On May 2, 2017 the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application of Justin Schweigart on behalf of Camp Tanadoona for a sign for the properties located at 3300 Tanadoona Drive (250083200) and at no address (250092600). FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The property is currently zoned Rural Residential (RR). 2. The property is guided by the Land Use Plan for Public Semi Public. 3. The legal description of the property is: All that part of the Southwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter and the Southeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 9, Township 116 North, Range 23 West, lying Westerly of the centerline of State Trunk Highway No. 41, as now laid out (formerly Trunk Highway No. 12), Carver County, Minnesota, except that parcel described as follows: That part of the Southwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 9, Township 116 North, Range 23 West, described as follows: Commencing at the point of intersection of the South line of the Northwest Quarter of said Section with the centerline of State Highway No. 41 as now laid out; thence Northeasterly 1278 feet along said centerline to the point of beginning of the property being described; thence deflecting left 90 degrees to the South line of the North 100 feet of said Southwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter; thence West along said South line of the North 100 feet to the West line of said Southwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter; thence North along said West line to the North line of said Southwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter; thence East along said North line to said centerline; thence Southwesterly along said centerline to the point of beginning. SCANNED 4. Sign Variance Findings: a. The City Council, upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission, may grant a variance from the requirement of this ordinance where it is shown that by reason of topography or other conditions, strict compliance with the requirements of this ordinance would cause a hardship; provided that a variance may be granted only if the variance does not adversely affect the spirit or intent of this ordinance. Finding: The elevation change between the highway and sign location combined with the height of the surrounding vegetation during the summer months constitutes a hardship cause by reason of topography or other conditions. Granting a height variance to elevate the sign's display are above the vegetation mitigates this hardship, and does not adversely affect the permit and intent of the sign code. 5. The planning report, Planning Case #17-08 dated May2, 2017, prepared by MacKenzie Walters, is incorporated herein. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommend approval of the variance request to allow a height variance of 7.75 feet, and adopts the attached Finding of Fact and Decision. The approved sign variance is subject to the following conditions: The sign's height measured from grade shall not exceed 12.75 feet, including temporary banner mounts. 2. The sign shall be constructed with individual pole wraps to minimize the visual impact of its supports. 3. The sign shall be a minimum of 45' from the northern edge of Tanadoona Drive and a minimum of 10' west of the Highway 41 right of way. 4. The applicant must enter into an encroachment agreement with the city in order to locate the ground low profile sign on city property. This encroachment agreement shall include language stating that if Highway 41 and/or Tanadoona Drive are widened, the City can require the sign to be moved or removed if the sign's location impedes sightlines. 5.

