Prior Lake Strategic Plan
At buildout the City of Prior Lake will be balanced between residential, commercial and
business. Strong neighborhoods and homeowner associations will characterize most
developments, neighborhoods will be connected by transportation amenities for
pedestrians and/or motor vehicles. Platting will be encouraged through Planned Unit
Developments which preserve natural features. While single family dwellings will be the
predominant housing type, townhomes (for empty nesters) and multifamily
developments on major arterials are expected. Annexation will be evaluated and a
determination made regarding land areas to incorporate within the city.
Neighborhood commercial centers will predominate, although a few community centers
will exist. Commercial development will be localized primarily to major arterial
intersections involving State Highway 13, County Road 42, County Road 44, County
Road 21, County Road 12, County Road 82 and 83. One regional center is expected at
the intersection of County Road 42 and 83.
With respect to business, the focus will be on developing a mixture including office, light
industrial. high-tech and light manufacturing. Office, warehouse and industrial
developments are expected along CR 21. One or more corporate office parks are
expected. Business concentrations are expected along State Highway 13, CR 21 and
CR17 and CR 42.
Service as provided by the City to the community will be characterized by quality.
E~~~-:iS will be placed upon striving for ;/ high-level of community confidence.
id it and satisfaction. Citizen input is sought to identify problems and develop
mutually acceptable solutions. Program effectiveness and services will be
monitored to assure needs are met cost effectively. An emphasis will be placed on
maintenance and replacement of infrastructure with the diversified tax base to support
needed government services.
Prior Lake is proud to be the home of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community,
its tourist attractions and international network of businesses. The City seeks to work
cooperatively with the Dakota Community government toward mutually beneficial
objectives. The City emphasizes its historical roots as a small town resort area with a
downtown, and incorporates these historic facts in its development plans. Positive
family, individual and community values will be reinforced.
[Moved Paragraph beginning "Service as provided......" to Paragraph 4]
A twofold recreational system will be available. One is characterized as the recreation
industry created by the Mdewakanton Dakota Community. The second will consist of
Prior Lake, Spring Lake and numerous natural areas dedicated to the public to preserve
their natural features. These major areas will be augmented by community parks, play

fields, neighborhood parks and trails. These facilities will be programmed for recreation
directed toward all ages and interests.
The city will plan for and facilitate remodeling of areas requiring redevelopment along a
consistent theme as appropriate. Prior Lake's economy is not subject to downturns
caused by excessive reliance on one industry or another.
