Update on the White Bear Lake Lawsuit City Administrator Bryan Bear provided background on the lawsuit between White Bear Lake Restoration Association and Homeowners Association versus DNR. The City of White Bear Lake and White Bear Township had intervened on the side of the DNR. There was an order by Judge Margaret Marrinan on August 29, 2017, and a temporary stay of the order granted on December 18, 2017. A hearing was scheduled for January 26, 2018 to consider motions related to the order. The DNR had announced their intention to appeal the ruling, and it would go to the court of appeals sometime this summer. Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for January 8, 2018 Page 8 of 11 Bear explained the order basically stated the DNR allowed White Bear Lake to drain by excessive pumping and instructed the DNR to prohibit new appropriation permits, review existing permits, and analyze impacts of all permits. He stated it was important to understand that the order applies only to the DNR, and there had been no direction given to the City. He showed the five mile radius line that is referenced in the order, and noted that Hugo's entire water system is impacted. Bear spoke about the negative impacts of not being able to obtain appropriation permits that are needed for construction de -watering, citing the Adelaide Landing Development as one example, who had since reapplied for a permit during the temporary stay. Bear talked about sustainability and the order's requirement to develop contingency plans for conversion to surface water supply which, by the order, is required to be done by August 29, 2018. Hugo has no viable surface water source for total replacement, and has already completed a partial conversion by reusing stormwater. He also talked about the order's residential irrigation ban that will be in effect until the lake is above the 924 elevation. Bear felt it was not practical and could be counter-productive. There were also limits placed in the order for water use per capita. Historically, Hugo has been below those thresholds. Bear compared the new DNR transient model with the stormwater model used by the USGS. He explained the transient model identified permits that impact the lake level the most, and it suggested there are other factors. Irrigation was not shown to be a meaningful factor, nor was Hugo's water use. Bear presented a list of appropriation permits said to have impacted the lake, and Hugo's permit was low on that list. In Bear's opinion, the more the City learns, the more convinced he is that Hugo has no impact on the water level of the lake. He concluded by saying the City should keep doing what it is doing, and staff was not requesting the Council take any action at this time. He also suggested considering whether there is a legislative solution to remove Hugo from any part of the action. Council had questions on the allowed 90 gallons per capita per day, and asked Bear to explain the impacts of an irrigation ban. Council also questioned what is meant by "sustainable". Bear stated there had been significant discussions on sustainability but is not as clear as it should be to impose a sustainability standard. Snyder reviewed what was done by the trial court judge in 2014 and the decision Hugo made to not intervene in the lawsuit because it was felt scientific questions should be answered by scientists and engineers, not lawyers. The City was already implementing water conservation measures. The order could now go to the Court of Appeals, and Snyder anticipated that in the future, the City may again be asked if it wants to participate in the lawsuit. Snyder stated he felt that, to the extent there is allegation that municipal pumping affects ground water, wells to the south are shown to have far more impact than Hugo's wells. Council asked about the review of the order, and Snyder explained the process saying that the trial court makes a ruling, and if the party is not satisfied, they can bring back to the trial court and ask them to reconsider. If they do not make a change, it can be brought before the court of appeals for a broader ruling. It was Snyder's belief the trial court would address the grievous demands in the order, but fundamental problems may remain. Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for January 8, 2018 Page 9 of 11 Schwieters Concept Plan Planner Rachel Juba presented a sketch plan for Schwieters Properties, LLP, for a site located on the southwest corner of 140th Street and Fenway Boulevard. The proposed industrial development would include a 108,000 square foot manufacturing building, with associated outdoor storage, a 45,000 square foot warehouse building, a 17,000 square foot office building, and a 13,000 square foot office building. Development of this site would allow them to expand into the manufacturing of floor panels and roof trusses. The property totals approximately 30 acres with 11 acres of wetland throughout the site. The property is zoned Business Park (BP) and is guided as Business Park (BP) in 2030 Comprehensive Plan. gh". Juba reviewed with Council the campus style layout showing where the buildings and parking would be and explaining how development of the site would be phased. The access to the site would be on the unimproved portion of 140th Street, and cost sharing for the improvements would need further evaluation. She talked about the applicants need for exterior storage, which is allowed in the Business Park zoning district; however, it excludes the raw material. She explained that staff felt there was little distinction between the raw and finished projects in this case. A zoning code amendment would need to be done to allow this exterior storage and it would only be allowed by a Conditional Use Permit, which would give the City some discretion. Juba reviewed the comments from the EDA and Planning Commission stating they were both comfortable with the plan and exterior storage. Juba asked Council to provide feedback on the project. Petryk asked about the raw material storage and questioned if the zoning amendment would go along with the property should it be sold. Juba replied it would run with the land, and the amendment needed to be written to consider what was allowed in the zoning district. Mayor Weidt invited the applicants to speak. Mike Brass from Colliers International stated he was the commercial broker representing the Schwieters, and he introduced Eli Rupnow from AMI Engineering, and Mark Wenzel from 292 Design.

Miron said he appreciated the consideration to the neighbors to the north and efforts to screen. He asked about the parking spaces and employment impacts. Brass replied there would be roughly 100 employees at full manufacturing and parking would accommodate both shifts at the same time. Miron stated he was in favor of the zoning amendment and appreciated staff's attention to making sure the appropriate language was in place. Petryk asked about use of the rail line, since the track has been improved. Blake Schwieters stated they would be utilizing the rail more frequently to bring in the raw materials, and manufactured products would mostly be moved by truck. Haas had no questions and stated he fully supported the project.

Updates from Commissions and Staff Prior to the Council Goals Setting Workshop, commissions met to discusses their specific goals. Bear provided a recap of those workshops. The Planning Commission's main focus has been the City's Comprehensive Plan, which is going extremely well. This should be finished around the middle of the year and submitted to the Metropolitan Council at the end of this year. The commission is also a fairly new group and there will be a focus on orienting and training new members. The Parks Commission shows a continuing interest in trails and trail connections. Bear noted that the public very much wanted to talk about trails at the Comprehensive Plan workshop, and there have also been discussions on the county level. The commission is also interested in long- range vision planning for Irish Avenue Park. The Economic Development Authority will continue to focus on encouraging development in the downtown area. The Historical Commission hired an intern in 2017 who will continue working into 2018. A goal is for the commission to make a recommendation to Council regarding the Hopkins School House, and they anticipate a workshop with the Council to be held in the spring. The intern is also working on cataloging photos and data to make it available and searchable for the public. Bear talked about the vacancies on the Parks Commission, Planning Commission, and Historical Commission, and the need to recruit members. Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for January 29, 2018 Goal Setting Workshop Page 2 of 3 Gravel roads are a significant discussion, and a workshop will be held in the spring. Plans will begin on the replacement of the south water tower, and there will be discussions on the condition of the City's bridges. The White Bear Lake lawsuit is ongoing, and the City is expecting changes to the water appropriations permit that will likely require action. Storm water reuse will continue; however the lawsuit is a significant distraction. Regional water studies are ongoing, and staff will keep Council informed. The Fire Department and North Memorial will be giving annual reports to the Council. Attention needs to be placed on daytime staffing of the Fire Department. The Fire Chief will be wanting to talk to Council about replacing the pumper tanker truck with a ladder truck. The goal is to have it done by 2021. Bear reminded Council of discussions last year about facilities and capacity. Staff would like to begin preparations for proposals for a space needs study. White Bear Lake School District may also have a need for additional facilities. Laserfiche data conversion continues, and the City will begin implementation of new building and planning department software for online submittals. This will change the way the City does business. Weidt asked if there was anything from the Commissions that was new. Planner Rachel Juba stated there was nothing new from the EDA, and they will continue doing what they are doing. New Planning Commissioners are interested in training. Parks Planner Shayla Denaway stated that the Parks Commissioners are looking at greenway trails and water access. They no longer have a focus on senior planning, and wish to open focus to all groups of residents. Klein asked about Irish Avenue Park and if there was any consideration to planting trees. Shayla stated there is, and the Commission is looking for an idea of what the park's future may be and at possible expansion of the parking lot. Currently, the Commission would like to do some sort of visioning. Picnic tables, benches, and porta-potties have been requested. Petryk asked for an update on the Bernin property because there is lake access there. Shayla stated the lake access had not been discussed, but Bruce Bernin had been requesting the relocation of an Osprey nest. Bear added that Bruce Bernin has been a good steward of the land. Klein asked about dust control on the gravel roads, and Bear replied there needed to be more discussion. Miron added that the City is doing things differently on all roads. It is anticipated an in-depth discussion will take place later in the year. Weidt reviewed the goals Council set for 2017 and talked about the status of each item. It was noted that the lights in City Hall have been switched to LED, a building maintenance fund has been created, and work is beginning on the south water tower. When asked about Lions Park, Finance Director Ron Otkin stated there is no funding. Council asked for an update on document imaging and if any updates to the audio visual equipment were needed. City Clerk Michele Lindau replied that no updates should be necessary in 2017, and the City continues to scan documents, specifically those requiring permanent retention. Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for January 29, 2018 Goal Setting Workshop Page 3 of 3 Miron talked about giving more attention to recruiting people to be on commissions and developing relationships with them. Bryan proposed doing a massive call -out to for commission members to get people to apply and do one round of interviews of all candidates. Weidt talked about liaisons of the Commissions and there may be some benefits with that type of contact, perhaps by attending meetings and providing updates. Haas suggested attending meetings informally to keep them engaged. Miron said he would like to get to know them personally, and let them know they are appreciated and a valuable asset. Klein talked about whether exit interviews should be done. Bryan stated that staff does speak to those leaving to see if there are any underlying issues. Weidt talked about how the information in the state of the city addresses and the bus tours may be good to have for the public. Haas suggested videotaping it them and putting it on the website. Weidt asked what Bear's thoughts were on additional staff. Bear stated he was ready to talk to Council individually on what his ideas for moving forward.

At the March 22 meeting, the Commission approved the project. Three acres were tilled and planted with pollina- tor supporting plants and flowers by local volun- teers.

Clearwater Creek Preserve, Arbre Park, and Oneka Lake Park were giving a spotlight to evaluate for potential improvements. New concrete patio slabs were poured at the park pavilions at Victor Square and Diamond Point Park. After extensive neighbor- hood complaints and discus- sions regarding its mis-use, the city -owned property along Goodview Avenue was cleared to allow better access and views of the property. The final stretch of the 147th Street trail/sidewalk was constructed, making the con- nection to Highway 61. Much needed repairs were started on the trails at Clear- water Creek Preserve which had significantly deteriorated after several rainy summers.

You indicated it was clear that you now understand the legal requirements of purchasing and selling alcohol and will do so in compliance with state law. This incident is also a violation of City Code, Chapter 6 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, Sec.6-61 Suspension and Revocation, that prohibits the selling and purchasing of alcohol beverages from another retailer for the purpose of resale and requires you to comply with applicable state statutes. The ordinance also allows the Council to revoke the license, suspend the license for up to 60 days, or impose a civil penalty of up to $2,000, ora combination of these sanctions. I have enclosed a copy of the ordinance for your reference. As discussed in the meeting, the typical fine for most first-time liquor violations is $300. Staff will be recommending Council approve this same penalty for MGM Wine & Spirits of Hugo with the understanding that subsequent violations will results in stricter penalties. Keep in mind, the Council has the discretion to impose a harsher penalty for this current violation if they wish. This item will be on the Council agenda for their meeting on Monday, February 5, 2018 at 7 p.m. Staff anticipates placing it on the Consent Agenda, and it is suggested you be in attendance should this item be removed from the Consent Agenda for discussion.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue Street Improvement Project consists of roadway improvements on Oneka Lake Boulevard North, 157th Street North, and Harrow Avenue North. A map illustrating the project location is shown on Figure 1 in Appendix A. Improvements throughout the project include bituminous pavement reclamation, minor subgrade corrections, and minor drainage improvements, with grading and culvert replacement only as necessary to address isolated drainage issues. Three roadway options were considered during preliminary design. The base roadway option considered is bituminous reclamation and paving at the existing widths; the second option, Alternate 1, is bituminous reclamation and paving with shoulder widening; and the third option included in this report, Alternate 2, is the extension of watermain and sanitary sewer from Green Avenue 800 feet to the east, and south from Goodview Avenue across Oneka Lake Boulevard. The cost of the street improvement project is estimated at $1,180,000 — $1,290,000. The estimated cost for the sanitary sewer and watermain improvements is $294,000. This includes a 10% contingency and 25% indirect costs. Funding for the project will consist of special assessments, City Street CIP Funds, and State Aid Funds. The project schedule proposed includes construction beginning in June 2018, with final completion by the fall of 2018. This project is feasible, necessary, and cost-effective from an engineering standpoint and should be constructed as proposed herein.

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS 4.1 Roadway Three roadway design options were considered for this report. The first two options proposed for the project area include the reclamation of the existing asphalt pavement and aggregate base with only minor subgrade corrections as needed with the roadway remaining a rural section. The base roadway option considered for Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue was the existing 24 - foot width. With this option, the roadway would be reclaimed and paved at the same width as the existing roadway, with only minor improvements to the existing shoulder to meet State Aid Standards. The layout of the roadway would include two 11 -foot driving lanes and two 1 -foot -wide paved shoulders, with a rural typical section. This option minimizes both cost and construction impacts to the adjacent properties. However, it does not provide any extra shoulder space for bikers or pedestrians. The second roadway option considered, Alternate 1, was the widening of the existing rural section from a 24 -foot width to a 26 -foot width. The layout of the roadway would include two 11 -foot driving lanes and two 2 -foot -wide paved shoulders, with a rural typical section. This option provides a somewhat wider and safer route for pedestrians or bicyclists. However, the option would be more expensive than replacing in kind, and would require minor grading work on the adjoining ditches. Typical roadway sections are included in Figure 2 in Appendix A. 4.2 Drainage Improvements The existing drainage systems will be maintained and culverts replaced as needed with only minor drainage improvements to accommodate the proposed roadway alignment. Existing vertical and horizontal alignments will be maintained to the greatest extent possible. 4.3 Utility Improvements The existing watermain and sanitary sewer systems within Goodview Avenue and Green Avenue have potential for connection at Oneka Lake Boulevard to serve the remaining parcels within the MUSA. The new watermain and sanitary sewer utilities are proposed to connect at Green Avenue and extend 800 feet to the east to provide service to the adjoining properties. Sanitary sewer and watermain are also identified to extend across Oneka Lake Boulevard at Goodview Avenue to service a portion of the property on the south side of Oneka Lake Boulevard. The installation of the City utilities is contingent on the wants of the benefiting properties. Proposed utility improvements can be found in Figure 3 in Appendix A. 4.4 Right-of-Way/Easements The proposed improvements will be completed within the existing right-of-way or areas where the City has prescriptive rights and no acquisitions are proposed at this time. 4.5 Permits/Approvals The anticipated permits and approvals required and the respective regulatory agencies are listed below: ■ City of Hugo ....................................... ■ MN Pollution Control Agency NPDES Feasibility Report Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue Street Improvement Project City of Hugo, MN WSB Project No. R-010893-000 RCWD Permit/Wetlands ...... Erosion/Stormwater Page 4 4.6 Construction Access/Staging The contractor will be responsible for providing access to all properties throughout the project. The proposed methods of pavement rehabilitation will typically allow residents to drive on the roadway surface during construction. Adequately signed detours will be identified to direct traffic around the construction zones and notify users of the increased truck and construction activity. Detours will be used only if absolutely necessary to ensure the safety of residents and construction workers alike.

The proposed funding is outlined as follows: Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue Street Improvement Project Street Reclamation at Existing Widths — Funding Assessments CIP/State Aid Funds Total Funding Street Improvements $166,000 $908,000 $1,074,000 Drainage Improvements $0 $106,000 $106,000 TOTAL $166,000 $1,014,000 $1,180,000 Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue Street Improvement Project Alternate 1: Street Reclamation and Widening — Funding Assessments CIP/State Aid Funds Total Funding Street Improvements $166,000 $1,018,000 $1,184,000 Drainage Improvements $0 $106,000 $106,000 TOTAL $166,000 $1,124,000 $1,290,000 Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue Street Improvement Project Alternate 2: Utility Extension — Funding Assessments City Utility Fund Total Funding Watermain Improvements $122,000 $18,000 $140,000 Sanitary Improvements $154,000 $0 $154,000 TOTAL $276,000 $18,000 $294,000 5.3 Preliminary Assessment Roll Assessments will be levied to the benefiting properties as outlined in Minnesota Statute 429 and the City's Assessment Policy. A detailed preliminary assessment roll is included in Appendix C. The assessment rate for roadway reclamation projects is as follows: ■ Rural Roadway Reclamation $3,400/unit Properties with footage adjacent to two roadways, will be assessed only for 1/2 of a unit per street. If only one of the roadways adjacent to a property is being reclaimed, the total assessment will be only 1/2 of a unit at this time. Similarly, properties with footage adjacent to three roadways, will be assessed 1/3 of a unit per street. If only one street is being reclaimed, the total assessment will be only 1/3 of a unit. The watermain and sanitary sewer costs will be fully assessed to the benefiting property owners for the proposed utility lines that serve their property. The City will fund the cost to upsize the watermain from the 8 -inch required to serve the adjacent development to a larger 12 -inch trunk main which will provide adequate service for further extension and supply.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Location The borings were completed along Oneka Lake Boulevard from Goodview Avenue North to 157th Street North and along Harrow Avenue North from 157th Street North to 165th Street North. The approximate soil boring locations can be found on the Soil Boring Exhibit in Appendix A. 1.2 Project Description It is proposed to complete culvert replacements along the roadway, as well as possibly extend the water and sanitary sewers from Goodview Avenue to Greene Avenue. The pavement section will be reclaimed. We understand that 3 foot shoulders will be added to the roadway, and the road will remain a rural design. Culvert inverts will likely be within 5 feet of existing road grade, and watermain and sanitary sewer inverts are assumed to be between 8 and 13 feet below existing grade. WSB has developed recommendations for this project in consideration of the proposed layout and configurations as understood at this time. When the additional information is developed about final design, configuration, or other significant factors, the recommendations presented herein may no longer apply. WSB must be made aware of the revised or additional information in order to evaluate the recommendations for continued applicability. 1.3 Purpose and Project Scope of Services Mark Erichson with WSB authorized this work. In order to assist the design team in preparing plans and specifications, we have developed recommendations for installation of underground utilities and pavement reclamation design. As such, we have completed a subsurface exploration program and prepared a geotechnical report for the referenced site. This stated purpose was a significant factor in determining the scope and level of service provided. Should the purpose of the report change the report immediately ceases to be valid and use of it without WSB's prior review and written authorization shall be at the user's sole risk. Our authorized scope of work has been limited to: 1. Mobilization / Demobilization of a Truck Mounted Drill Rig. 2. Clearing underground utilities utilizing the Gopher State One Call. 3. Drilling 19 standard penetration borings to about 14 1/2 foot depths. 4. Sealing the borings per Minnesota Department of Health procedures. 5. Perform soil classification and analysis. 6. Review of readily available project information and geologic data. 7. Providing this geotechnical report containing: a. Summary of our findings. b. Discussion of subsurface soil and groundwater conditions and how they may affect the proposed pavements and utility installations. c. Estimated R -value of the subgrade soils. d. Recommended pavement reclamation section. e. A discussion of soils for use as structural fill and site fill. Geotechnical Report Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue Improvements Hugo, Minnesota WSB Project No. 010893-000 Page 1 2. PROCEDURES 2.1 Boring Layout and Soil Sampling Procedures The City of Hugo (City) requested we complete 19 soil borings along the proposed roadway. WSB recommended the boring depths and selected the desired locations. Our survey crew staked the borings by using GPS technology. The approximate boring locations are shown on the Soil Boring Exhibit in Appendix A which is an aerial photo. The ground surface elevations at the borings were determined by GPS with our surveying crew. We drilled the borings on between December 8 and 11, 2017 with a truck -mounted CME -55 drill rig operated by a two -person crew. The drill crew advanced the borings using continuous hollow stem augers. Drilling methods, crew chief, depths, sampling interval, casing usage, groundwater observations, test data, and other drilling information are indicated on the boring logs. Borings were extended beyond the proposed 15 foot depths where unsuitable soils (organics, fills, etc) were encountered at planned termination depths. Generally, the drill crew sampled the soil in advance of the auger tip at two and one-half foot (2'/z') intervals of a depth to fifteen feet (15') and then at five foot (5) intervals thereafter where necessary. The soil samples were obtained using a split -barrel sampler which was driven into the ground during standard penetration tests in accordance with ASTM D 1586, Standard Method of Penetration Test and Split -Barrel Sampling of Soils. The materials encountered were described on field logs and representative samples were containerized, and transported to our laboratory for further examination and testing. The samples were visually examined to estimate the distribution of grain sizes, plasticity, consistency, moisture condition, color, presence of lenses and seams, and apparent geologic origin. We classified the soils according to type using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). A chart describing the Unified Soil Classification System is included in Appendix A. 2.2 Groundwater Measurements and Borehole Abandonment The drill crew observed the borings for free groundwater while drilling and after completion. These observations and measurements are noted on the boring logs. The crew then backfilled the borings with soil cuttings to comply with Minnesota Department of Health regulations. 2.3 Boring Log Procedures and Qualifications The subsurface conditions encountered by the test borings are illustrated on the Logs of Test Borings in Appendix A. Similar soils were grouped into the strata shown on the boring logs, and the appropriate estimated USCS classification symbols were also added. The depths and thickness of the subsurface strata indicated on the boring logs were estimated from the drilling results. The transition between materials (horizontal and vertical) is approximate and is usually far more gradual than shown. Information on actual subsurface conditions exists only at the specific locations indicated and is relevant only to the time exploration was performed. Subsurface conditions and groundwater levels at other locations may differ from conditions found at the indicated locations. The nature and extent of these conditions would not become evident until exposed by construction excavation. These stratification lines were used for our analytical purposes and, due to the aforementioned limitations, should not be used as a basis of design or construction cost estimates.

EXPLORATION RESULTS 3.1 Site and Geology The borings were completed through the bituminous pavement section in the drive lanes of Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue North. Boring elevations ranged from about 925.3 to 942.5 feet, and indicate a moderately undulating terrain. The Washington County Geologic Atlas indicates the surficial geology of the area is mostly lake deposited sand and pockets of organic deposits. 3.2 Subsurface Soil and Groundwater Conditions The boring profile generally consisted of the pavement section and fill materials overlying lake deposited sandy soils. Boring PB -13 encountered organic deposits below the fills. Pavement Section The pavement section generally consisted of about 4 to 5 inches of bituminous asphalt, with an average of 4 inches, and about 6 to 12 inches of aggregate base, with an average of 10 inches. Fills The fills encountered in the borings generally consisted of a mixture of sands with silt and sands with gravel. These fills were commonly encountered to depths of about 2'/2 to 3 feet below grade, but at Boring PB -5 was encountered to a depth of about 6 feet and at Boring PB -13 was encountered to a depth of about 5 feet. Organics Boring PB -13 encountered peat and clays with organics below the fill materials. These organic soils were encountered to a depth of about 20 feet below grade. The organic soils were black in color and generally wet to saturated. Lake deposits The lake (lacustrine) deposits encountered in the borings ranged from sands with silt to silty sands to silty sands with clay. These soils were brown in color where encountered in the upper 15 feet of the boring, and at Boring PB -13 were gray to dark brown to brown in color. These soils were moist to wet to waterbearing. 3.3 Strength Characteristics The penetration resistance N -values of the materials encountered were recorded during drilling and are indicated as blows per foot (BPF). Those values provide an indication of soil strength characteristics and are located on the boring log sheets. Also, visual -manual classification techniques and apparent moisture contents were also utilized to make an engineering judgment of the consistency of the materials. Table 1 presents a summary of the penetration resistances in the soils for the borings completed and remarks regarding the material strengths of the soils. Table 1: Penetration Resistances Soil Type Classification Penetration Remarks Resistances Fill Varies 5 to 8 BPF Poorly compacted Peat / Organics PT, OL 2 to 3 BPF Very soft Lake Deposits SP -SM, SM, SC 2 to 20 BPF Very loose to medium dense Average 8 /2 BPF Generally loose Geotechnical Report Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue Improvements Hugo, Minnesota WSB Project No. 010893-000 Page 3 The preceding is a generalized description of soil conditions at this site. Variations from the generalized profile exist and should be assessed from the boring logs, the normal geologic character of the deposits, and the soils uncovered during site excavation. 3.4 Groundwater Conditions WSB took groundwater level readings in the exploratory borings, reviewed the data obtained, and discussed its interpretation of the data in the text of the report. Note that groundwater levels may fluctuate due to seasonal variations (e.g. precipitation, snowmelt and rainfall) and/or other factors not evident at the time of measurement. The bore holes were only left open a short period of time, and groundwater levels may not have had time to stabilize. Table 2 below is a summary of the estimated water levels at our borings.

Elevations are rounded to the highest 1/2 foot. Peat is deposited in shallow open water areas; therefore it is our opinion that the groundwater table would be near or a few feet above the top of peat encountered in Boring PB -13. These groundwater elevations could affect installation of underground utilities. Geotechnical Report Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue Improvements Hugo, Minnesota WSB Project No. 010893-000 Page 4 Lake Oneka is located a few hundred feet west of the roadways. Online data from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources indicates that the ordinary high water level of the lake is 931.2 feet. Rice Lake is located several hundred feet east of the Oneka Lake Boulevard, and has an ordinary high water elevation of 922.5 feet. Based on the location of the roadways, the groundwater elevation is likely between these two ordinary high water levels.

ENGINEERING ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 Discussion Fills No information was provided to us regarding density tests or placement observations for the existing fills placed at the boring locations. However, the fills encountered in our borings did not contain organics and have been inplace for a long period of time. Therefore, it is our opinion that these fills are suitable for continuing support of the pavement section. Organics In contrast to the other borings, PB -13 encountered swamp deposits consisting of peat and organic clay. The swamp deposits were encountered from about the 5 to 20 foot depths. Organic soils and vegetated root zones are not suitable for direct support of the roadway. Where they are greater than 4 feet below the top of subgrade in existing roadways, they are generally acceptable to leave inplace provided that new construction does not include raising grade outside the existing embankment. In road widening areas, added fill can initiate settlement. This settlement is oftentimes greater than that experienced in the adjacent existing embankment. Given this differential settlement, a longitudinal crack will appear between the existing roadway and the widened roadway. The organic soils would not be suitable to support new underground utilities and would require excavation and replacement. If vertical elevations of the roadway are raised in areas containing organics, new settlements can occur, and we recommend the organics be completely excavated. Organic soils should also be removed where the roadway will be widened. Lake Deposits The sands with silt, silty sands, and silty sands with clay encountered in the borings are generally capable of supporting the roadway and underground utilities. General It is our opinion that groundwater could be encountered by excavations at this site and could affect construction of underground utilities. Generally, the soils in the upper 4 feet of the subgrade influence pavement performance the most. The soils within the pavement subgrade consist of organic soils, clays and silts, which are frost susceptible soils. Consideration should be given to partially subcutting these soils and replacing with a non -frost susceptible granular fill to reduce the potential frost heave below the pavement section. 4.2 Pavement Areas Table 3 below presents the existing roadway pavement section and subgrade profiles.

