dissention in community
• Lack of citizen willingness to look to the future and plan
• Law enforcement (need more presence)
Opportunities:
• Develop a current/updated plan (comprehensive plan, zoning
ordinance, subdivision ordinance)
• Create character for the community that combines both rural and
urban elements
• Highway 61 corridor will complement the new downtown
• Better trails/better walkability
• Purchase strategically located properties
• Rural preservation east of Highway 61 (using cluster ordinance)
• Develop a "green" growth policy
• 170th/135E development
• Rush Line corridor(light rail)
• City appearance (building design)
Threats:
• Funding
• Negative attitudes of citizens
• The "no growth" residents
• Failure to plan will result in bad development
• Government regulations—we need to work with other agencies
• Politics
• Lack of vision/Lack of fortitude
• Environmental issues (high water tables, etc.)
Vision
• Easy community access though trails and sidewalks
• 2 distinct halves of the city—rural on the east and urban on the
west
• Looking like Toronto (green, but developed)
• Development at the 170th/1-35E intersection
• Development concentrated between Highway 61 and 1-35E
• City known by public resources provided
• Balance and variety is retained
• Public space/central park provided
• Community center
• Light rail
• Public/private cooperation for shared facilities

-LEGAL NON-CONFORMING
The subject is considered legal ran conforming as it is a residential property in a C2 commercial zoning district This
commercial zoning allows uses such as:daycare,bed and breakfast.places of worship,etc. In my opinion,this does not
adversely affect the subject's value or marketability. The subject's present legal and Non-Conforming use is acceptable to the
city. The Non-Conforming(or Grandfathered)rights will continue and will remain with the property as it changes ownership.
This has been considered and is reflected in the appraised value.

The subject is an average quality two story dwelling in average overall condition. The tollowing improvements appear to have
been completed between 15-20 years ago; added concrete block foundation,finished basement rec room with pine wet bar
(see photos all new mechanicals(electric,plumbing,and heat),gutted interior,new drywall,trim,doors,flooring,kitchen,bath
fixtures,new stucco exterior,root,etc. Despite[hese improvements,the overall condition is average as maintenance has been
minimal and decor is dated.

As mature suburbs age,they can lose the essential character that
makes them attractive to residents. Redevelopment and the resulting
reinvestment in the community help encourage residents to reinvest
in their homes and maintain a thriving downtown. City-guided
redevelopment also helps to ensure that any redevelopment that occurs
is strategic and retains the character of the community.

residents.
Just as businesses compete for customers, cities compete for resi-

housing choices, residents look elsewhere. By redeveloping, Osseo
ensures the vitality of its neighborhoods which retains and attracts
residents. Osseo offers a unique opportunity for residents who wish to
live in close proximity to a major urban center,yet still reside in a
community with a small-town feel.

Minnesota commercial real estate taxes are based upon market value of taxable property as set by the local assessor.To calculate the tax for the
current year,first compute the tax capacity by multiplying all property value up to$150,000 times.015,plus any value over$150,000 times.02.
Example:net tax capacity on a$200,000 business property:($150,000 X.015)+($50,000 X.02)_$2,250+$1,000=$3,250.Tax capacity times
the tax rate equals taxes owed.Commercial and industrial property must also pay a state property tax,which is equal to the tax capacity times the
State Tax Rate.
In some localities where voters have approved referendums,an additional referendum tax must be added,calculated by multiplying the referendum
tax rate times the total market value of the commercial property.
Please note:Specific property tax classifications and computations can be more complex and result in different tax amounts.This simplified
explanation applies in the most general situations and will allow a business to roughly estimate its potential property tax burden.The county
assessor or auditor may be able to answer questions about specific properties and uses.

on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and vision
for the City. The goal setting and visioning for the City will be
the backbone of the Comprehensive Plan. At the Public Work-

Council's and Commissions' Roles
At the recent Council and Commission meetings, the groups conducted
an exercise to analyze the strengths , weaknesses, opportunities, threats,
and visions (SWOT) for Hugo. The residents of Hugo were also asked to
do the same analysis and provide the City with the results. This gives the
City a good idea of how to set goals, outlines what people's vision is for
the future of Hugo, and provides a basis for the background that the
Comprehensive Plan will reflect. Each Commission is responsible for
making decisions and recommendations about specific elements of the
Comprehensive Plan. Once the plan is adopted, the Commissions' use
the plan as the basis for making decisions related to development.
You can find the SWOT results from the residents, Council and Commis-
sions' on our website at our 2008 Comprehensive Plan page. The City
will continue to solicit comments from the public throughout the Com-
prehensive Plan Process.
The Goal Setting and Visioning Process
At the Public Workshop on Thursday, April 26 comments from the pub-
lic, Council, and Commissions' on the SWOT analysis will be re-
