These parcels have recently been reconveyed from the City of Prior Lake to the State of Minnesota, and they will ultimately be conveyed to Spring Lake Township to continue operation as public parks under the ownership and maintenance of the Township. This amendment will remove all references to Raymond Park and South Shore Park from the Park and Trail System Plan.  Chapter 8, Wastewater The Subject Property shall be removed from Figure 8.2: 2040 Future Land Use Map in Chapter 8, Wastewater. The City will continue to provide municipal wastewater services to this area, so the remainder of Chapter 8 shall not be amended to remove references to the Subject Property.  Chapter 9, Water Supply The Subject Property shall be removed from the Future Land Use Map in the Appendix of Chapter 9, Water Supply. The City will continue to provide municipal water services to this area, so the remainder of Chapter 9 shall not be revised to remove references to the Subject Property.
