SUM MARY/PURPOSE
The purpose of this Policy is to define and outline snow, and ice control objectives and procedures as
established by the City of Prior Lake.
The City of Prior Lake believes that it is in the best interest of the residents for the City to assume basic
responsibility for control of snow and ice on City streets. Reasonable ice and snow control is necessary
for routine travel and emergency services. The City will attempt to provide such control in a safe and
cost-effective manner, keeping in mind safety, budget, personnel and environmental concerns. The City
will use City employee's, City owned or rented equipment and/or private contractors to provide the
following level of service:
Street Snow Removal - Level of Service
Snow Accumulation 1-2" 3-6" 6"+
Removal Time (hrs)
Pavement Above 15°F 8 11-13 13+
Removal Time (hrs)
Pavement Below 15°F 10 13+ 13+
Note: Removal time is the time necessary to remove snow
from all City Streets at least one time.
Parks/ Trails/ Sidewalks/ Parking Lots - Level of Service
Snow Accumulation 1-3" 4-12" 12"+
Removal Time (hrs) 10 1-2 days 2-4 days
City of Prior Lake
Winter Maintenance Policy
1
It should be noted that every winter storm has different temperatures and intensities that can alter the
amount of time crews spend with snow and ice control. The absence of even one employee, the break-
down of one piece of equipment, or not replacing equipment that has become unreliable or requires
repairs and maintenance that are not cost-effective can also alter snow and ice control and removal time
This policy supersedes any and all previously written or unwritten policies of the City regarding snow and
ice removal. The Public Works Department wil l review this policy periodically and will amend it as
appropriate.
WHEN WILL CITY START SNOW OR ICE CONTROL OPERATIONS?
The Maintenance Superintendent or his/her designee will decide when to begin anti -icing, snow
removal, or ice control operations. The criteria for that decision are:
1. Air and Pavement Temperatures
2. Anti-Icing operations may occur 48 hours in advance of an approaching storm, anticipated frost
or prior to weekends in which forecasts call for some form of precipitation
3. Drifting of snow that causes problems for travel
4. Icy conditions which seriously affect travel
5. Time of snowfall in relationship to heavy use of streets
Snow and ice control operations are expensive and involve the use of limited personnel and equipment.
In order to remain cost effective, the Public Works Department will utilize a variety of ice control
products and continually monitor the effectiveness, environmental impact and costs of each product
applied. The Maintenance Superintendent or hi s/her designee will determine the appropriate
combination of chemicals to effectively control ice in the given weather conditions. Effects on the
environment are of the highest priority in selection of ice control products.
To assure completion of priority areas, snow removal may be conducted on a 24 -hour basis, which may
result in snow removal equipment being operated in residential areas during the evening, night, and
early morning hours.
ANTI-ICING
This is a more common practice of being proactive to an impending snowfall or frost event. This practice
prevents the snow or frost from bonding or compacting to the pavement surface and providing direct
contact to the pavement surface when traveling the residential streets at a much lower cost than
applying dry salt products. The product in most cases is salt brine, which is chloride diluted to a 23%
solution with water. In relevant terms, one gallon of brine consists of 2 pounds of salt.
HOW SNOW WILL BE PLOWED
Snow will be plowed in a manner that minimizes any traffic obstructions. Generally, the center of the
roadway will be plowed first. The snow shall then be pushed from left to right. The discharge shall go
onto the boulevard area of the street . In times of extreme snowfall, the process of clearing the streets of
snow may be delayed, and it may not be reasonably possible to completely clear the streets of snow.
City of Prior Lake
Winter Maintenance Policy
2
Generally, operations shall continue until all roads are passable. Wi dening and clean-up operations may
continue immediately or on the following working day depending upon conditions and circumstances .
Due to safety concerns for the plow operators and the public, operations may be terminated after 10 -12
hours to allow personnel adequate time for rest.
Cul-de-sacs will be plowed with one pass along the curb to provide an outlet for the driveways, with
snow being piled in the middle of the cul -de-sac, where possible. Crews will clean up the cul -de-sac later
that day or the following work day as time permits. Snow removal will only occur when no storage space
is available in the cul-de-sac area.