These soils would have R -values ranging from 20 to 70. We recommend using an R -value of 30 for design purposes. The MnDOT traffic data website indicates that the traffic loads are approximately 400 vehicles per day for Oneka Lake Boulevard and 210 vehicles per day for Harrow Avenue. Our design is based on a 3.2% increase in volume over the twenty (20) year design life of the pavement section. Based on the traffic ADT we used the MinniESAL Traffic Forecast Program to calculate the roadway traffic to be equivalent to approximately 51,000 Equivalent Single Axle Loads (ESAL's) for Oneka Lake Boulevard and 25,000 ESAL's for Harrow Avenue. We recommend using 50,000 ESAL's as the minimum for design. Based on MnDOT's FlexPave excel design utilizing granular equivalent charts, we recommend the pavement sections in Table 4 for Oneka Lake Boulevard. Table 4: Oneka Lake Boulevard - Recommended Flexible Pavement Section Section Thickness (inches) Bituminous Wear Course, MnDOT 2360 3 MnDOT Class 5 Aggregate Base - Reclaim 8 Based on MnDOT's FlexPave excel design utilizing granular equivalent charts, we recommend the pavement sections in Table 5 for Harrow Avenue. Geotechnical Report Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue Improvements Hugo, Minnesota WSB Project No. 010893-000 Page 7 Table 5: Harrow Avenue - Recommended Flexible Pavement Section Section Thickness (inches) Bituminous Wear Course, MnDOT 2360 3 MnDOT Class 5 Aggregate Base - Reclaim 8 Within several years after initial paving, some thermal shrinkage cracks will develop. We recommend routine maintenance be performed to improve pavement performance and increase pavement life. Pavement should be sealed with a liquid bitumen sealer to retard water intrusion into the base course and subgrade. Localized patch failures may also develop where trucks or buses turn on the pavement. When these occur, they should be cut out and patch repaired. The pavement sections above provide options to meet the ESAL requirements. Other pavement design options would be acceptable as well as long as they meet the minimum requirements for bituminous thickness, aggregate base thickness, and can meet the ESAL requirements. 4.3 Utilities Invert elevations for the culverts are anticipated to be within 5 feet of existing grades, and invert elevations for the watermain and sanitary sewer are anticipated to be between 8 and 13 feet below grade. Based on the borings, the subgrade soils for the utilities will consist chiefly of sands with silt and silty sands except at Boring PB -13 where organic soils are present. In addition, we recommend sand conforming to MnDOT Specification 3149.2F Granular Bedding be placed in the bottom of an unstable or wet excavation. The sand should have 40 percent by weight passing the #40 sieve and less than five percent (5%) by weight passing the #200 sieve. The granular bedding should be placed to at least the crown of the pipe. Trench backfill above this point may consist of the non-organic excavated soils once properly moisture conditioned. Underground utilities are expected to be installed by backhoes completing the excavations and placing fills. Soil compactors should be used to compact the fill in even lifts to the specified densities. 4.4 Dewatering Wet and saturated soils were encountered in the borings. Groundwater could potentially enter the excavations for deeper utilities. Dewatering in this area will likely require sand point wells. 4.5 Backfill and Fill Selection and Compaction The on-site non-organic soils may be reused as backfill and fill provided they are moisture conditioned and can be compacted to their specified densities. Any wet soils excavated would need to be dried before reuse as an engineered fill. Backfills with cobbles larger than six inches (6") should not be placed below pavements or in contact with utilities. We recommend that sandy soils be moisture conditioned to meet compaction specifications and clayey soils be moisture conditioned to within two percent (2%) below to three percent (3%) above their optimum moisture contents as determined from their standard Proctor tests (ASTM D-698). Fill should be spread in lifts of 8-10 inches for clays and 10-12 inches for sands, depending on the size and type of compaction equipment used. Geotechnical Report Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue Improvements Hugo, Minnesota WSB Project No. 010893-000 Page 8 Table 6 indicates the recommended compaction levels. Table 6: Recommended Level of Compaction for Backfill and Fill Area Percent of Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density Pavement: Within 3 feet of top of subgrade 100 Pavement: Greater than 3 feet below top of subgrade 95 Utility Trench 95 Landscaping (non-structural) 90 4.6 Construction Considerations Good surface drainage should be maintained throughout the work so that the site is not vulnerable to ponding during or after a rainfall. If water enters excavations, it should be promptly removed prior to further construction activities. Under no circumstances should fill be placed into standing water. Soil corrections at this site for pavement subgrades may not be continuous in all areas. We recommend tapering the fills back to native soils at a ten to one (10:1) slope. 4.7 Construction Safety All excavations must comply with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR, Part 1926, Subpart P "Excavations and Trenches". This document states that excavation safety is the responsibility of the contractor. Reference to this OSHA requirement should be included in the job specifications. The responsibility to provide safe working conditions on this site, for earthwork, building construction, or any associated operations is solely that of the contractor. This responsibility is not borne in any manner by WSB. 4.8 Cold Weather Construction It is our understanding that construction is unlikely to occur during the winter months. However, if the construction does continue into the winter months we recommend the following guidelines. Only unfrozen fill should be used. Placement of fill must not be permitted on frozen soil. 4.9 Field Observation and Testing The soil conditions illustrated on the Logs of Test Borings in Appendix A are indicative of the conditions only at the boring locations. WSB also recommends a representative number of field density tests be taken in all engineered fill and backfill placed to aid in judging its suitability. Fill placement and compaction should be monitored and tested to determine that the resulting fill and backfill conforms to specified density, strength or compressibility requirements. We recommend at least one compaction test for every 300 linear feet of utility trench and roadway area, at vertical intervals not exceeding 2 feet. Prior to use, any proposed fill and backfill material should be submitted to the WSB laboratory for testing to verify compliance with recommendations and project specifications. Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests can be completed in the aggregate base in lieu of density testing. We recommend following MnDOT Specification 2211-3. WSB would be pleased to provide the necessary field observation, monitoring and testing services during construction. Geotechnical Report Oneka Lake Boulevard and Harrow Avenue Improvements Hugo, Minnesota WSB Project No. 010893-000 Page 9 4.10 Plan Review and Remarks The observations, recommendations and conclusions described in this report are based primarily on information provided to WSB, obtained from our subsurface exploration, our experience, several necessary assumptions and the scopes of service developed for this project and are for the sole use of our client. We recommend that WSB be retained to perform a review of final design drawing and specifications to evaluate that the geotechnical engineering report has not been misinterpreted. Should there be any changes in the design or location of the structures related to this project or if there are any uncertainties in the report we should be notified. We would be pleased to review any project changes and modify the recommendations in this report (if necessary) or provide any clarification in writing. The entire report should be kept together; for example, boring logs should not be removed and placed in the specifications separately. The boring logs and related information included in this report are indicators of the subsurface conditions only at the specific locations indicated on the Soil Boring Exhibit and times noted on the Logs of Test Boring sheets in Appendix A. The subsurface conditions, including groundwater levels, at other locations on the site may differ significantly from conditions that existed at the time of sampling and at the boring locations. The test borings were put down by WSB solely to obtain indications of subsurface conditions as part of a geotechnical exploration program. No services were performed to evaluate subsurface environmental conditions. WSB has not performed any observations, investigations, studies or testing that is not specifically listed in the scope of service. WSB shall not be liable for failing to discover any condition whose discovery required the performance of services not authorized by the Agreement.

Subsurface Profiles The subsurface stratification lines on the graphic representation of the test borings show an approximate boundary between soil types or rock. The transition between materials is approximate and is usually far more gradual than shown. Estimating excavation depths, soil volumes and other computations relying on the subsurface strata may not be possible to any degree of accuracy. Water Level WSB & Associates, Inc. took groundwater level readings in the exploratory borings, reviewed the data obtained, and discussed its interpretation of the data in the text of this report. The groundwater level may fluctuate due to seasonal variations caused by precipitation, snowmelt, rainfalls, construction or remediation activities, and/or other factors not evident at the time of measurement. The actual determination of the subsurface water level is an interpretative process. Subsurface water level may not be accurately depicted by the levels indicated on the boring logs. Normally, a subsurface exploration obtains general information regarding subsurface features for design purposes. An accurate determination of subsurface water levels is not possible with a typical scope of work. The use of the subsurface water level information provided for estimating purposes or other site review can present a moderate to high risk of error. The following information is obtained in the field and noted under "Water Level Measurements" at the bottom of the log. Sampled Depth: The lowest depth of soil sampling at the time a water level measurement is taken. Casing Depth: The depth to the bottom of the casing or hollow -stem auger at the time of water level measurement. Cave -In Depth: The depth at which the measuring tape stops in the bore hole. Water Level: The point in the bore hole at which free-standing water is encountered by a measuring tape dropped from the surface inside the casing. Drilling Fluid Level: Similar to the water level, except the liquid in the bore hole is a drilling fluid. Obstruction Depths Obstructions and/or obstruction depths may be noted on the boring logs. Obstruction indicates the sampling equipment encountered resistance to penetration. It must be realized that continuation of drilling, the use of other drilling equipment or further exploration may provide information other than that depicted on the logs. The correlation of obstruction depths on the log with construction features such as rock excavation, foundation depths, or buried debris cannot normally be determined with any degree of accuracy. For example, penetration of weathered rock by soil sampling equipment may not correlate with removal by certain types of construction equipment. Using this information for estimating purposes often results in a high degree of misinterpretation. Accurately identifying the obstruction or estimating depths where hard rock is present over the site requires a scope of service beyond the normal geotechnical exploration program. The risk of using the information noted on the boring logs for estimating purposes must be understood. A WSB & Associales, Inc.

As part of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan update, the City has held several meetings with residents, Commissions, and Council to gather feedback and understand community priorities and what has changed since that time. 2. Summary Summary of Key Meetings The City held a joint kickoff for the Comprehensive Plan with City Council and the City's Commissions on February 21, 2017 and an Open House Workshop with the Community on April 19, 2017. The purpose of these meetings was to gather feedback on what changed in the Community since 2008. This was achieved by discussing the strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, and what stands in the way of developing opportunities or maintaining strengths. On June 1, 2017 Planning Commission reviewed feedback from the April 19, 2017 Open House and from the workshop presented by the Urban Land Institute on May 16, 2017 called "Navigating Your Competitive Future." Feedback indicated that there were no significant issues for the City since the 2008 update. On June 13, 2017, the City held a Public Open House that focused on planned services for Eastern Hugo. At this time, the Metropolitan Council is not planning services for Eastern Hugo. Residents were asked to provide feedback on whether services should be provided and proposed densities of land development. As a result of the open house feedback, the City determined that in order to make a decision about development design and densities, additional information about the feasibility of providing services to Eastern Hugo was necessary, and that a feasibility study will be listed as an implementation step in the 2040 Land Use Plan. On August 10, 2017, Planning Commission reviewed the overall direction of the Land Use Plan and confirmed key study areas. A draft version of the document was presented to Parks Commission on December 20, 2017 and to Planning Commission on December 21, 2017. Both Commissions were supportive of the proposed updates to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. There were a few items they commented on that will be presented to the City Council during the meeting. Landform', SensiblyGreen� and Site to Finish"' are registered service marks of Landform Professional Services, LLC. 11 0 3. Updates to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan The results of community feedback indicated that the community is on track and that no major updates to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan are required. However, there are several items to note: • The document was updated to include more tables and graphic components to make the document easier to read. • Interactive links are being developed for the document, making navigation easier • Guiding Principles and Objectives were moved from Chapter 3 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan to corresponding chapters. This should make it easier to relate the content to the objectives. • The Parks, Trails, and Open Space Chapter was re -organized and developed to emphasize more specific locational criteria. • Neighborhood Park Service Areas were evaluated and re -defined to correspond more accurately to future land use populations. • The Housing Chapter was updated to reflect the required affordable housing goals. • A Resiliency Chapter was added to the Comprehensive Plan. • The Water Supply Chapter was updated to reflect the current water systems. • The Transportation Chapter was updated to ensure consistency with the Parks, Trails, and Open Space plan as well as reviewed to ensure that roads would serve the future population. Land use categories and associated densities did not change in this update, except that the Mixed Use category is required to have a minimum and maximum density to ensure that goals for affordable housing and overall minimum density goals for the City are met. Staff reviewed key study areas to determine if changes were necessary. The following is a summary of the study areas reviewed and discussed at the August 10, 2017 Planning Commission Meeting: Mixed Use District The 2030 Comprehensive Plan identified three distinctive Mixed Use District areas, however, it did not provide distinctions on the types of development that the City would like to see in each district. • Update: Staff updated the text to provide more direction about the type of development that is desirable for each district. Text focuses on creating gateways for the City, emphasizes contextual transitions between land uses and surrounding districts, and responds to the transportation characteristics of each District. Metropolitan Council requires that development occur at an average density of 3 units per acre within the MUSA. As part of the update, staff reviewed densities to ensure that this requirement was met. Update: The Metropolitan Council requires that communities define minimum and maximum densities and the mix of residential, commercial, and industrial development within Mixed Use Districts. These parameters were not explicitly defined in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Staff reviewed several land use scenarios to determine how to best meet the affordable housing and average density goals City Council - 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update February 5, 2018 • defined by the Metropolitan Council. Staff determined that providing a minimum density of 10 units per acre and maximum density of 60 units per acre in the Mixed Use district, and requiring that 50% of mixed use development be residential is consistent with the policies of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. 165th & FenwaV Staff heard feedback from landowners that there may be interest in developing properties, however, Sanitary Sewer has not yet been extended to that area. Staff met with landowners in August to better understand plans, none of the landowners requested a change in land use. Based on feedback, staff determined that no changes to land use in this area will be initiated. Elmcrest North of Frenchman Road Staff reviewed the land uses along Elmcrest North of Frenchman Road for compatibility with land use updates in Lino Lakes and determined that land uses would be compatible. Therefore, no changes to the land use would be required at this time. The goal for the meeting is to approve the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan to be presented at a Public Open House on February 26, 2018. It is important to note that the Council is seeing the first draft of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and that the project team will be editing the document for clarity and consistency prior to the Open House. We are asking the Council to approve the framework of the plan for public review and to provide any suggested changes that should be incorporated prior to the public hearing scheduled for March 8, 2018. 4. Action Items: Approve preliminary updates to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and direct staff to finalize implementation steps and final document. Attachments a.

AND VISION 6 for review only Chapter 1 Introduction and Vision The Hugo Comprehensive Plan is a policy document that provides the overall guidance for development and growth in the City for the next 20 years and provides the foundation for City decision-making. Along with every other city in the seven -county metro region the City reviews and updates the Comprehensive Plan, as required by State Law. The Comprehensive Plan gives a high-level overview of goals and policies that provide a framework for regulatory tools such as the zoning and subdivision ordinances. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 A for review only The City of Hugo will be a unique, sustainable community that respects the environment and serves its residents. The community will strive to be a desirable place for residents of all ages. The citizens have repeatedly expressed their preference for the retaining the "rural" lifestyle of Hugo. The goal is rooted in preservation, to the greatest extent possible, the essence of a rural way of life while encouraging a variety of land uses to meet the needs of the community. The objective is to blend the local variety of lifestyles into a peaceful and prosperous coexistence by creating mutual compatibility of local land uses within the community. Natural resources will be protected and natural corridors will flourish in the community. All residents will be able to enjoy the natural environment with carefully planned trails and connections. Facilities for horses, bicyclists and pedestrians will prosper in the community to encourage healthy living for all residents. Neighborhoods will be unique and carefully planned with innovative techniques to ensure a high quality of life for all residents. There will be a diversity of housing to support and promote the livability of the community. Neighborhoods will provide walkable, pedestrian -friendly accessibility. Development will be focused along the CSAH 4, Highway 61 and CSAH 8 growth corridors where the dense residential areas and businesses will be located. Development will be encouraged in Downtown Hugo, which is the heart of the community. 0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 INTRODUCTION AND VISION 8 for review only Process and Outreach The 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update began in January 2017 with a series of Open Houses and meetings with community leaders. Our goal was to understand how the community had evolved since 2008 and what strengths, opportunities, and challenges the City faced as we look to planning for 2040. Throughout the year, the City held a series of interactive workshops and open houses that focused on different challenges for the City. Meetings were supplemented by a newsletter that was emailed to interested property owners, online surveys, and through social media. Residents were encouraged to either attend meetings or provide feedback through alternative means. The City had robust response to the outreach efforts with an average response of xx per topic. Input and ideas from residents and property owners has been incorporated into this plan.This plan replaces the last major Comprehensive Plan prepared by the City in 2008 and all updates to that plan. This is a 20 -year plan for how the City will develop, but the City recognizes that State Law requires an update within 10 years and changing conditions in the City may require amendments before that time. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 INTRODUCTION AND VISION 9 for review only Using the Plan The nature of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide guidance for short and long term development issues related to guiding growth and providing essential infrastructure that protects the health, safety, and welfare of the community. While detailed implementation steps are included in this document, this document is not intended to be prescriptive. It is intended to: 1. Provide a framework for regulatory decisions. The plan provides an overview of how we anticipate future growth in the city. The zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance are the tools used to carry out the vision and goals for growth in the City. 2. Basis for investments. The plan provides direction to City policy makers on how to provide and protect resources such as affordable housing, roads, water protection, and land acquisition for recreation. 3. Resource for additional planning studies. The Plan provides guidance to the City as they explore issues in-depth. Past Plans & Studies This report builds on plans and studies that have been completed by the City and the Region, including: • 2030 City of Hugo Comprehensive Plan (May 2008) • Everton Avenue Alternative Urban Areawide Review (2001) and Everton Avenue Update (2012), Hugo MN • Eastern Hugo Natural Resource Management Plan (June 2011), Hugo MN • Thrive MSP 2040, Metropolitan Council (May 2014) • Update of Comprehensive Housing Needs for Washington County, Minnesota, Washington County (March 2017) • Keystone Woods Analysis, Washington County (December 2011) • Central Greenway Regional Trail Master Plan Draft, Washington County (April 2017) • 2017 National Recreation and Parks Association Performance Review • Center for Urban and Regional Affairs Citizen Input on Parks and Recreation in the City of Hugo, MN (February 2010) • White Bear Lake Area Athletic Facilities Needs Assessment (April 2013) • Minnesota's State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2014-2018 • Metropolitan Council: Regional Parks System Visitor Study Report (November 2016) 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 INTRODUCTION AND VISION 10 for review only Chapter 2 Community Background The purpose of the background chapter is to provide a snapshot of existing conditions within the City of Hugo. The comprehensive planning process is most successful when current conditions are well documented and understood by all decision makers and planning participants. This chapter was prepared with the aid of City Staff. This chapter includes an analysis of historical trends, but focuses on the time since the adoption of the last comprehensive plan in 2008 which will identify current development, growth and land use trends in the community. Community History and Heritage 1850-1900 The community we know now as Hugo was long ago home to the Dakota people who lived on the game, fish, berries and wild rice in the region. The first European settlers came to the area in the early 1850's. Of mostly French and French-Canadian background, settlers were attracted to the region because of the vast quantities of wild game that were used in the fur trade. Family ties to French heritage remained strong throughout Hugo's history, and to this day many of Hugo's residents carry the same names of their French ancestors who helped found the City. Of course, early settlers were not only French descendants, but many immigrated from or were descendants of Germany, Scandinavian countries, Canada and others. On September 9, 1870, the area was organized into a 36 -square mile Township and given the officially designated name of "Oneka Township." The first governing body of Oneka Township operated much the same way that local governments do today by making budgets, passing ordinances, and administering the needs of the community. The name "Oneka" was borrowed from Oneka Lake and has its roots in the Dakotan word "onakan," which roughly translates to "to strike or knock off," a reference to the harvesting of wild rice in a canoe. I IL t 7GO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMMUNITY BACKGROUND 12 The St. Paul and Duluth Railroad was constructed through the area in 1868. A train station (Centerville Station) and a feed mill were built near the intersection of Forest Boulevard (now Highway 61) and Frenchman Road (now CSAH 8) which became the new town center. The new station brought with it new ways to make a living, better communication and new settlers. The station quickly became the center of the developing settlement, and all official meetings and voting took place within it. Train traffic came through Hugo as it moved between St. Paul and Duluth. These early trains depended on wood for fuel, so many residents in the area made a partial living by cutting down their own timber to sell at the depot. The existence of the railroad was essential to Hugo's early economy, and made it possible for a potato depot, a cattle depot and a stockyard to develop. The downtown neighborhood surrounding the train station also began to grow into a comfortable village and the surrounding rural areas supported a robust agricultural and timber harvesting economy. 1900-1990 As the newly populated area in downtown Hugo became more autonomous, many residents thought it would be best to create a separate community. Reports stated that it was difficult for the U.S. Post Office to deliver the mail properly because the Town of Centerville and Centerville Station were only miles apart and too IFRX 0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE closely named. In 1906 the land that became the Village of Hugo was incorporated and separated from Oneka Township. Shortly after the Village of Hugo was incorporated the train station was renamed Hugo Depot, and continued to be the hub of the community for decades. The origin of the name "Hugo" has two prevailing theories. The first theory proposes the City was named in honor of Trevanion William Hugo, a native Englishman who was mayor of Duluth from 1900 to 1904 and again in 1920, and also served as a marine engineer on the Great Lakes. The second and most commonly known theory is that Hugo is named for Victor Hugo, famed French politician, artist and writer of such works as "The Hunchback of Notre -Dame" and "Les Miserables". The Village of Hugo had strong ties to French ancestry, and Victor Hugo may have been admired enough for some to suggest naming the new village after him. However, there is no conclusive evidence to prove such a theory. Over the next 6 decades the City continued as a small farming and railroad community. In 1972, the Township of Oneka and the Village of Hugo were consolidated and in 1976 the Village of Hugo became an official City by State Statute. Over the past several decades urban development in the City of Hugo has focused along the major transportation corridors including the old railroad line along Highway 61. The more concentrated growth has occurred in the western portion of the City and the eastern half has remained predominately rural. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only 1990-2018 Since 1990 Hugo's population has grown rapidly. The City has developed at a thoughtful pace with significant developments such as Victor Gardens and Waters Edge, which have urbanized the western portion of the City with smaller units, multimodal connections and close proximity to commercial amenities. A tornado hit the community in 2008 and it destroyed more than 50 homes and damaged hundreds more. This event became an important part of the City's history as the community came together and relief poured in from all over the Twin Cities Metro area. Hugo recovered with new momentum. Residential and commercial development continued. The City has become highly regarded for its stormwater management practices. Since 2015 Hugo has planned and implemented a number of water reuse projects which help the City save money while conserving drinking water and reducing its impact on the regional watershed. A strong industrial community has also gained momentum thanks to the City's location and amenities such as rail. A variety of manufacturing and construction businesses, including the headquarters of Wilson Tool International and Glamos Wire, continue to locate and expand in Hugo. With new residential, industrial and commercial growth on the horizon, the City's future remains bright. COMMUNITY BACKGROUND 13 Demographics Looking at demographic data helps the City understand the similarities and diversities of the residents so that housing needs, neighborhood patterns, community facilities and other land use decisions can be made proactively and in a manner that not only responds to current residents, but future and prospective residents. The following section describes who is living in the City now and how we expect the City to grow by 2040. Demographic Data was compiled using information from the U.S Census Bureau Decennial Survey, U.S Census Bureau American Community Survey Estimates, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, and the Metropolitan Council.

This growth was attributed to the availability of developable land within the City, the overall regional growth of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area (TCMA) and Hugo's desirable location at the fringe of the TCMA. Since 2010, population growth slowed. When the 2030 Comprehensive Plan was completed in 2008, the Metropolitan Council projected that the City's population would increase to 40,000 people by 2030. Metropolitan Council reduced the anticipated population growth to 29,000 people by 2040. Table XX shows that between 2000 and 2010, the population grew by 135%, and that between 2010 and 2020 it is expected to grow by 34%. The Metropolitan Council will support the growth anticipated by the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, if needed. Hugo anticipates continued growth in the community and will plan to serve population growth of 40,000 people and 15,600 households, as anticipated in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. i-JLL1Lt-T,G0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Table 2-1 Population and Households in Hugo, 1970- 20140 1970 2,669 654 1980 3,771 1,082 41% 65% 1990 4,417 1,416 17% 31% 2000 6,363 2,125 44% 50% 2010 13,332 4,990 110% 135% 2015 14,352 5,404 8% 8% 2020 19,100 7,200 33% 33% 2030 29,000 11,000 52% 53% 2040 40,000 15,600 38% 42% DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMMUNITY BACKGROUND 15 Age and Gender In 2015, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that 50.1 % of the population is male and 49.9% is female.

Hugo continues to see increases in the number of residents who have an associates or a graduate / professional degree. The City will continue to monitor educational attainment to see if the changing numbers indicate long-term trends that have the potential to impact services. Household Size and Type Household in Hugo declined dramatically from an average of 3.12 people per household in 1990 to an average of 2.65 in 2010, and is holding relatively steady from 2010-2015. The reduction in the average number of people living in a household is similar to county -wide household size trends, which brings it closer to the regional household size overall. As shown in Figure xx, the data suggests that the number of people living alone continues to increase as well as unmarried families with children. These trends indicate that housing needs may be different for residents that live alone, families with children and families without children.

Hugo's household income is consistently higher than the County and the Region. During that same period the percent of Hugo residents living in poverty or within 185% of the poverty level increased from 9% in 2010 to 13% in 2015. This increase in poverty may be related to the increasing age of the population, student loan debt or other actors. -'GO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE $90,000 $80,000 $70,000 $60,000 $50,000 $40,000 $30,000 $20,000 $10,000 --e—Hugo —.*--Washington County —.*--Twin Cities Metro Area Figure 2-6 Median Household Income 2000-2015 2000 2010 2015 $63,450 $78,261 $82,880 $66,305 $79,109 $83,706 $54,304 $65,181 $68,778 DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only Source::Amemmn Community Suvey I � DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMMUNITY BACKGROUND 19 Housing The housing market in Hugo has evolved significantly in the last 20 years. The increased demand for housing in the 2000s dramatically diversified the housing stock. The City currently provides a number of housing types that serve a wide range of residents. While new housing development slowed after 2008, and housing prices declined, the market has started to recover. As of 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau found that there was a total of 5,189 housing units in Hugo and that number was estimated to increase to 5,592 by 2015. I ILt'GO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only COMMUNITY BACKGROUND 20 Housing Tenure and Vacancy From 2000-2010, the overall number of people who own homes in Hugo has risen, primarily due to the increase in population. However, the total percentage homeowners in Hugo dropped steadily, while the percentage of the population that rents homes has increased. This is likely due to the increased number of rental unit availability in the City. The median contract rent in 2015 for Hugo was $1,120, which is the second highest median rent among the communities in Washington County (Maxfield Research & Consulting, 2017). While this data suggests that more opportunities to develop rental housing may be possible, the City will need to evaluate how to support the development of rental units that are considered affordable. Residential Building Permits After the rapid growth of the community prior to 2008, the number of residential building permits issued for new home construction declined from 2007 to 2011. In 2012, the community saw some growth and growth has remained steady since that time.

Hugo's transportation network allows both residents and travelers to navigate through the City and access major points of interest including shopping and service areas, places of employment, homes and the highways that provide links to regional destinations. The primary north -south transportation routes through the City include State Trunk Highway (TH) 61 in the western half of Hugo and County Road (CR) 57 in the eastern half of Hugo. A major north -south regional transportation route, I- 35E is located directly west of the City in Anoka County. Access to 1-35E is provided through Anoka County via County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 8, which is called CSAH 14 in Anoka County. Traffic from residential development in Hugo and adjacent communities cross east -west through the City to reach 1-35E. The most significant east -west routes through the City are CSAH 4 (170th Street North), CSAH 7 (120th Street) and CSAH 8 (Frenchman Road, Egg Lake Road and 137th Street). In addition, there is a local collector road network that serves residents and local businesses. �JILL'Lt-`GO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only COMMUNITY BACKGROUND 27 Types of Roads To understand the road network within the City of Hugo, each road has a classification based on the Metropolitan Council Functional Classification System which describes the purpose and type of traffic the roads serve. Principal Arterial: A principal arterial is a limited -access roadway that serves moderate to long trip lengths and provides a system to move traffic through a city or region. Turning movements are often handled with turn lanes or signal systems. The purpose of a principal arterial is to move traffic with a certain degree of efficiency and speed and; therefore, are often characterized by wider lanes and shoulders. There are no principle arterials within the City of Hugo. The closest principle arterial is 1-35E, which is directly west of the City in Lino Lakes. Minor Arterial: A minor arterial generally augments the arterial system in more intensely developed areas. The purpose of augmenting the principal arterial may be to reduce speeds or provide more direct access to some of the residential or business areas within the community. Generally, minor arterials provide service to over 3,000 cars per day, and should be directly accessed only by principal arterials, other minor HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE arterials, or collectors. Highway 61, CSAH 4, CSAH 7 and CSAH 8 are examples of minor arterials in Hugo. Collectors: Collectors serve as connections between local streets and minor arterials. Their principal function is to carry short trip lengths and to serve adjacent land. These roads are generally capable of moving larger traffic volumes for limited distances. They may also carry traffic to and from dispersed major traffic generators. Access to collectors includes other collectors, minor arterials, local streets, and direct access from/to abutting lands. Fenway Boulevard, Goodview Avenue, Oneka Lake Boulevard and Oneka Parkway are examples of collector streets in the City of Hugo. Local Streets: Local streets primarily provide access to individually developed sites and connect to other local streets and collector streets. These streets are designed for low speed, local trips. Local streets serve most exclusively the residents in a neighborhood and do not generally provide access for through traffic. Residential streets are examples of local streets in Hugo.

The 1-35W/E coalition was formed with a commitment to advocate for interchange improvements and additional capacity within this corridor. The coalition includes both Anoka and Washington Counties and a number of local cities and townships including Hugo. The coalition is focusing on the improvement of the CSAH 8/14 and 1-35E interchange directly west of the City in Lino Lakes. Federal funding has been secured for a portion of the project and it has been completed. ,HUGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Public Transit Park and Ride Transportation There are no existing or planned Park and Ride transportation facilities in the City of Hugo. The nearest park and ride facilities that provide transit options to workers commuting to the Twin Cities Metro Region are located to the west of Hugo in the City of Centerville and to the south in Vadnais Heights and White Bear Lake. Because there are no public transit facilities located within the City of Hugo, we can reasonably assume that some of the working residents of Hugo are utilizing the park and ride facilities in other communities. It is important for the City to recognize these commuters and plan accordingly for future transportation facilities. Transit There are no existing regular public transit routes that directly access the Twin City Metro Area from the City of Hugo. However, transit service options are available to transit dependent seniors in Hugo by a Dial -a -Ride service provided by Human Services Inc. Hugo is currently outside of the Metropolitan Transit Taxing District but is within the area of potential transit service expansion. The southwest portion of the City is within Market Area I II and the remaining portion is in Market Area IV. Future service options for Market Area III include DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only peak -only express, small vehicle circulators, mid-day circulators, special needs para -transit and ridesharing. Future service options for Market Area IV include an expanded dial -a -ride program, a volunteer driver program and ridesharing. Hugo is also located within the Rush Line transit corridor study area that extends from St. Paul in Ramsey County to Hinckley in Pine County. The study has identified potential transit improvements such as commuter rail and express commuter buses to serve the corridor. It is anticipated that these transit lines would operate within dedicated right-of-way along Interstate 35E (directly west of the City) and TH 61. There are no formal plans for these transit improvements and construction will not begin until funding becomes available, which is likely not within the foreseeable future. However, keeping these potential transit corridors in mind now will allow the City of Hugo to plan effectively for the future. Preserving right-of-way and promoting higher density along the planned transit corridors is encouraged by the Metropolitan Council.

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that this average increased to 30 minutes in 2015. Means of Transportation to Work The majority of Hugo residents drive or carpool to work. Figure xx shows that all modes of transportation have increased over time (except for public transit), which is consistent with the increase in population. Commuteshed Table xx shows that the majority of Hugo residents travel to other communities to work, and that only 323 Hugo residents live and work in Hugo.

