Introduction to the Resident’s Guide

Welcome to the 2013-14 Savage Resident’s Guide. This Savage Pacer publication is a comprehensive directory of information and resources used by Savage businesses and residents, especially

those who are new to the area.

The Resident’s Guide is a compilation of that valuable information — a single source for lists of local services, organizations, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Keep it handy; use if often.

Our apologies in advance for omissions or for changes that occur after publication. The challenge in publishing this Resident’s Guide is not only collecting accurate and important information, but keeping that information current in one of the Twin Cities’ fastest-growing areas.

If you would like additional copies of this publication, call our Circulation Department at 952-345-6682.

Hamilton, Glendale, Savage. So great have been the changes in this river town that it has had three names.

A steamboat landing, located at the mouth of the Credit River where it empties into the Minnesota River, marked the beginning of the town of Hamilton. Before the arrival of the fi rst white settlers — most of them Irish and Scottish — Dakota Indians lived throughout the Minnesota Valley.

The community has been shaped by its transportation connection — wagon trail, river, rail and roadway — and by its role as a farm trade-service center. Hamilton was established as a town on Nov. 20, 1857. In was incorporated on Aug. 31, 1892. The fi rst post offi ce, Hamilton Station, was renamed Glendale Post Offi ce in October 1894.

In 1902, Marion W. Savage, a prominent Minneapolis businessman, purchased 400 acres of land on the south side of the river and proceeded to build a mosque-like horse stable and an unrivaled half-mile covered track. In the same year, he acquired the famous Dan Patch, who on Sept. 8, 1906 startled the world by pacing the mile at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in the record-breaking time of 1:55. He became the only harness horse in racing history to break the two-minute barrier 35 times.

Apart from physical prowess, Dan Patch was a crowd pleaser. He would nod his head to a cheering crowd, stop for cameras, and stare straight into the lens as pictures were taken. Dan, who traveled across the country in a luxurious 65-foot railroad car, was a personality, a hero to kids across America, as were Lassie and Rin Tin Tin.

Marion W. Savage, the son of an Iowa country doctor, was the founder of International Stock Foods, a Minneapolis stock feed and veterinary supply company. With Dan Patch the center of his advertising campaign, Savage amassed a fortune. At Christmastime, the benevolent entrepreneur would hitch Dan to a cutter and transport gifts to the poor of Minneapolis.

When the horse died in 1916, Savage died 32 hours later. It was an un-timely death, said to have been caused by a broken heart.

So fascinated were local residents by Savage, and the fairy tale-like story of his horse, they decided the town should be called Savage. Grazing horses, spotted here and there across the community, still suggest the glorious days of old, a time when world famous stallion Dan Patch made local history.

Savage remained a relatively small town for the next several decades, and it was not until after World War II that residential development began above the river bluffs. The war years did, however, have some major impacts on the community.

In 1941, Cargill Inc. started a shipbuilding yard near the Minnesota Riv-er. Several ocean-going tankers were constructed for the U.S. Navy. After the war, the facility was changed to a grain-handling port.

Also, Camp Savage, a branch of the U.S. Army, opened in April 1941 as a military intelligence language camp for servicemen of Japanese-American (Nisei) ancestry. A commemorative plaque and trees help memorialize the site.

On April 28, 1969, the Village of Savage was consolidated with the adja-cent Glendale Township to form the current 17-square-mile city of Savage.

The horse, a symbol of the city’s past, also may be viewed as a beacon for its future. While the working farm slowly gave way to urbanization, the city of Savage continues to celebrate and honor its natural amenities — wooded hills and streams — that provide unique lifestyle opportunities.

McColl Pond Environmental Learning and Event Center

The McColl Pond Environmental Learning and Event Center, located at Savage Community Park, opened in early 2009. Constructed from recycled materials, the LEED-certifi ed building is a model for sustainable design and a place where people of all ages can learn more about protecting our resources. Features include two classrooms, a large gathering space for 80-100 people, and an outdoor covered patio that has a capacity of 100. The McColl Pond Environmental Learning and Event Center was funded through public and private funds, and may be rented for meetings, gatherings and celebrations. Call 952-224-3420 or visit www.cityofsavage.com for more information.

About the CommunitySavage’s environmental assets include the Minnesota River, which forms

the city’s northern border; the 500-acre Savage Fen Wetland Complex, which contains some of the largest calcareous fens in the state; Eagle Creek, one of the last Brown Trout streams in the metro area; and Boiling Springs, a historical landmark.

A major industry in Savage is shipping, due to the community’s location on the Minnesota River. Five private facilities operate along the banks of the river to form the Ports of Savage.