DOWNTOWN SNOW REMOVAL
The downtown area will be plowed from right-of-way to right-of-way (generally storefront to storefront)
with the snow pushed into piles where feasible. Crews will remove the snow piles during non -business
hours on the day of the event if possible. Snow removal operations may also be delayed depending on
weather conditions, time of day, personnel and budget availability.
SNOW REMOVAL
The Maintenance Superintendent or his/her designee will determine when snow will be removed by
truck from an area. Such snow removal will occur in areas where there is no room on the boulevard for
snow storage and in areas where piles of snow have been created by City crews. Snow removal
operations will not commence until other snowplowing operations have been completed. Snow removal
operations may also be delayed depending on weather conditions, personnel and budget availabili ty.
The snow will be removed and hauled to a snow storage area.
PRIORITIES AND SCHEDULE FOR SNOW REMOVAL
The City has categorized City streets, facilities, trails, sidewalks and recreational facilities based on the
function, use volume, and importance to the welfare of the community.
Streets
Priority Snow Plow Routes: These are high volume streets that connect major sections of the City and
provide access for emergency fire, police and medical services.
Daytime Snow Emergency Routes: These are high volume streets that are critical to general traffic flow and
access for the City.
School and Commercial Routes: These are high to medium volume streets that provide access to key
areas in the City.
Medium Volume Residential Streets: These are medium volume streets that provide access to multiple
properties.
Low Volume Residential Streets: These are low volume streets providing access to a limited number of
properties. These routes include cul -de-sacs and alleys.
City of Prior Lake
Winter Maintenance Policy

Non-Street Facilities
Non-Street Facilities are categorized according to the following three priorit ies :
HIGH PRIORITY MEDIUM PRIORITY LOW PRIORITY
Safety High Use Recreation Community Trails
Emergency Hockey Rinks Pleasure Rinks
School Access
Public Facility-Building Access
Time tables for snow removal are based upon the priority of the particular trail, sidewalk , parking lot,
skating rink or access as set forth below.
Priorities
Priority 1 - Those streets classified as " Snow Plow Routes" will be plowed first. These are high volume
streets, which connect major sections of the City and provide access for emergency fire, police and
medical services. Exhibit A maps the "Priority Snow Plow Routes " and the "Daytime Snow Emergency
Routes." Non-street facilities classified as "High" Priority on Exhibit B include the Fire Halls , Downtown,
and pedestrian routes for schools and public safety .
Priority 2 - Streets providing access to schools and commercial businesses
Priority 3 - Low volume residential streets and alleys
Priority 4 - Medium priority non -street facilities
Priority 5 - Low priority non-street facilities
PARKING RESTRICTIONS
City Code 901.207 Winter Parking Rest r estrictions: In order to expedite the prompt and efficient removal
of snow from the Streets of the City, it is unlawful for any Person to stop, stand or park any Vehicle or
permit it to stand on any Street within the City between the hours of two o'clock (2:00) A.M. and six
o'clock (6:00) A.M. from November 1 until March 31 of the following year. At all other times of the year it
is unlawful for any Person to stop , stand or park any Vehicle or permit it to stand on any public Street
within the City between the hours of two o'clock (2:00) A.M. and six o'clock (6:00) A.M. after a continuous
or intermittent snowfall during which there has been an accumulation of two inches (2") or more of snow
on any Street, the Maintenance Superintendent or designee has issued a snow emergency, and until the
snow has been plowed or removed to the full width of the Str eet. Any Vehicle parked in violation of this
subsection may be towed pursuant to Minnesota Statutes section 169.041. A violation of this
subsection shall be a petty misdemeanor.

WORK SCHEDULE FOR SNOW AND ICE CONTROL EQUIPMENT OPERATORS
Equipment operators will be expected to work eight to ten hour shifts on a regular basis. In severe snow
emergencies, operators sometimes have to work in excess of ten -hour shifts. After a twelve-hour day,
the operators will be replaced if additional qualified personnel are available.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
Snow and ice control operations will normally be conducted only when weather conditions do not
endanger the safety of City employees and equipment. Factors that may delay snow and ice control
operations include: severe cold, significant winds, and limited visibility.
