Subject: Progress Report on Hugo Comprehensive ve p Planning Program Activities of the Planning Consultant for the month of January were centered in the preparation of the sketch or preliminary plan map , primarily in the areas of land use and transportation . This material was presented and discussed with the Planning Commission and inter- ested citizens at the study meeting of January 10th . An urban/rural line of demarcation was arrived at in January and it is coterminous with the service area boundary of the Metropolitan Sewer Board ' s Sewer District #1 . This means that all future urban type growth and development will be directed to the area of the village west of this line , since sanitary sewer services hopefully soon will be available in this area to support the proposed higher density development. A more rural type character will be advocated east of this line, with larger residential lots to be accomodated , relying solely on on-site sewer systems (septic tanks , drain fields , etc. ) and individual private wells . Considerable dialogue has taken place this month with members of the Village Council , the Washington County Highway Engineer , and staff members of the Metropolitan Council and Metropolitan Sewer - Board on topics relevant to the preparation of transportation (thoroughfares ) and community facilities plan elements . A great deal of community facilities assistance and information has also been obtained from conversations with Mr. Carl Nordquist , President of the Hugo Snowmobile Club , and Mr. Funk , Principal of the Hugo Elementary School . Cooperation of the townspeople continues to be excellent in the continued formulation of the comprehensive develop- ment plan. Activities of the consultant in February will be directed towards the completion of the community facilities , land use , and transpor- tation plan elements . The February 14th Planning Commission study meeting will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of the community facilities plan; some refinement to the thoroughfares plan ; a more detailed look at the potential of the central business district (downtown area ) of "old" Hugo ; and discussion of the recently adopted subdivision regulations .
