THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS:
1. Subsection 1102.700 (3) of the Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:
(3) The intent of this ordinance is to allow for the orderly storage of recreational equipment on property
at certain locations during on and off seasons. During off season times, the equipment shall be
located in the most visually inconspicuous portion of the lot as viewed from the front, or from the
street.
Currently licensed and operable winter recreational equipment may be parked on or adjacent to a
driveway on a lot in the “R” Use District from November 1 to April 1 each year. Currently licensed
and operable summer recreational equipment may be parked on or adjacent to a driveway on a lot
in a “R” Use District from April 1 to November 1 each year. In addition to all other requirements, all
recreational equipment parked on or adjacent to a driveway shall be operable and shall have the
current license posted or displayed in a visible manner on the equipment. Any recreational
equipment parked on or adjacent to a driveway which is not both currently licensed and operable
shall be considered an accessory structure regulated pursuant to (8) below or as junk regulated
pursuant to City Code Section 606.
At all other times, recreational equipment shall be stored in the rear or side yard provided the
recreational equipment is operable. For purposes of this section, side yards shall also include areas
extending from the principal house structure, using lines parallel to the sides of the house extending
to the rear and front yard lines. In no case, shall recreational equipment be parked in the front
yard, unless an exemption is granted by the Zoning Administrator identified in this section.
Recreational equipment shall be set back a minimum of 5 f eet from the rear or side yard; except
that recreational equipment may be stored within 5 feet of a rear or side yard line only if screened
by a fence located on the lot which fence is at least 6 feet high and is in compliance with City Code
Section 1101.504.
If topography or other natural conditions of the lot do not allow for the storage in the side or rear
yards as permitted above, the recreational equipment may be parked in an alternate, but most
inconspicuous, location of the lot subject to written approval of the Zoning Administrator. No
encroachment of the equipment shall occur into the public right-of-way.
No recreational equipment may be parked in “R” Use Districts that does not have the same
ownership between the equipment and any family member occupying the property. A house being
rented shall only allow storage of recreational equipment owned by the person(s) renting the
principal structure.

For riparian lots without a principal structure, recreational equipment shall be located between the
Ordinary High Water Elevation, and a line no more than 30 feet from the Ordinary High Water
Elevation and no less than 5 feet from the side lot line. For purposes of this paragraph only,
“riparian lot” shall include only those lots which abut a body of water and shall not include lots which
are separated from the water by a dedicated waterfront as defined by City Code Section 1101.1000,
a controlled access lot as defined by City Code Section 1101.1000, or any other parcel of property.
2. City Code Section 104 entitled “General Penalty” is hereby adopted in its entirety, by reference, as though
repeated verbatim herein.