The community also offers a large retail base, which includes grocery stores, a variety of restaurants, retail stores and service shops. In addition, downtown Savage has seen renewed energy in recent years, thanks to new businesses and a redevelopment grant program through the city and Chamber of Commerce.

Recreational opportunities are provided through 23 city parks, a regional park and hundreds of miles of sidewalks and trails. Savage Life Time Fitness Recreation and Aquatics Center offers residents and visitors an outdoor pool and a state-of-the-art health club. The center was built through a partner-ship between Life Time and the city of Savage. Residents of Savage receive a discount on admission to the outdoor pool.

The City of Savage provides municipal services to 27,325 residents and more than 500 businesses. More than 136 full- and part-time employees work in seven departments that include administration,

fi nance, public works, community development, police and liquor operations. A paid on-call volunteer fi re department consists of 40 members who live or work in Savage. The department's only full-time staff are the fi re chief and deputy fi re chief.

A city administrator appointed by a fi ve-member city council oversees all city operations. The council is responsible for setting policy to guide the development and provision of programs and services provided to the com-munity. The council consists of a mayor and four council members, who each serve four-year terms.

City of Savage services are funded through several revenue sources and vari-ous budgets. The general fund supports general operations with a 2013 budget

of $12.5 million. Property taxes provide 80 percent of the revenue for the general fund, with licenses and permits, engineering and plan review fees and intergovernmental revenues accounting for the balance.

Special revenue budgets, sup-ported in part or entirely by inde-

pendent funding sources, provide for cable access initiatives, maintenance for the Savage Public Library and economic development efforts. Other budgets for the city include the water and sewer operations, stormwater and liquor operating funds.

City operations have expanded considerably over the past two decades in response to a rapidly growing population. Once a rural community, Savage’s population has increased from 4,000 to 27,325 in the past 25 years. A new city hall, police facility, fi re station, water treatment plant, library, indoor sports center and liquor store were built during that time frame.

Savage Sports CenterA sports facility with a seasonal, infl atable dome was built in the fall of

2012 in Savage's Community Park. The city owns and operates the facil-ity, while scheduling and payments are managed by an outside fi rm. The facility offers fi elds and open spaces for residents, youth organizations and adult leagues, and free walking hours. The Savage Chamber of Commerce's

accumulated (and usually after it quits snowing). Collectors and arterial streets are plowed fi rst, then minor arterials.

Snow Removal, Sidewalks — City crews remove snow from sidewalks and trails along collector streets and major roads.

Snow Removal, Citizen Responsibilities — Residents are responsible for ensuring their mailbox is secured to withstand snow being pushed against it by the plows. Snow removal responsibilities include keeping all fi re hydrants open and accessible in case of emergencies and clearing sidewalks that are

on the front and/or side of private property within 24 hours of a snowfall. It is unlawful to deposit snow that has been cleared from driveways, sidewalks, mailboxes and fi re hydrants into the street.

RestrictionsFences — No permit is required for fences that are 6 feet and lower. There

are height limitations based on location of the fence. Check with the Plan-ning Division for more information.

Garage Sales — The annual number of occasions per property is limited to three. Signs should not be placed on utility poles or within road right-of-way.

Mailboxes — Mailboxes should be set back 1 to 2 inches behind the curb and the bottom of the box should be 40 inches above street level.

Recreational Vehicles — Up to three recreational vehicles may be parked/stored on a residential lot, provided the vehicles are operable, licensed and without need for repair. They may be parked in a rear or side yard, minimum of 5 feet from a property line, or during the season, in the driveway. Only motor homes of less than 34 feet may be parked/stored on a residential lot. For details, call the city.

Snowmobiles — No snowmobile may be operated in the city except while loading or unloading a snowmobile from a trailer or similar form of transport, while performing maintenance and repair of a snowmobile within 300 feet of the registered owner's place of residence, for direct snowmobile trail access to or from the closest designated snow trail, or on a designated snowmobile trail.

Outdoor Water Use — An odd-even watering restriction is in effect throughout the year to ensure a continuing supply of water to residents. All residents whose house number ends with an odd number may water only on odd-numbered days; those with an even-numbered address may water only on even-numbered days. On these specifi ed days, residents may water lawns or use an outside hose at any time of day except between the hours of noon and 5 p.m. Newly seeded or sodded lawns may be watered daily during the allowed hours for up to 30 days after installation.

