CONSIDER PRELIMINARY SUMMARY AND GENERAL
ANNEXATION CONCEPT-NEW CENTURY CONSTRUCTION
PETITION
DECEMBER 17, 1990
Prior Lake bas received a petition to annex
approximately 69 acres of Spring Lake
Townshi~, from Timothy J. Keane, Attorney for
the petl.tioners, Joe Mahoney and Mike Giles
(attached). The petition is being filed in
accordance with the annexation process adopted
by Resolution 90-35 (attached). The filing
fee of $500 has been received with the
petition.
Territorial annexations are not new to Prior
Lake. More than 90% of Prior Lake's 10,112
acres came from Spring Lake and Eagle Creek
Townships via the annexation route. In 1972,
Prior Lake entered into a resolution with
Spring Lake Township known as the "Orderly
Annexation Agreement" (OAA) . The OAA
establishes terms, areas, conditions, and
restrictions for annexin~ township property.
There were six territor1al annexations from
Spring Lake Township since 1972 totalling
approximately 2100 acres.
The purJ?ose for the OAA was to transfer large
quantitl.es of urban or about to be urban land
to the City of Prior Lake for the purpose of
providing municipal services to both Spring
and Prior Lakes. Prior Lake, similar to the
rest of the metropolitan area experienced
considerable land develoJ?ment pressure in the
1970's. The focus of th1s area's development
was the shoxeline of Spring and Prior Lake.
Since development could not be restricted
because of existing plats, Prior Lake had
little choice but to provide for and extend
utilities around the lakes. In order for
utilities to be extended annexations needed to
occur.

The six annexations involved several thousand
people who in many cases fiercely contested
the annexation in favor of lower township
taxes. Fortunately the environmentally driven
annexation J?olicy prevailed and the lakeshore
received utl.lities.
DISCUSSION:
Why should annexation occur today? Is this
the appropriate time to expand the city's
boundaries by perhaps as much as 3300 acres,
which is the remaining land area covered by
the OAA? It is clear that the original
purpose for the OAA, for the most J?art, has
been fulfilled and a new regional 1mperative
is essential in order that Staff may properly
evaluate projects with regard to context and
user.
In the absence of an annexation process the
City Council developed a 6 point procedural
guideframe to assist petitioners. The process
should work well for petitioners but it does
not provide for a Comprehensive City
Annexation POlicy. Annexation today can be
viewed to fall into one of three categories.
1. Do nothing until the City is fully
developed. Work with the Township
and County to adopt regulations that
are consistent with Prior Lake.
2. Continue to process applications on
a piecemeal basis. More than likely
applications will come from
developers with vacant land who
desire a higher density. The
consequences of such a position may
result in an irregular boundary and
an inconsistent concept of Prior
Lake if not carefully planned.
Every petition will require new
interpretations and possibly be a
challenge to township government.
3. The third most insightful and
difficult way to approach annexation
is to determine the "why", "when"
and "how much" (comprehensive
policy) and include it in the
communities comprehensive plan.
This will provide townshi~ residents
an opportunity to VOl.ce their
opinion and Staff to develop and
address comprehensive planning
issues.
staff has included a short list of pros and
cons for items 2 and 3. This list should be
viewed as a factual J?erspective for council
discussion and ana1ys1s.
In the interim both Staff and City council
must address the petition before us. The
petitioners have met with staff on several
occasions primarily focusing on the
subdivision of the property rather than the
annexation. A preliminary design plan
(attached) has been generated to indicate
preliminary develoJ?ment statistics and utility
extensions which al.d in measuring the impact
of the ~roposal. Additional facts primarily
pertainl.ng to area issues have been stipulated
by the applicant and are attached to the
application for consideration and analysis.
staff has not evaluated the submittals for
completeness and accuracy (see step 2
Annexation Process - Page 4). This evaluation
will occur if we proceed to a step 4 process.
Level 2 of the annexation process which is
where this petition is, requires a preliminary
summary and analysis of facts, data, and other
general information relative to the
annexation. This was required by the Council
so both Staff and the petitioner would not
invest too much time into the proposal until
direction was provided by the Council.
It is the belief of the Staff that the subject
site is urban or is about to become suburban.
The property has been for sale and not farmed
for several years, which would strongly
indicate a future residential development, the
density of which is dependent on the outcome
of these proceedings.
Perhaps in its purest form, annexation is
sought to provide for future growth, the
protection of agricultural lands from urban
development, the protection of open space, and
protection of the public health, safety, and
welfare. This is a somewhat ambi~uous
statement that would fit all annexat10ns.
Unfortunately the Prior Lake comprehensive
Plan does not discuss the orderly annexation
area beyond a reference on the land use base
map. Also, unfortunately, the OAA is nearly
20 ~ears old, original officials have left
off1ce and the document has not been on the
forefront of both jurisdictions for some time.
Due to the lack of a framework for
annexations, this a~plication will have to
stand on its own mer~ts.
This application makes sense when viewed from
a boundary adjustment perspective. The site
is an elongated piece of land located between
two unusual projections of the Cit~ boundary.
The annexation would mitigate the l.rregularity
of the City boundary for a desired straight
line boundary. The City Engineer has
established that utilities are of capacity and
location to accommodate the proposed
development. Questions relative to
oversizing of mains and trunks will have to be
resolved at one of the next levels in the
annexation process. oversizing costs will
have to be carried by Prior Lake until
tributary areas are annexed. Costs have not
been determined.
The total financial impact has not been
measured at this stage. Preliminary
calculations indicate that approximately
$50,000 - $60,000 in taxes would be generated
for Prior Lake based on 150 fully develo~ed
lots. The character of the ensur1ng
development if annexed would be single use,
low density residential. Home prices would
range from starter homes to $125,000, maybe
even upwards to $140,000. City wide increase
in taxes and services requires study, but
would be comparable to existing City
developments of this size. The effect on
adjacent and area land uses should be
positive. The added population base will help
support and perhaps spur additional commercial
development around the priordale Mall area
adjacent to the north. The Pond athletic
complex to the west would gain humanizing
urban sights and sounds and contribute greatly
to its somewhat bland characteristic.
In the event the property is annexed it would
come into the City as A-I land. A rezoning
and Comprehensive Plan hearing would follow to
write the necessary amendments to implement
the applicants proposal. The Prior Lake
Comprehensive Plan is currently in the process
of being revised. In anticipation of
annexation, staff has taken the initiative to
include the subject site in the J?reliminary
draft of the 2010 urban servl.ce area.
Currently the lack of developed lots in the
urban service area along with poor economic

