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 ADJOURNMENT Bever made motion, Arcand seconded to adjourn the meeting at 10:30 am All aye.

17.87% Misc.Tax Rate 4.27% Total Tax Rate 134.97%.Total $1,027,695,985 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. i �• � tit �"' ���, �. �a ,: ,,; >; � � E��,. t � www.mnpro.com Commercial Buildings and Land Sitcs Building Name Type of Building [Phone ontact Name Address Total Bldg Sqft rganization City,State Zip Code Total Available Number Photo Land Site Space Available Contact Name Address Build To Suit Organization Photo City,State Zip Code Zoning Phone Number Economic Development Services Economic Development Authority: Yes Incentives Housing Redevelopment Authority: No County Development Corporation: No Chamber of Commerce: No Port Authority: No Contact Wormation Michael Ericson John Rask City Administrator Community Development Director Hugo,City of Hugo,City of 5524 Upper 146th Street N. 5524 Upper 146th Street North Hugo,MN 55038-9367 Hugo,MN 55038-9367 (612)429-6676 (651)429-6676 ext 2 MN Economic Development Organizations Type Name Phone Fax Disaster&Emergency Services Nanw Phone Number(s) Public Safety emergency resources 1-800422-0798 or metro 651-649-5451 Federal Emergency Management Agency Region V FEMA 312408-5500 Small Business Administration Disaster Resources Disaster Area Offices 404347-3771 Inquiries regarding this community's data go to mnpro.admin(a�state.mn.us Print This Page-Contact Us Copyright O 1999-2007 Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development All rights reserved.Information in this system is deemed reliable,but is not guaranteed.

The goal setting will be based on comments re- ceived from the public as well as the various City Commissions 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- shop the public will work with the Council and Commission members to set goals and visions for the Comprehensive Plan. Please come join us at the Public Workshop to help the City plan for the future of Hugo! 11 ' COMPREHENSIVE Page 2 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.