The City has made an effort to preserve many of these spaces as active and passive parks, conservation areas and protected waters (see Map xx—Existing Parks and Open Space). There are also a few neighborhood parks and community gathering centers located within the City's residential neighborhoods that are privately owned and maintained by the homeowners associations. These parks augment the City's system and serve the residents of these neighborhoods. The City's existing trail system consists of multi -use county trails and a series of city -owned pedestrian -bicycle paths, bicycle lanes, bicycle routes, snowmobile trails, equestrian trails and nature paths (see Map xx – Existing Sidewalks and Trails). There are nine lakes in the City classified as protected waters and 3 lakes which are classified as wetlands by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Hardwood Creek and Clearwater Creek and a number of judicial ditches also traverse the City. There are three separate watershed districts in the City of Hugo. The majority of the City is within the Rice Creek watershed district except for small portions of eastern Hugo that are within the Carnelian -Marine -St. Croix watershed district and the Browns Creek watershed district. There are also approximately 584 acres of protected wetlands in the City of Hugo that are included in the water land use category (see Map xx – Wetlands). However, the water land use category does not include some of the non -protected and seasonal wetland areas in the City.

Hugo is part of the seven -county metropolitan region. The total area of the City is approximately 36 square miles and the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) on the western portion of the City currently has 10,171 acres. This designation allows development of land to occur at urban densities with municipal sewer and water facilities. Existing Land Use The Metropolitan Council provides an inventory of land uses for each City, as shown in Map xx. The land use inventory is used to quantify development patterns, densities and other land use scenarios that can provide direction for future development and redevelopment in the City. This inventory, combined with other background information, is used to suggest where and at what intensity. The inventory can also help classify areas that should remain undeveloped or preserved based on the presence of wetlands, lakes, or the underlying conservation system. All of this information provides a baseline that the City can utilize when making land use and development decisions. This information will also be used to help develop the future land use component of the Comprehensive Plan. ,ERJGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Coluffibus I Forest Lake Scandia ; L Lino Lakes L Hugo May Twp. — I p i I Centerville 0 L ---- 0 0.5 1 il 3 4 Grant Miles 2010 Generalized Land Use Farmstead Mixed Use Residential Major Highway SeasonaINacation - Mixed Use Industrial Railway Single Family Detached Mixed Use Commercial and Other - Airport - Manufactured Housing Park ® Single Family Attached - Multifamily Retail and Other Commercial Office DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only Industrial and Utility - Extractive - Institutional - Park, Recreational or Preserve - Golf Course Agricultural Undeveloped Water L---� County Boundaries City and Township Boundaries NCompass Street Centerlines COMMUNITY BACKGROUND 35 Land Use Categories Agricultural and Farmsteads The agricultural land use category includes lands that are being used for commercial agricultural purposes and a broad range of other agricultural activities such as horse boarding and hobby farms. Farmsteads refer to the land that encompasses the single family dwelling and associated buildings of a farm. Undeveloped Land The undeveloped land use category in the City includes lands that are not currently being used for any defined purpose. The majority of the undeveloped land in the City reflects the floodplain and poor soil area that are unlikely to be capable of sustaining development. Undeveloped land may also include some non -protected wetlands and lands currently under development. Water Lakes, wetlands, streams and drainage ways dominate the landscape of the City of Hugo. These natural features play an extensive role in the way in which the community is currently developed, and will develop into the future. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Residential The existing land use plan identifies the following four residential land uses categories: Single Family (Detached), Single Family (Attached), Multi -Family housing and Manufactured Housing Park. The vast majority of the residential land area in the City of Hugo consists of Single Family (Detached) homes. This land use designation includes all residential units that are separated from each other. Detached townhomes are included in this category. The Single Family (Attached) land use designation includes all residential structures containing two or more units that have individua ground floor access. This category includes attached townhomes. The Multi -Family land use category includes residential structures that have two or more units but do not have primary ground floor access from all units. This category includes apartment buildings, senior housing facilities and condominiums. The Manufactured Housing Park designation includes areas where multiple manufactured housing structures are grouped together. There is one manufactured housing park located in the City along the east side of Highway 61 on the north end of downtown. There are approximately 105 manufactured homes within the park.

The CSAH 8 Corridor marks the western entrance to the City from 1-35E and serves as the gateway to downtown Hugo. The downtown district is centered at the new intersection created by the newly realigned CSAH 8 and Highway 61 and is the cultural and business center of the City. The majority of the businesses providing retail goods and services in Hugo have historically been located in the downtown. Industrial and Utility The designated industrial areas of the City are located along the Highway 61 corridor in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park and the Peloquin Industrial Park. The Bald Eagle Industrial Park is served by municipal utilities and has rail access. The Park includes businesses such as Wilson Tool, Loadmaster Lubricants, Xcel Energy, Western Spring, and Schwieters Companies. Mixed Use Institutional There are three categories for Mixed Use used by the Metropolitan Council: Mixed Use Residential, which is land containing a building with multiple uses in combination with at least a residential unit(s). Mixed Use Industrial, which is land containing a building with multiple uses in combination with industrial uses and NO residential units. An example would be a building containing a warehouse, offices, and stores. Mixed Use Commercial and Other, which is land containing a building with multiple uses but with NO residential units or industrial uses. Extractive There is a gravel pit in the rural portion of Hugo that has recently ended gravel mining operations by an agreement with the City. The property owner is required to restore the land comparable to adjacent lands or to its original state.

HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Business Park Restricted Industrial District The purpose of the business park district (BP) is to provide opportunities for office, office warehouse, light industrial, and light manufacturing businesses. Generally the types of uses that are intended for the [BP] district are wholesale and retail trade establishments for large volumes or bulk commercial items, office showrooms and small businesses that have both commercial and industrial characteristics. Uses allowed in the district are limited to those that are compatible with lower intensity residential and business uses, and which have limited amounts of truck traffic and outside storage in comparison to higher intensity industrial uses. Because business park areas may abut residential neighborhoods, uses are regulated in height, lot coverage, setbacks, landscaping, loading and use type, so as to facilitate compatibility between these uses and residential development. The minimum lot size in the BP district is 15,000 square feet.

The minimum lot size in the 1-3 district is 15,000 square feet. COMMUNITY BACKGROUND 41 Future Urban Service District The Future Urban Service District (FUS) represents transition areas of the City that have been identified in the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan as being physically eligible, fiscally practical, and generally suitable for future staging of urban services. The identified areas may be located within or outside of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area, and require installation of private well and septic systems until urban services are available. Development densities shall not exceed one dwelling unit per ten (10) acres. The intent of the District is to promote the preservation of large parcels that are unencumbered by inefficient building and road layouts, and to give notice to land owners that future extension of a full range of urban services into the area is likely. The pending future land uses could be any use consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Planned Unit Development District The purpose of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) district is to offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through relaxation of most normal zoning district standards to allow for a greater variety of uses, internal transfers of density, construction phasing and a potential for lower development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, it is expected that the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the standard zoning districts. The uses within the PUD must be consistent with the land uses designated for the area in the Comprehensive Plan. r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE City Overlay Districts There is a floodplain overlay district and a shoreland overlay district in the City of Hugo (see Map xx -- Floodplain and Map xx -- Shoreland). Each of these overlay districts adhere to the underlying zoning district but apply a more stringent application of allowed uses and intensification of uses due to the presence of significant natural resources.

The plan identifies where people will live, work, shop and play. Development anticipated in the plan drives the need for all types of infrastructure, including sewer, water, roads, and parks. In addition, the Land Use Plan helps the Planning Commission and City Council make decisions on individual development requests. Perhaps most importantly, the way land is used and the way in which uses are arranged are major contributors to a community's quality of life. The purpose of the Land Use Plan is to: 1) identify appropriate locations for all types of land use; 2) specify criteria for determining the appropriate location for a specific land use; 3) layout strategies to ensure that all the various types of uses exist together harmoniously and 4) provide critical background data for infrastructure planning. LAND USE 47 Community Feedback Hugo residents identified the blend of small-town, country feel and urban neighborhoods along with the proximity of the town to Interstate 35 and the Twin Cities as a strength of the community. However, residents also felt that development of more urban neighborhoods should be managed so that the small-town feel can be maintained and natural resources can be protected. Residents also felt that development on Highway 61 and in downtown should be maximized to provide commercial and residential opportunities. During the 2040 Plan update process, Hugo held three open houses and offered two online surveys to get feedback from residents.

XWO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 52 Managing Growth Metropolitan Council Geographic Planning Area The City of Hugo is 36 square miles in size. Located in northwestern Washington County, Hugo is bounded on the north by Forest Lake, on the east by May Township, on the south by Grant and White Bear Township, and on the west by the City of Lino Lakes. Hugo is part of the seven - county metropolitan region. The City is designated by the Metropolitan Council as a "emerging suburban" and partially as a "diversified rural" geographic planning area in the 2040 MSP Thrive Plan. The Metropolitan Council defines these areas as follows: Emerging Suburban Edge communities include cities, townships and portions of both that are in the early stages of transitioning into urbanized levels of development. Emerging Suburban Edge communities are expected to plan for forecasted population and household growth at average densities of at least 3-5 units per acre for new development and redevelopment. In addition, Emerging Suburban Edge communities are expected to target opportunities for more intensive development near regional transit investments at densities and in a manner articulated in the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan.

Diversified Rural communities are expected to plan for growth not to exceed forecasts and in patterns that do not Figure 3-1 exceed 4 units per 40 acres. In addition, Diversified Rural communities are expected to manage land uses to prevent the premature demand for extension of urban services, and so that existing service levels will meet service needs. There are 10,171 acres in the 2040 Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). This designation allows development of land to occur at urban densities with urban infrastructure of city water and sewer facilities. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only 2010 2020 2030 2040 2040 Update - • > 2030 Comprehensive Plan While the Metropolitan Council has agreed to ensure services area is avail- able for the 2030 population estimate of 40, 000 people, the new forecasts anticipate a population of 29,000 by 2040 and no changes to the MUSA are proposed. However, Hugo will continue to plan for 19,100 people in 2020, 29, 000 in 2030, and 40, 000 in 2040. LAND USE 53 Growth Framework Rapid residential development in the region from the late 1990s through 2005 caused the City of Hugo to reevaluate development opportunities in the City. The City Council authorized an extensive public participation process to update the 2030 Comprehensive Plan in 2007. In the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, a large area of the City was added to the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) to accommodate anticipated exponential growth. Since that time, growth has slowed and population projections have been adjusted to reflect market conditions, as shown in Figure xx. The Metropolitan Council will continue to support the development of sewer services for up to 40,000 people by 2040, because the City had planned for that level of growth as part of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. While the Metropolitan Council has agreed to ensure services area is available for the 2030 population estimates of 40,000 people, the new forecasts anticipate a population of 29,000 by 2040 and no changes to the MUSA are proposed. However, Hugo will continue to plan for 19,100 people in 2020, 29,000 in 2030, and 40,000 in 2040. The City of Hugo seeks to promote a more efficient use of land in order to allow the City to balance the demand for urban services and the ability of the City to provide those services in a fiscally and environmentally responsible manner. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only Growth Management Goals The following are the City's goals for growth management: To accommodate growth at a level that allows for the careful planning and preservation of valuable natural resources and rura character and to manage the transition from rural to urban development. 2. To accommodate the extension of urban services in such a manner that would facilitate this type of planned growth. 3. To maintain a level of growth that is consistent with the City's ability to cost-effectively provide services for future development in a timely manner. 4. To maintain efficient, cost-effective and organized land development patterns. 5. To accommodate a reasonable and rational amount of development consistent with the region's need to grow while preserving the balance of supply and demand. DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 54 Growth Management Approach Establish Growth Management policies that require the following growth management approach: Manage the allocation of residential units on a yearly basis, but averaged over a 5 -year period, to ensure land supply is not prematurely depleted and to ensure, wherever possible, even growth from year to year. • Spread area assessments only to lands that are imminently developable within the 2030 MUSA. Growth Management and Housing Affordability It is important to acknowledge that because the supply of developable land may become more limited while demand remains strong and the costs to develop land become higher, the result may be higher housing costs, making affordable housing more difficult to provide. In order to combat this unintended and undesirable outcome, the City may need to take steps to ensure that a reasonable proportion of the new housing stock is affordable in keeping with the mandates of the Metropolitan Council (See Chapter xx - Housing Plan). HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only Growth Management Policies It is the City's growth management policy to: Construct trunk utilities within the 2040 MUSA to accommodate an average of approximately 420 new residential units per year. The City will use a rolling average over 5 year increments so that a lower level of development may occur in some years and a higher leve in other years, provided the average annual residential permits does not exceed 420 units per year. 2. Expand MUSA in a manner that promotes orderly, contiguous and sequential growth. Leapfrog development past parcels that are located in the 2040 MUSA, but to which utilities have not yet been extended, will be discouraged. 3. Develop infrastructure assessment policies that ensure that development is not encouraged by levying of assessments against properties that are not yet ready for development. 4. Require a staging plan for all new developments so that infrastructure within a given phase can be staged. 5. Limit total rural development in areas beyond the 2040 MUSA to one unit per 10 acres or less density. 6. Limit future development in areas located within the 2040 MUSA, but not serviced by public utilities, to one unit per 20 acres or less density except for lots of record. This will allow preservation of land in parcels large enough to ensure opportunities for future development. DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 55 Land Uses Land Use in Hugo Table xx provides a breakdown of future land use for each land use classification in the 2040 Land Use Plan. When interpreting the 2040 Land Use Plan (Map xx), the City will use the following guidelines: Where applicable, the boundary between two land use classifications shall be considered to extend to the center of an adjacent street. • In undeveloped areas, the classifications on the plan assume that the boundary between classifications will follow major roads. Consequently, if the final alignment of a road changes from that shown on the map, the line on the 2040 Land Use Plan will also move to reflect the adjusted road alignment. For the different residential, commercial and industrial classifications, there is more than one corresponding zoning district that may be applicable to a particular site depending on: 1) the type and density/intensity of uses; 2) compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan, including public facilities (e.g. transportation and sanitary sewer); and 3) the purposes of the individual zoning district. HLU0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Consistency with Local Controls DRAFT Dec14-17 State law requires consistency between a community's comprehensive plan and official controls. Whenever the City makes a change to its Comprehensive Plan, the City will review its official controls, including the Zoning Ordinance, to identify possible inconsistencies between the adopted plan and official controls. An inconsistency would be any official control that is in direct conflict with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. • To maintain consistency between the 2040 Land Use Plan and Zoning Map, the City will only rezone property consistent with the Land Use Plan. • The City has established a uniform process and criteria for amending the Land Use Plan. The description of the process and review criteria is found in Appendix 4A. • All development must comply with the Zoning Ordinance requirements and any adopted guideline, such as the Multi - Family Design Guidelines, the Downtown District Guidelines, and the Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines.

These areas are primarily residential in nature, with many existing lots that are less than 5 acres in size, although some limited agricultural uses do occur in these areas. These areas are not intended to be served by sewer and water prior to 2040. Maintaining a low level of development in these areas will help preserve open and scenic areas, natural features and ecological functions and will minimize demand for services associated with denser development and the related costs for improvements.

It is expected that these neighborhoods will retain the existing suburban development characteristics and would not be expected to allow subdivision at densities less than these existing densities. The City has established the R-1 zoning district with a 1 -acre minimum lot size to reflect the characteristics of these neighborhoods. Some of the properties in this area are currently served by wells and septic systems. These areas may be served by urban services including sewer and water, sewer only or water only depending upon availability. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Minimum Density: Maximum Density: City Utilities: Types of Development: Development Location Criteria DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only None 1 units per net acre Required for all new development • Single-family detached dwellings • Private or public parks. trails, or open space • Direct access to local streets • Adjacent to local street or minor collector streets • Neighborhood parks or school parks within '/z mile walking distance of the neighborhood • Developments should provide connections to Greenway where feasible • Defined trail/sidewalk system that connects the neighborhood to other services and facilities, including parks, schools, churches and neighborhood shopping areas • Areas where transitions from higher intensity uses can be provided DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 60 Low Density Residential (LDR) The Low Density residential designation identifies residential land uses developed between 2 units per net acre and 4 units per net acre. These areas are served or are intended to be served by urban services including sewer and water. The primary use in this area is single-family detached homes and some two-family homes. The Low Density Residential classification identifies the City's lowest density neighborhoods of new single-family detached homes and two-family homes, and directly related complementary uses, such as churches, schools and recreational facilities. Lot sizes in areas guided low density will reflect the City's Housing Plan goal to develop new homes at a minimum of two units per acre, as well as to make reasonable use of the City's investment in public utilities and the limited supply of available land within the urban service area. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Minimum Density: 2 units per net acre Maximum Density: 3 units per net acre (up to 4 units per net acre with a PUD) Up to 1 additional unit per net acre may be allowed if the PUD criteria are met.

These areas are served or are intended to be served by urban services including sewer and water. The primary uses in this designation will be a mix of housing such as single-family residential, twin homes, town homes, and row homes. This designation provides a transition area between single-family uses and the commercial and retail uses along the main corridors. Medium Density Residential identifies areas for single and two-family homes and townhomes and directly related complementary uses, such as churches, schools and recreational facilities. The primary intent behind the Medium Density designation is to respond to a need for smaller homes on smaller lots. The City needs to offer the opportunity for this type of housing which expands opportunities for families seeking more affordable single-family home living and responds to changing demographics. As the population ages, there will be a growing need for smaller homes for empty nesters and for smaller families. Medium Density offers the opportunity for townhomes, which provide additional life cycle housing opportunities. Townhomes in neighborhoods offer residents a housing option with less maintenance than a typical single-family home, but located in a familiar residential dwelling. Because of the importance of preserving natural resources and amenities, the City may allow a density up to eight units per acre when a developer preserves a significant natural resource. The City will evaluate requests on a case by case basis where a developer can demonstrate that a greater density of attached housing could preserve a significant natural resource that would be lost through development at a lower density. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Minimum Density: 3 units per net acre Maximum Density: 6 units per net acre (up to 8 units per net acre with a PUD) Up to 2 additional units per net acre may be allowed if the PUD criteria are met.

These uses will include two or more of the following: residential, commercial, office, retail and public/ quasi -public uses, where the primary land use is commercial or residential. The mixed use areas are served or are intended to be served by municipal sewer and water. Providing a mix of land uses in close proximity to each other creates opportunities for residents to walk to shopping, transit services, recreation and work. Mixing land uses can reduce reliance on the automobile, while leading to greater convenience in people's day -today lives. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Minimum Area: 10 acres Minimum Residential Density 10 units per net acre Maximum Residential Density 60 units per net acre City Utilities: Required for all new development Types of Development: A mix of residential, commercial, office, retail and public/quasi-public uses • Abuts or has reasonably direct access to major collectors or minor arterials • Transit within'/2 mile walking distance of the development • Neighborhood parks or school parks within'/2 mile walking distance of the development Development Location Criteria: • Defined trail system that connects to other services and facilities, including parks, schools, churches and neighborhood shopping areas • Close proximity to jobs • Provide transitions to adjacent land uses • Small parcels should be consolidated to create parcels large enough to ensure well- planned development to occur Development Policies: • Natural resources should be preserved or enhanced • Provide for a variety of uses within the development • Provide strong pedestrian connections DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 64 DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Mixed Use Development Characteristics Mixed use development allows the mixing of higher intensity land uses in one building (vertical mixing) or the physical integration of different uses on the same lot or within close proximity (horizontal mixing). Typically, mixed use includes a combination of retail, office, cultural or entertainment uses with higher density residential use. However, these uses can occur without housing and still be considered mixed use. Hugo will look for mixed use to occur primarily with a mix of non-residential uses (with or without housing as a component). Mixed use developments that are primarily a mix of different residential uses will not be allowed in this district. Land suitable for higher density housing is limited in Hugo. Mixed use development sites would provide an opportunity for additional higher density housing in the City, while at the same time preserving or creating opportunity for commercial development. • Mixed use developments will be processed as a planned unit development (PUD), with the location of specific uses and development criteria for the entire site determined through that process. In order to develop a complete mix of uses in this area, the City has established a minimum development area of 10 acres. Existing parcels less than 10 acres in size must be combined with adjacent parcels in order to meet this minimum area requirement. • A minimum of 2,230 new housing units will be constructed in areas designated as mixed use. Housing within mixed use developments would consist primarily of multiple family housing types (apartments and condominiums) designed to meet the needs of smaller households, such as young adults, empty nesters and seniors. • The Mixed Use areas will provide an opportunity for residential uses at a minimum of 10 units per acre. This residential development will provide an opportunity for affordable housing to meet the City's housing goals. It is expected that 50% of mixed use developments will be residential. • Commercial uses in smaller mixed use developments should generally be limited to office uses and neighborhood centers that offer basic convenience type goods and services to the neighborhood. Larger mixed use developments could also incorporate retail or service establishments that provide goods and services on a limited community scale (drug stores. restaurants, banks, personal service establishments, etc.), as well as office uses. The type of commercial uses in mixed use development should allow residents to meet more of their daily needs through walking and fewer vehicle trips, thereby reducing congestion on public streets. • We expect that these areas will include a mix of residential and commercial uses, but some business park uses may also be permitted. These mixed use areas are in highly visible areas of the City and, consequently, development in these gateway areas will be expected to provide a higher level of site design and architectural design than in other areas of the city. There are three areas designated as Mixed Use in the City. The general characteristics of each district are described below, but the implementation steps indicate a master planning study will be undertaken for the Northern Gateway areas Downtown District On April 10, 2007, the City approved the Downtown Plan & Design Guidelines to provide direction for new development in downtown Hugo and to shape plans for redevelopment. This vision of future development in Hugo encourages commercial growth, while seeking to concentrate that growth around the downtown area. A mix of walkable commercial, residential, and office uses is desirable for the Downtown District, and should be generally be more vertically integrated in and around the Downtown Mixed Use District. The Downtown Districts is shown as Mixed Use on the 2040 Land Use Plan. The City of Hugo expects development to occur in this area in compliance with the Downtown Plan & Design Guidelines. NUAGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Elmcrest Avenue and 170th Street This District will be a new northeastern gateway into the City. Current plans for redeveloping Elmcrest mean that this gateway could be of a similar size as the gateway at County Road 8. This mixed use district is most suitable for a mixed used development with an emphasis on commercial uses that will serve residents in nearby medium density districts and that need for visibility along County Road 4. Business and residential uses would also be a suitable component of the development district, with commercial likely along Elmcrest Avenue and County Road 4 with residential interior to the commercial development. Uses may be more horizontally integrated, with an emphasis on high quality architecture, landscaping, lighting and design along County Road 4. Gateway elements on the north and south side of County Road 4 at Elmcrest will be a part of any future development. DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Highway 61 and 170th Street The proximity of this district to other industrial uses makes it suitable for a mixed use district with an emphasis on residential, office, retail and public/quasi-public uses. The location of this district on Highway 61, County Road 4 and the Hardwood Creek Trail make this district an important transportation node. Developments should provide coordinated and logically linked pedestrian, vehicle, and recreational plans that facilitate a comfortable user experience for the site's users. This district will support auto -oriented uses that would not otherwise be allowed in the Downtown District. Development of mixed use centers in this district should be designed with one theme with similar architectural style, similar exterior building materials, and coordinated site elements such as landscaping and lighting. Developments and uses should be complementary to nearby mixed use developments. LAND USE 65 Business Park (BP) The Business Park designation provides opportunities for office, office warehouse, light industrial, and light manufacturing businesses. This use generally identifies larger tracts of land that that would be suitable for office and business park type developments. The Business Park areas are served or are intend to be served by urban services including sewer and water and are concentrated in areas that are accessible to key transportation corridors.

This designation includes commercial, office and retail uses and is generally concentrated along key transportation corridors. Except for one existing business in the southeast corner of the city, these areas are served or are intended to be served by urban services including sewer and water. Commercial land uses will occupy a relatively small amount of the City's land area. However, their location and accessibility are critical to providing residents with necessary goods and services. The location of and access to a specific commercial site is directly related to the type and intensity of commercial use that the site can support. The Commercial Land Use classification allows a wide variety of uses including those for convenience -oriented, neighborhood -oriented, highway -oriented and community -oriented markets and consumers. These areas provide a wide range of goods and services to serve many of the shopping needs of people who live or work in the City. A regional -oriented shopping center is not expected to be built in Hugo due to the limited availability of freeway access, and because the City is within the trade area of existing regional centers in other communities. Furthermore, the City of Hugo will prepare design guidelines or ordinances to ensure that quality commercial development is developed at a scale that is compatible with surrounding land uses. Proposed commercial developments must be carefully evaluated in terms of their access, location, size, intensity, traffic generation, context, site plan and building orientation, structural aesthetics, and transition to non-commercial uses in order to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the surrounding property and the City as a whole.

It also frequently requires the use of transitions from one land use to another. However, a mixing of land uses and the accompanying transitions help create a more exciting and stimulating environment than one dominated by a single land use. The compatibility of one land use with another depends on what the uses are and the quality of site design. Compatibility may be judged broadly based on general land use or narrowly on the design features of a specific project. What uses are compatible is often a matter of the particular circumstances of a proposed development and its location. Therefore, there are no hard and fast rules that apply in every case. Good transitions can be promoted both by land use planning and by development regulations and site planning techniques. Opportunities for good transitions can be enhanced or lost when the overall land use pattern is set. For example, a Land Use Plan should anticipate the need for transitions by using natural or manmade features, such as a wetland or a major roadway, as separation between potentially incompatible uses. If incompatible uses are placed next to each other without physical separation, it is possible that no amount of site planning can mitigate the potential problem. Traditionally, it is the responsibility of the more intense land use to provide an appropriate transition to an adjacent less intense land use. However, sometimes making an appropriate transition is the responsibility of the last property owner to develop. Consequently, it is important to consider existing and future land use when planning for transitions. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 71 Land Planning Techniques for Transitions Land use planning techniques for transitions include: • Using natural features (such as water bodies. wetlands. trees, ravines, and other topographic features) to separate uses. Figure 3-2 illustrates how a wetland can be used to separate residential and light industrial uses. The wetland provides a natural barrier between the two uses and also provides a greater separation in distance than standard zoning setback requirements. • Using man-made features to separate uses. Just as natural features can be used to separate uses, so may man-made features, such as major roadways or parks. • Placing uses next to different uses of similar intensity. Figure 3-3 illustrates an apartment building, which is an intense/dense residential use, located across a major street from a retail center, also a relatively intense use. Another example would be placing an office use next to an apartment building or similar types of lesser intensity uses. • Graduating land use intensity (such as placing low density residential next to medium density residential next to high density residential, etc.). Figure 3-4 illustrates a progression from single-family homes to townhomes or apartments. In this example, the density and scale of each of the developments relates to the neighboring use. • Establishing land use patterns that avoid mixing traffic from high intensity uses with low intensity uses on local streets (no sketch). For example, streets should be laid out so that commercial traffic takes access from collector or higher-level streets, not local streets that directly serves driveways for residential properties. Land use planning techniques for transitions are reflected in the Land Use Guide Plan map and may be used as development location criteria when considering amendments to the Land Use Guide Plan. However, the separation of uses resulting from the use of these techniques must be balanced with the benefits of having different land uses located in close proximity for the sake of convenience and livability.

Site planning techniques for transitions usually take the form of berms, fences, vegetative screening, and landscaped buffer yards. While these techniques can provide a smooth transition between uses, they are often used by communities to create a wall that completely separates adjacent land uses. This is not the objective of a good site level transition. Rather, a site level transition should be just that, a passage from one land use to another. Site Planning techniques for transitions include: • Site layout -requiring separation of active areas from sensitive uses (Figure 3-5). The active areas, such as a truck loading area, parking lots or major site entrances, should be placed away from areas such as private residential yards.

Requiring design that is complementary in height, scale, massing, materials, roof lines, door and window placement and overall appearance to adjacent buildings. Figure 3-6 illustrates a retail center adjacent to a single- family neighborhood. The center is similar in height to the adjacent homes, has pitched roofs that are typically associated with residential construction and has a staggered building line to break up the mass of the building to give the appearance of less bulk. Figure 3-6 DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only Building orientation. Requiring that different uses abut at side or rear yards rather than facing each other across front yards. Figure 3-7 illustrates how this could work with single-family homes and townhomes.

Figure 3-8 shows how open space separating single homes and apartments lessens the difference in scale between the two uses. Buffering and screening. Using berms, landscaping and vegetation, and/or elevation changes to separate uses. Fences and walls can also be used to provide screening when there is no change in elevation, or when there is insufficient space to construct a berm. Figure 3-9 shows how a landscaped berm and a vegetated slope can provide a transition between single-family homes and higher intensity uses of various types. The example illustrates that these transitions soften the change in use, but do not and are not intended to completely screen the more intense use. It is important that the buffers are consistent in scale and mass to the adjacent land uses, and still allow convenient pedestrian access from one use to another. • General performance standards, including standards for lighting/glare, dust, air pollution, noise, exterior storage/display, radiation/electric emission, etc. The City has established general performance standards in the Zoning Ordinance to address these items. Performance standards for specific uses -including outdoor storage, drive- through businesses, gas stations, etc. that may relate to site planning as well as operational issues, such as business hours. The City has established general performance standards in the Zoning Ordinance to address these items. Site planning techniques for transitions will be reviewed and evaluated as the City considers applications for development approvals. The transitions to nearby existing and planned uses are important factors in determining whether or not development will be compatible with its surroundings. Specific requirements and standards for particularly sensitive uses will be included in the City's zoning regulations and other relevant sections of the City Code.