MEUWISSENotary Public-MinnesotabyWn Ezpirea Jan 31, 2020 DRAFTED BY: City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard P.O. Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 (952)227-1100 NOTARY PN-4JJLIC 1�7-08 CHANHASSEN PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MAY 2, 2017 Chairman Aller called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Andrew Aller, Mark Undestad, John Tietz, Maryam Yusuf, Nancy Madsen, and Steve Wcick MEMBERS ABSENT: Mark Randall STAFF PRESENT: Kate Aanenson, Community Development Director; and MacKenzie Walters, Planner PUBLIC HEARING: CAMP TANADOONA: REOUEST FOR A HEIGHT VARIANCE FOR A SIGN LOCATED AT 3300 TANADOONA DRIVE. Walters: This is Planning Case 2017-08. It's a sign variance request for Camp Tanadoona and they are requesting to be allowed to erect a 12.75 foot high ground low profile sign. The camp is located at the intersection of Hazeltine Boulevard and Tanadoona Drive. It's primarily surrounded by rural residential land use. There is the Westwood Community Church to the south and it's something of a unique use within the city and the approximate location of the sign is marked by the large red star. The applicant is mentioning, is proposing a 12.75 foot high ground low profile sign. This would be 7 3/< foot height variance. Typically signs in residential districts, monument signs are restricted to 5 feet. They would be staying within the code's 24 square feet of display area and they would have 2 foot banner mounts on top of it for temporary banners. That is included in the 12 3/< foot height. The big justification is there's a 7 foot elevation change from the location of the sign to the bed of the highway and vegetation in that area grows to around 8 feet tall so a 5 foot sign would be completely obscured and invisible essentially. As mentioned this is a unique use. It relies on the sign for a lot of it's advertising and also to direct out of town visitors to the site and it's also a pretty substantial distance from the intersection so they are requesting to change the location to a location that would actually be located on city property but it would be removing it from the right-of-way for Tanadoona Drive. So this is a diagram of the sign location. The current sign is 10 feet high and is located here. They are proposing moving it again out of this right-of-way to a location here. It would be approximately 91 feet from the center line of Highway 41 and 83 feet from the center line of Tanadoona Drive. We've spoken with the engineering department. It would be clear of any sight lines. They would need to enter into an encroachment agreement with the City to locate it on city property but that's not a problem administratively and doesn't actually require a variance. The variance would be entirely for the sign height. So again in summation just the existing sign has very limited visibility due to unique topography which is one of the criteria for issuing a sign variance. It's a unique use and has different needs than other uses located within residential SCANNED Chanhassen Planning Commission — May 2, 2017 districts which just tend to be sub development name or churches, things of that nature. The alignment and location of signs should not have a substantial use on the surrounding land uses. There are residential properties across the street but they're separated by Highway 41 and the sign is also angled narrow side towards them. It's not illuminated. There have been no complaints with the existing 10 foot sign and staff would recommend approval of this variance. I would happy to take any questions at this time. Aller: The existing 10 foot sign, does that have the 2 foot extension on it? Walters: That 10 foot is including the 2 foot extension. It's 8 feet and then with the 2 foot banner mounts. Aller. And by not being in the triangle, sight triangle then we're fairly certain that there are no safety issues as a result of the place of the sign. Walters: Engineering looked it over. Their only condition was they wanted language in the encroachment agreement that if the alignment of the highway were ever to change and safety issues were to emerge we could require it to relocate but given the current location of the highway they were not concerned. Aller: It's a conforming use now? Non -conforming use. Walters: Yep. Aller: And so if they were to, if they were to stop running the camp would that use seize? And therefore the sign be taken down. Walters: I will defer to the Development Director on that one. Aanenson: So it is a legal non -conforming use. That's a good question. That could be a condition you put that maybe it runs with the camp site and that another use would come forward. I think a couple of things that MacKenzie didn't mention is we looked at the pole standards themselves. Trying to get them to be kind of architecturally more woodsy kind of instead of just a straight pole. It's not lit so it fits into that so I think anybody else going out there would want a different type of use but that is a good question and I think we can, if you so choose we could add a condition on there that it ties specifically to Camp Tanadoona. Aller: Alright, thank you. Any other questions based on my questions or the presentation? Seeing none if the applicant would like to come forward. If you could state your name and address for the record sir. Justin Schweigert: My name is Justin Schweigert and I work for Campfire Minnesota located, we manage Camp Tanadoona which is located at 3300 Tanadoona Drive. 2 Chanhassen Planning Commission — May 2, 2017 Aller: Welcome. Justin Schweigert: Thank you. So essentially MacKenzie covered a lot of why we would like a variance for the sign. One of the problems we have in the summertime is the vegetation. Last year I measured at around 8 feet so it obstructs a good portion of our sign making it obstructed to parents dropping off you know children for day camp and also for other rental groups that attend Camp Tanadoona. The other thing is given the proximity north of the drive it does tend to confuse some of our users, especially if they're coming from the south. A lot of times they pass Tanadoona Drive before they realize where they're supposed to turn to reach the camp so those are the main two reasons we would like a variance to increase the height of the sign and also change the location. Aller: Great. Any questions for the applicant at this point in time? Seeing none. Thank you very much sir. Appreciate it. Justin Schweigert: Thank you. Aller: At this point I'll open up the public hearing portion of this item. Any person wishing to come forward and speak either for or against the item before us can do so. Seeing no one come forward I'll close the public hearing portion of the item and open it up for discussion amongst the commissioners. Tietz: It looks like a good solution. Weick: It makes sense. Aller: Pretty straight forward. I think the applicant's taken into consideration several items. Not only am I not concerned about the placement of this sign for present, if it's changed, having safety concerns but I think it addresses some of the safety concerns in parents and individuals driving by looking. Trying to stop. Having to relocate or try to think about how they're going to alter their path so I think it actually will save some safety concerns and address those. Madsen: Will we tie it to the Camp Tanadoona use? Aller: I think it should be because it's going to be on city property and. Aanenson: Yeah I was going to say there's actually probably two ways to approach it. One they're doing an encroachment agreement to our property so as part of the encroachment agreement we would maybe put on there that it would be tied and that might be the more appropriate place to tie that, the encroachment agreement to that site. I think the only reason it would move, the sign as MacKenzie has stated if there's a realignment. Whether it's Tanadoona or 41 because it is a regional draw. People are looking to see the queuing that were to go in so I Chanhassen Planning Commission — May 2, 2017 think we can either add it, you give us direction and we'll find the appropriate place to either put it in the encroachment agreement that is tied to Camp Tanadoona or the conditions of approval. Aller: I think that's probably an appropriate place because it's tied then to the city use. Aanenson: Yeah. Tietz: Andrew? Aller: Yes. Tietz: Kate, if the property did sell some time in the future and became residential property, if that sign is on city property it would, it wouldn't transfer anyhow would it? Aanenson: I wouldn't think so. That's what I'm saying. I think that's probably the appropriate place to put it is the encroachment agreement. I would agree. Tietz: Right, right, okay. Just want to clarify. Aller: Any further discussion? Okay I'll entertain a motion if there is one to be made. Madsen: I will make a motion. Aller: Thank you. Commissioner Madsen. Madsen: The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends approval of the variance request to allow a 7.75 foot height variance for a monument sign for Camp Tanadoona located at 3300 Tanadoona Drive subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision. Aller: I have a motion. Do I have a second? Undestad: Second. Yusuf: Second. Aller: Having a valid motion and second, any further discussion? Madsen moved, Undestad seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends approval of the variance request to allow a 7.75 foot height variance for a monument sign for Camp Tanadoona located at 3300 Tanadoona Drive subject to the following conditions and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision: El Chanhassen Planning Commission — May 2, 2017 The sign's height measured from grade shall not exceed 12.75 feet, including temporary banner mounts. 2.