Staff questions whether Prior Lake or the

by this proposal. We have expressed our
concerns on several fronts but at this stage
have agreed to disagree on the plat details.
Issues such as, sense of place, open space,
parks and land use transition, need further

proposal is not acceptable to Staff. However,
at this level of review additional site

desires to discuss the respective position in

CITY OF PRIOR LAKE ANNEXATION POLICY
On November 22, 1972 the City of Prior Lake entered into an
Orderly Annexation Agreement with Spring Lake Township. The
A9reement set forth parameters for the annexation of certain land
wl.thin Spring Lake Township either contiguous to or adjacent to
the City of Prior Lake.
The daily reference and practical
had essentially ceased over 10
and in9Uiries into annexation
evaluatl.on of the Agreement, its
application of this A9reement
years ago. Increasing l.nterest
have resulted in a renewed
parameters and requirements.
It is the Policy of the City of Prior Lake to sUJ?port the use
of the Orderly Annexation Agreement Process. ThlS process is
regulated by Minnesota Statutes 414.0325. This precedence
has been established since 1972 with the original agreement
which exists todar. The Municipal Board promotes the use of
orderlr annexatlons because that process emphasizes
"negotlation and agreement".
It is the policr of the City of Prior Lake to initiate
annexation actl.ons on its own. These actions would be
initiated by the adoption of a Resolution J?ursuant to
Minnesota Statutes 415.0325 Subdivision 1. Prl.or to the
adoption of a Resolution, the City Council will, at their
sole discretion, determine that annexing a certain portion of
land(s) within the existing orderly annexation area is
consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The
City Council will, prior to adopting the Resolution, direct
the City staff to conduct sufficient research to assist them
in determining the ultimate costs and benefits of this
annexation.
It is the policy of the City of Prior Lake to facilitate the
processin9 of petitions or applications for annexation to the
City withl.n the orderly annexation area under the following
three conditions:
1. Applicant submit in writing a petition or request.
2. Applicant complete a stipulation form as ~rescribed
by the MuniciJ?a1 Board. This form is deslgned (and
consistent wlth the Citr's intent) for the
a~plicant to submit sufficlent base data for the
Clty to make an evaluation of their request. A
stipulation form re9Uirement is designed to address
requirements outll.ned in Minnesota Statutes
414.0325 Subdivision 3. A stipulation form is
attached as an addendum to this policy.
1
Applicant sub.it. a non-refundable $500 filing fe.
a10n9 with the submittals in step '2 of the
process. Applicant will be responsible for
possible additional costs up to a maximum out of
pocket expense of $2500. All expenses will serve
as a reimbursement for staff time as determined on
an hourly basis by the City Manager. Pees will be
reviewed and possibly amended on an annual basis by
the City Council.
It is the applicant's responsibilitr to undertake an
evaluation and provide information n support of their
request pursuant to the re9Uirements set forth in Minnesota
Statutes 414.0325 Subdivlsion 1-5. It is the City'S
responsibility to process the request by reviewing submittals
for completeness, evaluating the information and making a
determination as to an affirmative or negative position on
the request.
3.
It is the poI icy of the City of Prior Lake to consider
annexation requests outside of an existing orderly annexation
agreement area. If a request is made, the following
conditions will apply:
1. All conditions found in previous process above
shall also apply here.
2. Guidelines for action will be determined by the
applicable Minnesota Statute section in Chapters
414 "Incorporation, Detachment and Annexation".
It is the pOlicr of the City of Prior Lake to enter into an
Orderly Annexatlon Agreement prior to annexing any property.
All efforts will be made to that extent where possible.
However, in the event an Orderlr Annexation Agreement cannot
be successfully attained, the Cl.ty maintains the prerogative
to initiate or consider annexation proceedings pursuant to
Minnesota statutes.
It is a policy of the City of Prior Lake to be objective in
their evaluation of annexation petitions and requests. The
City'S position will to the greatest extent be consistent
with the overall best interest of the community. To further
this objectivity, some form of evaluation standards must be
present in order for the City Council to take a position on a
particular annexation proposal. It is difficult to predict
all of the conditions and standards that must be evaluated on
each request, however, the following will serve as the
minimum standards necessary for the City Council to analyze
prior to making a decision on an annexation proposal.

Estimated time to process an application through the
City is 2 - 4 months.
The Process above assumes request is within orderly
annexation area: Step 2-3 may be altered if request is
outside an existing orderly annexation area.
Contacts with existing governmental entity (Township or
City) controlling the land will be made durlng steps 1
and 2.
Contact with Municipal Board staff may be made after
steps 3 and 6.
A Municipal Board hearing ma~ or may not be required
after step 6. Estimated Munlcipa1 Board processing time
is 1 - 4 months.
Within an orderly annexation area (in our case) Township
Board ap~rova1 is not necessary to process or act on an
app1icatlon. Consideration should be given to what
position the City wants to take with the Board, if any,
on these matters.