USE OF SALT AND OTHER CHEMICALS
The City will use salt and other chemicals when there is hazardous ice or slippery conditions. The City is
concerned about the cost and the effect of such chemicals on the environment and may limit its use for
that reason.
SIDEWALKS/TRAILS/PARKING LOTS
Trails, Sidewalks, and Accesses
The City has classified all sidewalks and trails. These classifications were used to develop the
Trails/Sidewalks Maintenance Map show on Exhibit C. The following standards are adopted for providing
winter maintenance to designated trails, sidewalks, parking lots, and winter lake access:
1. Sidewalks and trails which abut private property shall not normally be cleared of snow unless
designated within this Policy. It shall be the re sponsibility of the property owner to keep
sidewalks clear of snow or ice in accordance with City Code 701.100. If notice has been sent to
owner/occupant and snow has not been removed, the City may choose to remove the snow and
ice and charge the cost of removal to the property owner. The property owner would first
receive an invoice showing the appropriate charges. Failing to pay the invoice would result in a
one-year special assessment against the benefiting property. There is a minimum of $100 flat
fee (or as determined periodically by the City Council) for snow removal, and the City reserves
the right to charge additional fees as may be reasonable and appropriate.
Exceptions to this standard are as follows;
a. Sidewalk/trail immediately adjacent to curb or with less than 3 feet of boulevard
between sidewalk/trail and curb.
b. Sidewalk/trail along school routes (non -bus zone).
c. Sidewalk/trail adjacent to City property.
d. Sidewalk/Trail located in high use recreational areas.
2. The designated sidewalks, trails, parking lots, accesses, and rinks are normally plowed, blown or
swept. The method of snow removal depends on the amount and type of snowfall.
City of Prior Lake
Winter Maintenance Policy
5
3. Designated trails and sidewalks wi ll be cleared as thoroughly as possible but need not be cleared
of all ice and snow, nor maintained to bare pavement.
4. City facilities and downtown sidewalks will be treated with salt or other chemical to reduce ice
by City staff as time permits. Other sidewalks and trails throughout the City will not be salted or
treated with chemicals.
Skating Rinks
The following standards are adopted for providing winter maintenance to hockey and pleasure ice-
skating rinks.
1. All rinks (with warming houses) will be swept and flooded Monday through Friday, if needed.
2. If rinks become rough or uneven due to weather conditions, i.e., warm weather, frost boils, or
freezing rain, rinks will be shaved as time allows during normal working hours.
3. In the event of snow:
a. No rink will be maintained until snow fall ceases.
b. Maintenance crews will generally maintain rinks during normal working hours. The
Maintenance Superintendent or Parks Foreman may decide to call in a crew on weekends or
holidays to maintain rinks, if snow fall exceeds 2" AND it provides efficiency to remove snow
(i.e. freezing conditions).
c. Hockey rinks are ranked as a medium priority and therefore will not be maintained until high
priority winter operations are completed.
d. Pleasure rinks (with warming houses) a re ranked as a low priority and therefore will not be
maintained until high and medium winter operations are completed.
4. If the condition of the ice becomes a safety concern, rinks may be closed at the discretion of the
Maintenance Superintendent or his/her designee .
5. For safety reasons, the City has a weather policy which determines rink closing. The warming
house and rinks will be closed if the actual air temperature is -5 degrees Fahrenheit or colder, or
the wind chill is -25 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. The weather cancellation hotline is
952.447 .9825
RIGHT-OF-WAY USE
The intent of the right -of-way is to provide room for snow storage, public and private utilities, sidewalks,
street lights, signage and other City uses. Howe ver certain private improvements such as mailboxes are
permitted within this area. Other private improvements are not permitted.
Mailbox
Mailboxes must be installed in such a manner as to provide access by Post Office personnel or other
parcel carriers and to allow for Public Works equipment to maintain the streets. Newspaper boxes
installed under mailboxes in most cases do not allow for snow equipment to pass under and can cause
an indirect hit to the mailbox. A drawing showing the proper details for ma ilbox placement is attached as
Exhibit D. Mailboxes and posts should be constructed securely enough to withstand snow rolling off a
City of Prior Lake
Winter Maintenance Policy

plow or wing. Any posts that are rotten or too weak to withstand winter weather will not be the
responsibility of the City.