All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0. PUBLIC HEARING: 3622 RED CEDAR POINT ROAD: REOUEST FOR A VARIANCE FOR A GARAGE ROOF HEIGHT. Walters: Alright this is Planning Case 2017-09. 3622 Red Cedar Point Road variance. The applicant is requesting to intensify a non -conforming garage by increasing it's height by 2 feet. It's located at 3622 Red Cedar Point. This area is zoned residential. Typical zoning is a 20,000 square foot lot. 30 foot front yard setbacks. 10 foot side yard setbacks. 25 percent hardcover and residential buildings are limited to 35 feet in height in this zoning area. As I mentioned this is a non -conforming use. I was not able to ascertain the date of the original, original house but I believe it was in the mid 60's. That house is shown in, oh I'm sorry it cleared my pointer on me. In red here. In 1983 that house was demolished but the original detached garages were allowed, were kept so those are non -conforming uses that are located within the front yard setback and side yard setback. When the new house was built in 1983 it was attached to one of the existing detached garages and the existing conditions on the property are the pre-existing garages are in blue here and you can see here where this one's in the front yard setback and this area in red is the section that requires the height variance. The applicant is allowed to replace any non- conforming structure at it's current intensity. However because they are proposing to increase the height of the garage that is in the side and front yard setback they require a variance because Chanhassen Planning Commission — May 2, 2017 it's intensifying the non -conformity. They will not be encroaching more into the setback but it will be taller within the setback. So the proposed project is increasing the height of the garage to 15.5 feet. That's a 2 foot increase in height. The goal of doing this is to allow them to replace the existing 7 foot high garage doors with 8 foot high garage doors. As I mentioned this isn't going to increase the encroachment to the setback. It's just the height of the structure. The applicant has stated they need 8 foot high garage doors to allow them to park taller vehicles within the garage and to store larger accessory vehicles. Essentially as time's gone on vehicles have gotten larger and the original garage height is no longer sufficient. You can see there's a little bit of a height differential between this section which was the original detached garage and the part that was built in 1983. The other purpose of raising is going to be to even out that roof line. This center section would increase by one foot. This section would increase by two feet. And then over here on the left is just a full scope of work they're doing. Most of this does not require the variance but just to provide some context. They will be removing a non -conforming structure in a shed, deck and patio back here and stairs here which will decrease the property's non -conforming hard cover. I believe this one is being rebuilt exactly as it was and then as I mentioned this section is going to be expanded and this addition is legal and within code and does not require a variance. The proposed height is significantly less than would theoretically be allowed by city code for the region were outside the setbacks. Residential garage doors are typically 7 or 8 feet. Most new houses, maybe not most. A lot of new houses are going in with 8 foot garage doors so it's not an unreasonable or atypical garage door size. As the applicant noted larger vehicles cannot fit under the 7 foot garage doors. The city code does not restrict garage door height within residential districts. In theory individuals can put in 12 foot garage doors if they choose. Regarding the general neighborhood. It's one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. Many properties are non -conforming. I was able to find 12 variances granted for 29 properties within 500 square feet and staff recommends approval of this variance. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them at this time. Aller: Any questions for staff at this point? Seeing none we'll go ahead and ask the applicant to come forward. If you could state your name and address for the record sir. Steve Keuseman: Yeah I'm Steve Keuseman. I've lived at 3622 Red Cedar Point Road for on and off for 54 years. Aller: Welcome. Tell us about your project. Steve Keuseman: We're actually remodeling the whole house and we're rebuilding the garages because as he stated that one garage that we want the new roof on, well it's going to be a new garage and with the additional height. That garage was built in about 1965. My father built that and you know back then the existing vehicles were a lot lower than they are now. Like my son has a Suburban that has roof racks on it. We can barely get that in the garage. And if you can get it in the garage you can't even hardly jack it up to change your oil so that's part of the reason why we need the height. Plus you know if you're carrying a ladder or 2 by 4 or something you just you know bang, you hit the light in the ceiling and that and so that's part of it. And then it'd 51 Chanhassen Planning Commission — May 2, 2017 just be a lot nicer for things. My son has a boat also that he backs in the garage and has a wakeboard tower on it. He can't put his wakeboard tower up in the garage so like if he wants to get in the boat and clean it out, take things in or out or something, he can't lift the tower up in the garage. He couldn't put it, he'd have to have about a 10 foot door, high door to back it in with the tower up. But he'd just like to be able to put it up once it's in the garage you know. Like I say we've lived there for 54 years and my son is going to, my son and his wife are going to live there also because we have like a full apartment downstairs. We built in '84. We built it that way at that time and we wanted my parents were going to live downstairs and I was going to take care of my parents in their later years. Well unfortunately things didn't work out that way and but hopefully it will work out that way now and we plan on living there another 54 years so we really like the area. We like Chanhassen so we'd just like 2 more feet in the garage you know in the height. Aller: We love Chanhassen too sir. Just for the record your son is not going to live in the garage right? Steve Keuseman: No, no, no, no, no. Aller: Just when