Dog's / Pick-up / Leash law - There has been growing complaints over dogs in the neighborhood. There are a number of reports of dog owners not picking up after their pet. Also, there are a number of owners who are not keeping their pets on a leash at all times. DOG OWNERS - Please respect your neighbors property. Pick up all animal waste. The city of Shakapee requires that dogs are kept on a leash at all times when not on the owners property. It is not appropriate to allow your dog to roam freely in the neighborhood. Homeowners are encouraged to contact the Shakopee Police Department to report any violations.
Vandalism - There has been a recent influx of vandalism in and around the Classics neighborhood. Specifically, there has been grafitti damage to signs and utility boxes. Many of you may have noticed that the Classics monument sign has been missing. This is due to significant grafitti damage to the sign itself that will cost between $500 and $1,000 to repair. Please report any suspicious activity to the Shakopee Police Department. If you have any information regarding who may be responsible for this damage, please contact a member of the board.
ATV's, Mini Bikes, Other motorized vehicles - There has been a growing concern (especially during the warmer months) with the use of ATV's and other small motorized vehicles in the neighborhood (excluding power-wheels). It is important that everyone understands that the use of these vehicles on city streets and sidewalks is prohibited. If you or your children own any of these vehicles, please refrain from riding them within the neighborhood and find a more approriate location where these activities are not only safer, but legal. Ideally, we would like to resolve this issue without getting local law enforcement involved.
Snowmobiles - If you own snowmobiles, please be aware of Shakopee's restrictions on their use in residential areas. Specifically, snowmobiles may only be operated on the residential street itself, assuming you are traveling to or from a designated snowmobile trail. This means that operating them on the sidewalk or along the easment of residential properties is prohibited. Please respect your neighbors property and safety by keeping your snowmobiles out of yards and in the street. Feel free to contact a board member or the Shakopee Police Department if you have any questions surrounding this issue.