In addition to current site planning regulations, the City will also consider the following: • Work with developers to preserve significant environmental features through development, such as stands of trees. • Minimizing the rate and volume of runoff by encouraging reduction of impervious surfaces such as paving and parking. • Creating incentives in the landscaping requirements for a developer to preserve trees. • Encouraging use of native plant materials that require less maintenance and fertilizing. • Encouraging development of water quality ponds as site amenities in addition to their water quality function. • Creating incentives for developers to improve the quality of wetlands on-site. • Creating incentives for developers to establish wetland buffers. • Encourage water reuse through policies in Hugo's Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan. ,FRX30 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 75 Aggregate Resources The Aggregate Resources in the City of Hugo are limited to four areas in eastern Hugo (See Map xx—Aggregate Resources). The properties are guided Agricultural or Large Lot Residential. The Aggregate Resources identified for Hugo are primarily Class 6 (moderate to good quality aggregate) and Class 11 (good to excellent quality aggregate). This analysis is based on data found in Aggregate Resources Inventory of the Seven -County Metropolitan Area, Minnesota. This report is from a project funded jointly by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Metropolitan Council, and the Minnesota Geological Survey. It was released on May 9, 2000 as Minnesota Geological Survey Information Circular 46. Among its conclusions, the report shows that the Twin Cities region is rapidly consuming aggregate resources. With the continuing expansion of developed areas, possible zoning restrictions, and other factors, aggregate supplies in the Twin Cities region may be exhausted as early as 2028. Local and regional decisions will have important implications for future supplies and costs of aggregate materials. The City does not currently have any active mining operations. However, the City Zoning Ordinance allows mining operations as a conditional use in the Agricultural Zoning District, subject to certain standards. The City will continue to allow mining operations as a conditional use permit in the Agricultural District to allow extraction of aggregate resources prior to platting these undeveloped sites identified on the Aggregate Resources map. However, the City will review these conditional use permits standards as part of the Implementation Plan to ensure that the standards minimize potential land use conflicts. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 76 DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only QZT.,12I 2040 Aggregate Resource Map Class 6: Des Moines Lob Deposits Class 7: Superior Lob Deposits Municipal Boundary 2040 MUSA Boundary Parcel Open Water Streams and Ditches Street 0 0.25 0.5 1 O Miles NORTH 1211112017 Map 3-2 DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only Appendices JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 78 Appendix 3-1 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 79 Appendix 3-2 Downtown Plan & Design Guidelines tflpCTO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 80 Appendix 3-3 Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 81 Appendix 3-4 Multi -Family Development Design Guidelines tflpCTO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only LAND USE 82 Chapter Housing Plan jjjV;0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only A community is made up of residents, businesses and institutions. One of the primary purposes of a community is to serve as a place of residence for its citizens. Offering a mix of housing opportunities to meet the needs of existing and future residents is often a challenge for local governments. As people go through various stages and/or changes in their lives, their needs and desires for different types of housing change. Further, the challenges of providing different types of housing are often beyond the control of the community. Nevertheless, there is a lot that local governments can do to address housing needs within the community. HOUSING 83 Community Feedback Feedback from the Open Houses indicates that residents support the recent development of the different types of housing in the City. A diversity of housing types gives residents options to stay in the City as their lives change, as their families grow or children leave their homes. "ILIL t -TG0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE State and County Housing Initiatives In 1996, the State Legislature passed the Livable Communities Act to induce communities, through the use of incentive funding of certain projects, to meet state and regional goals for housing development. These goals include: • Developing communities providing a full range of housing opportunities. • Rehabilitation and preservation of affordable housing in developed areas. • Interrelating development or redevelopment of transit with housing. • Interrelating affordable housing and employment growth. • Intensification of land use to have more compact development and redevelopment. • Mixing the income levels of residents in neighborhoods. • Encouraging public infrastructure development that connects urban and suburban communities. Communities' housing plans are reviewed by the Metropolitan Council for consistency with state law and established goals. As a minimum, the plan must include a description of the community's existing housing supply, identify future housing needs, establish policies to guide decision making for residential development and redevelopment, and describe the methods to be used by the community to achieve its housing goals. The Metropolitan Council will "work with local communities in a partnership to meet the range of housing needs of people at various life- cycle stages; broaden location choice and access throughout the region for people of all income levels; and support use of public funds to help achieve these goals. The Council will use the State Livable Communities Act to further this goal." In addition to housing policies established at the state and regional levels, Washington County also has various housing plans and programs that encourage the development of life -cycle and affordable housing.

HUAGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 HOUSING 8A for review only Housing Trends Changing Demographics While population growth slowed in the last 10 years, the number of people living in Hugo is expected to continue growing. As the population grows, the City will need to plan housing types that address the changing needs of different types of populations and changing household structures. Changing Population As the population in Hugo continues to grow, the population also continues to change. Chapter 2 (Community Background), notes that from 2010-2015 there was a 10% decline in population of 25 to 34 - year old age range, while all other age cohorts continued to grow. As a percentage of population, there are declines in not only 25 to 34 -year old age range, there is also a decline in the number of people under 15 and people in the 35 -54 -year old range. Those residents in the 15 to 24 -year old age range saw a slight increase in numbers as a percentage of population. Residents over 55 grew as a percentage of the population. This indicates that there may be an increase in demand for smaller housing units, senior housing, and amenities that are near aging residents. In addition to aging residents, the number of non-white residents is slowly increasing. State trends indicate that non-white populations will continue to grow in communities throughout the state. As these populations grow, policymakers should continue to reach out to new minority populations to better understand housing needs. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Age of Hugo Residents as a Percentage of Population 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% I0% Under 15 15-24 25-34 35-54 55-74 75 0 1990 0 2000 0 2010 2015 Figure 4-1 Household Composition 50% 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% Figure 4-2 Household Type as a Percentage of Population III III III 1 III Familieswithout Lived alone Married families Non -family Unmarried families children with children households with children ■ 2000 ■ 2010 ■ 2015 source us Census am e, As noted in Chapter 2 (Community Background), the composition of households in the community has changed from 2000-2015.

Data shows that one of the most significant changes over the last 20 years has been a decline in the number of married families with children and the increasing number of people who live along in their household. These changes in household composition is reflected in the decline of household size from 2.99 people per household in 2000 to 2.65 people per household in 2010.

To accommodate this range, the City's housing supply should be diverse, consisting of a variety of prices and styles of housing. As people go through various stages and/or changes in their lives, their needs and desires for different types of housing change. The City must provide the policy leadership and supportive programs necessary to meet the anticipated future housing needs of residents. The housing needs in Hugo are represented by the following: • Entry-level householders who often prefer to rent basic, inexpensive apartments. They are usually singles, couples or roommates in their 20's without children. • First-time homebuyers and move -up renters who often prefer to purchase modestly -priced single- family homes and townhomes or rent more upscale apartments. They are usually married or cohabiting couples, some with children, in their mid -20's or 30's. • Move -up homebuyers who often prefer to purchase newer, larger and therefore, more expensive single-family homes. They are typically married couples in their late 30's to 40's with children. Younger independent seniors who prefer owning but will consider renting their housing. Some will move to lower -maintenance housing products and some will move to retirement havens for at least part of the year. They are generally in their late 60's or 70's.

The following factors may limit the City's ability to meet life -cycle housing needs in Hugo over the next twenty years: • The supply of housing, both rental and ownership, may not keep pace with the demand created by changing demographics. Such changes indicate that the demand for alternatives to the single family home will continue to be strong in the future. • Sites suitable for higher -density housing types (apartments) are limited to the needs of the marketplace. • Public resources for assisting in the provision of special needs housing for the elderly and disabled are very limited. • The demand for affordable family and senior housing far exceeds the supply. • Empty -nesters who generally prefer owning and may consider moving to alternative lower • The lack of any consistent transit service to the community. maintenance housing products.

This assumed trend is supported by the level of interest recently shown by developers to construct townhomes geared for seniors and empty -nesters. Several recent projects have included the construction of units with single -level floor plans with grounds and buildings that have some level of maintenance provided by a common association. These households have proven popular with empty -nesters and young independent seniors. Additionally, the City has received proposals for larger retirement communities designed and marketed with products and amenities geared for residents over the age of 55. Table 4-4 - Senior Living Facilities in Hugo shows the type, units, and public subsidy available in Hugo. The City is expecting the demand for all types of senior housing to continue to increase. Much of the demand for senior housing will be for those who are disabled or require services. Such facilities are generally high density but often fit well into lower density neighborhoods. Facilities of this type that provide some level of services to the residents should be allowed in lower density residential categories as shown on the land use plan, or should be blended into more diverse housing developments.

The 2015 American Community Survey estimates there are 117 people ages 18-64 in Hugo with an independent living difficulty. As the population ages, it is expected that the number of persons needing accessible housing will increase. Rental Housing Decisions on owning versus renting vary with the stages in the life cycle. For example, younger individuals or couples, who are still at the early stages of their earning potential, will likely begin as renters and move to home ownership at some point. Similarly, retired individuals or couples may wish to sell their homes in favor of renting or owning in a complex where they will need to do little or no maintenance themselves. Lastly, there is a growing segment of the housing market that is identified as "Renters by Choice".

However, it is not known if these workers would move to Hugo if more affordable housing were available in the City. Given today's high employment rates, providing more housing affordable to Hugo workers could aid businesses in attracting and keeping workers needed to keep Hugo businesses profitable and in the City. Consequently, the City should work with Hugo businesses to find ways to promote affordable housing to maintain a healthy business climate.

There are barriers to the development of affordable housing, some of which are within the City's control and some of which are not. Many of these barriers increase the cost of development and dissuade developers from undertaking affordable housing development projects. Barriers to affordable housing beyond the City's control include: • Steady increase in land prices. • Construction costs (materials, labor, etc.) continue to increase, making it more difficult to provide affordable and market -rate units through new construction. • The cost of developing property for rental units exceeds rents that could be supported in the City DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only poor access and/or poor soil conditions that require construction that is more expensive and tends to spread the development costs over fewer housing units.

Included among these barriers are the amount of land guided and zoned for various types and densities of residential use, development fees, public improvement standards such as required street width and utility construction specifications, and development regulations such as park dedication fees. All of these impact development costs. Fair Housing Fair housing is the assurance that adequate housing opportunities are available to all citizens of Hugo.

Strategic planning, strong partnerships and a clear understanding of the City's goals are important when planning economic resiliency and growth. The City of Hugo is devoted to the growth and expansion of local businesses and industry in order to increase the local tax base, increase local employment and provide a full range of services to residents. The City has been proactive in creating economic development opportunities within the community. Collaboration with the City's Economic Development Association (EDA), Hugo Area Business Association (HBA), and Washington County Community Development Agency (CDA) inform this planning process and create strong connections to the City's business owners. This chapter will discuss the City's current business climate, identify strengths and weaknesses, and outline a framework for guiding economic growth. In 2004, the City organized its Economic Development Authority (EDA) into a seven member advisory group including the Mayor and one City Councilmember. As an advisory commission to the City Council, the EDA is responsible for attracting economic growth and development, retaining businesses, and assisting with the expansion of existing businesses within the community. The EDA recommends economic development policies and economic development financing incentives to the Council. The EDA has prepared this long-range strategic plan for economic development for the City. JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS 100 for review only Purpose The purpose of this plan is to expand and enhance the City's commercial and industrial base. An expanded business community will provide an expanded tax base, increased local employment, a greater variety of jobs, goods and services for its citizens. The goal is to establish a healthy, thriving business community that will maintain and enhance the City's high quality of life. Community Feedback The City of Hugo is developing alongside evolving economic markets which are reshaping traditional development models. In its current state, Hugo's growing population and partially developed commercial corridors position the City excellently to welcome new forms of development, which are placing more focus on consumer experience, and creating an attractive business atmosphere. Continuous residential development is increasing demand for services such as restaurants and entertainment venues. Adhering to community feedback and staying up to date on market trends will help the City provide more opportunities to its residents and businesses. Hugo residents have told the City they appreciate the diverse and quality development that has occurred over the last decade, but they would like to see more entertainment venues in the City. With this feedback, Hugo should seek quality development that provides entertainment and restaurant services to the community, in addition to retail, commercial and professional office space. The community has also noticed an abundance of medical services but a lack of pharmaceutical businesses. This is another market the City should encourage. The community has a strong desire to see redevelopment in the downtown along Highway 61, as this was once the commercial hub in the City. The City should encourage redevelopment of the downtown area per the downtown plan and design guidelines.

Their recent Navigating our Competitive Future workshop of the City of Hugo provided insightful feedback regarding future development, including: • Economic development is less about what a community has rather than what it lacks • Hugo has done a great job of not forcing development before the market is ready • Data centers may be an economic development opportunity for the City • Mixed use development, with housing as an integral part, may be a desirable use in the downtown area • Successful communities develop with a clear vision, react appropriately to opportunities, create innovative financial tools and leverage their key assets • It is important to involve the next generation in decision making • Not all communities should look the same, work to preserve Hugo's character • Capitalize on Hugo's assets — "an urban environment in a rural setting." • Hugo should continue to manage its growth in a disciplined way. All good retail is grown "organically" and not forced prematurely. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS 101 Background and Business Climate Downtown Hugo Hugo's business community is historically concentrated in the downtown district. Some of the City's core services and retail are still located in this corridor, despite the loss of many restaurant/ entertainment venues. Hugo's downtown contains approximately 40 businesses and 145,000 square feet of commercial space. A variety of neighborhood convenience and specialty retailers can be found here, as well as a handful of automotive businesses. Most businesses are locally and independently owned and there are very few national chains for franchises. Other community amenities including City Hall, St. John's Church, New Life Church, and Hugo Elementary School also contribute to the function and character of this area. The City's expanding population and economy poise the downtown to develop with a rich variety of entertainment and commercial services that will add vibrancy to the community. Highway 61 A wide range of businesses are located along Highway 61, particularly north of the downtown area. Many businesses along this road operate out of metal pole barns on gravel lots with outdoor storage, and the 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE majority are still using private well and septic systems. Uses along the corridor include automotive, manufacturing, contractor operations, landscaping businesses, auto salvage yards, and recycling. As a whole, these businesses have minimal investments into buildings or site improvements, and many are likely to be redeveloped when municipal services are extended to these areas. Peloquin Industrial Park This industrial park located at Highway 61 and 152nd Street was originally developed on gravel streets and with no municipal services. In 2004, the City constructed paved city streets with drainage improvements and extended municipal sewer and water to the park. Since that time, the City has seen substantial new investment in the industrial park, resulting in the construction of new buildings, site improvements, and new businesses. Uses generally include manufacturing, warehousing, and contracting businesses, some of which are located in metal buildings on gravel lots, and contain minimal site improvements. Bald Eagle Industrial Park The City began developing this industrial park in 1999 with the help of Tax Increment Financing (TIF). Its location along a rail spur beside Highway 61, and between 130th and 140th Streets has allowed the park to become a major success, and the park is now home to the City's largest concentration of jobs. Construction standards DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only have resulted in higher quality concrete buildings, and paved and landscaped sites. The park is home to the City's largest employers, with uses primarily consist of manufacturing, technical, warehousing and construction. There is also a pet resort and a mini -storage located here. County Road 8 Gateway In 2006, improvements were completed on to County Road 8, which resulted in a four -lane divided roadway, including extensive landscaping, street lighting and decorations. The roadway not only improves traffic capacity, it establishes an improved entrance to the City, and new business opportunities. The area near the intersection of CSAH 8 and Victor Hugo Boulevard has been experiencing significant retail development over the past two years. This includes a grocery store, retail shops, several banks, restaurants, medical uses, a gas station, and a day care. The buildings offer a high level of architectural design with quality materials, innovative site planning, landscaping, and attention to detail. In addition to recent improvements of this county road, demand for retail space at this location is mostly due to the recent surge in residential development in Hugo and proximity to Interstate the 35E interchange. The City recognizes this gateway as an opportunity to thread commercial and residential services through to HWY 61, and connect with the downtown corridor. ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS 102 2040 Economic Development Guiding Principles As the City it develops and maintains a desirable business atmosphere, a variety of guiding principles will help the City clearly understand its vision and goals. These include: 1. Promote balanced commercial and industrial development that will better serve the full range of needs of the local residents. Objectives: • Explore the use of TIF (tax increment financing) districts or source other available incentives as need to attract quality businesses and support the City's redevelopment goals. • Maintain and updated inventory of available commercial and industrial buildings and land in the City. • Compile and provide meaningful business resources for the business community. • Develop strong partnerships with the governing bodies, developers, land owners, and the business community. • Create commercial and industrial districts where a variety of operations can expand. • Promote commercial development along Highway 61 and CSAH 8. • Encourage commercial development that supports the small town quality of Hugo. 2. Provide quality development that will insure an expanded tax base and employment opportunities for residents Objectives: • Provide opportunities for local residents to be employed at home or within the community. • Promote local businesses and industry in order to increase the local tax base and increase local employment. • Strengthen commercial and industrial design ordinances to ensure that new development reflects the character of the community. • Promote quality among new businesses. • Maintain competitively low taxes and development fees. • Promote business opportunities through marketing. • Create an environment where people want to live and do business. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS 103 for review only Opportunities and Barriers to Economic Development Since 1999, Hugo has welcomed a variety of new industrial, commercial retail, service and medical businesses to the community. Areas like the Bald Eagle Industrial park have experienced steady development and have brought diverse quality jobs to the City. Today, nearly all the property within the park has been developed, and existing businesses continue to locate and expand. The commercial industry has also found success in Hugo while providing important goods and services to the community. This is due to a number of advantages to locating in Hugo, identified by the business community, which include: • Location and transportation connections, including Highway 61, the BNSF railroad, and the close proximity of I -35E. • Access to major markets and to available infrastructure within the Twin Cities area • Well educated, skilled, and rapidly expanding labor force • Low tax rates • Financial incentives, including Tax Increment Financing • Constructed local infrastructure including roads and utilities • Helpful, effective, and supportive City Council and City staff • Natural resources HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE • Schools • Low crime • Diversity of housing options In 2010, The City completed a Business Retention and Expansion program (BR&E) in partnership with the University of Minnesota Extension Services. The program included business visits that surveyed a variety of retail, service, and industrial businesses in the community. A total of 38 businesses participated in the program. Overall, the survey results indicated that businesses in Hugo are hopeful for the future. The results also identified several reasons for ocating businesses into the City including: • Available land • A rapidly growing population with attractive demographics • Improvements to the CSAH 8 corridor • High quality, well planned, and attractive developments • Lack of other similar businesses within close proximity The City should continue to identify strengths and opportunities in addition to identifying, minimizing and eliminating barriers to new business development. The City should continue this effort by asking existing business owners to identify barriers and opportunities though outreach surveys. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only Attracting Diverse Business Markets So far, the EDA has discouraged the development of typical large, "big box," style retailers, but has encouraged the development of smaller neighborhood style shopping centers. The City's abundant and adaptable range of development opportunities are one of its greatest strengths, therefore the City will target diverse business markets that will allow the City to grow economically and offer a wide range of services to its residents. The EDA has encouraged the City to attract a diversity of businesses that will allow residents to get the services they desire in the community. The EDA has also recommended that the City provide locations for many of the small home based businesses that are located in some areas of rural Hugo. ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS 104 Guiding Land Use for a Diverse Business Market The Land Use Plan Chapter _ identifies locations for future industrial, retail, and office development based on favorable access to transportation, community nodes, utilities, and the workforce. This plan should be used to guide to identify prime opportunities for development while guiding a diverse and sustainable business environment. To accomplish this, the City will prioritize and guide the development of the following land use categories: Mixed Usc Mixed use defines areas of multiple high intensity uses located in close proximity to one another or within a single building. Uses include but are not limited to retail, office, cultural and entertainment while often incorporating elements of housing. This type of land use is key to developing a diverse and attractive business environment, because it provides a vibrant and diverse economic atmosphere that is easy for the public to interact with. Business Parks Business parks are becoming a stronger market as the City's population of business professionals continues to grow. This, in addition to changing retail markets is leading to a higher demand for office, light manufacturing, light industrial and warehouse space. Business parks are large areas of land where these uses are planned HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE in proximity to one another and served by urban utilities. An additional item of consideration is the City's increasing senior population which is resulting in an increased demand for medical development. Identifying specific areas for medical and office development will preserve prime retail space along high traffic corridors and best serve the needs of the community. Guiding the development of business parks will diversify the City's business climate and facilitate growth alongside changing economic markets. Promote Quality Commercial Development The City's growing population will attract new retail and commercial services. With commercial growth on the horizon, the City is in a good position after not forcing development prematurely. As commercial retail competes with online markets, consumer experience is becoming more important — energetic, scaled and approachable commercial corridors are key to attracting and retaining customers. This means guiding development to orient less around automobile accessibility and more around creating welcoming and interactive commercial environments. The City should continue to require compliance with design and place -making standards, and follow its guiding principle of creating places where people want to live and do business. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only Build on Industrial Success Business is strong in the City's Bald Eagle and Peloquin industrial parks. The City should continue to maintain relationships with these businesses and seek opportunities for industrial expansion. Areas like the 165th street industrial corridor should continue to be identified as potential land for future industrial development. The City should assess feasibility of connections to sewer, water and major transportation corridors when selecting areas for new industrial parks. Through this the City can provide more opportunities to attract new industrial businesses and retain existing operations looking to expand. ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS 105 Marketing the City The City should market its strengths and opportunities to desirable businesses through communication and marketing strategies. Simply making the information available to the business community is the first and most important step. The City should prepare annual economic reports of activity within the City, and make them readily available to developers. The City should also continuously update its Economic Development webpage with current and relevant information about activity and incentives and provide helpful community profiles that speak to the development community. Information such as demographic data, community characteristics, and information about the City's workforce, traffic counts, and listings of available land or buildings should be communicated within attractive narratives and graphics. The City of Hugo is commonly described as "an urban environment in a rural setting' which holds many strengths identified by its business community. Branding the City for its strengths, story and success will retain the attention of the development community. The information should be distributed wherever possible, and the City should source creative outlets to market to desirable businesses. The City should continue to cooperate and share information with partners such as the Hugo Area Business Association (HBA), the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce, Washington County Community Development Agency (CDA), and the state Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). The City should continue to work with surrounding communities and with Washington County to encourage the creation of an east metro economic development strategy. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Establish Financial Incentives to Attract New Business Development The City should evaluate all incentives available for use by the City. Policies should be implemented for the use of incentives, including the use of the City's Tax Increment Financing Policy. The City should evaluate other costs associated with the development or operation of businesses within Hugo. Costs should be compared to other cities and the fee structures or other costs should be reformulated where possible to remain competitive.

The important transportation connections and sewer and water improvements that are necessary to accommodate existing and future businesses have been taken into account and are shown in this comprehensive plan. The BNSF rail line serving the Bald Eagle Industrial Park is an important transportation element for existing businesses located there. The rail line should be maintained as long as the businesses rely on it. The City should encourage the eventual conversion of the rail line along TH 61 to a transit corridor that may accommodate both freight and passengers. Provisions for transit will provide businesses with expanded access to the area's workforce. Higher intensity mixed use development and retail development should be encouraged along the transit corridor. The City will cooperate with the Rush Line Corridor Task Force to implement recommended improvements along the corridor. The transportation plan illustrates a future interchange at County Road 4 and 1-35E. The interchange is also identified on MnDOT's HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Inter -Regional Corridor Plan for 1-35. The timing of the construction of this interchange is critical in implementing the plans for business development in northern Hugo. The City should continue to lobby for the accelerated construction of the interchange though the 1-35 W/E Coalition. The City will locate new commercial businesses where municipal utilities are available. Urban services will be made available to the areas guided for business development in accordance with the City's sewer and water plans. The City will strive to ensure that telecommunications needs are met for new or existing businesses. The City will evaluate how fiber optic lines or other telecommunication technology can be extended and used in areas where businesses are located or plan to locate. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS 107 Downtown Redevelopment The City has adopted a redevelopment plan for downtown Hugo. The downtown plan strives to maintain the City's business core in downtown with a traditional downtown urban format. For this to become possible, redevelopment of structures in the downtown area must occur. The City has purchased a number of properties in downtown along the east side of Highway 61. As additional properties become available by willing sellers in this area, the City will pursue purchases of those properties. Most of the structures have been be removed, and the properties will be redeveloped by the City as restaurant/entertainment, retail, and office space. Multiple other property owners in the downtown area have expressed interest in redeveloping their properties in a manner consistent with the downtown plan. In order to facilitate that development, the City has approved a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District to help ensure that development is feasible in the downtown area. As residential growth continues in the City and commercial development takes interest in Hugo, there is heightened opportunity for the City to guide economic growth to this area. The City should market the downtown aggressively, and source programs and incentives that may make redevelopment more feasible. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Gateways The new development along County Road 8 has established a quality atmosphere at the major western entrance to the City. The attractive development there helps create a good first impression and serves to define the image of City. The City will expend extra effort to establish gateways that exude a similar image of quality at all major entrances to the City, including the northern and southern limits of Highway 61, and the western limit of County Road 4. Promote Quality among New Businesses The City has established and implemented Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines for new and existing business development, including architectural guidelines for retail development, standards requiring quality building materials, and guidance for the preparation of site plans that promote good land planning principles. Proper use of guidelines will ensure that the desired businesses locate in the appropriate areas. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only Retain Existing Businesses The City will continue to partner with the Hugo Area Business Association (HBA), White Bear Chamber of Commerce, and Washington County Community Development Agency (CDA), to identify the needs of existing businesses. This partnership should strive to maintain a sound local business climate that encourages businesses to locate and expand in Hugo. The City will establish and maintain mutually beneficial relationships between business owners and members of the organizations by facilitating open communication and regularly checking in with existing businesses. Through this effort these groups will understand the successes and barriers businesses encounter, and better understand the opportunities and constraints to doing business in Hugo. By making site visits initiating conversation, and providing connections to resources such as Washington County's Open to Business Program, the City will be able to recognize common issues, and assist businesses in overcoming barriers to their success. Technical or financial assistance, when warranted, in the interest of maintaining jobs and creating new jobs will be provided. The City will identify successful business retention efforts within other communities and interview any businesses who decide to leave the City to understand their rationale for departing.

The City held an extensive public planning process in 2017. The process included: • Two community needs assessment surveys • A series of open houses and workshops where residents were asked to identify and prioritize parks system needs In the surveys and open houses, residents were asked to provide general feedback on the types of activities they currently engage in, the impact of the parks system on health and well-being, and changes they would like to see in both the parks and trails system. Residents were also asked to provide feedback on more specific amenities and safety features of the parks and trails system such as, the types of amenities that should be prioritized, the most important features of the parks and trails system, priority natural resources and the most urgent needs for the parks system. In 2017, the Comprehensive Plan was updated based on feedback from the public planning process. Residents overwhelmingly identified Hugo's parks, trails and open space as an asset to the community. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only Feedback from residents indicated that : • Facility needs are evolving. Residents indicated that while traditional amenities are valued, they would like to see different types of park amenities such as dog parks and splash pads. A variety of facilities are needed to serve a wide range of ages, abilities, and interests. With a wide range of resident ages, residents indicated a desire to see trails, playgrounds, and sport courts that can be used at any age and for a range of uses. • Natural resources are an important component of the system and may provide opportunities for water recreation and additional trails. Trails are high value amenities of the parks system. In every survey and open house, residents provided feedback trails were highly valued and that they would like to see more trails in the community. • Trails and opens space should be connected to create a linear park. Residents also indicated that trails should connect key areas of the community, including parks and the downtown areas. PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE 110 Parks and Trails Trends In addition to feedback from the Public and the Parks Commission, the planning process is also informed by best practices in the industry for recreation trends, user needs, and accessibility.

The standards that the NRPA has used in the past provides guidance for how to place parks by park type, and the general facilities you might see in each park. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Park and Recreation Trends in Minnesota Since 2008 Minnesota and the Region have seen demographic changes related to age and to ethnicity, and an increasing emphasis on healthy communities. Policies and data from the state, regional, and county levels provide context for trends and are tools that Federal and State Agencies use when reviewing funding requests.

The 2014-2018 SCORP notes a relatively recent decline in support and interest in outdoor recreation. There are several reasons for this including an increasingly urbanized population; young adults and their children are less involved with nature -based recreation than older adults and; nature -based recreation is more popular among white, non -Hispanic populations, which is not growing at the same rate as the non-white population. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE SCORP identifies four strategic directions to address the changing demand for outdoor recreation. They are summarized as follows: 1. Connect people to the outdoors. The report emphasizes creating a welcoming environment through designing high quality facilities and programming that can be used by all ages and abilities, and by creating comprehensive marketing strategies and programming that caters to in -experienced users as well as the seasoned user and partnerships with organizations that serve non-white populations. 2. Acquire Land, Create Opportunities. The strategic direction focuses on acquiring land and developing trails in more densely populated areas and rapidly growing areas and near high quality natural resource areas. 3. Take care of what we have. Reinvest in existing infrastructure and ensure that funding is available to maintain facilities throughout their useful life. Maintain the quality of natural resource areas and restore natural communities that have been degraded or impacted by development activities. 4. Coordinate among partners. Develop and maintain a comprehensive database and web site and facilitate multi - jurisdictional and agency partnerships and funding.

PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE 113 Regional Parks System Visitor Study Report In 2016, the Metropolitan Council administered a survey to regional park and trail visitors to provide benchmark measurement of regiona park and trail visitor experiences in terms of: 1. Reasons for visiting and activity participation 2. Frequency and length of visits 3. Travel distances and modes of transportation 4. Group sizes 5. Quality of facilities, services and recreation opportunities and sense of safety 6. Information behavior The report authors surveyed 5,459 people including 389 people from Washington County. Key findings include: 1. Hiking, walking and biking are the most popular activities. They are also the most commonly mentioned primary reason for visiting a regional park or trail. 2. Visitors are either very loyal to their park or trail, or simply prefer familiar surroundings. 3. Few gathered outside information about their destination prior to visiting. 4. Overall, visitors are satisfied with facilities and feel safe. 5. Age, ethnicity and income have the most noteworthy impacts on usage and experiences. 6. Park users are more likely to come in groups and come from longer distances, whereas trail users are more solitary and live - nearby. 7. Very few were limited by a physical or mental condition. Washington County survey data (Figure 6-1) shows that in addition to hiking, bicycling and jogging, water activities such as swimming and fishing are just as popular. Like the rest of the region, the number one reason people didn't visit parks as often as they would like is that there is not enough time (Figure 6-2). These findings suggest that more people would like to participate in other activities but they feel constrained by time, cost, or lack of facilities. The City can help minimize these constraints by providing adequate facilities in conveniently accessed locations.

The City has made an effort to preserve many of these spaces parks, conservation areas and protected waters. The City manages xx acres of parkland that provides a framework for a city-wide greenway and works with the state, non -profits, and adjacent jurisdictions that operate parks or manage open space within the City. The parks system provides a diverse array of amenities, from natural forests to soccer complexes. Hugo's park system supports a wide array of parks and amenities within those parks. Together with state and county agencies, along with amenities from nearby communities, Hugo residents can participate in outdoor and indoor recreation and enjoy a range of outdoor environments that include urban parks and natural landscapes. This section looks at the existing amenities and resources within the community. 12040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE 116 Parks and Recreation Hugo has approximately 856 acres of city, state, and county owned parkland in the City's boundaries. Within these parks system provides many opportunities for a wide variety of recreation within the City. City Parks The park system plan proposes that the City develop a system of neighborhood and community parks that are integrated with existing park and recreation areas in Hugo. As noted previously, this plan classifies the City's future parks based on function, size, and types of recreational amenities. Parks managed by the City are defined as either a Neighborhood Parks that are smaller in size and serve neighborhoods within the MUSA or a Community Park, which are larger in size and serve the community and region. These classifications are offered to help policy makers understand the roles of parks in a community, and the services provided. If the park system functions to meet the needs of its residents, it is unimportant if the park meets typical acreage and service area standards for community and neighborhood parks. In short, neighborhood parks provide desired recreation facilities that are safely and conveniently accessed by the residents of a neighborhood, and community parks provide recreation facilities that are of interest to the community. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Neighborhood Parks offer neighborhoods easy access to a variety of recreation facilities including play equipment, informal ballfields, athletic fields, court games, and picnic facilities. They typically service an area of roughly one-quarter to one-half mile radius and a population of up to 5,000 people. Physical features like major roads and rivers also define the service areas of neighborhood parks. In Hugo, for example, Highway 61 defines an edge between neighborhoods. Residents should not be expected to cross the highway to get to their neighborhood park. If neighborhood parks are to be used and enjoyed, they must be carefully located for safe and convenient access. Typically, neighborhood parks range in size from 5-20 acres. Community Parks service several neighborhoods or the community as a whole. As such, they provide facilities that will attract people throughout the community. They typically service an area that encompasses a one to two-mile radius and serve a population of 15,000 people or more. Some community parks focus on passive activities like hiking and picnicking. They are often found in areas that offer unique natural amenities such as lakes or woodlands. Other community parks focus on active forms of recreation. They often provide a series of athletic fields for organized sports and tournaments. Community parks attract more people than neighborhood parks so they are generally near arterial or collector roads. Ideally, residents should have the opportunity to access community parks via trails, but most people who use community parks live far enough away from these parks that they will likely drive to them. Thus, these parks need to provide adequate parking and restroom facilities. Typically, community parks range in size from 20 to 100 acres. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE 117 Recreation Facilities Recreation facilities are a type of amenities provided in a park. The concentration and number of recreational amenities characterize the park as either active or passive. Parks can consist of one type of facility that is the programming for the whole park or they can have a combination of active and passive recreation areas. Neighborhood and Community Parks often provide both active and passive recreation amenities, however, in this plan, we identify parks as having primarily active recreation or primarily passive recreation. Active Recreation Area. Active Recreation areas have a more urban character and are highly programmed for activities. Examples of active recreation areas and facilities operated by the City of Hugo include playgrounds, soccer fields and sand volleyball. Active recreation facilities are typically costlier to develop and operate over time. Development of these facilities generally take into consideration the extent of the user base, life cycle management costs and existence of similar facilities in or near the community. • Passive Recreation Areas. Passive Recreation areas have little to no programming beyond picnic shelters, open space, or open rectangular fields for use that is unstructured and informal. Some passive recreation areas provide no more than a trail. Passive or community recreation facilities are usually less expensive to develop and maintain.

HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE 121 The City has four primary trails that serve the residents of Hugo. A description of each trail type follows: Greenways. A greenway provides a travel area separate from motorized traffic for bicyclists, pedestrians, skaters, wheelchair users, joggers, and other users. Greenways can provide a low -stress experience for a variety of users using the network for transportation or recreation. Greenways can be paved or unpaved, depending on the intended user, and typically follows the Greenway Corridor. While Greenways may be along right-of-way in some areas, they are primarily within natural communities or parks. Greenway trails are important connections that create a lineal park. Trails. A trail is a bidirectional shared use path located immediately adjacent and parallel but separate from a street. Trails can offer a high-quality experience for users of all ages and abilities as compared to on -roadway facilities in heavy traffic environments, allow for reduced roadway crossing distances, and maintain rural and small-town community character. provide dedicated space intended for use by pedestrians that is safe, comfortable, and accessible to all. Sidewalks are physically separated from the roadway by a curb or unpaved buffer space. Paved Shoulder are pedestrian areas that are provided on the street or on the shoulder of a road. Designated bike and pedestrian areas are identified using paint, and include facilities such as bike lanes, advisory shoulders, and yield roadways. Many of Hugo's streets and roadways serve a mix pedestrians and bicyclists.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources defines natural communities as "groups of native plants and native animals that interact with each other and with the surrounding nonliving environment, generally in ways not greatly altered by humans or introduced plants or animals". Many of the natural communities that once existed in Hugo have been eliminated, however, the remaining communities are important to the community and region. In 2008, the City identified a Greenway Corridor to help prioritize natural resource protection and land acquisition. This section looks the natural resources that serve as the basis for park and land acquisition. As part of the 2017 update, Hugo reviewed updated the Natural Resource Inventory data from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Greenway Corridor Map. It is the City's policy to acquire land identified on the Natural Resource Map and the Greenway Map through parkland dedication. 12040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE 123 DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Greenway Corridor Greenways are corridors of land and water (and networks of such corridors) designed and managed for multiple purposes such as nature conservation, recreation, stormwater management, community enhancement, social equity, and scenery protection, with an overall aim of sustaining the integrity of the landscape, including the natural and social components. (Cawood Hellmun, 2006). What is it? Natural Resource Priority. To achieve the preservation and recreational goals of the community, the City identified a greenway corridor in 2008 as the foundation of the parks system. The Greenway corridor is based on the natural resource communities identified by the Minnesota DNR and high-value natural communities prioritized by the community. The Greenway was revised in the 2017 in response to current natural resources data. Ownership. A mix of privately and publicly held open space, parkland, and trail corridors make up the greenway. These corridors are created over time in partnership with homeowners' associations, school districts, other public agencies, and more. Land in the greenway corridor receives priority for park and trail acquisition from willing partners. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Where is it? Location. The greenway corridor is generally linear in shape and follow waterways including ditches, creeks, and wetland complexes. Areas that are not buildable can be utilized, such as along ditches and flood plain, not only for their ecological functions but to enhance recreational experiences. Parks and trails located near these areas to take advantage of their aesthetic and expansive view sheds. Urban and Rural. The greenway traverses both rural areas and urban areas. Greenway areas within the Metropolitan Service Area (MUSA) may have more fragmented habitat and natural areas, while Greenway areas outside of the MUSA preserve larger areas of natural habitat. How it is used? Linear Park. Providing an inviting system of trails surrounded by natural environments, greenways offer nature based recreation year-round. They provide a connection to Hugo's unique and scenic resources. Water. One of the primary purposes of the greenway is to protect Hugo's ground water priority areas, wetlands, DNR public waters and watercourses. Greenways filter and store stormwater, improve water quality and provide other functions relating to water. Wildlife Habitat. The vegetated corridors protect habitats, facilitate the movement of animals, provide areas where natural communities can thrive, and buffer shorelines. Large intact blocks of natural resources and open space shall be preserved. Multi-purpose. Land in the greenway may be left as open space or incorporate active or passive park features or trails. It is ideal for greenways to be multi-purpose, such as providing both stormwater management and recreation.

The natural lakes, wetlands, and hills in the area were formed by the glaciers that came through the region during a period roughly 5,000 to 10,000 years ago. As the glacier advanced and receded several times, it deposited sediments of sand, gravel, and rock that eventually produced the rolling hills that are found in eastern Hugo. Most of the natural wetlands and lakes in the area were formed by large blocks of ice that broke from the glacier. These ice blocks were buried by sediment pushed down in subsequent advances of the glacier. As the buried ice blocks slowly melted, the sediment on top of the ice collapsed leaving depressions that filled with water and eventually formed lakes and wetlands. Some soils in Hugo, like the soils in the low lying, nearly level area around Hardwood Creek, Oneka Lake, Egg Lake and Rice Lake, were formed from the outwash of the melting glacier. The soils in the hilly areas of Hugo were formed from the glacial till itself. Over hundreds of years, several different types of plant communities began to develop based in part on these landforms and soils. In the early 1800s, the vegetation in this area consisted primarily of oak barrens, conifer bogs, and a variety of wetlands. Many of the natural communities that once existed in Hugo have been eliminated. However, Hugo still has several significant areas that contain natural communities. Unless measures are taken to protect these areas, many of them may be completely lost or severely degraded. Housing developments, road construction, alteration of drainage systems, chemical runoff, sedimentation, and succession due to the lack of fire, threaten the area's remaining natural communities. Wooded upland communities are particularly threatened because they are more easily developed than wet areas.

Residents indicated parks that are close to home that are accessible by walking or biking were important to them. Natural areas. Natural areas are an important part of the community and residents value them as adding to the rural feel. Trails and parks should be connected and feel like a linked park system. Trails. In survey feedback trail maintenance and development was identified as high-value and of high -importance to the community. Trails are used for many types of activities including walking, hiking, biking, and jogging and in the winter cross-country skiing. The City also has residents that use privately managed snowmobile trails. A limited number of people use trails for horseback riding. Outdoor Activities.

Residents expressed a desire to see constructed HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE and natural water amenities such as a pool, splash pad and outdoor activities such as boating and winter fishing. The themes resulting from resident feedback indicates that policy makers should continue to develop amenities that use the natural features of the region, provide park amenities that are close to home, continue to maintain and develop trails, and to provide active recreation facilities that serve a variety of purposes and ages. In the near term, policy makers should incorporate these recreational amenities into Lions Park and Irish Avenue Park. As such, plans to incorporate those amenities are under discussion by the City at this time.

The park is largely prairie open space with several looped nature trails. The trail surface is grass/dirt/gravel and has limited improvements. Winter use includes cross country skiing. The property is accessible from a parking lot off Irish Avenue. An electric remote -control car track, maintained by volunteers and users, is available for public use near the parking area. Purchasing a large tract of land in eastern Hugo was a long-standing goal of the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Commission. Before the City acquired the property in 2010, it was the location of a controversial gravel pit. Following cleanup of the site, the property was purchased by the City and was immediately made available for public use as a passive park. Prior to the purchase of the property, the future uses of the property as a park were outlined with residents. In the interim, the park is to be used for passive recreation including hiking, allowing off -leash dogs, horseback riding, archery hunting. In the future, facilities would be constructed to provide residents with a large variety of recreation options that include both active and passive recreation options. In a 2017 survey, Hugo residents stated that their top three preferred park amenities for Irish Avenue Park are a pool, playground, and open space. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE hanifl Fields Athletic Park/ Rice Lake Park Hanifl Fields Athletic Park is an active community park that overlooks the passive recreational areas of Rice Lake Park and Paul Hugo Farms State Wildlife Management Area. It is also near Hugo Public Works and the Rice Lake Centre community room. Facilities at the park include up to 5 full sized soccer fields, off-street parking, a large playground structure, and campfire pit. The large park building includes the Hanifl Gathering Room and concession stand which are available to rent. It also has a large outdoor covered pavilion adjacent to the building and playground. It is suitable for large gatherings and special events. A paved path wraps the park property. Rice Lake Park is located 100 yards north of the active areas of Hanifl Fields Athletic Park and Hugo Public Works. The park provides unique opportunities for passive, nature oriented recreation. The parks were formerly developed and used as private gun club prior to being purchased for a future park and Public Works Facility. Development of Hanifl Fields Athletic Park began in 2008 with construction of the soccer fields and parking areas. The shelter and playground were completed in 2010. In the future, the park should be connected by trail to residential and commercial areas in Hugo. A future phase of Hanifl Fields Athletic Park may include an outdoor ice skating rink.

It has a large picnic shelter, tennis/pickleball courts, skate park, playground, ball fields, and grass open space. The picnic shelter and garage is maintained and rented out by the Hugo Lions Club. The park is near Hugo City Hall and the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail. Lions Park was the only public active recreation park in Hugo for many years. There were once lit fields that attracted people from all over the metro to see baseball games in Hugo. Lions Park was home to the first playground in Hugo. The property was once the location of Hugo City Hall and a water tower. Hugo City Hall has since been re -built on property adjacent to Lions Park. A master plan for the park was approved in 2015. Future re- development is to include a large park pavilion with picnic spaces, a warming house/ community room, and restrooms. Park amenities would also include a community sports pad (for tennis, basketball, Pickleball and more) open lawn spaces (for gatherings and sports), an amphitheater, and event plaza/splash pad. The park would also feature landscaped entry plazas at the corners as well as internal and external trails.

The park is currently used primarily for hiking and dog walking and features an un -improved trail that follows Clearwater Creek. The property was acquired in 2004 and has since been expanded with adjacent development. The property has been used for storm water management but also has recreational benefits. The park does not currently have a master plan. The City's general vision has been to continue to offer passive park recreation at the park. Currently, there is an improved access with parking at the south end of the park. Trail connections from additional access points around the park are anticipated. Bernin Property The City of Hugo owns a 24 acre property adjacent to Oneka Lake Park on the south west corner of Oneka Lake, nicknamed the Bernin Property. The Bernin Property is currently not open for public use but will one day be home to a passive park. The The property was acquired in 2002 from the Bernin family, who operated a tree farm on the property. The park does not have a master plan.

PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE 137 DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Parkland Using the standards identified in the 2008 plan and benchmarking metrics from the National Parks and Recreation Association (NPRA), shows that Hugo provides a significant amount of parkland, but that the location of parkland does not necessarily serve residents in future buildout of the City. City Parks According to NRPA standards, there should be one neighborhood park per 5,000 people within 1/2 -'/4 mile of their home, and one community park per 15,000 people within 2 miles of the residents. Hugo today provides more parks per capita than the minimum recommended number of parks for the total population of Hugo, however, the parks are not necessarily located within the recommended service areas. Hugo would need a total of 3.3 neighborhood parks and 1.1 community parks to serve a population of 16,900 (2020 population). If the population grows to 29,000 by 2040, the City will need a total of 5.8 neighborhood parks and 1.9 community parks to meet the minimum NRPA standards for the entire 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE community. The City currently provides and manages 18 parks (13 neighborhood parks and 5 community parks), not including open space and regional parks. While the overall acreage of parkland, exceeds the standards set by the NRPA, not all neighborhoods have neighborhood or community parks within the recommended service areas. As population increases in each neighborhood, the City should acquire parkland in those neighborhoods to serve populations within each neighborhood. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan identified locational criteria and facility needs for Community Parks. Since 2008, the City has acquired land in locations that meet the locational criteria identified in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. A community park at Hanifl Fields with a multi- purpose sports complex was constructed in 2011, the master planning process for Lions Park in downtown has been completed, and the City recently acquired land in Eastern Hugo for Irish Avenue Park. The location of these parks meets the service area needs for the eastern and southern parts of the City. However, the community is still lacking a community park in the northwest corner of the City. Therefore, Map xx — Neighborhood Service Areas, shows a Community Park Search DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only Area in the northwest corner of the City. It is the City's policy that each neighborhood should have parks that serve residents to this standard and that neighborhood and community parks may meet the service area need of the population. Table 6.5 — Parks Servicing Neighborhood Service Areas shows the minimum number of parks needed to serve the population in each neighborhood. As noted previously, the NRPA is moving away from the minimum standards of service, as findings indicate that each City has unique needs. Therefore, if more parkland than the minimum standards is required to serve the population in each neighborhood, the City may acquire land that to meet this need.

Table 6-7 — Description of Major Trails and Greenways provides a description of trails that currently exist in the community. Today, trails owned and maintained by the City are primarily constructed along roadways because trail development along roadways allows for reduced construction costs, land that is more easily acquired due to high availability of sufficient right-of-way and landowner acceptance of trails that are integrated with the roadway system. However, residents have expressed a strong need for a variety of trails that connect parks and natural areas. They want trails where they can walk, hike, cross country ski and ride horses. Trails along roads are not suitable for all trail users, therefore, there is a need for Greenways in the City.

They are the recreational connectors of the neighborhood and can provide opportunities for traveling to school and work. While the culture has moved to cars to provide the primary mode of transportation, trails and sidewalks remain one of the most used parks amenity in communities. People use trails for several purposes. Some use trails primarily for transportation (traveling from a home to a school, park, or place of business). Others use trails for recreation (nature walks, cross- country skiing, and horseback riding). Although a trail can function for transportation and recreation, transportation trails are mostly concerned with getting trail users from one place to another safely and efficiently. As a result, they often follow the road system. Trails used primarily for transportation are identified as "trails" or "paved shoulders" in this Comprehensive Plan. Recreation trails, on the other hand, are mostly concerned with the recreational experience of the user. These trails take advantage of a variety of natural and cultural amenities. For example, they are often found next to creeks, lakes, and woodlands. These trails are identified as "Greenways" in this plan.

Extreme weather events such as ice storms, extreme heat, tornados and floods can have devastating effects on a community. To prepare, the City should evaluate probable outcomes of these events and continually update its emergency operations plan. The City should also ensure critical infrastructure is backed -up where possible and will continue to function in times of need. Guiding principles of the City's approach to disaster preparedness include: • Ensuring swift, immediate response to disasters • Provide fast and effective recovery efforts • Promote measures to minimize or prevent effects of disasters HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Protecting Critical Diversifying the Energy Supply Infrastructure Electricity In addition to the physical damage caused by natural disasters, energy supply is an important concern due to its critical role in urban infrastructures. In the event of a natural disaster or cyber -attack, lack of electricity could jeopardize systems that provide necessary services like water, sewer, food and potentially vital heating or cooling. Hugo is served by two electric providers, Xcel and Connexus, which provide valuable redundancy in the City's energy supply. In the event that standard systems are down, it is important the City is well-trained to respond and has back-up power sources in place. To accomplish this, the City should: • Regularly train City staff, first responders and maintenance crews in disaster preparedness. • Diversify energy supply and backup infrastructure with solar, natural gas and gasoline generators. • Evaluate the feasibility of backing -up critical infrastructure such as wells, pumps and sewer lift stations with alternate power sources such as the City's existing natural gas network. • Designate safe areas where the City's portable generators and emergency supplies will be located to provide continued support to the public. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only Solar Solar energy is an independent form of energy that demands less of natural resources. This form of power can be stored and used in times of need by Hugo residents, businesses and institutions, making it a reliable alternate power source. Solar energy also adds to a community's resiliency by lessening its dependence on fossil fuels and other finite energy sources. The dual benefits of solar energy makes it an important resiliency element, thus the City should promote and reduce barriers to its development through policy and goals: RESILIENCE 152 Solar Access Protection Goals The following are the City's goals for solar access protection: • To ensure reasonable access to direct sunlight is available to all parcels so that alternative forms of energy can be used to supplement or replace conventional forms of energy. • To reduce maintenance and energy costs of public facilities and infrastructure. Policies for Solar Access Protection It is the city's policy to: 1. Ensure existing levels of solar access are maintained in developed neighborhoods. 2. Encourage future site and building plans to maximize efforts to design for efficient use of solar energy 3. Evaluate and use where possible solar energy design elements for future public facilities and infrastructure development. 4. Work with the League of Minnesota Cities, University of Minnesota Extension Services, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Washington County, the Builders Association of the Twin Cities and other agencies to develop programs that increase use of solar energy systems. The City has adopted a solar ordinance to allow solar energy systems on individual homes and solar farms in the Long Term Agricultural (LA), Agricultural (AG), Rural Residential (RR), and Future Urban Service (FUS) Districts. The gross solar generation potential and the gross solar rooftop generation potential are estimates of how much electricity could be generated using existing technology and assumptions on the efficiency of conversion. The Metropolitan Council estimates that the potential for solar in the community is shown in Table 7.1 and the locations where there is the most potential for solar generation is shown in Figure 7-1. Gross Solar Potential is not an indication of suitability for the siting of solar in the community. It only indicates potential.

Ite RESILIENCE 153 Cyber Security With the increasing reliance on computers and wireless services for infrastructure and operational control, there is more risk of the City becoming susceptible to cyber security threats. Hugo will continually evaluate strategies to mitigate cyber security threats and prepare for disaster response. Proactive Planning Cities should remain in -tune with their economic, environmental and regional context through proactive planning. A holistic and forward -thinking approach when managing development, resources, and community connections are important means of enforcing resiliency. A guiding principal of the City as it implements proactive planning is the idea of being able to function independently and sustainably while maintaining strong regional connections. The City of Hugo has become a highly regarded community due to its stewardship of water resources and thoughtful community planning. The City should continue to implement these measures and build on its resiliency. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 RESILIENCE 154 for review only Water Resources Stormwater Stewardship When it rains, stormwater collects on the landscape and recycles back into the water supply. In urban environments this stormwater can have a damaging effect on buildings and roads if it stays on the ground for too long. As a result, storm sewers have played a vital role in the development of cities by directing storm water away from infrastructure and into surrounding waterbodies. This disruption to the hydrologic cycle creates a number of problems for our water supply and the health of the rivers, lakes and streams we rely on. As water issues become more pressing, urban environments have begun to recognize this untapped resource as a solution. The City of Hugo has been at the forefront stormwater reuse in the state of Minnesota by irrigating large portions of the City with stormwater instead of valuable drinking water. This enforces the City's resiliency in three ways: 1. Diversifying the Water Supply - By irrigating large portions within the City with stormwater, Hugo has reduced its costs and demands on the drinking water supply. Stormwater reuse also allows more opportunity for stormwater to seep into the ground and replenish the aquifer — which is important to Hugo because the community often relies on groundwater from wells. As water becomes an increasingly valuable and debated resource throughout the nation, the ability to use alternative water resources will play a crucial role in ensuring the City can supply enough safe drinkable water to the community. 2. Flood Control —As traditional urban environments develop, more roads, buildings and unpaved surfaces will route water into downstream water bodies. Rivers, lakes and streams have a finite capacity and will flood when overwhelmed. The City of Hugo's water reuse efforts capture and utilize millions of gallons of stormwater each year before it reaches downstream water bodies. This frees up capacity in our rivers, lakes and streams and reduces the risk of flooding. 3. Environmental Protection —Infiltration of stormwater into the ground serves two important functions: replenishing groundwater supply and filtering out pollutants. When stormwater does not filter through the ground, it is full of contaminants when it reaches larger water systems. As a result increased levels of phosphates, chlorides and other pollutants are compromising water quality throughout the world. By reusing stormwater instead of discarding it, Hugo's contribution to pollutants entering downstream water bodies is admirably minimal and creates safer and more resilient water resources. Stormwater reuse is one approach to finding innovative solutions to today's problems. Hugo has played a role in shaping the conversation around this practice and should continue to educate and reduce barriers to its implementation. As a resiliency tactic, stormwater reuse proves many benefits and is becoming an increased priority in the City. Hugo should develop policy and incentives for stormwater reuse in new development projects, and continue its efforts to retrofit existing systems. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 RESILIENCE 155 for review only Community and Economic Cohesion The physical structure of a City also influences resiliency. A holistic understanding of a community's character, goals, and regional context will guide strong planning and facilitate cohesion among community and economic realms. Community and economic cohesion occur when a City's residential and business communities have the resources necessary to support each other and succeed. This would not be possible without strong partnerships and thoughtful planning. To accomplish this, the City should incorporate the following into its planning of community and economic growth: • Plan for future transit and multimodal oriented development. • Increase walkability and expand trail connections. • Develop streets with multiple functions and experiential opportunities. • Create desirable spaces through place -making efforts. • Coordinate transportation with regional job clusters. • Establish/encourage design standards that complement the community's character. • Conserve historic and natural resources. • Implement green infrastructure and energy conservation. • Discourage development in hazardous zones. • Brand the community. • Think beyond community boundaries. • Build partnerships. • Do what is feasible and not premature ,HUGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 RESILIENCE 156 for review only ur IN FI —cccc FPL ol a 410011 lzi o I*] m r4o I Its The purpose of this Transportation Plan is to set a multimodal transportation vision for the City of Hugo through the year 2040. The transportation system in Hugo generally operates well today. The City's multimodal transportation system includes facilities for vehicles, freight, walking, bicycling and transit. Facilities are operated by a number of agencies, including the City of Hugo, Washington County, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). As the owners of the transportation network in Hugo (i.e. City of Hugo, Washington County and MnDOT) advance their respective Capital Improvement Programs (CIPs), this Plan is intended to serve as an important resource and reference in establishing priorities and advancing transportation projects for implementation. Advancing these projects from a planning to implementation phase will require collaborative discussions among the City, County, MnDOT, adjacent communities, Metropolitan Council, residents and others to conduct traffic studies, finalize designs, preserve rights-of-way, obtain environmental clearances and leverage necessary financial resources. Effective transportation planning is an important part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Residents must be provided with transportation facilities and services which meet mobility needs in an efficient and safe manner. Transportation facilities, at the same time, need to be planned and constructed so as to limit negative social, environmental, and aesthetic impacts to the greatest degree feasible. In addition, residents who cannot or choose not to drive need to have transportation options to meet their daily needs. This transportation chapter has been prepared in compliance with State of Minnesota Statutes and applicable Metropolitan Council guidelines. As part of this Plan, the City has reviewed existing and future conditions for each mode and identified safety, operations, and network improvements that will be important to address over the 2040 planning horizon. Goals, objectives and specific strategies have been identified collaboratively by the City, Washington County, MnDOT and citizens within the framework of Metropolitan Council requirements. The vision and associated strategies outlined in this Plan were established by considering existing and forecasted conditions, City of Hugo priorities, regional travel patterns and a variety of other factors.