he's in hot water. Steve Keuseman: You want to talk Matthew? Okay no. And by the way he is a Captain on the fire department here in Chan. Aller: Awesome, thank you. Steve Keuseman: So I don't know Bob do you want to say anything? Bob Mattson: They pretty much said it. Steve Keuseman: Yeah I didn't really have to say anything. The gentleman over here pretty much said all I want to say. I think my son's wife actually sent in a letter saying the reasons why we wanted to do this you know. Aller: Great. Steve Keuseman: And it's not for, we don't have any ulterior motives. We just want a little more height in the ceiling you know. Aller: Awesome, well thank you very much sir. Steve Keuseman: Yeah thank you. 7 Chanhassen planning Commission — May 2, 2017 Aller: Any questions? None. Alright we'll open up the public hearing portion of this item. Anyone wishing to come forward to speak for or against the request can do so at this time. Seeing no one coming forward to speak we'll close the public hearing and open it up for discussion. Weick: It's a good project. Tietz: Andrew it looks like, if I may ask the gentleman, the owner. Aller: Commissioner Tietz. Tietz: It looks like where the excavation where you took out that free standing garage closest to the road. Steve Keuseman: Yeah. Tietz: It looks like you found a little bit of rubble under there. Steve Keuseman: Well yeah, yeah. It bad the old walls where they were rock and cement. Tietz: Yeah. Steve Keuseman: Yeah so. Tietz: Yeah it looks like you ran into some interesting things there. Steve Keuseman: Oh yeah. See my dad, a lot of the stuff that was in there was from my father so we had, and the foundation wasn't safe. I didn't want, see there was a basement. There's a basement under that garage. Tietz: Ob there was. Steve Keuseman: And we're going to rebuild it with a basement under it so on top we can store a car and underneath we can put our lawnmowers and stuff. Tietz: Interesting, okay. Aller: Thank you. Tietz: Thank you yeah. Aller: Any additional questions based on Commissioner Tietz' question? No, okay. Any comments? I think it's a great project. I think it's certainly limiting itself to the needs of the Chanhassen Planning Commission — May 2, 2017 applicant which is what we always want to do when granting a variance so I would be voting in favor. Any other comments? Would someone like to make a motion? Yusuf: I can do it. Alter: Commissioner Yusuf. Yusuf The Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves a variance request to allow an intensification of an existing non -conforming use by raising the attached garage height to 15.5 feet within the required front and side yard setbacks, subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision. Alter: I have a motion. Do I have a second? Weick: Second. Undestad: Second. Alter: Having a motion and a second, any further discussion? Yusuf moved, Weick seconded that the Chanhassen Board of Appeals and Adjustments approves a variance request to allow an intensification of an existing non -conforming use by raising the attached garage height to 15.5 feet within the required front and side yard setbacks, subject to the following conditions and adopts the attached Findings of Fact and Decision: The applicant must apply for and receive a building permit. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0. Alter: Good luck sir. Steve Keuseman: Thank you. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commission Yusuf noted the verbatim and summary Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting dated April 18, 2017 as presented. COMMISSION PRESENTATIONS. None. ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS. Alter: City Council action update. 0 Chanhassen Planning Commission — May 2, 2017 Aanenson: Well we didn't have any items that went to the last City Council meeting. I just remind everybody next Monday we're having the 50'" Anniversary of the City so that's going to be right out here in front of City Hall so anybody that wants to come to that 5:30 and cake and sandwiches and a ceremony. Aller: And that invitation is not only to the Planning Commission but those of you at home as well. Aanenson: Right. Yusuf: Isn't there a weather permitting comment. Aanenson: Yeah, yeah. If it's raining they'll come inside but right now it says 69 and sunny so. Yusuf. Awesome. Aller: It's always 69 and sunny here. Aanenson: Exactly, perfect. Just take a minute to go through the Planning Commission upcoming items. Aller: Please. Aanenson: We have scheduled for the May 16a', your next meeting is the Avienda. We've talked to the applicant about that. There's some issues that I'm not sure we've got enough detail to continue with the report so we've asked for some additional time. I'm not sure where we are on that so we'll let you know. If not we didn't schedule anything for the comp plan because we figured that would take quite a bit of time so if that does move we will let you know as soon as possible. Hopefully we'll know by tomorrow and then we would move that to the June 6b meeting. Therefore we'd probably move some of those other land use items down. We are working on the Frontier project. Sharmeen AI-Jaff is working on that. I think the architecture is coming together really nice so you'll see that with the Aldi. That also may bump down a meeting. We had that scheduled for the June 6a' but that may bump down. We'll find out. Their submittal date is this Friday so we'll keep you posted on that. And then also the Klingelhutz property. We have a good project on there. A townhouse project so I think that will also be coming in potentially June 20"' so you've got a couple of big meetings coming up here. And as I stated before we're trying to supplement, put some of the chapters in and get you up to speed on those before we have some public comment as we move to July and August and then have some, take those out to National Night Out and the 4a' of July so we'll be trying to get your more information on that. So that's all I have right now. Those are the bigger projects that are coming in. MacKenzie might have a couple other variances coming forward so that's it and I'll keep you posted on upcoming agendas. 10 Chanhassen Planning Commission — May 2, 2017 Aller: Great, thank you. Any further items? Seeing none and hearing none I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Weick moved to adjourn the meeting. Chairman Aller stated it was non - debatable.

