Chan Res Guide Sept 2011 v1.ai 1 8/23/11 12:22 PM

Welcome to the 2011-2012 Chaska Resident’s Guide. This year marks the 20th anniversary of publishing these guides for the communities served by Southwest

Newspapers. This Chaska Herald publication is a comprehensive directory of information and resources used by Chaska businesses and residents, especially those who are new to this area.

The Resident’s Guide is a compilation of valuable information — one source for local services, names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Keep it handy; use it often.

Our apologies in advance for omissions or for changes that oc-cur 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.

If you are interested in obtaining additional copies of this pub-lication, call our Circulation Department at 952-345-6682. The Resident’s Guide is also available at www.chaskaherald.com. For additional information or to submit corrections, call 952-445-3333 or send an e-mail to [email protected].

An historic city on the Minnesota River, Chaska is one of the fastest-growing communities of the southwest suburban

area. Just 20 years ago, it was a quiet little town of less than 5,000 people. Fast-forward to 2011 where, today, its population is more than four times that number — yet Chaska remains a quality small town.

Praising Chaska for its quality jobs, education system, diverse population and strong sense of community, Money Magazine named Chaska as the 8th best small town in the United States in its August 2007 issue and the 20th best in 2009. This Money Magazine recognition reinforces Chaska mission of being “The Best Small Town in Minnesota.”

Chaska is not a bedroom community. It maintains a strong, diversifi ed light-industry base, with more than 12,000 jobs available within the city. Attracting and preserving high quality jobs is a priority of the city and is consistent with its long-term vision of being a place for residents to both live and work.

Despite its recent growth, Chaska retains its small town image. The image of a caring and active community, where people meet and greet each other on the street, continues to be fostered even as the population grows.

Established in 1851, Chaska has a core historic downtown which serves as a focal point for both commercial development and social activities. Those who live in Chaska continue to enjoy ice cream socials and band concerts in City Square Park. These and other activities are designed to strengthen the community and support shared community values.

In addition, Chaska has an award-winning community center. It serves as a gathering place for people of all ages and with all interests. The center — which included The Lodge for Active Older Adults in 2007— also houses a gallery and theater, a swimming pool, f itness center, and several amenities including an on-site café.

Outdoor recreation enthusiasts enjoy the community’s miles of trails, acres of parks, two swimming beaches, and a new disc golf course.

Chaska also has an extensive year-round recreation program for children and adults, including seniors.

For those who are seeking a “wired” community, the City of Chaska was the fi rst city in the country to roll out a city-wide high-speed WiFi service when it created chaska.net. The high-speed, low-cost service helps Chaska meet one of its core strategies — to be a connected community.

Fina l ly, Chaska is home to Hazelt ine National Golf Club, site of several major golfi ng tournaments for men, women and seniors, including the 1991 U.S. Men’s Open, the 2002 PGA Championship and the 2009 PGA Championship. Chaska Town Course, a city-owned public golf course designed by nationally prominent Arthur Hills Jr., opened in 1997. It has routinely received high ratings in both state and national publications. The Town Course co-hosted — with Hazeltine National — the 2006 U.S. Amateur Championship, bringing hundreds of golfers and visitors to the community. The Ryder Cup is scheduled to be in Chaska in 2016.

City OrdinancesWinter Parking

Chaska follows a calendar parking schedule for on-street parking during the winter. The ordinance applies to all public parking–streets, alleys, parking lots. From Nov. 1 to April 1, whenever 2 inches of snow accumulates to require plowing, vehicles must park on the even-numbered side of the street on even-numbered days of the month; and on the odd-numbered side of the street on odd-numbered days. For residents’ convenience, the city counts the day as beginning at 8 a.m.

Snowmobile Operation ...........................................................952-448-4200A snowmobile trail through the city has been designated. Non-residents must

stay on the trail. Residents must take the most direct, non-prohibited route to and from the trail. Other restrictions involve speed and hours.

Nuisance ControlNoise/Odor Ordinance

There is a noise ordinance prohibiting loud, unnecessary or unusual noises that annoy, disturb, injure or endanger the comfort, repose, health, peace, safety or welfare of others. The ordinance also prohibits offensive odors.

Alarm SystemsWhen alarm systems are installed, certain requirements must be met. No

alarm systems, except those for fi nancial institutions and public buildings, may be connected directly to the county public safety communications center. Neither may a system have an automatic dialer that dials directly into the center. To assure both proper installation and maintenance, there is a penalty fee for false alarms.

Summer Lawn Watering ........................................................952-448-4335The City of Chaska has an ordinance regarding water usage effective May

1-Sept. 30. Compliance is based on an odd-even cycle of watering. You are required to limit your lawn sprinkling and other non-essential water use based on your address and the calendar day of the month. Even-numbered addresses water on even numbered calendar days; odd-numbered addresses sprinkle on odd numbered days.

Compliance with this ordinance is mandatory. Failure to comply may result in a $100 per day fi ne and/or termination of water service. New seed or sod is exempt from the ordinance until it becomes established.

Commercial, industrial and residential automated irrigation systems are required to follow the same guidelines.

Household Hazardous WasteDisposal InformationCarver County Environmental Center ........................................952-361-1835MN Pollution Control Agency ....................................................651-296-6300

Household hazardous waste must be disposed of properly to avoid endanger-ing health and contaminating ground water.

These wastes include: solvents, household cleaners, pesticides, paint, wood preservatives, aerosols, batteries, automotive oil and antifreeze. The best way to handle the waste–except those that are banned–is to use it or give it to someone who will. If these options are not available to you, please contact the county for collection information.

Sellers of automotive products may take used automotive waste, perhaps for a fee. Check before bringing the waste in.

The Metropolitan Council is the regional planning organization for the seven-county Twin Cities area. The council advocates for vital communities and a competitive region. It runs the regional bus system, collects and treats wastewater and manages water resources preservation, plans regional parks and administers funds that provide housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income individuals and families.

The council serves the metropolitan counties of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hen-nepin, Ramsey, Scott and Washington. The region encompasses 189 cities and townships and a population of 2.85 million. It is divided into 16 districts. The governor appoints a representative for each, as well as the council chairperson.

Eastern Carver County Schools is a growing school system serving approximately 8,900 students in Carver, Chanhassen, Chaska and Victoria. The district includes a Kindergarten Center, seven elementary

schools (1-5), three middle schools (6-8) and two high schools. All-day kindergarten is offered at the Kindergarten Center and in fi ve elementary schools.

The elementary schools emphasize basic skills. Students and teachers work with newly strengthened curriculum in math, reading, language arts and science. Each school has specialists working in the areas of special education, art, music and physical education.

The secondary academic program for grades 6 through 12 has been redesigned to ensure students graduate with the knowledge, skills and personal attributes necessary to succeed in post-secondary institutions and throughout life. All secondary schools use a 7-period modifi ed block schedule which creates year-long, content-rich classes and allows fl exible blocks of time to support labs and projects.

The high schools participate as Class AA high schools in the Missota Conference. Each high school offers Advanced Placement classes for students who want to earn college credit while in high school.
