The city council tabled this item in order to review the type of monument for buffers. Staff
will have a monument available for your review at the city council meeting.
ANALYSIS
The signs are designed with the following specifications:
Size: 3" x 24"
Post Color: Gray
Wording: As shown
Sign Color: Brown with white lettering
Mike Wegler, the City's Street Superintendent has indicated that he would like to see these
signs located at the height of 4 ft. He feels that a 2 ft. height, which is the height of the sign,
would be dangerous, kids can play on them, and they would be difficult to see when there is
a lot of snow. They are located on only one side of the lot. The purpose of the monument is
to identify this area as a buffer that should not be altered. The narrowness of the sign, color,
and the location should minimize their impact.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the buffer monumentation fee of $20.00 with the sign
specifications as shown.

' SUBJ: Wetland Buffer Monumentation Fees
The Chanhassen City Code requires that all lots created after December 14, 1992, include
monumentation for each lot establishing a buffer strip. The city requires that all buffer strip
monumentation locations be surveyed and identified by the developer. The city will then install
the signage at the surveyed locations as part of the inspection process.
t Staff has proposed a $20 fee to be collected at the time of final plat for each monumentation
required. The $20 covers the cost of materials and labor for the city to install.
Attached please find the resolution establishing buffer monumentation fees.