(Note: a motion for denial and appropriate findings of fact are also included at the end of the report.) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant is proposing replacing their existing 10-foot high ground low profile sign with a 12.75-foot high ground low profile sign. Both the existing and proposed signs have 24 square feet of display area and their height includes 2-foot high mounts for temporary banners. The proposed sign location is located on city property and would require an encroachment agreement. The camp's rural residential zoning limits ground low profile signs to 5 feet in height and 24 square feet of display area. The proposed location is approximately 7 feet below the grade of Highway 41, and the applicant has reported that the area's vegetation grows to approximately 8 feet in height during the summer. Due to Tanadoona Drive not being constructed within the designated right of way, the existing sign is located a significant distance from the intersection. This creates both visibility and wayfinding issues. The applicant believes the site's topographical features, parcel configuration, and Camp Tanadoona's status as a unique use within Chanhassen justify the requested variance. Staff is recommending approval of this variance request.

Finding: The elevation change between the highway and sign location combined with the height of the surrounding vegetation during the summer months constitutes a hardship cause by reason of topography or other conditions. Granting a height variance to elevate the sign's display are above the vegetation mitigates this hardship, and does not adversely affect the permit and intent of the sign code. 5.

Sign Variance Findings: a. The City Council, upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission, may grant a variance from the requirement of this ordinance where it is shown that by reason of topography or other conditions, strict compliance with the requirements of this ordinance would cause a hardship; provided that a variance may be granted only if the variance does not adversely affect the spirit or intent of this ordinance. Finding: The existing non -conforming sign is of adequate height to provide visibility from Highway 41 and Tanadoona Drive, granting additional height would be grating a variance beyond what is needed to mitigate the areas unique topography. Additionally, allowing a 12.75 square foot ground low profile sign in an area zoned for residential use with a maximum sign height of 5 feet violates the sign ordinance's intent to limit the prominence and size of signs located near residential developments. Granting the requested variance would be in excess of the extent required to mitigate the hardship and would run contrary to the spirit and intent of the ordinance. 5.

(Note: a motion for denial and appropriate findings of fact are also included at the end of the report.) SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The property owner is requesting a 7.75-foot height variance to allow a 12.75-foot high sign along State Highway 41 (Hazeltine Blvd). Granting this variance would allow Camp Tanadoona to increase the height of its existing sign by 2.75 feet. The city's sign code restricts signs in Rural Residential Districts to a maximum height of 5-feet; however, unique topography and the size of the highway right of way would severely limit the visibility of a 5-foot high sign. The applicant has proposed a sign location that is located on city property and they would need to enter into an encroachment agreement.

The city has a relatively high level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation from established standards. This is a quasi-judicial decision. Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. PROPOSAL/SUMMARY Camp Tanadoona is requesting a variance from the Rural Residential District's ground low profile sign 5-foot height limit. The proposed sign location is approximately 83 feet from the centerline of Tanadoona Drive and approximately 91 feet from the center line of Highway 41. The applicant reports that this location is roughly 7 feet below the grade of the highway. The sign is located in a natural area and the applicant has stated that last year the grasses grew to heights in excess of eight feet. Planning Commission Camp Tanadoona — Sign Variance May 2, 2017 Page 3 of 8 The applicant's current sign is a non -conforming use that is 8 feet high, with poles for attaching temporary banners extending an additional 2 feet above the sign's display area for a total height of 10 feet. The applicant has to mow the grasses around the sign in order to maintain visibility. The applicant has also reported that due to the existing sign's distance form Tanadoona Drive many visitors unfamiliar with area struggle to find the camp.

