elcome to the 2013-14 Savage Resident’s Guide. This Savage Pacer publication is a comprehensive directory of information and resources used by Savage businesses and residents, especially those who are new to the area.

Our apologies in advance for omissions or for changes that occur after publication. The challenge in publishing this Resident’s Guide is not only collecting accurate and important information, but keeping that information current in one of the Twin Cities’ fastest-growing areas.

History of

SAVAGE

H

amilton, Glendale, Savage. So great reat have been the changes in this river iver town that it has had three names.

uth A steamboat landing, located at the mouth he of the Credit River where it empties into the he Minnesota River, marked the beginning of the he town of Hamilton. Before the arrival of the nd fi rst white settlers — most of them Irish and ut Scottish — Dakota Indians lived throughout the Minnesota Valley. ts The community has been shaped by its l, transportation connection — wagon trail, river, rail and roadway — and by its role ass a farm trade-service center. Hamilton wass n established as a town on Nov. 20, 1857. In was incorporated on Aug. 31, 1892. The fi rst post office, Hamilton Station, was renamed Glendale Post Office in October 1894.

In 1902, Marion W. Savage, a prominent Minneapolis businessman, purchased 400 acres of land on the south side of the river and proceeded to build a mosque-like horse stable and an unrivaled half-mile covered track. In the same year, he acquired the famous Dan Patch, who on Sept. 8, 1906 startled the tate Fairgrounds in the recordworld by pacing the mile at the Minnesota State breaking time of 1:55. He became the only harness horse in racing history to break the two-minute barrier 35 times.

Apart from physical prowess, Dan Patch was a crowd pleaser. He would nod his head to a cheering crowd, stop for cameras, and stare straight into the lens as pictures were taken. Dan, who traveled across the country in a luxurious 65-foot railroad car, was a personality, a hero to kids across America, as were Lassie and Rin Tin Tin. Marion W. Savage, the son of an Iowa country doctor, was the founder of International Stock Foods, a Minneapolis stock feed and veterinary supply company. With Dan Patch the center of his advertising campaign, Savage amassed a fortune. At Christmastime, the benevolent entrepreneur would hitch Dan to a cutter and transport gifts to the poor of Minneapolis.

Savage remained a relatively small town for the next several decades, and it was not until after World War II that residential development began above the river bluffs. The war years did, however, have some major impacts on the community.

In 1941, Cargill Inc. started a shipbuilding yard near the Minnesota River. Several ocean-going tankers were constructed for the U.S. Navy. After the war, the facility was changed to a grain-handling port.

Also, Camp Savage, a branch of the U.S. Army, opened in April 1941 as a military intelligence language camp for servicemen of Japanese-American (Nisei) ancestry. A commemorative plaque and trees help memorialize the site.

When the horse died in 1916, Savage died 32 hours later. It was an untimely death, said to have been caused by a broken heart.

On April 28, 1969, the Village of Savage was consolidated with the adjacent Glendale Township to form the current 17-square-mile city of Savage.

So fascinated were local residents by Savage, and the fairy tale-like story of his horse, they decided the town should be called Savage. Grazing horses, spotted here and there across the community, still suggest the glorious days of old, a time when world famous stallion Dan Patch made local history.

The horse, a symbol of the city’s past, also may be viewed as a beacon for its future. While the working farm slowly gave way to urbanization, the city of Savage continues to celebrate and honor its natural amenities — wooded hills and streams — that provide unique lifestyle opportunities.

10 Savage Residents Guide — August 2013

Welcome to Savage T he City of Savage provides municipal services to 27,325 residents and more than 500 businesses. More than 136 full- and part-time employees work in seven departments that include administration, finance, public works, community development, police and liquor operations.

A paid on-call volunteer fi re department consists of 40 members who live or work in Savage. The department's only full-time staff are the fi re chief and deputy fi re chief.

A city administrator appointed by a five-member city council oversees all city operations. The council is responsible for setting policy to guide the development and provision of programs and services provided to the community. The council consists of a mayor and four council members, who each serve four-year terms.

City of Savage services are funded through several revenue sources and various budgets. The general fund supports general operations with a 2013 budget of $12.5 million. Property taxes provide 80 percent of the revenue for the general fund, with licenses and permits, engineering and plan review fees and intergovernmental revenues accounting for the balance.

Special revenue budgets, supported in part or entirely by independent funding sources, provide for cable access initiatives, maintenance for the Savage Public Library and economic development efforts. Other budgets for the city include the water and sewer operations, stormwater and liquor operating funds.

City operations have expanded considerably over the past two decades in response to a rapidly growing population. Once a rural community, Savage’s population has increased from 4,000 to 27,325 in the past 25 years. A new city hall, police facility, fi re station, water treatment plant, library, indoor sports center and liquor store were built during that time frame.