Ponds and Wetlands — A buffer of at least 17 feet is required on all ponds, and from 17 to 50 feet on wetlands even if they are on private prop-erty. Residents may not mow, plant or place anything within this buffer. The buffer is intended to help clarify the water that runs into the ponds and wetlands. In addition to abiding by the buffer requirement, residents are encouraged to limit their use of fertilizer, as this can accelerate the growth of algae and other plants in the ponds.

Water ConservationThe City of Savage encourages residents to use water wisely to ensure

an adequate community supply and lower water bills, which are sent out at the end of each month. Water rates apply according to the amount of water used: Those using less than 12,000 gallons of water a month pay the lowest fees per 1,000 gallons used. The rates increase for those using 12,000 gallons or more, and increase again for thsoe who use 16,000 gal-lons or more.

Outdoor water restrictions are in place throughout the year to encourage conservation and assist citizens in keeping their water usage volumes reason-able (see section on Ordinances, Licenses and Permits).

Residents may also wish to check their homes for leaks. This can be done by reading your water meter at night after the day's water use has ended, and again in the morning before any water is used. The difference be-tween the fi rst and second reading will indicate whether any water leaked overnight, and how much. If a leak is suspected, check pipes, fi xtures and appliances.

Water softeners are recommended, with a setting of 20 grains of hardness.

Scott County

A s Scott County continues to lead the state in population growth, prog-ress is evident throughout the community. Over the last several years, Scott County has managed to keep its budget in check while still in-

vesting 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 web-site (www.co.scott.mn.us), tuning in to local government access cable for meeting coverage and other programming, following the county on Facebook, and reading the award-winning resident newsletter (The Scott County SCENE). In addi-tion, you can become more directly involved by volunteering with various com-munity 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 web site for up-to-date schedule information).

Almost every home contains some household hazardous waste (HHW), hazardous products or chemicals that can harm human health or the environ-ment 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, pes-ticides, household cleaning chemicals, solvents, fuels, wood stain or preserva-tives, 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 prod-ucts 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 ma-terials from Scott County residents. Many of these items are accepted at no

The goal of the District Health Service's department is to provide for the health and safety of students to enable them to fully participate in the classroom and benefi t from their education. Please contact the health offi ce if your child has a medical condition or will need medication or treatments to be administered.

In order for students to enroll or remain enrolled in elementary or sec-ondary school, Minnesota State Law requires documentation of required immunization or written proof of exemption. Students are required to be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measels, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, and varicella. It is not required for your child to have all immunization series completed in order to begin school, but must be actively in progress to receive the series or have written proof of exemption in order to enroll.

Founded in 1959, St. John the Baptist Catholic School is an academi-cally rigorous grade school guided by Catholic values. Located in Savage, the school offers education from preschool through eighth grade. Students encounter learning in a spiritual and enriching environment. Our goal is to have students grow in their faith, build self-respect and learn how to care for others. Class sizes average in the low 20's per room; therefore, the teachers develop a great understanding of each individual child in their classroom. The students at St. John's consistently score well above the state and national levels on their standardized tests. The eighth grade students feed into ap-


proximately 12 different private and public high schools, and nearly 80% of the St. John's graduates take Advanced Placement classes in high school. In addition to gaining academic skills and experience, the students are engaged in the learning process and encouraged to develop intellectual interest as well as analytical skills.

Is your child struggling?Nearly 80% of all learning and reading

difficulties in the U.S. are caused by weak

cognitive skills. Difficulties often appear as:

• Homework hassles

• Reading or math problems

• Poor comprehension

• Inattention or loss of focus

• Organizational issues

• Slipping grades

We can help!We use a battery of tests to identify areas

for cognitive improvement. Then, we pair

each student with a personal trainer for

intense mental workouts that strengthen,

reorganize and even create new neural

pathways. The results are amazing: enhanced

memory, increased learning speed and

comprehension, greater confidence, better

attention, improved grades, and higher IQs.

LOCAL SUCCESS

Victor (12), Bloomington,struggledwith emotional, behavioral

and self-esteem issues−and in all areas of

academics. Hismomadmits: “Victor’s issues

caused a lot of stress in our home.”With

the help of LearningRx, Victor improved his

grades and even earned academic rewards!

Hismom says the real benefit was the change

in their son’s personality and their family

dynamics. “Because of this experience,

Victor grew to be confident, self-aware, and

emotionally intelligent−andwe became the

parents we always wanted to be.”

At LearningRx, you can train your brain to improve learning! Our research-based program

strengthens the core cognitive skills students need to think faster, learn easier, improve their

attention, read, and comprehend better. And that means improved mental performance in the

classroom, at home, and even playing sports.

There’s a reason your child is struggling.More importantly, there’s a solution.

Call us today to schedule a Cognitive Skills Assessment and learn more.
