SPRING LAKE TOWNSHIP
Annexation Information

FINAL ORDERLY ANNEXATION AGREEMENT POSTED September 2, 2003

UPDATE ON 4 KEY ANNEXATION ISSUES

1. Prorated credit for those with "new" septic systems.  Prior Lake has agreed to a prorated 20 year credit for those properties that are provided water and sewer.  An example:  someone has a 10 year old septic system, water and sewer is installed in an area, this homeowner would get a 50% credit on the assessment.  They would still have to pay the full TAC/WAC and connection, but the standard assessment would be reduced by 50%.

2. Zoning ordinances and Building Permits.  Prior Lake has agreed to use the Scott County ordinances and people would continue to go to Spring Lake Township for building permits.  Any variances would be handled by the "three person board".

3. Subdivision in the 2024 area.  Scott County will look at creating new zoning to permit densities in this Vergus Avenue area higher than the current 1/40, 1/10 with clustering.

4. Autumn acres year of annexation.  Rather than the last proposed 2007, Prior Lake has agreed to 1020.
