Currently licensed winter recreational equipment may be parked on or adjacent to a driveway in Residential districts from November 1 to April 1; summer recreational equipment from April 1 to November 1. Outside these windows, all recreational equipment must be stored in rear or side yards, set back at least 5 feet from lot lines.
Under Prior Lake's residential parking rules (City Code Chapter 10 zoning standards), 'recreational equipment' (boats, jet skis, snowmobiles, ATVs, RVs, campers, utility trailers) parked on or next to a driveway in an R district must be operable, currently licensed, and displaying its current license visibly. Seasonal pairing: winter equipment (snowmobiles, ice fishing trailers) is allowed driveway-adjacent November 1 to April 1; summer equipment (boats, jet skis) is allowed April 1 to November 1. All other times, the equipment must be stored in the rear or side yard with a 5-foot minimum setback from lot lines. Storage in front yards outside of driveways is prohibited. Junk vehicles - unlicensed, unregistered, or inoperable - cannot be kept on private property outside a lawfully erected structure under City Code Section 5-134.
Violations are cited under Chapter 5 (junk vehicle) or Chapter 10 (zoning) with fines up to $1,000 per offense. Continuing violations may trigger abatement and removal at the owner's expense.
