preparation of the Community Facilities Plan ; refinement of the
Land Use and Transportation Plans ; detailing of the central
business district plan ; and preparation of alternatives for future
multiple family development. All the foregoing material was
discussed with the Planning Commission , interested citizens , and
Hugo businessmen on February 14th .
The Planning Commission added one additional goal which they
would like to see achieved during the twenty year planning period ,
and that is to publicly acquire lakeshore land for park and open
space purposes . This desire will be reflected in the final
Community Facilities plan . (Sites suggested are on Egg and Sunset
Lakes . )
The PlanningCommission also gave the Hugo businessmen the authority
to proceed with their own plans for commercial development , primarily
in the "old" Village area . These plans will be considered in
reaching a decision on the final detailing of the commercial plan
and subsequent zoning ordinance .
Activities of the consultant in March will be geared towards fin-
alizing all elements of the Comprehensive Development Plan . Prior
to achieving this goal the consultant and available Hugo citizens
will present the preliminary sketch plan to the Metropolitan
Council staff for their input as to the plan ' s comformance to ele-
ments of their Metropolitan Development Guide . Subsequent to this
meeting the plan narrative will be written for presentation at
the March 14th Hugo Planning Commission study meeting . Material
will also be presented at the March 14th meeting pertaining to the
zoning ordinance and an Action Program needed to implement the
Comprehensive Plan .