On July 23, 2002, a sign permit was issued to replace an existing sign for Camp Tanadoona near the intersection of Highway 41 and Tanadoona Drive. In July 2009, Camp Tanadoona applied for and subsequently withdrew a request for a sign variance for a new sign to be located near the intersection of Highway 41 and Tanadoona Drive. On October 10, 2009, a sign permit was issued to replace an existing sign form Camp Tanadoona near the intersection of Highway 41 and Tanadoona Drive. Existing Location: The sign's current location is approximately 93 feet northwest of the centerline of Highway 41 and approximately 155 feet northeast of the centerline Tanadoona Drive. It is located in a regional low spot which collects a great deal of water from the surrounding area, and is characterized by a seasonal abundance of tall vegetation. This general area of Camp Tanadoona's property has been left as a natural area do to its proximity to several wetlands. The specific portion where the sign is located is a section of right of way for the Planning Commission Camp Tanadoona — Sign Variance May 2, 2017 Page 5 of 8 originally planned alignment of Tanadoona drive; however, the road actually connects with Highway 41 further to the south. Proposed Location: The proposed location for the sign is in a small triangle of city property north of the intersection of Tanadoona Drive and Hazeltine Blvd. This location is part of the regional low spot and has similar vegetative characteristics as the existing location. This area is separated from a larger city owned outlot by Tanadoona Drive. The city has no plans to unitize this parcel. NEIGHBORHOOD Surrounding Land Use: Camp Tanadoona is bordered by residential districts to the North and East. South of the camp is Westwood Community Church along with more residential districts. West of the Camp is lake Minnewashta. Sign Variances within 500feet: Highway 41 and Long Acres Drive: Variance Granted for 8-foot high monument sign. This residential development sign was installed without a permit at a height of 8 feet in 1994 due to ambiguity in the ordinance. Council chose to grant a variance rather require the developer to replace the sign. ANALYSIS Generally, the sign code would restrict ground low profile signs in Rural Residential Districts to 5 feet in height; however, the zoning code's nonconfortning uses and structures clause would all would allow Camp Tanadoona to replace their existing ground low profile sign in its current Planning Commission Camp Tanadoona — Sign Variance May 2, 2017 Page 6 of 8 location at its existing height of 8 feet, with an additional 2 feet of height allowed for the temporary banner mounts. Camp Tanadoona's existing and proposed sign both conform to the sign code's maximum display area of 24 square feet. The sign code allows the issuance of a variance from the requirements of the sign code where it can be shown that "by reason of topography or other conditions, strict compliance with the requirements of this article would cause a hardship; provided that a variance may be granted only if the variance does not adversely affect the spirt or interest of this article." Staff agrees with the applicant's assertion that the drop in elevation between the highway and sign location combined with the height of the local vegetation constitutes a hardship. While the sign's existing height is sufficient to mitigate that change in grade, it is not enough to allow the sign to overtop the surrounding vegetation. In order to maintain visibility the applicant has to mow the area around the sign during the summer. The requested variance would place the bottom of the sign display area 7 feet and 9 inches above grade, allowing the display area to overtop the vegetation which the applicant has measured at around 8 feet in height. Granting the requested variance would be in line with the principle that variances should be granted only to the extent necessary to mitigate the hardship. Granting the applicant enough height to clear the vegetation would also mean that they will be able to allow the surrounding vegetation to remain undisturbed throughout the growing season. The sign code's rational in limiting the height and size of signs within residential districts is that such signs exist to aid in creating a sense of place for residents, assist emergency responders in finding neighborhoods, and serve to identify neighborhood level institutions like churches. The other goal was to minimize the impact of these signs on adjacent residential properties. While Camp Tanadoona is zoned Rural Residential, it is a unique use within Chanhassen with a regional draw. It attracts visitors unfamiliar with the city who use the sign to assist in finding the camp. The sign also serves a commercial function as it advertises the camp's presence to motorists Planning Commission Camp Tanadoona — Sign Variance May 2, 2017 Page 7 of 8 traveling along Highway 41. Due to these factors, the sign ordinances overall intent to ensure that business have sufficient visibility should also be considered in determining if the requested variance meets the intent of the city's sign code. There are residential properties across from the proposed sign location; however, they are separated from the sign by Highway 41 and its 150 feet right of way. The proposed sign is non -Illuminated and is aligned perpendicular to the highway. This means that its visual impact on the residential uses is minimal, despite its height. Engineering has reviewed the proposed sign location, and has determined that its distance from the intersection of Highway 41 and Tanadoona Drive mean that it will not interfere with the intersection's line of sight. Engineering recommends approval of the variance, so long as language is included in the encroachment agreement stipulating that if either Highway 41 or Tanadoona Drive are widened the city can require the sign to be moved if it impeded the sightlines of the expanded intersection. SUMMARY Camp Tanadoona is a unique use in Chanhassen, and it relies on its sign for advertising and also to help out of town visitors find its location. Granting the requested sign height variance would serve to mitigate the impact of the property's unique topography and local conditions on the sign's visibility. The proposed sign will not have a negative impact on public safety, and staff does not anticipate that it will have an appreciable impact on the surrounding residential properties. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the variance request to allow a height variance of 7.75 feet, and adopts the attached Finding of Fact and Decision. The approved sign variance is subject to the following conditions: 1. The sign's height measured from grade shall not exceed 12.75 feet, including temporary banner mounts. 2. The sign shall be constructed with individual pole wraps to minimize the visual impact of its supports. 3. The sign shall be a minimum of 45 feet from the northern edge of Tanadoona Drive and a minimum of 10 feet west of the Highway 41 right of way. 4. The applicant must enter into an encroachment agreement with the city in order to locate the ground low profile sign on city property. This encroachment agreement shall include language stating that if Highway 41 and/or Tanadoona Drive are Planning Commission Camp Tanadoona — Sign Variance May 2, 2017 Page 8 of 8 widened, the city can require the sign to be moved or removed if the sign's location impedes sightlines. 5. The applicant must apply for and receive the required sign permits from the city. 6. The ground low profile sign must meet the sign code's design criteria. 7. Temporary banners may only be displayed from January is' to September 3&. 8. Temporary banners must be maintained in good repair. Should the Planning Commission recommend denial of the variance request to allow a 7.75 foot height variance, it is recommended that the planning Commission adopt the following motion and attached Finding of Fact and Decision: "The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends denial of the variance request to allow a height variance of 7.75 feet, and adopts the attached Finding of Fact and Decision.

