Through the years …Native Americans were the fi rst inhabitants

of the area known as Prior Lake. Evidence of their very early culture has been found

in burial mounds, hawk eff igies and arrowhead and spear-point chippings. Two groups of the Dakota p e op le l a t e r hu nte d and f ished in the area, although their permanent settlements were in the

Minnesota River Valley.Initial white settlement in the Prior Lake area

was begun in the 1850s in anticipation of a railroad. In fact, the city’s name was taken from Charles A. Prior, who worked for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad and who owned land in the region.

Although the railroad allowed for agriculture-related development (i.e. a gristmill, general store, wheat storehouse and blacksmith), it led directly to the establishment of Prior Lake as a resort community. During the 1880s and 1890s, the Grainwood Hotel drew guests from all over the United States.

The “village” of Prior Lake was incorporated in 1891 as a result of increasing population.

In 1930, the Grainwood Hotel burned and was not rebuilt, but the resort area identity continued through the 1930s and 1940s. During these years, many Minneapolis and St. Paul residents built

A brief history of Prior Lake

and maintained summer cottages around the lake, in addition to a steadily growing number of permanent residents and businesses. It was not until the 1960s, however, that Prior Lake began to experience signifi cant growth as its identity changed from “resort area” to “suburban bedroom community,” creating ever-expanding needs for schools, businesses and community services. Today, nearly 23,000 people call Prior Lake home.

Prior Lake High School students welcome German exchange students last fall for a two-week visit to learn about American culture.

“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 community 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. Th e 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan document attempts to plan for just

that. It represents the areas of strategic importance identifi ed by the 2011 Long-Range Planning Committee and the planning process. To start the process, communities must fi rst 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.

Th e 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 defi nes our Vision and the key outcomes that must occur to make Prior Lake a wonderful place to live, work and play for a lifetime. Continued on page 12

Prior Lake

Other implementation eff orts and plans include the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, fi nancial 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 defi ning what is possible and test its will to commit to a great and exciting, rather than “good enough,” future.

Teams take the frigid plunge for Special Olympics Minnesota, raising more than $74, 000 at Sand Point Beach in Prior Lake. 2011 was the fourth year local law enforcement has hosted a Polar Bear Plunge in Prior Lake.


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 Jazz and Blues Festival, 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 Deerfi eld Business Park and in the growing downtown area. The city is served by an agressive Economic Development Authority and Economic Development Advisory Committee.

In its 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan, the city has identifi ed 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.

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/fl ower gardens, fl ower pots, hanging baskets, car washing and general use of power washers, city athletic complexes, landscaping, newly seeded or laid sod within fi rst 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 fi lling their swimming pools

until after May 21 because of the manner in which water bills are calculated. Call the water billing offi ce at 952-447-9843 with any questions.

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.

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 fi shermen, skating areas, sliding areas, or other areas where snowmobile operation would confl ict 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 fi ber 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, 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 Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. (please visit the website for up-to-date schedule information).

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)Scott County EnvironmentalHealth Dept. ..........................................................................952-496-8475 24-hour Information Line ...................................................................952-496-8787 HHW Information ...............................................................952-496-8652Web site ...................................................................www.co.scott.mn.us/hhw

Almost every home contains some household hazardous waste (HHW), hazardous products or chemicals that can harm human health or the environment if handled improperly. These are products normally used in cleaning, home improvement projects, automobile maintenance, lawn and garden care, hobbies, and a variety of other tasks. They might include paint, varnish, pesticides, household cleaning chemicals, solvents, fuels, wood stain or preservatives, rechargeable batteries, aerosol cans, fl uorescent lamps (including tubes and CFLs), mercury thermostats or thermometers, automotive chemicals or batteries, appliances, electronics, tires, as well as any other household products that are fl ammable, corrosive, reactive or poisonous. Each year, thousands of Americans are injured or poisoned

through incidents involving hazardous household products. Minimizing the amount of hazardous chemicals stored in your home is always a good idea for the sake of your family’s safety.

The Scott County HHW Facility will accept a variety of hazardous materials from Scott County residents. Many of these items are accepted at no charge — visit www.co.scott.mn.us/HHW for details. Please bring a check or cash for those chargeable items, since credit cards are not currently accepted. The facility is located at 588 Country Trail East (Highway 282) in Spring Lake Township, one-half mile west of the intersection of Highways 13 and 282, and County Road 17. The HHW Facility is open at the following times:

Wednesday: noon to 6 p.m. Thursday: noon to 4 p.m. Saturday: 8 a.m. to noon(Note: The RE-USE Room closes 15 minutes earlier)

The HHW Facility will be CLOSED for major holiday weekends, including Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving, as well as the period between Christmas and New Year’s.

The RE-USE Room is fi lled with a variety of good usable products, including paint, stain, varnish, thinner, putty, adhesives, household chemicals, yard and garden chemicals, automotive chemicals, electronics, etc., and all of these items are available for FREE (to anyone over the age of 18)! 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 Shopping.” 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 (fl uids such as gas, oil, or antifreeze). Other unacceptable 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.