The remainder of this chapter was prepared with the goal of supporting the land -use vision identified and discussed in Chapter x. Other aspects of the planning context are studies that the City has performed such as the Downtown Redevelopment Study, the County Road 8 Corridor Plan, and the TH 61 Corridor Plan. A key aspect of transportation planning is effective coordination between different governmental agencies as transportation authorities In the case of Hugo, this includes the Metropolitan Council, Mn/ DOT, Washington County, and neighboring communities. As part of the process of preparing this transportation chapter, transportation planning documents prepared by other agencies were reviewed and considered. This included the following: I UA 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE • Metropolitan Council 2040 Transportation Policy Plan • MnDOT Statewide Transportation Plan • Washington County Transportation Plan • Anoka County Transportation Plan • Transportation plans of adjacent communities (Lino Lakes, Forest Lake, Grant, and White Bear Township) • TH 61 Corridor Memorandum of Understanding Previous Transportation Plan The previous Hugo Transportation Plan was prepared in 2008. The work included as part of this chapter has used that document as a base. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only TRANSPORTATION 160 Summary of Regional Strategies This plan has been prepared to be consistent with the regional transportation strategies outlined in the Metropolitan Council 2040 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP). The TPP is a regional plan that evaluates the existing transportation system, identifies transportation challenges to the region, and sets regional goals, objectives, and priorities to meet the transportation needs of current residents while accommodating the region's anticipated growth. The TPP also guides local agencies in coordinating land use and transportation and establishes regional performance measures and targets. Funding is a key constraint that is acknowledged in the TPP. Current transportation revenue will not meet the region's transportation needs through 2040. As a result, the TPP includes two long-term investment scenarios: a fiscally -constrained scenario that identifies projects anticipated to be funded based on current revenue projections, and an increased revenue scenario that identifies project priorities should additional transportation funding become available. Under the current fiscally constrained revenue scenario, the TPP is focused on operations and maintenance of the existing transportation system. Investments in highway mobility and access are limited to those projects that address multiple TPP goals and objectives. The increased revenue scenario would allow additional investments in operations and maintenance, as well as regional mobility, access, safety, and bicycle/pedestrian improvements. However, congestion 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE cannot be greatly reduced under even the increased revenue scenario. Under both scenarios, proposed investments are focused on areas of the metro with the greatest existing and future challenges and anticipated growth. Hugo is classified by the Metropolitan Council under the Emerging Suburban Edge and Diversified Rural community designation. Emerging Suburban Edge communities are in the early stages of transitioning into urbanized levels of development. Emerging Suburban Edge communities are expected to plan for forecasted population and household growth at average densities of at least three to five units per acre for new development and redevelopment. They are expected to target opportunities for more intensive development near regional transit investments at densities and in a manner articulated in the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan. Diversified Rural communities include large -lot residential, clustered housing, hobby farms and agricultural uses. They have an anticipated growth not to exceed forecasts and in patterns that do not exceed four units per 40 acres. They are also expected to manage land uses to prevent the premature demand for extension of urban services, and so that existing service levels will meet service needs. The TPP does not include any planned regional transit investments in Hugo. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only The TPP is guided by the following goals: • Transportation system stewardship: Sustainable investments in the transportation system are protected by strategically preserving, maintaining, and operating system assets. • Safety and Security: The regional transportation system is safe and secure for all users. • Access to Destinations: People and businesses prosper by using a reliable, affordable, and efficient multimodal transportation system that connects them to destinations throughout the region and beyond. • Competitive Economy: The regional transportation system supports the economic competitiveness, vitality, and prosperity of the region and State. • Healthy Environment: The regional transportation system advances equity and contributes to communities' livability and sustainability while protecting the natural, cultural, and developed environments. • Leveraging Transportation Investment to Guide Land Use: The region leverages transportation investments to guide land use and development patterns that advance the regional vision of stewardship, prosperity, livability, equity, and sustainability. TRANSPORTATION 161 Existing Roadway System The sections below provide information about the existing roadway system in Hugo, including existing number of lanes, existing roadway jurisdiction, existing functional classification, existing traffic, existing safety, and access management. This chapter also includes summary recommendations from recent plans and corridor studies. The City of Hugo within the regional roadway network is depicted on Figure 8-1. Important regional roadways which pass through or adjacent to the City are: 1-35E and Trunk Highway (TH) 61. Communities which are adjacent to Hugo are: Forest Lake, White Bear Lake, White Bear Township, Lino Lakes, May Township, and Grant. _6 'JP t :L ltla•�.�.ie e f DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only 1 L ILt'GO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 TRANSPORTATION 162 for review only Functional Classification DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only The functional classification system groups roadways into classes based on roadway function and purpose. Functional classification is based on both transportation and land use characteristics, including roadway speeds, access to adjacent land, connection to important land uses, and the length of trips taken on the roadway. Four classes of roadways are included in the seven -county metropolitan area functional classification system: principal arterials, minor arterials, collector streets, and local streets. Figure 8-2 shows the existing functional classification of each road in the City of Hugo. The following sections describe each functional class in greater detail and indicate which roadways fall into each classification. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE L The functional classification system organizes a roadway and street network that distributes traffic from local neighborhood streets to collector roadways, then to minor arterials and ultimately the principal arterial system. Roads are placed into categories based on the degree to which they provide access to adjacent land and mobility for through traffic. Functional classification gives an indication of the relative hierarchy of roadways in the transportation network. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only TRANSPORTATION 163 Principal Arterials Principal arterials are roadways that provide the greatest level of mobility and access control. Within the metropolitan area, the great majority of principal arterials are under MnDOT jurisdiction. Principal arterials are typically Interstate highways or other state or US freeways or expressways. These facilities are intended to serve trips greater than eight miles and express transit trips. Spacing of principal arterials varies within developing areas of the metropolitan area. Typically, these facilities are spaced between two and six miles apart. These facilities connect regional business and commercial concentrations, transportation terminals, and large institutions within the metropolitan area. Principal arterials also connect to other cities, regions, and states outside of the metropolitan area. Principal arterials are intended to maintain average speeds of 40 mph during peak traffic periods. To maintain mobility and speeds on principal arterials, land access and transportation system connections are limited. There is little to no direct land access from principal arterials. Intersections are limited to interstate freeways, other principal arterials, and "A" Minor arterials. Access points are typically grade - separated or controlled with a signal and are spaced one to two miles apart. HUCO2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE One existing principal arterial is located adjacent to the City of Hugo. As part of the interstate highway system, 135E runs adjacent to the west boarder in the City of Lino Lakes, connecting the city to the rest of the metropolitan area, state, and nation. The 2040 Transportation Policy Plan does not propose any additional principal arterials within the City. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only TRANSPORTATION 164 Minor Arterials Minor arterials maintain a focus on mobility, but provide more land access than principal arterials. Minor arterials are intended to serve trips of four to eight miles in length. Within developing areas of the metro, these facilities are spaced between one and two miles apart. Minor arterials connect cities and towns within the region and link to regional business and commercial concentrations. Access points along minor arterials are generally atgrade and typically controlled with signals or stop signs. During peak traffic, minor arterials in developing areas are intended to maintain 30 mph average speeds. As a result, transportation system connections are limited to interstate freeways, other principal arterials, other minor arterials, collectors, and some local streets. Land access is limited to concentrations of commercial and industrial land uses. The Metropolitan Council has established a system of "A" Minor and "Other" arterials. "A" Minor arterials are eligible for federal funding administered by the Metropolitan Council. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE The Metropolitan Council has further split "A" Minor arterials into four types, described below: DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only • Relievers: Arterials located parallel to congested principal arterials. The purpose of "A" Minor Relievers is to provide additional capacity in congested corridors. • Augmenters: Arterials that supplement the principal arterials system within urban centers and urban communities. • Expanders: Arterials that supplement principal arterials in less -densely developed areas of the metro area. • Connectors: Arterials that provide connections between rural towns and connect rural areas with the principal arterial system.

These roadways connect major traffic generators in the region. "Other" Arterials are not eligible for federal funding. Currently there are no "Other" Arterials within Hugo. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only TRANSPORTATION 165 Collectors Major and minor collector roadways provide linkages to larger developments and community amenities. They generally do not link communities to one another. Collector roadways generally favor access to the system over mobility, but try to balance the two competing needs. These roadways are generally lower speed than the principal or minor arterial routes. They are usually owned and operated by cities, although counties operate some of these facilities. Within the City of Mahtomedi, one major collector roadway is owned and operated by the City of Hugo. Collectors are intended to serve trips of one to four miles in length. Collectors link minor arterials, other collectors, and local streets. DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Major collectors typically serve higher density residential areas and concentrations of commercial and industrial land uses. These facilities tend to serve longer trips than minor collectors. Minor collectors serve fewer trips than major collectors and typically link lower density residential and commercial land uses. The Major and Minor collectors within the City of Hugo are summarized in Table 8-2.

Local roadways are all roadways that are not arterials or collectors. Local roadways connect individual land parcels with other local roadways and collectors. Trips on local roadways are typically less than two miles and speeds are typically low. Local roadways are under the jurisdiction of the City of Hugo. Planned Functional Classification Several functional classification changes are recommended in response to changes in traffic patterns, development patterns, and increased population and employment in the City.

Figure 8-4 provides a map depicting the jurisdictional classification of the overall roadway network serving Hugo and its residents and businesses. HLU0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Municipal State Aid Streets Cities in Minnesota with populations greater than 5,000 are eligible to receive Municipal State Aid (MSA) funding from the state Highway User Tax Distribution Fund. The basic purpose of this program is to help local governments construct and maintain collector and arterial roadways which have consistent design standards and which are well integrated into the overall network of collector and arterial roadways. The State Aid system typically consists of a maximum of 20% of the City's roadway mileage. The State Aid office of MnDOT has established clearly defined design requirements for MSA streets. These requirements ensure that capacity, operational, and safety goals are met in a uniform manner from community to community, and that street systems are well coordinated with each other. Based on State Statute, Sections 169.80 and 169.87, MnDOT does not allow cities to restrict truck traffic on MSA streets.

Existing Roadway Capacity A roadway's capacity indicates how many vehicles may use a roadway before it experiences congestion. Capacity is largely dependent upon the number of lanes. Table 8-4 below lists planning -level thresholds that indicate a roadway's capacity. Additional variation (more or less capacity) on an individual segment is influenced by a number of factors including: amount of access, type of access, peak hour percent of traffic, directional split of traffic, truck percent, opportunities to pass, and amount of turning traffic, the availability of dedicated turn lanes, parking availability, intersection spacing, signal timing and a variety of other factors.

This includes 1-35E and TH 61. Current traffic volume on TH 61 ranges from 9,000 north of 1701h Street (CR4/CSAH 4) to 10,300 between 170th Street (CR4/CSAH 4) and Frenchman Road (CSAH 8) to 13,700 south of Frenchman Road (CSAH 8). With the number of access locations, together with the traffic volume levels, this roadway is approaching the need for expansion to a four -lane facility. In addition to the mainline congestion, queuing at existing signalized and un -signalized intersections provides a source of localized congestion on the City street system. Specific intersections along TH 61 that have been identified as having either existing issues or where potential issues are anticipated include: • 1451"/1461" Street • 152nd Street • 165th Street RX30 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE North/South — EastMest Collector Street Network Currently, there is not an adequate system of north/south or east/west collector streets to support the arterial street network. Specifically, this system is needed in the developing area between 1-35E and just east of TH 61 within the 2040 urban service boundary. A fragmented street network is in place that can be completed to provide this roadway network. These roadways include: • Elmcrest Avenue (shared roadway with Lino Lakes) • Oneka Parkway/Everton Avenue • Fenway Boulevard • Goodview Avenue • 159th Street/Heritage Parkway • 147th Street • 140th Street • 125th Street The completion of this collector street network would provide relief to the local street network, provide additional options for motorists, and minimize cut -through traffic on local streets. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only TH 61 Corridor Planning The City, Washington County (Transportation and Regional Rail Authority), and MnDOT have developed a corridor plan for Highway 61 within the City limits. The corridor plan includes a multi -modal cross section to accommodate an expanded roadway, pedestrian/ bicycle trail, and transit. The plan includes a preliminary cross section, alignment, right-of-way needs, access management, and potential traffic signal locations. The City, County, and Mn/DOT have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) identifying access locations and plan details for the corridor. TRANSPORTATION 175 CR 41CSAH 4 Corridor Planning MOOT, Anoka County, and Washington County long-term plans include an interchange to be located at County Road 4 and 1-35E to replace the current overpass. This has shaped the City's vision for the northern portion of the City located along the corridor from a land -use perspective. It will be important that the City develop a long- range corridor plan for CR 4/CSAH 4 to include right-of-way, roadway section, and access management considerations. JRX30 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Elmcrest Avenue Elmcrest Avenue is a shared roadway with the City of Lino Lakes. The roadway continues to the north of the City to Highway 97 within Forest Lake/Columbus. With a minor realignment to the north of County Road 14 (Anoka County), the roadway could serve as a connection between Ramsey County Road J in White Bear Township and Highway 97. A plan for this roadway, including right-of-way, cross-section, alignment, and jurisdictional considerations should be developed between Washington and Anoka County, along with Lino Lakes, Forest Lake, Columbus, and White Bear Township.

Management consists of carefully controlling the spacing and design of public street intersections and private access points to the public roadway system. Arterials, being designed for higher speed, longer distance trips, generally have reduced or restricted access, while local streets can accommodate much greater access. Collector roadways fall in between arterials and local roadways regarding the amount of access that is permitted. 3 The agency with jurisdiction over a roadway sets access management guidelines. Access to TH 61 must meet MnDOT access management guidelines and is permitted subject to conditions. The City worked with MnDOT and Washington County to establish a Category 7, Specific Area Access Management Plan for the TH 61 corridor within the City. Table 8-6 shows the MnDOTAccess Management Guidelines tables. Based on existing development conditions, additional direct access to TH 61 is generally discouraged.

Washington County access management guidelines are displayed in Table 8-7. Washington County requires permits for new driveway access to county roads and when land uses change at a site adjacent to a county road. Washington County typically requires that new access points meet its guidelines; however, the county can make exceptions to the guidelines with sufficient justification. The City of Hugo does not have access management guidelines for City streets. The City evaluates new and modified accesses to its City streets through a permitting process on a case-by-case basis. It should be noted that there are existing access points that do not meet County and MnDOT access spacing guidelines. In many cases these access points were established prior to agency access spacing guidelines. In other cases, the agency has granted an exception to the existing guidelines. As roadways are reconstructed, each of these agencies generally works to modify and/or relocate access points that do not meet current access spacing guidelines.

Roadway Capacity - Traffic Forecasting To determine future roadway capacity needs, year 2040 traffic forecasts were prepared using the Metropolitan Council travel demand model. The model was refined for application specifically for the City of Hugo. The 2040 projections were compared against the assumed 2040 roadway network to see where roadway segment capacity deficiencies may result. The 2040 roadway network assumed for this analysis is the same as the current roadway network, as the City and County Capital Improvement Programs (CIPs) do not include any projects that add significant capacity to the roadway network. While the travel demand model is a valuable tool for identifying future traffic based on the proposed land use impacts, it is not meant for use in detailed traffic operations studies. For a more accurate representation of the transportation impacts from specific developments, detailed traffic studies should be conducted to determine the operational impacts on adjacent roadways and intersections.

Some situations may require additional analysis due to unusual or unforeseen conditions, but established baseline standards will minimize design uncertainties in most circumstances. This is not a purely technical issue, and individual communities may have different preferences for design standards. Table 8-12 represents recommended typical roadway cross-sections based upon each functional class. This table represents a range of traffic levels for each roadway functional class and the corresponding design requirements. Right of way standards for the various roadway categories are also presented in Table 8-12.

DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only TRANSPORTATION 188 Traffic Calming Traffic calming is an approach which is generally used to accomplish one or more of the following primary objectives: • Reduce speeds on local streets. • Reduce cut -through (non -local) traffic levels on local streets. • Improve safety and usability for non -motorized traffic. Under certain circumstances, traffic calming can be used on collector level roadways to reduce speeds, primarily at intersections. However, the focus is on "returning neighborhood streets to the neighborhood." Traffic calming measures are best evaluated and implemented within the context of the overall transportation network serving the City; it is never advisable to simply shift a problem from one street or area to another. Since so much of Hugo is rural in nature, traffic calming may not have the same application as in more typical urban settings. However, the types of measures identified below should be kept in mind as possible "tools in the toolbox:" 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE • Traffic circles/roundabouts • Lateral lane shifts — roadway striping • Curb extensions/neckdowns at intersections • Speed humps/tables • Raised crosswalks • Diverters — close access to street • Diver feedback signs It has been suggested that narrowed streets reduce speeds. However, empirical data on this is not conclusive. Traffic calming measures should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, but should be evaluated within the context of the overall street network and from the perspective broad based policy objectives. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Complete Streets "Complete streets" is the planning, scoping, design, implementation, operation, and maintenance of roads in order to reasonably address the safety and accessibility needs of users of all ages and abilities. Complete streets considers the needs of motorists, pedestrians, transit users and vehicles, bicyclists, and commercial and emergency vehicles moving along and across roads, intersections, and crossings in a manner that is sensitive to the local context and recognizes that the needs vary in urban, suburban, and rural settings (MINN. STAT. 174.75, Subd. 1.). Complete streets is a process for developing a transportation network that best accommodates all modes of transportation. Planners and designers must systematically consider all modes when developing their long-range plans and short-term maintenance and construction projects. The City of Hugo supports considering implementing a complete streets process in roadway reconstruction projects where appropriate and feasible. TRANSPORTATION 189 Transportation Demand Management The primary emphasis of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is to reduce the number of vehicular trips on congested roadways during peak travel times. Since many, or most of these trips are commuter (work) trips, TDM strategies primarily involve the workplace context and associated travel behavior. The primary methods or strategies are identified below: • transit • car/van-pooling • telecommuting • flex -time • non -motorized commuting HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE In general, the policies or incentives to promote TDM activities are provided through employers. For example, employers can provide monthly discounts or passes to employees to use transit. They can provide coordination services to match up individuals for car/ van pooling activities. They can allow or promote telecommuting, particularly in various industries for which face-to-face contact is not important for task performance. Similarly, employers can allow or promote flex time, which enables employees to travel to/from work at non -peak travel times. Regarding non -motorized commuting, the provision of shower and changing facilities is often helpful to promote bicycle commuting. There are a number of reasons for employers to promote TDM activities. In some cases, vehicle parking is at a premium and anything they can do to reduce parking requirements is beneficial. Another example may be a large employer or group of employers accessed by congested road systems. If these employers can reduce rush hour trips into their facilities and associated congestion, it benefits their workers and makes their places of business more attractive places to work. Some employers wish to reduce vehicle trips to their facilities simply because it is "the right thing to do" for environmental reasons. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Cities can increase TDM activities through promotional activities and by coordinating with key employers to identify and implement TDM plans. Cities may require TDM plans for new developments if they are large enough to have significant traffic impacts. For example, the City of Minneapolis actively uses this approach. Cities can also form or coordinate the formation of Transportation Management Organizations (TMOs). These organizations pool resources and strategies to get the biggest "bang for the buck" for reducing traffic levels in a given area. The City of Hugo is a member of the 1-35W/E Commission which is a TMO that has strived to limit single occupancy vehicle trips on 1-35E. It is difficult to project the quantitative benefits of Transportation Demand Management activities with confidence. However, as fuel prices increase and congestion on major roadways in the metro region increase into the future, the demand for and potential of this approach will increase accordingly. TRANSPORTATION 190 Existing and Planned Non - Motorized Transportation Network This section addresses network needs for walking and bicycling within the City of Hugo. This section also addresses the needs of people using wheelchairs and assistive mobility devices such as mobility scooters, as they are considered pedestrians. Enhancing the non -motorized elements of Hugo's transportation system is a key goal in terms of improving transportation sustainability in the City and in the region. This approach gives residents an alternative to driving, supports transportation options for people who do not have consistent access to a personal vehicle, and encourages healthy activities and lifestyles. This section includes information on the existing non -motorized transportation network within Hugo, connections to land use planning, the planned local non -motorized transportation network, and the planned regional non -motorized transportation network. This section also includes recommendations for intersection improvements and design best practices. i-ILILt-T'GO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only TRANSPORTATION 191 Existing and Planned Non -Motorized Transportation Network The existing non -motorized transportation system consists of sidewalks, multi -use paved trails, bike lanes, and paved shoulders. Most local residential streets do not include separate sidewalk or trail facilities. However, sidewalk and trail facilities are along several streets that connect multiple neighborhoods. Other roads with multiuse local and regional trail and bike lane facilities connect the commercial and employment areas. Existing and proposed trails are illustrated in Figure 6-x in Chapter 6. Several connections are proposed to complete connections between neighborhoods and commercial/ employment areas. The existing and proposed network of sidewalks and pathways serving the City of Hugo is discussed in Chapter 6 of this comprehensive plan HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Connections to Land Use Planning The City of Hugo has development patterns consistent with its designation as a Suburban community. Existing residential development is low density and commercial land uses are separated from residential land uses. This means that people walking and bicycling must cover greater distances to reach commercial areas from their homes. The City's land use planning and coordination with roadway improvement projects and redevelopment opportunities can help improve walking and bicycling for transportation. Additionally, the City can require pedestrian and bicycle connections in areas where the roadway network does not connect, such as greenway trails with developments that provide access for people walking and bicycling. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Planned Regional Non -Motorized Transportation Network The Metropolitan Council established a Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN) in 2015. The RBTN establishes regional priorities for bicycle transportation so that regional destinations are accessible by bicycle. The Metropolitan Council established RBTN alignments in areas where existing facilities created a clear connection between regional destinations. RBTN corridors were identified in areas where there are several options for connections between regional destinations. The RBTN is further divided into two tiers. Tier 1 alignments/corridors are expected to attract the most bicycle use and are the highest priority for regional investments. Tier 2 alignments/corridors are the second priority for regional investments. Within the City of Hugo, the RBTN identifies two Tier 2 RBTN corridors. One corridor generally follows the Frenchman Road (CSAH 8) corridor. The other generally follows the TH 61 corridor. Both are included as part of the Hugo sidewalk and trail network. TRANSPORTATION 192 Intersection Improvements for Bicycling and Walking Major roadways are often serve as barriers for people walking and bicycling, with limited crossing opportunities and increased traffic and safety concerns. Crossing TH 61 and Frenchman Road (CSAH 8) can be challenging for pedestrians and bicyclists due to lengthy crossing distances, long signal cycles that result in extended waits to cross, and the lack of sidewalk or trail on both sides of the roadways. The City should work with MnDOT, and Washington County to explore opportunities to improve intersection crossing opportunities for pedestrians and bicyclists along these key roadways. DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only 'Lt -TG 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 TRANSPORTATION 193 for review only Non -Motorized Transportation Design Considerations Design dimensions for sidewalks are recommended to be five -feet or wider, with a minimum of a four -foot wide boulevard between the sidewalk and the curb. Increased separation improves pedestrian comfort and provides space for street signs and snow storage. Several types of bicycle facilities exist within the metropolitan area, with each having its own benefits and limitations depending on the surrounding environment and intended audience. Bicycle facilities include: off-street facilities, protected bikeways, buffered bicycle lanes, conventional bicycle lanes, bicycle boulevards, and wide paved shoulders. Multi -use trails are recommended to be a minimum of eight -feet wide. Regional trails are recommended to be a minimum of ten -feet wide due to higher use and the design requirements to comply with federal funding. Trails must have a two -foot wide clear zone on either side to reduce hazards for bicyclists and provide a recovery zone if a bicyclist leaves the edge of the trail. The clear zone can be paved or turf surface. No signs, furnishings, trees, or other obstructions can be in the clear zone. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Paved shoulders should be a minimum of four -feet wide if intended for bicycle and pedestrian use. Four -foot wide shoulders are adequate on streets with traffic volumes below 1,000 vehicles per day. Six- to eight -foot shoulders are recommended when traffic volumes exceed 1,000 vehicles per day. A wider shoulder improves pedestrian and bicyclist safety and comfort when vehicle traffic speeds and volumes are higher. As non -motorized facilities are planned and designed, the City should consult additional planning and design resources, including: • MnDOT Bikeway Facility Design Manual • Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices • MnDOT Complete Streets Implementation Resource Guide • Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities — American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials • Guide for the Planning, Design, and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities — American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials • Public Rights of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) — US Access Board DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Accessibility is a very important consideration for non -motorized design. All new pedestrian and bicycle facilities must meet the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessibility guidelines established in PROWAG. The guidelines in PROWAG address the design needs of people with physical and/or visual impairments. Accessibility will become increasingly important over the next 20 years due to demographic changes. Baby boomers are aging and the population over age 65 is increasing. People over 65 are more likely to have physical and/or visual impairments that affect their ability to get around. To address accessibility issues, it is recommended that the City develop an ADA transition plan to bring sidewalks, trails, and intersections into compliance with ADA. TRANSPORTATION 194 Freight Freight transportation in the City of Hugo is served predominantly by the adjacent Principal Arterial highways, 1-35E west of the City and TH 61 through the City. There is one active Class III railroad line in the City of Hugo operated by Minnesota Commercial that runs parallel to TH 61, ending at 140th Street North. In addition, there is an active Canadian Pacific/Soo railroad line running south and east of the City in the City of Grant and May Township. There are no large freight traffic generators within the city as identified by the Metropolitan Council. Freight generators within the city include a concentration of industrial and commercial land uses adjacent to Frenchman Road (CSAH 8) and TH 61.. The Metropolitan Council's Regional Truck Highway Corridor Study (completed in 2017) identified 1-35E as a Tier 1 regional key truck corridor and TH 61 as a Tier 3 regional key truck corridor. As defined in the Regional Truck Highway Corridor Study, the interstate system serves as the freight backbone, and other tiered roadways provide redundancy to the interstate system, as well as provide door-to-door access to manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, intermodal freight hubs, and ultimately, retailers and customers. z� 12040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Figure 8-8 shows Heavy Commercial Average Annual Daily Traffic (HCAADT) within Hugo on the Principal Arterial and "A" Minor Arterial system. Within the City, the largest amount of heavy commercial vehicles travels on Frenchman Road (CSAH 8) between 1-35E and TH 61 (750 trucks per day) and on TH 61, between Frenchman Road (CSAH 8) to 170th Street (CSAH 4) (550 trucks per day). The 2040 TPP acknowledges several freight challenges that impact the City and the region. Freight traffic and congestion are expected to increase and place pressure on the region's highway and rail systems. Additionally, there are concerns about compatibility between freight traffic and adjacent land use. While the City's industrial and commercial areas are located adjacent to the primary freight corridors, it will be important to ensure that future development is also compatible with freight operations.

Due to the costs involved, LRT corridors generally need to be on a regional scale to justify the necessary investments. Therefore, the planning and implementation of LRT systems are primarily the responsibility of the Metropolitan Council and the metro -area counties. Because of their size, the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul have also been very involved in the planning process for certain corridors. 6UX 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE - -- The TPP's transit investment plan does not show any transitway investments planned for the City of Hugo in the current revenue scenario. The transitway corridor which has the most relevance for City of Hugo is the Rush Line Corridor. This corridor would connect downtown St. Paul to Hinckley. The lead agency performing the planning for this project is the Rush Line Corridor Task Force. A locally preferred alternative or "LPA" for bus rapid transit, also called «BRT», within a dedicated guideway from Union Depot in downtown Saint Paul to downtown White Bear Lake generally along Robert Street, Phalen Boulevard, Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority right- of-way and Trunk Highway 61 was selected in 2017. The guideway will be co -located with the Bruce Vento Trail through the portion of the route that utilizes the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority right-of-way. The project also includes further exploration of a connector bus service with feeder bus service along TH 61 to Forest Lake through the City of Hugo. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only TRANSPORTATION 198 Aviation Plan Hugo is categorized as "other air space" by the Aviation Air Space Policy Area. Policies on the protection of the community's air space are not applicable. There are currently no existing or planned aviation facilities within the City of Hugo. However, the City is responsible for airspace protection in order to reduce hazards to air travel within the region. The closest airports to Hugo are: • Forest Lake Airport, approximately 2 miles north of Hugo • Surf -Side Seaplane Base, approximately 5 miles west of Hugo • Lake Elmo Airport, approximately 11 miles southeast of Hugo • Anoka County — Blaine Airport, approximately 9 miles west of Hugo • Benson Airport — White Bear Township, approximately '/z miles south of Hugo Given the distance to the nearest airports, there are no radio beacons or other air navigation aids located in off -airport locations in Hugo. The City has no existing structures of 200 feet or more in height and has no plans to permit such structures in the future. Any person or organization who intends to sponsor the construction or alteration of a structure affecting navigable airspace as defined in Federal Regulation Title 14; Part 77 needs to inform the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) of the project. This notification is accomplished through the completion and submittal to FAA of Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. In Hugo, this requirement applies to any construction or '�� - -- 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE alteration exceeding 200 feet above ground level. The City's zoning code allows a maximum structure height of 75 feet; therefore, it is unlikely that any structures in the City will require FAA notification. Hugo is located outside the critical and protection air space areas as well as airport search areas. Issues related to aircraft noise are, therefore, not applicable to the City. However, the City will encourage, as necessary, compliance with FAA and Metropolitan Council requirements concerning visual and/or electronic interference with airport communications, air traffic operations, and other aviation land - use capability guidelines. Seaplane operations are permitted on Oneka Lake and on Bald Eagle Lake. Heliports No helicopter landing facilities currently exist or are planned in Hugo. If a heliport facility is proposed in the City, the City will utilize the Metropolitan Council's model heliport ordinance to assist in responding to heliport proposals and to provide a basis for appropriate land -use controls.

The City anticipates growth to continue. To accommodate the projected population, the City initiated an update to its Comprehensive Water Supply Plan in accordance with Minnesota Statute 473.513. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Metropolitan Council (MCES) have worked together to develop a set of guidelines for all cities within the Seven -County Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. These guidelines are divided into four parts. The first three parts, Water Supply System Description and Evaluation, Emergency Response Procedures, and Water Conservation Plan, apply statewide. The fourth part relates to Comprehensive Plan requirements that apply only to communities in the Seven -County Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The information contained in this report follows the DNR Water Supply Plan template, and general introductory paragraphs are often direct citations from that template. DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only 0 It is the policy of the City of Hugo to provide the following to all customers receiving water from the City's water distribution system: Water Quality: Provide the highest quality potable water to meet the domestic needs of the community. • Water System: Provide a distribution system which provides adequate pressure for domestic uses and for fire protection, and extend the mains and hydrants for future developments consistent with provisions of the Comprehensive plan. Conservation: Promote conservation in using the City's water to achieve system efficiency and to reduce costs. The purpose of this study is to provide the City with an updated plan to serve future development and to identify existing system facilities and deficiencies. In addition, a number of conservation and emergency response procedures will be identified as part of this comprehensive plan, particularly as they relate to the North & East Metro Groundwater Management Area (NE GWMA). I 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Scope This study incorporates the population projections from the Metropolitan Council's Local Planning Handbook to project water system demands within the 2040 MUSA boundary line. The potential 2040 service area was defined as areas that can be feasibly served by the City's water supply system in the future and was based on the current Land Use Plan prepared for the City's 2018 Comprehensive Plan. The 2040 service area for the City is considered to be the full build -out of the proposed 2040 urban service area, generally defined as the western half of the community. Based on the 2040 service area, a trunk water main system, including storage and well supply capacities, was defined. The future water service demands beyond 2040 for the eastern portion of the City were also estimated. Existing and future water demands were calculated for the City based on the historical data and population projections. Projected water system demands were used to analyze the existing trunk system capacity and size future trunk system facilities. Future trunk improvements were defined with the intention that the trunk system would serve the 2040 service area, as well as the eastern portion of the City outside the 2040 MUSA boundary. An approximate layout of potential 2040 trunk system improvements is provided. Future improvements were prioritized and incorporated into a Capital Improvement Program (CIP). DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Data Available In preparing this report, the following sources of information were utilized: • MCES System Statement for the City of Hugo • Water Supply Plan for the City of Hugo prepared by WSB & Associates, Inc. and submitted to the DNR on December 22, 2016 • Existing Water System GIS Information prepared by WSB & Associates, Inc. • Watermain As-Builts provided by the City of Hugo General Contact Information The City of Hugo water supply system has a DNR Water Appropriation Permit Number 1975-6218.

COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 205 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Existing Water Supply System The first step in any water supply analysis is to assess the current status of demand and supplies and the existing water system infrastructure. Information in this section, including the water system capital improvement plan, was used in the development of the Emergency Response Procedures and Conservation Plans in the subsequent sections. 'IL 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 206 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Analysis of Existing Water Demand Table 9-1 presents the actual water demand for the past ten years. The City of Hugo itemizes the water demand by customer category including residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional water sales. The City currently does not sell water on a wholesale basis. Factors that influence trends in water demand include growth, weather, industry, and conservation efforts. The population served by the City of Hugo's water system has doubled since 2005 . Total water demand has fluctuated over the last ten years and shows no clear trend over that time. Per capita water demand has also fluctuated and shows a slight declining trend over the long term. Fluctuation in water demand is likely attributable to fluctuations in climate from year to year. The slight decreasing trend in per capita demand is likely due to conservation efforts and changing attitudes towards water use. Currently, the City of Hugo does not have large water users that utilize over 5% of the City's total water usage. Table 9-2 summarizes the City's largest water utility users.

The total capacity of the five existing wells is 5,825 gallons per minute. However, Ten State Standards require that the maximum day demand be satisfied with the largest pump out of service (firm capacity). Therefore, with Well No. 6 out of service, the firm capacity for the City's existing water system is 4,225 gallons per minute. This firm capacity is adequate for the existing maximum day demand of approximately 3,420 gpm. Table 9-3 summarizes the City's current groundwater sources.

Each interconnection has a capacity of 5,000 gallons per minute or 7.2 million gallons per day. The City has and will continue to explore additional interconnections with neighboring communities. In the short term, this includes Lino Lakes and White Bear Township. In the medium term, Forest Lake, and in the long term, Grant and May Township. The Metropolitan Council recently completed a study which included analysis demonstrating that the City of Hugo can connect to five neighboring water systems. These existing and potential interconnections not only serve as a water source in the event of an emergency, but also create capacity for the sale and purchase of water supply between communities should the need arise in the future. Computer Model A computer model of the City of Hugo's water system was prepared to reflect the existing and 2040 water demands and network configurations. The model was used to evaluate the capacity of the existing system and to verify the improvements that will need to be made through the year 2040. HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE a - System Pressures and Velocities The Ten State Standards for water distribution system design recommend working pressures of 60 to 80 psi, with a minimum normal working pressure of 35 psi and a minimum at all times at all ground level points of 20 psi. A design target of 50 to 70 psi for working pressures is often used as well. The Minnesota Department of Health requires a minimum pressure of 20 psi during any fire or other emergency water use. Pressures above 100 psi are not recommended. The City of Hugo's water distribution network has two pressure zones, south and north. A map of the existing steady state system pressures calculated by the model, with the tower levels set to the lowest level seen during maximum day demand, is shown in Map 9-2. • The overflow elevation of the south Tower 2 is 1,055.5 feet. Ground elevations within this pressure zone vary between 906 to 950 feet. Therefore, static pressures at ground elevations in this zone when Tower 2 is full vary from 46 to 65 psi. • The overflow elevation of the north Tower 3 is 1,084.0 feet. Ground elevations within this pressure zone vary between 906 to 962 feet. Therefore, static pressures at ground elevations in this zone when Tower 3 is full vary from 53 to 77 psi. DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only It is recommended that velocities in long watermain segments be less than five feet per second (fps) to avoid excessive energy loss and pressure reduction. Under maximum day demand, none of the pipes in the model indicate velocities greater than 5 fps. The greatest calculated velocities, from 3-5 fps, occur primarily in the watermain connecting the production wells and water towers to the network. Fire Flow Capacities The Insurance Services Office (ISO) provides fire flow requirements for individual structures within a community. These requirements, which specify both the quantity and duration of fire flows, are typically focused on large commercial, industrial, and public buildings. The fire flows required for these structures usually fall between 2,500-3,500 gpm. A map of the existing available fire flows throughout Hugo's water distribution system, with the tower levels set to the lowest level seen during maximum day demand, is shown in Map 9-3. The areas that exhibit lower available fire flows in the model are the low density residential areas in the east -central part of the system near Goodview Avenue North; the available flows still satisfy ISO requirements for low density residential development. COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 211 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Demand Projections Table 9-4 summarizes the projected population served by the City's water supply system through the year 2040, including the projected total per capita demand, the average day demand, and the maximum day demand each year. It should be noted that the average and maximum projected water demand is the projected water pumped and therefore includes unaccounted water. Projections made are per the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update and the following assumptions: • Population projections were based on the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan, and are greater than the Metropolitan Council's 2040 projections. • Average day demands were calculated by multiplying the projected population served by the average total per capita water demand from 2012-2016. A total demand of 93 GPCD was assumed for 2017 through 2040, which includes approximately 2.7% unaccounted water. • The average peaking factor for average day demand to maximum day demand for the past five years is 3.43. This peaking factor was assumed for the year 2017 and then decreased linearly to reach the goal of 2.6 by the year 2030. A peaking factor of 2.6 was applied from 2030 to 2040.

The City of Hugo has kept well monitoring records in accordance with the resource sustainability requirements of the Department of Natural Resources. Records of water levels are maintained for all production wells and water level readings are taken continuously through a SCADA system. All wells in the City of Hugo utilize the Jordan Aquifer source water. The water levels of Well Nos. 3, 4, 5, and 6 have maintained a constant level and Well No. 2 has a rising level trend, given the monitoring information provided from 2015. The data indicates the aquifer is a sustaining water supply. The static water leve data is included in Appendix 9-3, and the monitoring procedures are summarized in Table 9-5. In addition to monitoring groundwater levels, the City of Hugo has also begun constructing stormwater reuse systems, which use surface water rather than groundwater for irrigation of the City's green spaces. These projects are described in greater detail in the Water Conservation section that follows. The City of Hugo DNR Appropriation Permit (1975-6218) currently authorizes the City to pump 650 million gallons per year. Historically, the City has pumped between 200 million and 450 million gallons per ILtT 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE year, as shown in Table 9-1. The National Wetland Inventory features within the City are shown in Map 9-4. The impact of groundwater pumping on regional natural resources is currently being studied, and the impact on White Bear Lake is under litigation, as described below. The Ramsey County District Court issued a ruling on August 30, 2017 that the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) allowed over -pumping of the groundwater aquifer in the region of White Bear Lake. The judge ordered the DNR to review groundwater appropriation permits within five miles of the lake and to enforce a residential lawn watering ban when the lake water level drops below 923.5 feet above sea level. On September 26, 2017, the DNR issued a news release stating that it will appeal the Court's ruling. The DNR contends that restricting permits within five miles of the lake will halt important development, and that the watering ban will impose an undue burden on 500,000 White Bear Lake area residents. The DNR recently developed a new groundwater model for the North and East Metro Groundwater Management Area (NEM GWMA), which will aid in understanding how groundwater pumping affects aquifers and lake levels in that region. The model will also help determine what effect pumping reduction or restriction would have on lake levels. The DNR is in the process of drawing conclusions from this model, and the sustainability of the groundwater aquifer is still under study. Roughly the southern half of Hugo falls within five miles of White Bear Lake, and the City has supply wells both inside and outside of this buffer boundary. The City is closely following developments in this DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only case and will coordinate with the DNR to ensure that it is complying with regional and state guidelines. The City of Hugo will review and adjust its Water Capital Improvement Plan as definitive conclusions become available in the case. The City will also continue its water conservation and efficiency programs in an effort to reduce water demand. 523948 Production Daily SCADA 654497 Production Daily SCADA 671642 Production Daily SCADA 686272 Production Daily SCADA 773400 Production Daily SCADA COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 213 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Preventative Maintenance Longterm preventative programs and measures for the City's existing water system will help reduce the risk of emergency situations. The City of Hugo staff has a number of programs to help reduce these risks. The well pumps are critical to the system's supply and do wear out with time due to their extensive use. Public Works Operations staff checks pump oil, bearings, and packing each weekday. Staff changes the pump oil in the spring and fall of each year. Well pumps are annually inspected by a well contractor to ensure proper operation. Annual well functions inspected include voltage, flow rate, vibration, water level, and other maintenance issues. In addition, pumps are pulled and serviced, rebuilt, or replaced as necessary every seven years. The water distribution system components are inspected and replaced when appropriate as part of the City's annual street reconstruction projects. Fire hydrants are flushed twice a year and gate valves are periodically exercised to confirm they are in proper working order and to identify issues within the distribution system. Storage facilities are cleaned and inspected every five years and repainted as necessary. )GO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only 91 COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 214 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN DRAFT Dec 14-17 for review only F PST, Ificiri Existing Water System Pressure Map Pressure 30-40 psi 40-50 psi 50-60 psi 60-70 psi ------------------------------------------, leej Water Tower CI i i ► Pressure Reducing Valve ® Interconnection Horseshoe Municipal Boundary 2040 MUSA Boundary Parcels it I Street z 4 170th St N z c z aci LL z I 165th St N Q a o - � I z ° I a Barked 0 ka 157th St N 1g�th I St N I 152nd St N II ren, - 147th St N 147th St N I Man Rd> N l� i z Rice i =cu z!.

Longterm conservation measures that improve overall water use efficiencies can help reduce the need for short-term conservation measures. Water conservation is an important part of water resource management and can also help utility managers satisfy the everincreasing demands being placed on water resources. Minnesota Statutes 103G.291 requires public water suppliers to implement demand reduction measures before seeking approval to construct new wells or increase their authorized volumes of water. Minnesota Rules 6115.0770, require water users to employ the best available means and practices to promote the efficient use of water. Conservation programs can be cost effective when compared to the generally higher costs of developing new sources of supply or expanding water and/or wastewater treatment plant capacities. )GO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only i P t COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 217 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Conservation Goals The DNR has established water conservation goals for eight major areas of water use: Metering and Unaccounted Water: The American Water Works Association (AWWA) recommends that every water utility system meter all water taken into its system and all water distributed from its system at its customers' points of service. An effective metering program relies upon periodic performance testing, repair, and maintenance of all meters. AWWA also recommends that utilities conduct regular water audits to ensure accountability. Table 9-6 presents a summary of the 2016 number and maintenance schedule for customer meters. Table 9-7 presents a summary of the number and maintenance schedule for water source meters. Currently there are no known unmetered connections to the City of Hugo's water system. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) recommends that unaccounted water not exceed 10% of the City's total average annual volume of water consumed. In the last five years, the City of Hugo's unaccounted for water was approximately 2.7% of the City's average annual volume of water consumed. As this is below the recommended 10%, the City is not required to implement conservation methods in response to unaccounted water; however, it is important to monitor the amount of unaccounted water regularly as it is a good indication IT 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only of pipe breaks or system failures. Water audits can be used to identify, quantify, and verify water and revenue losses, and the City evaluates the volume of unaccounted water each billing cycle. In addition, the City performs lead detection and surveys periodically as need, and in conjunction with street reconstruction projects. 2. Per Capita Demand: The DNR recommends a residential per capita water demand goal for communities within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area of 75 gallons per capita per day (GPCD). In the last five years, the City of Hugo averaged a residential per capita demand of 67 GPCD, which is within the DNR's recommended target. The City will continue enforcement of the lawn watering restriction during the summer months to maintain low residential demand. The City's stormwater reuse projects have also reduced residential water demand for irrigation. 3. Demand Reduction: The City is also making efforts to reduce non-residential water demands. The City will explore opportunities for water reuse with its institutional, commercial, and industrial customers. The City will also continue rebate programs for irrigation which reduce outdoor water use.

Total Per Capita Demand: The total per capita water demand in the City of Hugo has fluctuated over the last ten years. Over the long term, it shows a slight decreasing trend. This trend is likely due to increased enforcement of lawn watering restrictions and the recent implementation of water reuse projects. 5. Peak Demand Ratio: In the last five years, the City of Hugo's average maximum day to average day ratio was 3.4. The DNR recommends a peak ratio goal of 2.6. The City has implemented, and strictly enforces, an odd/even watering ban during all lawn watering seasons. The goal of the watering ban is to reduce the maximum day to average day demand ratio. The City has also recently implemented several stormwater reuse projects, described below, which are expected to lower the peak ratio. A slight decreasing trend in this ratio has emerged since 2014, which may be attributable to these reuse projects. 6. Rate Structure: The City has implemented a water utility rate structure for all customer categories on a quarterly basis, and the overall rate structure is included in Appendix 9-9. The volume included in the base rate charge for residential customers is 15,000 gallons; however, the City also charges based on the actual usage by the customer (residential, institutional/commercial/industrial, and irrigation). The charges assessed based on the actual water usage is a conservation rate structure, meaning that the rate per unit increases as water use increases. This is also referred to as an IT 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE increasing block rate. The increasing block rate is desirable from a conservation standpoint as it promotes conservation awareness to each individual customer. In addition, the water rates are evaluated on a yearly basis. 7. Additional Strategies: The DNR has identified a number of additional strategies that communities can use to reduce water use and support wellhead protection planning. The City of Hugo plans to continue implementing or begin to implement the following programs: • Prepare a Comprehensive Open Space Plan • Adopt a Water Use Restriction Ordinance • Adopt an Outdoor Lawn Irrigation Ordinance • Implement a Stormwater Management Program • Implement a Water Conservation Outreach Program • Implement a Rebate Program 8. Tracking Success: The City of Hugo will continue to monitor its per capita water use and its ratio of peak to average day demand. Its per capita water use is already within the DNR's recommended target, but its ratio of peak to average day demand is not. The City will continue to monitor this ratio and pursue a decreasing trend toward the peak ratio goal of 2.6. DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Stormwater Reuse One particular water conservation goal and initiative of the City of Hugo is stormwater reuse, for which the City has already implemented several systems. These systems draw stormwater from storage ponds for irrigation which would otherwise discharge to nearby surface waters. These projects have the benefits of improving the water quality of the City's surface waters by reducing stormwater runoff and reducing the burden on the potable water supply system for irrigation. The existing project sites include the Oneka Ridge Golf Course, Beaver Ponds Park, and Water's Edge development. Together these projects reduce groundwater demand in the City by approximately 80 million gallons per year. Several new reuse systems are already included in the development plans for the coming years, and the City will continue to identify and pursue stormwater reuse opportunities for existing development. The City has a goal of including stormwater reuse systems in all future major development projects. COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 219 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Regulation Education and Information Programs Table 9-8 Current Education Programs The City of Hugo has a number of regulations for shortterm reductions in demand and longterm improvements in water efficiencies. The City has a year-round odd/even water ban to help reduce peak demand during summer months. A copy of the adopted regulation is included in Appendix 9-10. In addition to the City regulations, there are a number of mandated State and Federal Regulations that the City enforces. These regulations include Minnesota Statute 103G.298 requiring all automatically operated landscape irrigation systems to have furnished and installed technology that inhibits or interrupts operation of the landscape irrigation system during periods of sufficient moisture. The technology must also be adjustable either by the end user or the professional practitioner of landscape irrigation services. The 1992 Federal Energy Policy Act established manufacturing standards for water efficient plumbing fixtures, including toilets, urinals, faucets, and aerators and is enforced with the City's building permit and inspections department. IT 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE The City of Hugo provides information on how to improve water use efficiencies by a number of education methods throughout the year. Information is, in general, provided at appropriate times to address peak demands. Emergency notices and educational materials on how to reduce water use are available for quick distribution during an emergency.

These improvements are shown in Map 9-5. The City's maximum day demand is expected to increase to 6,200 gpm (8.95 MGD) by the year 2040. The system's existing firm capacity is 4,225 gpm (6.08 MGD). Assuming that future production wells will have a production capacity of approximately 1,200 gpm and that the maximum day demand is supplied over 20 hours, three additional wells will be required by 2040. A well siting study will be required to determine the locations of these future wells. The City's average day demand is expected to increase to 2,400 gpm (3.44 MGD) by the year 2040. The City's total existing storage capacity is 2.0 MG. The City plans to construct a new 1.5 MG water tower that will be located beside existing Well No. 6 in the future. Once this new water tower is constructed, the existing Tower No. 2 will be taken out of service, leaving the City's total future storage capacity at 3.0 MG. Based on a supply and storage analysis through the year 2040, this future storage capacity will satisfy the City's storage and fire fighting requirements through that time. To serve the eastern portion of the City that is currently outside of the City's 2040 MUSA, the trunk water distribution system will need to be extended to the east, in addition to the construction of supply and storage infrastructures within that part of the City. Distribution, supply, and storage requirements will be dependent on the expected population and land use of the areas where service is extended. )GO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 222 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN 2040 System Pressures and Velocities A map of the 2040 build -out steady state system pressures calculated by the model, with the tower levels set to the lowest level seen during maximum day demand, is shown in Map 9-6.

The timing of future trunk watermain improvements will be influenced by several parameters, including development within specific areas, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, etc. As a result, it is difficult to accurately predict the timing of future improvements, especially those which may occur far in the future. Therefore, the Capital Improvement Plan is intended to serve as a guide only for future fiscal planning and should be reviewed on a regular basis as more current planning and cost data becomes available. The following items are general guiding principles to be considered when reviewing and/or revising the City's water system fee structure: Design and Maintenance The City promotes design for public buildings that allows for future expansions or accessory uses and encourages multi -use functions in public buildings to provide for economy in government and make the most efficient use of these facilities. The City will maintain the existing infrastructure to maximize cost efficiencies in development of public projects and will work with the State, County and/or neighboring communities to coordinate public infrastructure improvements and services. The City discourages leapfrog development. Oversizing Trunk oversizing, as defined by the City and installed as part of development projects, will be credited using the differential of pipe costs between the larger and the minimum pipe size required for the development. The City shall determine if a credit will be given for a project.

Existing Developed Unserviced Properties There are a number of existing developed areas that do not receive water service within the City limits. The trunk system has been designed to accommodate the existing developed unserviced properties within the City, but it is not the policy of the City to force individual property owners to connect to City service. If an individual property owner or group of neighboring property owners wishes to connect to City service where it is not yet available, the City will review whether or not it is an economically viable alternative to provide services to the area at the time of the request for connection. Existing developed unserviced residential properties will be required to pay connection fees as required by City Code. Existing Non -Residential Unserviced Properties Existing unserviced commercial/ industrial or other non-residential properties wishing to expand or connect to municipal utilities shall be treated the same as new development and will be required to pay all connection fees as required by the City Code. )GO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 228 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Capital Improvement Plan The City of Hugo's Water CIP is presented in Table 9-9. This table includes trunk system improvements for service areas added within the 2040 MUSA, and also includes water storage and well source improvements within the 2040 MUSA. To serve the eastern portion of the City that is currently outside of the City's 2040 MUSA, the trunk water distribution system will need to be extended to the east and will include the construction of additional supply and storage within the eastern portion of the City. Distribution, supply, and storage requirements will depend on the expected population and land use of the areas where service is extended. Utility Fee Structure The City's current water fee structure is provided in Appendix 9-9. Fees consist of water use rates, water availability charges (WAC), and water trunk fees. Utility usage fees are charged to both residential and non-residential users based on the actual water usage metered during the particular billing period. The purpose of the user charges is to fund the operation, maintenance, and replacement costs of the existing distribution system. User charges are primarily based on the actual I LT 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only costs of operations, maintenance, and replacement of all water system facilities. WAC fees provide a funding mechanism for asset costs, while water trunk fees provide funding for the construction of major infrastructure improvements needed to develop and expand the system. The City of Hugo has established that growth should be funded and paid for by those in need of the facilities. The development creating the need for additional water distribution system improvements are expected to pay for new trunk facilities and expansion of existing facilities through the water trunk fees. Both the WAC fees and water trunk fees are calculated based upon the Metropolitan Council's SAC Procedure Manual, which includes SAC unit calculations for non-residential properties. New development within the 2040 MUSA with municipal infrastructure available is required to connect to the municipal system. Existing development is not currently required to connect to the City's water distribution system. Developments and redevelopments desiring service will be responsible for all connection charges per City Code.

DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only Operational Contingency Plan An operational contingency plan that describes measures to be taken for water supply mainline breaks and other common system failures, as well as routine maintenance, is recommended by the State Department for all utilities. The City of Hugo's water utility currently has an operational contingency plan. A contact list for contractors and suppliers is included in a water emergency telephone list included in Appendix 9-5. Allocation and Demand Reduction Procedures COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 231 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Water Supply Plans, as required by the Department of Natural Resources and the Metropolitan Council, must include procedures to address emergencies and the sudden loss of water due to line breaks, power failures, sabotage, etc. During periods of limited water supply, public water suppliers are required to allocate water based on the priorities established in Minnesota Statutes 103G.261. These priorities are defined as follows: • The first priority water use category includes domestic water supply only and excludes industrial and commercial uses of municipal water supply. The first priority also includes uses for power production that meet contingency requirements. Domestic use is defined by MN Rules 6115.0630, Subp. 9, as use for general household purposes for human needs such as cooking, cleaning, drinking, washing, and waste disposal, and uses for onfarm livestock watering excluding commercial livestock operations which use more than 10,000 gallons per day or one million gallons per year. • The second priority water use category includes uses involving consumption of less than 10,000 gallons per day. • The third priority water use category includes uses for agricultural irrigation and processing of agricultural products. • The fourth priority water use category includes uses for power production in excess of the use provided for in the contingency plan under first priority. • The fifth priority water use category includes uses, other than agricultural irrigation, processing of agricultural products, and power production. • The sixth priority water use category includes nonessential uses. These uses are defined by Minnesota Statutes 103G.291 as lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course and park irrigation, and other nonessential uses. Triggers for Allocation and Demand Reduction HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Water used for human needs at hospitals, nursing homes and similar types of facilities are designated as a high priority to be maintained in an emergency. Local allocation priorities will address water used for human needs at other types of facilities such as hotels, office buildings, and manufacturing plants. The volume of water and other types of water uses at these facilities will be carefully considered. After reviewing the data, common sense will dictate local allocation priorities to protect domestic requirements over certain types of economic needs. Table 9-10 lists the priority ranking, average day demand and demand reduction potential for each customer category in the City. Table 9-10 Water Use Priorities Residential 1 720,000 - Institutional 2 0 Commercial 3 36,600 Industrial 4 22,200 Agricultural/Irrigation 5 219,000 Wholesale 7 0 Non -Essential 6 N/A Total NA GPD — Gallons per Day N/A 245,000* *It is estimated that the City's use increases by approximately 490,000 gallons per day in the summer. Therefore, on average, the short-term reduction potential is 245,000 gallons per day (half of the increased summer use). It should be noted that this reduction potential will be significantly lower in the winter months. DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 232 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Triggers for allocation and demand reduction actions are defined by the City of Hugo for implementing emergency responses, including supply augmentation, demand reduction, and water allocation. Examples of triggers can include the water demand in excess of 100% of storage capacity, the water level in the City's wells below a certain elevation, etc. Each trigger should have a quantifiable indicator and actions can have multiple stages such as mild, moderate and severe responses. The following are triggers that the City of Hugo has identified and are used for implementing emergency responses: • Excessive Water Demand • Storage Capacity (demand exceeding capacity) • Well Pumps, or Wells Out of Service • Loss of Production • Water Main Break • Governor's Executive Order — Critical Water Deficiency (required by Statute) Table 9-11 presents the primary quantitative triggers for implementing water emergency procedures and the actions to be taken. System failures are not included in the outlined triggers. Triggers may be adjusted if equipment failures occur. In addition, the potential for IT 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE water availability problems during the onset of a drought are almost impossible to predict. Significant increases in demand should be balanced with preventative measures to conserve supplies in the event of prolonged drought conditions.

Stage 2: Suspend lawn watering, vehicle washing, golf course and park irrigation and other non-essential uses. COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 233 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN and enforce water conservation restrictions during periods of critical water shortages. As stated in Minnesota Statutes 103G.291, Subdivision 1, regarding public water supply appropriation during deficiency, if the governor determines and declares by executive order that there is a critical water deficiency, public water supply authorities appropriating water must adopt and enforce water conservation restrictions within their jurisdiction that are consistent with rules adopted by the commissioner. The restrictions must limit lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, golf course and park irrigation, and other nonessential uses, and have appropriate penalties for failure to comply with the restrictions. The City of Hugo has authorized the Public Works Director to have standing authority to implement water restrictions, which increases response times for dealing with water emergencies. The Mayor or City Administrator, in conjunction with the Public Works Director, is responsible for providing overall direction and control of City Government resources involved in the response to a disaster. Typically, the Public Works Director will implement seasonal watering restrictions. )GO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 234 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Appendices Appendix 9-1 Water Supply Plan JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 235 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Appendix 9-2 Well Records and Maintenance Summaries JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 236 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Appendix 9-3 Water Level Monitoring Plan JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 237 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Appendix 9-4 Water Level Graphs t TO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 238 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Appendix 9-5 Capital Improvement Plan JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 239 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Appendix 9-6 Emergency Telephone List JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 240 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Appendix 9-7 Cooperative Agreements for Emergency Services tHPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 241 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Appendix 9-8 Municipal Critical Water Deficiency Ordinance tEkUO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 242 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Appendix 9-9 Water Demand by Customer Category JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 243 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Appendix 9-10 Water Rate Structure JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 244 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Appendix 9-11 Water Conservation Regulations JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 245 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Appendix 9-12 Implementation Checklist JIPGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only COMPREHENSIVE WATER SUPPLY 246 AND DISTRIBUITION PLAN Chapter 10 Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only The City of Hugo's Water Resource Management Plan (plan, City plan, local plan, WRMP) is a local management plan that meets the requirements of Minnesota Statutes 103B.235, Minnesota Rules 8410, the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) Watershed Management Plan, the Brown's Creek Watershed District (BCWD) Fourth Generation Watershed Management Plan, the Carnelian -Marine -St. Croix Watershed District (CMSCWD) Watershed Management Plan, and Washington County Groundwater Plan. 0 Minnesota Statute 1036.201 states that the purposes of the water management programs are to: • Protect, preserve, and use natural surface and groundwater storage and retention systems; • Minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality problems; • Identify and plan for means to effectively protect and improve surface and groundwater quality; • Establish more uniform local policies and official controls for surface and groundwater management; • Prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems; • Promote groundwater recharge; • Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities; and • Secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of surface and groundwater.

Cooperation, collaboration, and partnering results in projects that are less likely to conflict with the goals of the affected entities, are better able to meet long-term goals, and are generally more cost-effective. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Strategies Hugo pursues a reduce, reuse, and replenish philosophy through its stormwater management policies. Hugo's policies are designed to: • Reduce stormwater runoff to prevent the damage that occurs to lakes, streams, and wetlands from urbanization. • Reduce reliance on groundwater by encouraging projects that reuse stormwater for irrigation. Favor a regional approach to preserve and replenish underground drinking water supplies. This regional approach substitutes surface water for groundwater where possible and seeks to replenish groundwater supplies by active regional management of existing appropriations and by consideration of an aquifer recharge and storage program.

To accommodate the projected population, the City initiated an update to its Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan in accordance with Minnesota Statute 473.513. The purpose of this study is to provide the City with an updated plan to serve future development and to identify existing system facilities and deficiencies. 0 Scope The plan incorporates the population projections from the Metropolitan Council (MCES) overall system statement to project sanitary sewer flows for the City of Hugo through the year 2040. The potential 2040 service area was defined as areas that can be feasibly served by sanitary sewer in the future and was based on the 2040 Land Use Plan. The 2040 service area for the City is considered to be the full build -out of the proposed 2040 urban service area, generally defined as the western half of the community. Based on the 2040 service area, sanitary Sewer Districts and Sub -districts were defined. Existing sanitary sewer flow rates were calculated based on the existing number of SAC units and per capita flows designated by MCES for each Sub -district. Future sanitary sewer flow rates were calculated for each Sub -district based on the respective land uses and assumed per acre flow rates. The eastern portion of the City was also evaluated for future sanitary sewer service beyond 2040. Projected sanitary sewer flow rates were used to analyze the existing trunk system capacity and to size future trunk system facilities. Future trunk improvements were defined with the intention that the trunk system would serve the 2040 service area in addition to the eastern portion of the City outside the 2040 MUSA. An approximate layout of potential 2040 trunk system improvements is provided, which include capacity considerations for ultimate flows from the eastern half of the City. Future improvements were incorporated into a Sanitary Sewer Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) HL#r 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE I.I:O&TAIr.M«h for review only Data Available In preparing this report, the following sources of information were utilized: • Existing Sanitary Sewer GIS Information prepared by WSB & Associates, Inc. • Sanitary Sewer as-builts provided by the City of Hugo • City of Hugo Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan, dated 2008 • MCES Metering Data • MCES Sanitary Sewer Design Peaking Factors • MCES System Statement for the City of Hugo COMPREHENSIVE SANITARY SEWER PLAN W Existing Sanitary Sewer System Sanitary Sewer Service Area Typically, sanitary sewer systems consist of two elements: collection and treatment. Collection systems include sewer services, trunk sewer pipe, lateral sewer pipe, manholes, lift stations, and forcemains which collect the sewer flows from private residential, commercial, and industrial properties within the city. Treatment systems include the biological or chemical treatment in order to remove targeted contaminants from the wastewater. The City of Hugo's existing sanitary sewer system is a collection system only; the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) provides treatment for Hugo's sanitary sewer flows. MCES is also responsible for major trunk facilities conveying wastewater across City boundaries to regional treatment facilities. All wastewater flows from the City of Hugo enter the MCES Interceptor system and are conveyed to the MCES Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located in the City of St. Paul, directly adjacent to the Mississippi River. The sanitary sewer service area is defined as the area from which wastewater flows are collected by the City's sewer system. The existing service area within the City of Hugo is comprised of approximately 3,600 gross acres which includes the lakes, wetlands, open park land, and road right-of-ways. This existing service area is shown in Map 10-1. Nineteen sanitary sewer service districts were developed within the City boundaries based on the connection points to the MCES Interceptor. These districts are further subdivided into smaller Sub -districts based on trunk gravity service and lift station service areas that were used to develop design flows and size trunk facilities. The existing service area is partially developed within several districts. The Sewer Districts and Sub -districts are shown in Map 10-2. ,HUGO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 COMPREHENSIVE SANITARY A SEWER PLAN for review only Land Use Breakdown Lift Stations The current and 2040 land use plan for the City of Hugo is described in Chapter 4 of this Comprehensive Plan.