Finding: The elevation change between the highway and sign location combined with the height of the surrounding vegetation during the summer months constitutes a hardship cause by reason of topography or other conditions. Granting a height variance to elevate the sign's display are above the vegetation mitigates this hardship, and does not adversely affect the permit and intent of the sign code. 5.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN FVA Chairman CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISON I� Application of Justin Schweigart on behalf of Camp Tanadoona for sign variance to allow a 12.75-foot high ground low profile sing with 24 square feet of display area near the intersection of Highway 41 and Camp Tanadoona Drive. On May 2, 2017 the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled meeting to consider the application of Justin Schweigart on behalf of Camp Tanadoona for a sign for the properties located at 3300 Tanadoona Drive (250083200) and at no address (250092600).

Sign Variance Findings: a. The City Council, upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission, may grant a variance from the requirement of this ordinance where it is shown that by reason of topography or other conditions, strict compliance with the requirements of this ordinance would cause a hardship; provided that a variance may be granted only if the variance does not adversely affect the spirit or intent of this ordinance. Finding: The existing non -conforming sign is of adequate height to provide visibility from Highway 41 and Tanadoona Drive, granting additional height would be grating a variance beyond what is needed to mitigate the areas unique topography. Additionally, allowing a 12.75 square foot ground low profile sign in an area zoned for residential use with a maximum sign height of 5 feet violates the sign ordinance's intent to limit the prominence and size of signs located near residential developments. Granting the requested variance would be in excess of the extent required to mitigate the hardship and would run contrary to the spirit and intent of the ordinance. 5. The planning report, Planning Case #17-08 dated May 2, 2017, prepared by MacKenzie Walters, is incorporated herein. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommends denial of the variance request for a 7.75-foot height variance. ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 2'a day of May, 2017.

The sign location proposal lies on the northwest side of the Highway 41 and Tanadoona Drive intersection, approximately 83 ft. north of Tanadoona Drive and 91 ft, west of Highway 42. Please refer to the proposed sign location map. The proposed sign dimensions are as follows: 0 96" W x 36" H permanent display area. o Height from ground level to bottom edge of the display area of the permanent would measure 93" (7" 9")• o Proposal calls for mounting brackets above the permanent sign forthe display of temporary banners. Banners including fasteners will measure 68" W x 24" H. The actual display banner will measure 48" W x 24" H. o The proposed banner schedule is as follows: • January — May: "Registration Is Open" banner. • March, April, June, August— one day events when we post "Event Today" banner. • In the future, we may want to display a banner that promotes camp rentals and field trips. The timing forthis is TBD, but likely would be for about z months each year if possible. Justification • Tanadoona's current sign resides in a relatively low -area resulting in vegetation growth impeding sign visibility during summer months. We believe the increased height of the proposed sign would allow the sign to stand above summer vegetation which has been observed to measure in excess of 8 ft. • Based on user feedback, the existing sign is set -back at a distance from Tanadoona Drive and Highway 43. that not only makes the sign less visible, but confuses camp users who are not familiar with the Tanadoona location. We would like to propose the new sign location be in closer proximity to Tanadoona Drive in the hopes of clearing up any confusion. • The proposed sign location would lie on the City of Chanhassen's property; it is our hope that the City would be willing to enter into an encroachment agreement taking into consideration the granting of a previous sign variance in 2009. • We believe that the current design options would be unobtrusive and respectful to the character of the locality while meeting all other City design criteria.

The more information you give the planning commission and city council the easier it will be for them to approve the proposed variance. It isn't strictly required that the exact graphics are sorted out, but the proposed sign should be very close to what will actually be installed. At a minimum they will need to know: 1) Sign height 2) Sign location 3) General architectural appearance 4) Display size 5) Letter size 6) Placement and size of images/logos I would also recommend providing a conceptual drawing of what the sign will look like when a banner is attached. I think you've answered all of my questions about the banner for the time being. Most likely staff will propose condition limiting display to a certain time period (Jan 1 to Aug 31 for example), one requiring that banners be "in good repair and securely anchored", and potentially a requirement that they be compatible with the general appearance and color of the sign. Please let me know if you have any further questions. -MacKenzie MacKenzie Walters Assistant Planner CITY OF CHANHASSEN PH. 952.227.1132 FX. 952.227.1110 www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us rr r From: Justin Schweigart f mailto:Justins@campfiremn.org] Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2017 3:26 PM To: Walters, MacKenzie <MWalters@ci.chanhassen.mn.us> Subject: RE: Camp Tanadoona MacKenzie, Thank you for your feedback and willingness to work with us on a possible new location for our sign, it is greatly appreciated. We would like to pursue a variance and I will work on completing the documents to start the process. Currently the banners we use are affixed to mounts above the sign per the following schedule: January — May: "Registration Is Open" banner.48"W x 24" H. • March, April, June, August —one day events when we post "Event Today" banner. 48"W x 24" H. • In the future, we may want to hang a banner that promotes camp rentals and field trips. The timing for this is TBD, but likely would be for about 2 months each year if possible. Moving forward, will we need to submit a design detailing what the actual new sign will contain as far as graphics? If so, could you give me feedback as to the level of detail (e.g. size, text, images, colors, etc)? If you have any other questions about the banners, please let me know.