Savage Sports Center A sports facility with a seasonal, inflatable dome was built in the fall of 2012 in Savage's Community Park. The city owns and operates the facility, while scheduling and payments are managed by an outside fi rm. The facility offers fields and open spaces for residents, youth organizations and adult leagues, and free walking hours. The Savage Chamber of Commerce's

inaugural Home, Garden & More Show took place inside the dome inApril.

McColl Pond Environmental Learning and Event Center

The McColl Pond Environmental Learning and Event Center, located at Savage Community Park, opened in early 2009. Constructed from recycled materials, the LEED-certified building is a model for sustainable design and a place where people of all ages can learn more about protecting our resources.

Features include two classrooms, a large gathering space for 80-100 people, and an outdoor covered patio that has a capacity of 100. The McColl Pond Environmental Learning and Event Center was funded through public and private funds, and may be rented for meetings, gatherings and celebrations.

Call 952-224-3420 or visit www.cityofsavage.com for more information.

About the Community Savage’s environmental assets include the Minnesota River, which forms the city’s northern border; the 500-acre Savage Fen Wetland Complex, which contains some of the largest calcareous fens in the state; Eagle Creek, one of the last Brown Trout streams in the metro area; and Boiling Springs, a historical landmark.

A major industry in Savage is shipping, due to the community’s location on the Minnesota River. Five private facilities operate along the banks of the river to form the Ports of Savage.

The community also offers a large retail base, which includes grocery stores, a variety of restaurants, retail stores and service shops. In addition, downtown Savage has seen renewed energy in recent years, thanks to new businesses and a redevelopment grant program through the city and Chamber of Commerce.

Recreational opportunities are provided through 23 city parks, a regional park and hundreds of miles of sidewalks and trails. Savage Life Time Fitness Recreation and Aquatics Center offers residents and visitors an outdoor pool and a state-of-the-art health club. The center was built through a partnership between Life Time and the city of Savage. Residents of Savage receive a discount on admission to the outdoor pool.

Details can be found at www.cityofsavage. com.

Nuisance Control — Noises/Odors Conditions that pose a threat to public safety are accumulation of rubbish, garbage, junk or debris are considered a nuisance and are prohibited.

Excessive noise is also considered a nuisance and is prohibited.This includes excessive noise from vehicles, combustion engines, musical instruments, etc.

Garbage trucks and construction equipment may operate between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays, 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturdays and holidays, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Outdoor storage of unusable or inoperable “junk” vehicles is prohibited.

Weed and Tall Grass Control Grass that is higher than 10 inches, or weeds that have gone to seed, are a violation of city ordinance. If, after written notice, the violation is not corrected, the city may cut the weeds and bill/assess the cost against the property.

Parking/Snow Removal Parking — Parking on city streets is prohibited between 2 and 6 a.m. on any day. Tickets will be issued for violations.

Snow Removal, Streets — Plowing occurs after 2 inches of snow has accumulated (and usually after it quits snowing). Collectors and arterial streets are plowed fi rst, then minor arterials. Roadways not integral to traffic movement (cul-de-sacs, dead-end streets and alleys) are plowed last. Roadways are almost always plowed twice, once to clear them, a second time to widen them.

Snow Removal, Sidewalks — City crews remove snow from sidewalks and trails along collector streets and major roads.

Snow Removal, Citizen Responsibilities — Residents are responsible for ensuring their mailbox is secured to withstand snow being pushed against it by the plows. Snow removal responsibilities include keeping all fi re hydrants open and accessible in case of emergencies and clearing sidewalks that are

on the front and/or side of private property within 24 hours of a snowfall. It is unlawful to deposit snow that has been cleared from driveways, sidewalks, mailboxes and fi re hydrants into the street.

Restrictions Fences — No permit is required for fences that are 6 feet and lower. There are height limitations based on location of the fence. Check with the Planning Division for more information.

Garage Sales — The annual number of occasions per property is limited to three. Signs should not be placed on utility poles or within road rightof-way.

Mailboxes — Mailboxes should be set back 1 to 2 inches behind the curb and the bottom of the box should be 40 inches above street level.

Recreational Vehicles — Up to three recreational vehicles may be parked/ stored on a residential lot, provided the vehicles are operable, licensed and without need for repair. They may be parked in a rear or side yard, minimum of 5 feet from a property line, or during the season, in the driveway. Only motor homes of less than 34 feet may be parked/stored on a residential lot.

For details, call the city.

Snowmobiles — No snowmobile may be operated in the city except while loading or unloading a snowmobile from a trailer or similar form of transport, while performing maintenance and repair of a snowmobile within 300 feet of the registered owner's place of residence, for direct snowmobile trail access to or from the closest designated snow trail, or on a designated snowmobile trail.

Storage Buildings — Residential area storage sheds under 120 square feet do not require a permit, but are subject to design standards and minimum setbacks from property lines. For information regarding required setbacks and for rules applying to sheds, please contact the city’s Planning Division.

