O~.
DATE:
November 9, 2009
SUBJ:
Approval of Off-Premise Directional Signs for the
Chanhassen Public Works Building -7901 Park Place
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following motion:
"The City Council approves the off-premise signs directing traffic to the newly
constructed Public Works Building located at 7901 Park Place."
City Council approval requires a majority of City Council present.
The newly constructed Public Works building is located east of Audubon Road
and northwest of Park Place. The building is not visible from Audubon Road and,
due to the close proximity of the subject site to the old Public Works building,
individuals may not be able to locate the building easily.

The City should make an attempt to identify public buildings that are a destination. As such,
staff is proposing to locate two off-premise directional signs on existing street light posts.
Section 20-1255(2) b. of the City Code states:
Off-premises signs shall be allowed only in situations where access is confusing and
traffic safety could be jeopardized or traffic could be inappropriately routed through
residential streets. The size of the sign shall be no larger than what is needed to
effectively view the sign from the roadway and shall be approved by the city council.
Each sign will have dimensions of 30 inches by 30 inches for a total area of 5 square feet. They
are aluminum-backed street signs that are typically seen on public right-of-way.