The location indicated by the black dot is within Hazeltine Blvd's right of way which means that the location is not possible. Your second proposed location, indicated by the red dot, is located on City property; however, I believe that we can accommodate that location through an encroachment agreement. Since your proposed sign is larger than your current sign you will also need to go through the variance process, but staff would recommend that the planning commission and city council approve the variance request. Please understand that the planning commission and city council may or may not agree with staff's recommendation. I would also like to talk with you a little more about the proposed banner attachments on the sign. Typically banners require temporary sign permits, but it sounds like your existing sign has banner mounts and the camp is a unique use in the community. I want to find a way to balance the City's interest in monitoring and regulating temporary signage with making sure that your new sign meets your needs. I will likely recommend placing conditions upon the variance limiting the dates that banners can be up, size, and style of banners. Please let me know how you typically utilize your existing banner mounts so that I can make sure that any conditions staff recommends are not over onerous. At this point your next step is to submit a formal variance request. I believe I sent you the link to the City's webpage and all of the necessary documents. After I receive the formal request the variance will need to be heard by the Planning Commission and City Council. A couple upcoming submission dates and variance timelines are provided below: 1) Submit by: March 17 PC: April 18 CC: May 8 2) Submit by: March 31 PC: May 2 CC: May 22 3) Submit by: April 14 PC: May 16 CC: June 12 Once you are ready to submit a formal proposal, please let me know and we can set up a meeting to go over any concerns and potential conditions that would be placed on the sign variance. To recap, I believe that staff would recommend approving a variance request to place a sign similar to the one in your concept sketch at the location indicated by the red dot. In order to do this an encroachment agreement would be needed (to be entered into after the variance is approved), and it is likely that staff would request conditions be placed on the variance regarding the size, display period, and/or styles of banners. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll do my best to address them.

The first proposed location is closer to Highway 41 and Tanadoona Drive. The second location is closer to Tanadoona Drive and remains the same distance from Highway 41 as our current sign. I believe either of these locations would increase out sign's visibility and make things less confusing for camp users that are not familiar with our location. We would also like to propose increasing the overall height of the sign. Currently the vegetation in summer months grows to a height that makes our sign less visible. The vegetation surrounding the current sign location reaches roughly 8 feet in height. I have also attached a word document outlining our proposal, and a document that illustrates the dimensions of our current sign that was installed in 2009. The new sign would be of similar dimensions to the existing sign. I would appreciate any feedback you could give me on our proposal.

Camp Fire Light the fire within Variance Request • Camp Fire Minnesota (CFMN) would like to receive a variance in regards to the location and dimensions of a new ground low -profile sign to be installed near CFMN's Camp Tanadoona site. The sign location proposal lies on the northwest side of the Highway 43. and Tanadoona Drive intersection, approximately 83 ft. north of Tanadoona Drive and 93. ft. west of Highway 41. Please refer to the proposed sign location map. The proposed sign dimensions are as follows: 0 96" W x 36" H permanent display area. o Height from ground level to bottom edge of the display area of the permanent would measure 93" (7' 9"). o Proposal calls for mounting brackets above the permanent sign for the display of temporary banners. Banners including fasteners will measure 68" W x 24" H. The actual display banner will measure 48" W x 24" H. o The proposed banner schedule is as follows: • January —May: "Registration Is Open" banner. • March, April, June, August — one day events when we post "Event Today" banner. • In the future, we may want to display a banner that promotes camp rentals and field trips. The timing for this is TBD, but likely would be for about z months each year if possible. Justification • Tanadoona's current sign resides in a relatively low -area resulting in vegetation growth impeding sign visibility during summer months. We believe the increased height of the proposed sign would allow the sign to stand above summer vegetation which has been observed to measure in excess of 8 ft. • Based on user feedback, the existing sign is set -back at a distance from Tanadoona Drive and Highway 41that not only makes the sign less visible, but confuses camp users who are not familiar with the Tanadoona location. We would like to propose the new sign location be in closer proximity to Tanadoona Drive in the hopes of clearing up any confusion. • The proposed sign location would lie on the City of Chanhassen's property; it is our hope that the City would be willing to enter into an encroachment agreement taking into consideration the granting of a previous sign variance in 2009. • We believe that the current design options would be unobtrusive and respectful to the character of the locality while meeting all other City design criteria.

The first proposed location is closer to Highway 41 and Tanadoona Drive. The second location is closer to Tanadoona Drive and remains the same distance from Highway 41 as our current sign. I believe either of these locations would increase out sign's visibility and make things less confusing for camp users that are not familiar with our location. We would also like to propose increasing the overall height of the sign. Currently the vegetation in summer months grows to a height that makes our sign less visible. The vegetation surrounding the current sign location reaches roughly 8 feet in height. I have also attached a word document outlining our proposal, and a document that illustrates the dimensions of our current sign that was installed in 2009. The new sign would be of similar dimensions to the existing sign. I would appreciate any feedback you could give me on our proposal.