Sump Pumps — All water from foundation drains or sumps must be pumped or drained directly to the exterior of the property through rigid plastic or steel piping. A sump pump may not be discharged into the municipal sewer system or onto a city street.

Outdoor Water Use — An odd-even watering restriction is in effect throughout the year to ensure a continuing supply of water to residents. All residents whose house number ends with an odd number may water only on odd-numbered days; those with an even-numbered address may water only on even-numbered days. On these specified days, residents may water lawns or use an outside hose at any time of day except between the hours of noon and 5 p.m. Newly seeded or sodded lawns may be watered daily during the allowed hours for up to 30 days after installation.

Ponds and Wetlands — A buffer of at least 17 feet is required on all ponds, and from 17 to 50 feet on wetlands even if they are on private property. Residents may not mow, plant or place anything within this buffer.

The buffer is intended to help clarify the water that runs into the ponds and wetlands. In addition to abiding by the buffer requirement, residents are encouraged to limit their use of fertilizer, as this can accelerate the growth of algae and other plants in the ponds.

Water Conservation The City of Savage encourages residents to use water wisely to ensure an adequate community supply and lower water bills, which are sent out at the end of each month. Water rates apply according to the amount of water used: Those using less than 12,000 gallons of water a month pay the lowest fees per 1,000 gallons used. The rates increase for those using 12,000 gallons or more, and increase again for thsoe who use 16,000 gallons or more.

Outdoor water restrictions are in place throughout the year to encourage conservation and assist citizens in keeping their water usage volumes reasonable (see section on Ordinances, Licenses and Permits).

Residents may also wish to check their homes for leaks. This can be done by reading your water meter at night after the day's water use has ended, and again in the morning before any water is used. The difference between the fi rst and second reading will indicate whether any water leaked overnight, and how much. If a leak is suspected, check pipes, fi xtures and appliances.

Water softeners are recommended, with a setting of 20 grains of hardness.

Scott County

A

s Scott County continues to lead the state in population growth, progress is evident throughout the community. Over the last several years, Scott County has managed to keep its budget in check while still investing in its residents’ future: from the acquisition of new parks and green spaces to developing highly successful transit partnerships (the BlueXpress commuter line and the SmartLink transit cooperative), from the construction of two new mixed-use library facilities to installing a high-tech fiber optic ring, Scott County is truly committed to its new vision: “Where individuals, families, and businesses thrive.”

Residents are encouraged to keep current on County news through viewing Board meetings (available online in “real time” and on-demand), visiting the website (www.co.scott.mn.us), tuning in to local government access cable for meeting coverage and other programming, following the county on Facebook, and reading the award-winning resident newsletter (The Scott County SCENE). In addition, you can become more directly involved by volunteering with various community groups, serving on a citizen advisory committee, or by attending County board meetings and workshops, which are held on most Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. (please visit the web site for up-to-date schedule information).

Scott County Environmental Health Dept. .......................................................................... 952-496-8475 24-hour Information Line .................................................... 952-496-8787 HHW Information ............................................................... 952-496-8652 Web site..................................................................www.co.scott.mn.us/hhw Almost every home contains some household hazardous waste (HHW), hazardous products or chemicals that can harm human health or the environment if handled improperly. These are products normally used in cleaning, home improvement projects, automobile maintenance, lawn and garden care, hobbies, and a variety of other tasks. They might include paint, varnish, pesticides, household cleaning chemicals, solvents, fuels, wood stain or preservatives, rechargeable batteries, aerosol cans, fluorescent lamps (including tubes and CFLs), mercury thermostats or thermometers, automotive chemicals or batteries, appliances, electronics, tires, as well as any other household products that are flammable, corrosive, reactive or poisonous. Each year, thousands of Americans are injured or poisoned through incidents involving hazardous household products. Minimizing the amount of hazardous chemicals stored in your home is always a good idea for the sake of your family’s safety.

The Scott County HHW Facility will accept a variety of hazardous materials from Scott County residents. Many of these items are accepted at no

charge — visit www.co.scott.mn.us/HHW for details. Please bring a check or cash for those chargeable items, since credit cards are not currently accepted. The facility is located at 588 Country Trail East (Highway 282) in Spring Lake Township, one-half mile west of the intersection of Highways 13 and 282, and County Road 17. The HHW Facility is open at the following times: Wednesday: noon to 6 p.m.

Thursday: noon to 4 p.m.

Saturday: 8 a.m. to noon (Note: The RE-USE Room closes 15 minutes earlier) The HHW Facility will be CLOSED for major holiday weekends, including Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving, as well as the period between Christmas and New Year's.

The RE-USE Room is fi lled with a variety of good usable products, including paint, stain, varnish, thinner, putty, adhesives, household chemicals, yard and garden chemicals, automotive chemicals, electronics, etc., and all of these items are available for FREE (to anyone over the age of 18)! A trip to the RE-USE Room as you plan your next home improvement or craft project could certainly save you some money!