The lift station capacities vary depending on the breakdown and the associated abbreviations. demand within and size of their associated service area. Gravity Sanitary Sewer The City of Hugo's gravity sanitary sewer system is in good condition overall and consists of 8- to 18 -inch diameter vitrified clay pipe (VCP), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), ductile iron pipe (DIP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic sewer pipe. The original sanitary sewer system was constructed in the 1970's and included two lift stations. Following the initial construction, the majority of the system has been constructed within the past 30 years. The gravity sanitary sewers are directed to several connection points to the MCES interceptors described in Section 4 that conveys wastewater to the Metropolitan WWTP.

COMPREHENSIVE SANITARY SEWER PLAN W Peak Flow Factors The sanitary sewer collection system must be capable of accommodating not only average flows, but also the anticipated peak flows. These peak flows can be expressed as a variable ratio applied to average flow rates. This variable ratio, called the peak flow factor, has been found to decrease as the average flow increases. The peak flow factors applied in this study were based on typical MCES peaking factors. They are generally considered conservative, and are widely used for planning in municipalities throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Table 11-3 below lists the peaking factors used for this study.

Existing system as -built information was used to determine pipe capacities. Average day flows were calculated by determining the acreages of each land use designation in each district, assuming a typical flow generated per capita, and scaling the flows to coincide with MCES flow data. All trunk sanitary sewer mains exhibited adequate capacity for the existing system flows. Table 11-4 summarizes the existing average and peak system flows by Sewer Sub -District. The flows reported below do not include flow from upstream Sub -Districts. However, cumulative flows from upstream Sub -Districts were considered in the capacity analysis of existing trunk sewer and lift stations.

There are several lift stations along the length of the interceptor, two of which are in Hugo. MCES Lift Station No. 2 is located on the City of Hugo's north border at 180th Street North. MCES Lift Station No. 3 is located adjacent to CSAH 8 at Oneka Parkway. The capacity of MCES Lift Station No. 2 is 2,600 gpm or 3.74 MGD, and the capacity of MCES Lift Station No. 3 is 3,400 gpm or 4.90 MGD. The interceptor enters the City of Hugo and MCES Lift Station No. 2 as a 36 -inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) gravity sewer. The interceptor exits MCES Lift Station No. 2 with approximately 3,500 feet of 18 -inch ductile iron pipe (DIP) forcemain before transitioning back to 36 -inch RCP gravity sewer. The 36 -inch RCP increases in size to a 42 -inch RCP gravity sewer near 170th Street North and remains 42 inches in diameter through the City of Hugo except for approximately 2,350 feet of 24 -inch DIP forcemain between MCES Lift Station No. 3 and the 42 -inch interceptor on 142nd Street North. MCES has identified an extensive Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) related to the Forest Lake Interceptor in response to growth within the region. There are improvements programmed for the facilities between Hugo and the MCES WWTP over the next ten years. There are currently projects that are under construction or in the planning stages consistent with the CIP. Interceptor 76-51 (The Centerville Interceptor) intersects with and flows into the Forest Lake Interceptor near MCES Lift Station No. 3 in Hugo. This interceptor collects flows from the Cities of Hugo, Lino Lakes, and Centerville. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 COMPREHENSIVE SANITARY A SEWER PLAN for review only 2040 Sanitary Sewer System Growth Projections The City of Hugo experienced stable growth between 1900 and 1960; however, it grew at a high rate between 1960 and 2000 with approximately 44% growth between 1990 and 2000. Although the city's population doubled from 2000 to 2010, its growth has slowed to approximately 10% growth since 2010. Recent historical growth data for the study area from the Minnesota State Demographer's office and projections determined by the Metropolitan Council are included in Table 11-6. Table 11-7 shows the assumed population growth and sewered population in the year 2040. These values are based on the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan, and they are greater than the values listed in the City's 2040 MCES System Statement. As described in the 2040 Land Use Plan, service allocation will be managed through the City's Growth Management Policy, and projections for 2020 and 2030 are not listed. All sewered population growth within the City of Hugo through the year 2040 will be served by the MCES Forest Lake Interceptor (7029) and metered at MCES Meter M041. It is assumed that as development occurs within the urban service area, sanitary sewer service will be extended to the new development.

The development and expansion of sewer service into District E will require flows from Sub -districts E4, E6, and E7 to be serviced by Lift Station No. 4. The peak flows generated from these districts are projected to be within the current capacity of Lift Station No. 4. At such a time that development occurs in District V outside of the 2040 MUSA, the trunk sewer main within District E2 along 130th St N would need to be reconstructed to a 42 -inch diameter trunk main from Highway 61 to the MCES interceptor.

A portion of Sub -district 11 wastewater flows will be directed to Sub -district 12 and eventually outlet to the MCES interceptor at connection point 11. Sub -district 15 wastewater flows will be directed to Sub -district 14. The extension of sanitary sewer to Sub -districts 15 and 16 would result in the total peak flows entering Lift Station No. 2 exceeding the capacity of the lift station. Thus, the capacity of Lift Station No. 2 pumps would need to be upgraded from 400 gpm to at least 420 gpm before total sewer service expansion into Sub -districts 15 and 16. Sub -district 16 sanitary sewer improvements will consist of the extension of an 8 -inch sanitary sewer and the construction of Lift Station 16 with a minimum pumping capacity of 115 gpm. Wastewater flows from this lift station will then be directed to Sub -district 14 prior to entering the MCES interceptor at connection point 11.

The wastewater flow generation rates for the various land uses found Table 10-8 were used to project the future wastewater flows for the service area. Wastewater flow projections for the eastern portions of the City outside of the 2040 MUSA were calculated on an average wastewater flow generation rate per gross acre of 900 gallons per day average as land use and population projections for this portion of the City are not available. The MCES Peak Flow Design Factors are summarized in Table 10- 3. Estimated peak hour flows are not totaled as the peaking factor is dependent upon the average day flow rate. Summing the projected peak hour flow rates would produce a flow rate higher than the peak hour flow rate for the entire City. Therefore, the following existing, 2040 MUSA, and ultimate peak hour flows were calculated by multiplying the total average flows by the appropriate MCES peaking factor.

These future 2040 trunk mains and lift stations are included in Map 10-4. The MCES interceptor was not analyzed in this report. As discussed in Section 10.2, all City lift stations have sufficient capacity for additional growth in sanitary sewer flows. As shown in the following table, Lift Station 2 will require an upgrade to accommodate the 2040 peak flows; all other existing lift stations have sufficient capacity for 2040 peak sanitary sewer flows. Table 10-10 below shows existing and proposed lift station pump capacity as compared to future 2040 peak flow. To accommodate ultimate future flows from the eastern Districts, trunk connections will need to be installed into the existing system.

The timing of future trunk sanitary sewer improvements will be influenced by several parameters including development in specific areas, failing on-site septic systems, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, etc. As a result, it is difficult to accurately predict the timing of future improvements, especially those which may occur far into the future. Therefore, the Capital Improvement Program is intended to serve only as a guide for future fiscal planning and should be reviewed on a regular basis as more current planning and cost data becomes available. The following items are general guiding principles to be considered when reviewing and/or revising the City's sanitary sewer fee structure: Design and Maintenance The City promotes design for public buildings that allows for future expansions or accessory uses and encourages multi -use functions in public buildings to provide for economy in government and make the most efficient use of these facilities. The City will maintain the existing infrastructure to maximize cost efficiencies in development of public projects and will work with the State, County and/or neighboring communities to coordinate public infrastructure improvements and services. The City discourages leapfrog development. Overdepth and Oversizing The costs of additional depth shall be defined by differences in cost for the depth required by the development and the depth required for trunk facilities. Trunk oversizing as defined by the City and installed by the developer will be credited using the differential of pipe costs between the larger and the minimum pipe size required for the development. The City shall determine if a credit will be given for a project. HLUO 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 COMPREHENSIVE SANITARY A SEWER PLAN for review only Lift Stations Trunk lift stations will be defined as those included as part of the Comprehensive Sewer Plan. The cost of trunk lift stations will be financed by the City via the City's trunk funds, which are collected as part of development projects. Lift stations that do not fit the definition for a trunk lift station will be constructed and financed privately as needed to serve individual developments. All lift stations will be designed and constructed in accordance with City standards. Sewer Service The City will provide sanitary sewer service within the 2040 MUSA. In order to protect the local environment and water supply, the City encourages the installation, maintenance, and monitoring of individual sewage treatment systems (ISTS) for those properties not served by the City system. Existing Developed Unserviced Properties There are a number of existing developed areas that do not receive sewer service within the City limits. The trunk system has been designed to accommodate all existing developed unserviced properties within the City. Existing developed unserviced residential properties are required to connect to the City sewer system within 12 months after such sewer service becomes available to the property and will be required to pay all connection fees as required by the City Code. If an individual property owner or group of neighboring property owners wish to connect to City services where it is not yet available, the City will review whether or not it is an economically viable alternative to provide services to the area at the time of the request. Existing Non -Residential Unserviced Properties Existing unserviced commercial/industrial or other non-residential properties wishing to expand or connect to municipal utilities shall be treated the same as new development and will be required to pay all connection fees as required by the City Code.

The projected 2040 sanitary sewer trunk system was broken down into improvements based on flow districts. All trunk main and lift station installations and all lift station upgrades will be phased with development. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Utility Fee Structure Sanitary sewer fees consist of sewer user fees, City sewer access charges (City SAC), sewer trunk fees, and MCES sewer access charges (MCES SAC). The City's current sewer fee structure is provided below: Utility usage fees are charged to both residential and non-residential users based on the actual water usage metered during the winter quarter. The purpose of the user charges is to fund the operation, maintenance, and replacement costs of existing collection systems. User charges are primarily based on the actual costs of operations, maintenance, and replacement of all wastewater system facilities. City SAC fees provide a funding mechanism for asset costs, while sewer trunk fees provide a funding mechanism for construction of the major infrastructure improvements needed to serve growth. The City of Hugo has established that growth should be funded and paid for by those in need of the facilities. The development creating the need for additional sanitary sewer system improvements are expected to finance new trunk facilities and expansion of existing facilities through the sewer trunk fees. Both the SAC fees and sewer trunk fees are calculated based upon the Metropolitan Council's SAC Procedure Manual, which includes SAC unit calculations for non-residential properties. The City also collects MCES SAC fees on behalf of MCES to fund treatment and conveyance within the MCES system.

Infiltration is water, typically groundwater, which leaks into the sewer system through cracks in the sewer mains, laterals, joints, and manholes. Water from inflow and infiltration (1/1) can consume available capacity in the wastewater collection system and increase the flow into treatment facilities. In extreme cases, the added flow can cause bypasses or overflows of raw wastewater. This extra flow also requires a larger capacity in the city's collection and treatment components, which results in increased capital, operation and maintenance, and replacement costs. As a sewer system ages and deteriorates, 1/1 can become an increasing burden on a City's system. Therefore, it is imperative that I/1 be reduced whenever it is cost effective to do so. The MCES has established 1/1 goals for each community discharging wastewater into the Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS) based on average day flows and allowable peaking factors. In February 2006, the MCES began an 1/1 Surcharge Program which requires communities within their service area to eliminate excessive 1/1 over a period of time. Now, communities that exceed their wastewater flow program year goals for the period of January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 will be required to complete an 1/1 mitigation assignment to be implemented in 2019. Historically, the City of Hugo has not been identified by the MCES as having excessive 1/I. During the development of the 1/1 Surcharge Program, the City was not charged for wastewater generation based on actual metering data, but rather on estimated wastewater flows based on connections added per year. MCES began billing the City of Hugo based on metering data in 2013, using data available beginning in 2011. An analysis of recent metering data as it relates to 1/1 is included below. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 COMPREHENSIVE SANITARY A SEWER PLAN for review only 111 Analysis The City of Hugo's sanitary sewer system is relatively new compared to other cities in the Metro Area. All of the lift stations and a majority of the sewer lines were constructed from the 1970s onward. Approximately 8% of the residential housing in the City was constructed before 1970, and none of the pre -1970 era private services have been evaluated for 1/1. However, the City televises its sanitary sewer lines in conjunction with its street and utility improvement projects, at which time potential issues with private services are identified. A comparison of the dry weather flow versus average annual flow for Hugo's Metershed region from 2012-2016 is given in Table 10-12 below Dry weather flow is calculated as average flow during the months of December through February. The purpose of this comparison is to give a general indication of the extent of 1/1 in the region. Based on the difference between average and dry weather flow, averaged over 2012-2016, the estimated amount of clearwater entering the system is approximately 36,000 gallons per day. The percent increase from dry weather to average annual flows in the City of Hugo was less than 10% in every year except for 2016. A slight increasing trend is indicated by the metering data from the last five years; the City will continue to monitor this data to see whether or not this trend continues. The City's strategies, standards, and investments for reducing 1/1 are listed in the next section.

Hugo requires sump pump and private sewer disconnection during public sewer expansions, and requires suitable conditions of existing lines before a dry connection to the public sewer system is made. Furthermore, the City clearly articulates that the discharge of any non -wastewater into the public sewer system, especially stormwater, is prohibited. Excerpts from the Hugo City Code that pertain to 1/1 reduction are included below: Sec. 82-107. - Construction requirements. (b) Approved materials ... No inter -connection of the existing private sewage disposal system shall remain upon connection to the public system. If a sewer service connection is such that gravity flow can be had to the public sewer main and a sump pump is presently used, said sump pump shall be disconnected, discontinued, and removed from sewer service. (d) Existing lines and systems to be approved. Existing building service lines or systems may require replacement. Such lines claimed to be in good condition and approved material shall be subject to an air test or other suitable tests approved by the city engineer and/or plumbing inspector. Any system will be subject to retesting. Cost of testing shall be paid by the owner. Any system failing to meet a satisfactory test shall be replaced or repaired to the satisfaction of the city engineer and/or city inspector. HL 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 COMPREHENSIVE SANITARY A SEWER PLAN for review only A01 e) Connection restrictions. No connection of any building sewer to any sewer service line shall be made by any person other than an employee of the city, or a licensed sewer installer, and all such connections shall be made under dry conditions, either naturally occurring or by dewatering, and in the presence of the city inspector. (Prior Code, § 230-120) Sec. 82-108. - Abnormal and prohibited discharges. (1) Stormwater. No stormwater, surface water, groundwater, or run-off, subsurface drainage, cooling water or unpolluted industrial process waters shall be discharged or caused to be discharged into said sanitary sewer system. (2) Roof and surface water. No roof or surface water drains shall be connected or directed to drain into the sanitary sewer system. (Prior Code, § 230-130) In addition, as mentioned previously, the City televises its sanitary sewer mains in conjunction with its street and utility improvement projects. As issues are identified by the televising, corrective measures are initiated for the affected sewer or with the affected property owner. The City of Hugo will continue to review its metering data as more becomes available and will begin to evaluate the sources of I/1 in its system and target areas for 1/1 reduction projects. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 COMPREHENSIVE SANITARY A SEWER PLAN for review only Chapter 12 Public Facilities Plan Nr� k — -ft DRAFT Dec14-17 for review only The purpose of this chapter is to evaluate the need for City -owned facilities.

Facilities owned by the City and other government agencies provide vital services to the community. These facilities vary in size, function and condition and are maintained by their operating body. In order to understand how these facilities serve the community, the City undertook an inventory to identify their current function and condition. This inventory was completed with the assistance of those that maintain each of these facilities. Although this inventory includes public facilities owned by other governmental units and semi-public facilities, such as churches and schools, the City did not evaluate the future needs for those facilities. jFkU0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 A for review only 2040 Public Facilities Guiding Principles 1.

The existing City Hall, Public Works Facility and Fire Hall were all designed to accommodate additional growth with building expansions. These building expansions have not been scheduled for construction, but may be required prior to 2040. The City should monitor the needs of these facilities and include improvements in the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) as needed. It was assumed that the City will continue to operate with a volunteer fire department and contract with Washington County for police service. However, with the growth of population in the northern portion of the City, as discussed in the Land Use chapter, an additional Fire Hall/Public Safety building may be required in northern Hugo to provide good response time for existing property owners and new residents and businesses in the 2040 Land Use expansion areas. The existing Fire Hall on 140'" Street serves the entire City of Hugo. Ambulance service is provided by North Memorial. They are able to provide service to the City for the foreseeable future and have the capacity to serve Hugo's growing population. JRX30 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE • Improve the response time to homes and businesses in northern Hugo. • Meet the demand for increased services due to increased growth in the City. • Provide back up to the existing Fire Hall. In addition to serving as the Public Works Facility and City Hall, these existing buildings also office the contracted police staff from Washington County. With the growth of the City, an expansion of the existing Public Works Facility building may be required. The City should consider partnering with Washington County as expansions are needed for the Public Works Facility and City Hall. The City of Hugo should prepare a comprehensive needs assessment to determine when expansions to the Public Works Facility and City Hall are necessary and to ensure that the location of the new Fire Hall/ Public Safety building would be in a location that would best serve the needs of the community.

Agenda Number: 1.1 CITY OF HUGO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLANNING AND ZONING APPLICATION STAFF REPORT TO: Bryan Bear, City Administrator FROM: Rachel Juba, Planner SUBJECT: TGK Automotive — Sketch Plan for the property located at 13891 Forest Blvd. DATE: February 1, 2018, for the City Council Meeting of February 5, 2018 ZONING: Neighborhood Service (NS) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Commercial (COM) 60 -DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: March 11, 2018 1. BACKGROUND: The applicant is seeking comments on a sketch plan for a 13,950 square foot motor vehicle repair business on a 3 acre property formerly known as the "End Zone" site. They would like to expand their business from their existing leased space at 5241 130th Street in Hugo. The subject property is currently vacant and zoned Neighborhood Service (NS). In order for the use to be located on the property it would need to be rezoned to General Business (C-2). The applicant would like feedback on the site plan, architecture, and rezoning of the property. The applicant has the property under contract. 2. SKETCH PLAN: Rezoning The City's Comprehensive Plan identifies the subject parcel as Commercial. The Comprehensive Plan identifies three types of commercial land uses that are reflected in the zoning regulations. The regulations specifically list three types of commercial zoning as; Neighborhood Service (NS), Central Business (C-1), and General Business (C-2.) The purpose of the Neighborhood Service (NS) zoning district is to provide a location for commercial and service businesses to conveniently serve the needs of an identified residential neighborhood. The NS District provides for those neighborhood commercial uses, but it does not TGK Automotive, Sketch Plan Page 2 allow for restaurants, auto sales, or other uses intended primarily to draw traffic from outside the neighborhood. The NS district does allow for neighborhood food service, different from restaurants, which has several regulations in regards to hours of operation and outdoor noise. The purpose of the Central Business (C-1) zoning district is to provide for the establishment of a downtown which is a blend of cultural, recreational, civic, entertainment, retail, sales, and office uses. The C-1 district allows restaurants and taverns as well as a series of other uses that are not allowed in the NS District. The C-1 District allows more commercial uses, with a lesser amount of restrictions than the NS district. A motor vehicle repair business is not allowed in the C -I zoning district. The General Business (C-2) is the zoning that is being proposed by the applicant. The purpose of the C-2 zoning district is to provide for the establishment of service and freestanding commercial businesses, including retail sales, offices, and restaurants, which are oriented toward motorists and require high volumes of traffic and visibility from major roads. The C-2 district allows restaurants and auto oriented businesses as well as a series of other uses that are not allowed in the NS District. The C-2 district allows more commercial uses, with a lesser amount of restrictions than the NS district. A motor vehicle repair business, excluding an auto body shop, paint shop, or tow lot, is allowed in the C-2 zoning district. The NS and C-2 zoning districts have different permitted, accessory, and conditional uses. The C-2 district allows for more intense commercial uses that may include additional traffic, lighting, and noise. The construction limitations are the same, except the lot coverage requirements. The applicant has stated that he would like the property to be zoned C-2 because of the expanded uses, which allows for the motor vehicle repair business, compared to the NS zoning district. The property to the north at Highway 61 and 1401h St (CSAR 8) was rezoned to C-2 from NS in 2012. The property to the west across Highway 61 has a conditional use permit for an auto body shop, but is zoned NS. These uses would be allowed in the C-2 zoning district. The property has been marketed by a commercial real estate firm as a NS zoning district. The property now has a purchase agreement for a use that is not allowed in the NS district. The expanded uses may help occupy the vacant property. The property is close to an important intersection adjacent to Highway 61 and 140' Street (CSAH 8), with high traffic counts. Any use on the property would likely draw people from several areas of the City, other than the surrounding neighborhoods. The area is consistent with what would be desired for uses in the C-2 district to locate. Rezoning the property General Business (C-2) would be in compliance with the land use guide plan. While the properties to the east are developed with town homes, they are separated from this property by a small wooded area. With additional work on transitions in the site layout the wooded area could help serve as an acceptable transition to a proposed commercial development. The properties to the north and south are vacant, zoned NS, and will likely be developed as commercial uses. The properties to the west, across Highway 61 are occupied by Schwieters Companies and are zoned General Industrial (I-3). It's staff opinion that this property can accommodate the expanded uses without having an adverse impact on the surrounding properties. TGK Automotive, Sketch Plan Page 3 Staff is comfortable with the request, as long as there are proper transitions between the land uses and the impact on the surrounding residential properties is minimized. Further analysis of the transitions would be evaluated during the site plan approval process. If the rezoning of the property is supported, then it may be reasonable to expect other property owners to the north and south of this site to request the same zoning. Staff would be comfortable with these properties also being rezoned to C-2 as well. General Layout The applicant is showing a 13,950 square foot motor vehicle repair business with an associated parking lot. There seems to be enough area on the plan to accommodate the required number of parking spaces by City Code. The applicant has stated that they will be repairing personal vehicles and medium duty trucks. Most of the overhead doors are on the north and south side of the building, with one being on the east side of the building. The applicant has stated that the medium duty trucks will be using the overhead doors on the north side. The plan is showing a stormwater pond in the northeast corner and landscaping along the east property line to further provide a transition/buffer from the residential properties to the east. The applicant will be required to meet the landscaping requirements in the City Code. The sketch plan is a rough draft of how the site could be laid out. There are still several items in regard to the general layout that need to be worked on as the projects moves forward and a formal application is submitted. The applicant is showing additional landscaping to provide a transitionibuffer to the residential properties to the east. If the City Council is comfortable with the rezoning of the property, staff recommends that the Commission provide comments to the applicant on what items are important if the property is rezoned. Some of these items may include: • Buffer/screening methods • Building design and architecture • Limits to vehicle storage • Lighting • Noise abatement • Other... Access There are three existing access points into the property. The applicant is showing one proposed access. MnDOT has a plan to expand Highway 61 into a 4 -lane divided Highway. The plan shows a median at this access location. The short term the access into the site would be a full access, but long-term the access into the site will be right-in/right-out only. As the project moves forward MnDOT will be provided the opportunity to comment on the plan. They may require turn lanes on Highway 61 to access the site, as per the comments received from another project previously proposed on this site. It will also be required that 39 feet of right-of-way along Highway 61 be dedicated to the City for the future expansion of the highway per the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and MnDOT. TGK Automotive, Sketch Plan Page 4 Staff has encouraged the applicant to evaluate cross access between the properties to the north and south to limit the number access points onto Highway 61. Staff will continue to work with the applicant on this as the project moves forward. Architecture The building is not simply a square and can provide some interest as the architecture comes together. The applicant has provided elevations, renderings, and an example of what they envision the building will look like. The applicant has stated the majority of the building material would be brick. The entrance will be defined and the overhead doors do not dominate the appearance of the building. Staff recommends the applicant further break up the large building walls with additional architectural details and windows. The applicant will be required to meet the commercial and industrial construction standards and design guidelines. The applicant has some work to do in order to comply with the design guidelines. All roof top and ground mounted mechanical equipment are required to be screened. All of these items will be worked through with a formal site plan application submittal. 3. EDA MEETING UPDATE: It its January 16, 2018, meeting the EDA reviewed and commented on this sketch plan. The EDA was generally comfortable with the site layout, architecture, and rezoning of the property. They talked about the importance of a transition and buffer to the residential properties to the east. The EDA recognized that the proposal was a rough sketch plan and expressed their excitement in seeing how the project progressed with a formal submittal. 4. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING UPDATE: It its January 25, 2018, meeting the Planning Commission reviewed and commented on this sketch plan. They were generally comfortable with the rezoning of the property to General Business (C-2), but stated the following items were important and should be incorporated into the site plan: • The number of cars parked/stored outdoors should be limited and screened from the residential properties to the east and Highway 61. • The architecture is important as it's on Highway 61. The building should be built out of quality materials. • Any roof top or ground mechanical equipment should be screened from view. The roof top mechanical equipment should be screened with the extension of the parapet walls of the building. • The lighting should be directed away from the residential properties to the east. • The transitions between the land uses should include ideas on how to abate noise. For example, the overhead doors should remain closed as work is being completed on the vehicles. TGK Automotive, Sketch Plan Page 5 The Planning Commission agreed that the rezoning seemed reasonable, however the site plan will be essential in making that decision. 5. CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION: The applicant has provided a sketch plan for the City Council to review. The applicant would like feedback on the site plan, architecture, and rezoning of the property. There are details on the plan that have not been fully evaluated since this is a sketch plan application. At the time a site plan application is submitted, they will be further evaluated with additional information that will be required. It's in staff's opinion that the important question is the rezoning of the property from NS to C-2. If the City Council is comfortable with the rezoning, they should discuss items that are important to the general layout and the how the property is used in regards to the transitions between land uses.

January 19, 2018 Ms. Rachel Juba City Planner City of Hugo 14669 Fitzgerald Avenue North Hugo, MN 55038 Re: Concept Plan Review TGK Automotive WSB Project No. 3288-00 Dear Ms. Juba: 701 Xenia Avenue South Suite 300 Minneapolis, MN 55416 Tel: 763-541-4800 Fax: 763-541-1700 We have reviewed the concept plan for TGK Automotive located on the east side of Highway 61 approximately 600 -ft south of 140th Street. Our review is based on the Sketch Plan dated 1/7/18. We will provide a more in-depth review of this project once detailed plans are provided by the applicant. Based on our review, we offer the following comments regarding the concept plan: Grading and Drainage 1. Storm Water Management: The applicant will need to obtain a permit from the City for their Storm Water Management Plan within the site, including the appropriate storage, rate control, treatment, and volume reduction. A drainage and utility easement will need to be dedicated over the proposed pond up to the 100 -year high water level of the pond and any propose outlet piping. The site can potentially support water reuse for landscaping around the buildings, and this should be explored in greater detail moving forward. Stormwater management requirements are listed below: a. The site must meet volume reduction requirements of treating 1.1 inches off new impervious areas. b. Rate control from the site must be less than existing for the 2 -year, and 10 -year rainfall event. Rate control for the 100 -year event must be limited to 0.1 cfs/acre. c. If the existing wetland is to be used for stormwater treatment, pretreatment must be provided prior to discharge into the wetland. d. Based on the wetland characteristics described in the NOA, the wetland is classified as "Slightly Susceptible". Bounce requirements and inundation period requirements are as follows: Permitted storm bounce for 2 -year and 10 -year event is existing plus 1 foot. Inundation period for the 2 -year event is existing plus 2 days. Inundation period for the 10 -year event is existing plus 14 days. e. Lowest building opening must be 3 feet above the 100 -year HWL of the existing wetlands and/or stormwater BMPs.

An easement must be established over stormwater management facilities, stormwater conveyances, ponds, wetlands, on-site floodplain up to the 100 -year flood elevation. g. Any offsite drainage must be included in the submitted drainage maps and models. Transportation/ROW 1. Access Locations: A single access from Highway 61 is proposed with the sketch plan. This access will require an access permit MnDOT before construction can begin in MNDOT right-of-way. 2. Right -of -Way: The site plan should include 39 -ft of right-of-way to be dedicated along the west edge of the site in accordance with the Highway 61 corridor plan. Sanitary Sewer Service 1. Sewer Improvements: Sanitary sewer service is available along the east side of the property with a 6" service stub extended into the site. Water Service 1. Watermain Improvements: Water service is available by connecting (wet tap) to the existing 6" watermain located along the east side of Highway 61 and the 6" watermain located in Pineview Meadows to allow proper looping of the watermain. A 20 -ft drainage and utility easement over the watermain should be incorporated to allow proper City maintenance. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this concept plan. If you have any questions or items you wish to discuss, you can contact me at 651-286-8463. Sincerely, WSB & Associates, Inc.
