ABOUT PRIOR LAKE“Prior Lake”: Originally a resort community, the city has evolved from a 1-square-mile rural town of 400 people to a more than 18-square-mile com-munity of about 23,000 people. Located in Scott County, Prior Lake continues to manage growth and maintain its small town roots. Ultimately, with the addition of a 3,000-acre annexation, the city population is likely to grow to in excess of 40,000.

It’s hard to build an 18 square-mile city with 22,000 residents, 100 miles of roads, 1,000 acres of parkland, 80 miles of sidewalks and trails and 54 parks. The 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan document attempts to plan for just that. It represents the areas of strategic importance identified by the 2011 Long-Range Planning Committee and the planning process. To start the process, communities must first imagine what they want the future to be. Second, they must decide how they are going to make this desired future a reality.

Strategic planning is a process that brings people together to think about the future, create a vision, and invent ways to make this future happen through determination, community teamwork and disciplined actions. It is getting people together to achieve common goals and aspirations, to transform visions into reality.

The 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan is a document of what residents, business people, volunteers, councilmembers, committee members, City staff and others think. It is a broad blueprint for positive change that defines our Vision and the key outcomes that must occur to make Prior Lake a wonderful place to live, work and play for a lifetime.

Other implementation efforts and plans include the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, financial plans, and development and redevelopment plans which are policy and decision-making tools that assist the community, council and administration in achieving the Vision. But only a plan like the 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan will challenge and stretch the community’s imagination in defining what is possible and test its will to commit to a great and exciting, rather than “good enough,” future.

A Great Place for Business!Downtown Prior Lake continues to transform. Building on the momentum created by development of Lakefront Plaza, the Speiker Building (Edelweiss Bakery), and a major streetscape enhancement project, downtown is becom-ing more of a destination where people can shop, recreate, dine and socialize. Downtown features various eating establishments including Fongs, Edelweiss Bakery, VFW, Memories on Main and Sul Lago. Summer events downtown include the Farmer’s Market, the Lakefront Days celebration, Prior Lake Rotary Lakefront Music Fest, concerts in the park and Ladies Night Out.

Prior Lake also continues to move forward as an attractive community in which to open or expand a business, including in the Deerfield Business Park and in the growing downtown area. The city is served by an aggressive Economic Development Authority and Economic Development Advisory Committee.

In its 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan, the city has identified economic and community development as major element. To learn more about Prior Lake or to share comments, call City Hall at 952-447-9800 or visit the city’s Web site at www.cityofpriorlake.com.

CITY ORDINANCESLawn MaintenanceWeeds & Grass

Weeds and grass are not permitted to grow higher than 12 inches. If they do, the city may have them cut at the property owner’s expense. Questions about weeds should be directed to the Building and Transportation Services Department at 952-447-9850.

Water UsageSprinkling Restrictions

All outside sprinkling, irrigation, car washing and other non-essential outdoor use of the Municipal Water System is restricted to an odd/even system in conjunction with a 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily ban, effective May 1 to Oct. 1. Residents with house addresses ending in an even house number may water lawns or use an outside hose before 10 a.m. and after 5 p.m. only on even-numbered calendar days. Residents with house addresses ending in an odd house number may water lawns or use an outside hose before 10 a.m. and after 5 p.m. only on odd-numbered calendar days. Exceptions are made for hand-held hose watering of vegetable/flower gardens, flower pots, hanging baskets, car washing and general use of power washers, city athletic complexes, landscaping, newly seeded or laid sod within first 30 days of placement and pumping from the lake. To qualify for this exception, you must complete a sprinkling permit form. These forms are available at city hall, online, or by calling 952-447-9800. Private wells and pumping from lakes are exempt from these restrictions.

Impact of Swimming PoolsFor monetary savings, residents should delay filling their swimming pools until after May 21 because of the manner in which water bills are calculated. Call the water billing office at 952-447-9843 with any questions.

Winter RegulationsSnow Removal

To facilitate snow and ice removal, parking is not allowed on city streets (including downtown) between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. daily, beginning Nov. 1 and ending March 31. Violators will be ticketed. Streets, alleys and municipal parking lots are usually plowed within 24 hours after a snowfall. Major thoroughfares and collectors streets are given priority, followed by residential streets and alleys.

Sidewalks/Fire HydrantsFrom a liability perspective and in consideration of guests and customers, property owners are responsible for shoveling sidewalks and clearing snow from around fire hydrants.

Nuisance ControlNoise/Odor Ordinance

Generally, noise that can disturb others in a residential area should not occur before 7 a.m. and after 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Any noise that is a potential health hazard or nuisance is prohibited. This includes excessive noise from vehicles, animals, stereos, musical instruments and people. Gatherings with 50 persons or more with amplified music require an outdoor concert permit. Snowblowers are exempt from the noise ordinance, but residents are asked to use common sense and neighborly courtesy. Lawn mowers and other power equipment, including construction tools, may be operated from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.

Snowmobile OperationSnowmobiles may be operated from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays, and 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and New Year’s Eve. When operating on private property (other than marked trails), snowmobilers must have written permission of the property owners in their possession. Unless otherwise stated, operation on public property may not occur within 100 feet of fishermen, skating areas, sliding areas, or other areas where snowmobile operation would conflict with the general use of the area or in parks except for a very limited area on the lakefront. Snowmobiles are limited in the downtown area for safety and to preserve streetscaping. Call the Police Department at 952-440-3555 for more information.

SCOTT COUNTYAs Scott County continues to lead the state in population growth, progress is evident throughout the community. Over the last several years, Scott County has managed to keep its budget in check while still investing in its residents’ future: from the acquisition of new parks and green spaces to developing highly successful transit partnerships (the BlueXpress commuter line and the SmartLink transit cooperative), from the construction of two new mixed-use library facilities to installing a high-tech f iber optic ring, Scott County is truly committed to its new vision: “Where individuals, families, and businesses thrive.”Residents are encouraged to keep current on County news through viewing Board meetings (available online in “real time” and on-demand), visiting the website (www.co.scott.mn.us), tuning in to local government access cable for meeting coverage and other programming, following the county on Face-book and reading the award-winning resident newsletter (The Scott County SCENE). In addition, you can become more directly involved by volunteering with various community groups, serving on a citizen advisory committee, or by attending County board meetings and workshops, which are held on most Tues-days at 9:00 a.m. (please visit the website for up-to-date schedule information).

A trip to the RE-USE Room as you plan your next home improvement or craft project could certainly save you some money! Reduce the amount of HHW your family produces by practicing “Smart Shop-ping.” Measure carefully, buy only what you need, and then use what you buy. Store any leftovers carefully, and protect from freezing, so that they will remain usable.Please note: The HHW Facility can not accept automotive chemicals in containers larger than 2½ gallons in size (fluids such as gas, oil, or antifreeze). Other unaccept-able items include: household garbage, unknown materials, business waste (call for an appointment), radioactive items or sharps (needles). Regular alkaline batteries can be thrown in your household trash.