Each incident of mailbox damage will be reviewed by Public Works Staff to determine whether the
mailbox damage was from the plow or snow load . After review, staff will contact the resident with their
determination within a timely manner. If it is determined that the plow hit the mailbox, the City will install
a replacement mailbox and post whic h shall be a standard size non-decorative type; or the mailbox
owner will be reimbursed up to $75.00 toward the cost of a replacement mailbox . The City will make
temporary repairs to mailboxes or set up a temporary mailbox to ensure the resident can conti nue to
receive mail until conditionals allow for replacement in the spring. Mailbox damage must be reported to
the City by May 15th for consideration of replacement.
Damage resulting from snow is the responsibility of the property owner/ resident . Removing snow from
the mailbox and maintaining access to the mailbox is the responsibility of the property owner.
A property owner assumes all risk and responsibilities for replacement of mailboxes and supports that
are constructed of materials such as, but n ot limited to, brick and mortar, stone aggregate, ornamental
railings, or antique type support.
Snow plow operators make every effort to remove snow as close to the curb line as practical to provide
access to mailboxes for the postal department. It is not possible to provide perfect conditions and
minimize damage to mailboxes with the size of equipment the City operates. The final cleaning adjacent
to mailboxes is the responsibility of each resident.
Boulevard Turf Repair
The City shall, when it receives a complaint, record the location of alleged damage to turf caused by
contact with City equipment. All complaints shall be submitted by May 15th for review. The location
will be reviewed by the Public Works Department in the spring when the extent of the alleged
damage can be verified. Frequently, the damage looks more severe immediately after the occurrence
than it does when the snow has melted in the spring. If the turf needs repair as determined by the Public
Works Department, the Public Works Department shall seed the damaged area. The City will
determine the appropriate boulevard turf repair material based on site conditions, materials and
available City resources. Once staff has restored the area it will then be the resident's responsibility to
water and maintain the damaged area. The City provides replacement costs for one (1) restoration
service.
To reduce the areas of damaged turf by City equipment, the City will provide markers free of charge to
residents to place along their curb to mark the edge of the road for the equipment operators. Markers
can be picked up at City Hall from October throughout the winter season. If there is damage to a
boulevard area caused by City equipment, the City mainten ance crews will give priority to those
residents who placed the markers along their property.
City of Prior Lake
Winter Maintenance Policy

Irrigation, Lighting, Trees, Fences, Etc.
The City will assume no responsibility for damage to underground irrigation systems, private lighting
systems, trees, shrubs, specialty grasses, rocks, fences, underground dog containment wires, retaining
walls, basketball hoops or similar landscaping installed in City controlled right s-of-way or easements.
Garbage cans and recycle bins left for pickup by a resident must be located in the driveway of the
residence. Storage of garbage cans and recycle bins in the roadway surface in which snow is to be
removed requires extra staff time due to potential future drainage issues from the inability to clean to
the curb line and safety issues during the snow removal process.
Driveway or Private Street Access
The City of Prior Lake reminds everyone, including commercial snow removal operators, that Minnesota
Statute 160.27 states that it is against the law to deposit snow on to a public roadway. Dumping or
plowing snow on to a roadway can create a slippery area, frozen rut or bump, which could contribute to
a motor vehicle and pedestrian accident. Snow forts and children playing in the vicinity of the curb are
strongly discouraged for safety.
To minimize property owner inconvenience when the street is plowed following a private driveway being
cleared. First, place as much snow as possible from the end of the driveway downstream in the
direction of traffic. Second, clear an area upstream from the driveway to create an open "pocket". Much
of the snow pushed by the plow truck will empty into this pocket an d less will be placed in the driveway
entrance. This must be maintained throughout the winter to be effective.
The City of Prior Lake cautions anyone working close to a roadway to watch for oncoming traffic and
warns drivers to be alert to people clearing snow. Unknown objects left in the snow may be displaced
from the snow movement from the snow plow vehicle.
