BACKGROUND
On February 10, 1997 the City and Don Halla entered into a stipulation agreement to place
one off - premises, non - illuminated, directional sign on the southeast quadrant of the
intersection of Highway 101 and Pioneer Trail. Said sign may not exceed eight (8) feet in
height and seventy-two (72) square feet in size per sign face. The sign may have two sides
back -to -back or "V" shaped.
In 2005, a "V" shaped,

square -foot, EMC off -
premise sign was installed
on the southeast corner of
Highway 101 and Pioneer
Trail. The sign did not

stipulation agreement, as
shown in the photo on
Attachment A. In 2010,
the EMC sign was court
ordered to be removed
from the site.

August 9, 2010
Page 2 of 2
Mr. Halla is requesting to relocate the sign to the nursery site at 10000 Great Plains
Boulevard. The nursery is zoned Agricultural Estate (A2). An amendment to the 1997
Stipulation Agreement is required to relocate the sign.

only, and strictly prohibits them within Agricultural and Residential zoning districts. In
addition to the prohibition of EMC signs, signs in the A2 district are limited to 24 square
feet in area and 5 feet in height. The proposed sign exceeds both requirements and is not
permitted by ordinance.
Compliance Table:

Our File No. 0043.011
Dear Tom:
Direct: (612) 455 -6630
rod.krass@mg
During our last conversation, I indicated that I would be sending you a letter
requesting that the city council consider an amendment to the Stipulation of February 10,
1997. This request relates to the possibility of using the message board sign, presently
being removed from the corner of 101 and Pioneer Trail, as an advertising and message
sign for Halla Nursery. The intent would be to replace the present sign at the nursery
with the message board sign.
We understand that ordinarily this sign would not be permitted on the Halla
Nursery property due to its size. We believe, however, it is certainly within the purview
of the Mayor and city council to make a determination that under the circumstances that
exist here, they will allow the use of the sign.
While the Supreme Court has determined that Mr. Halla is not allowed to keep the
sign at its present location, we are hopeful that the Mayor and city council will recognize
that the $160,000 investment made in the sign came as a request of city staff approving
and then reapproving the sign, as well and approving and reapproving the footings for
this sign. I do understand that the city staff member who issued the permit was unaware

of the 1997 Stipulation, but please know that Mr. Halla understood he had a right to apply
for a new sign permit under that1997 Stipulation and he did so through a legitimate sign
company as required in Chanhassen. The company recommended this size sign because
it was being moved from a conspicuous place right at the intersection of 101 and Pioneer
Trail to a place significantly east and somewhat south of the original sign placement.
This entire situation is most unfortunate and I am hopeful the city will recognize
its role in Mr. Halla's sign investment.
I would appreciate it if you would advise me as to what the next step in this
process should be, as it is certainly an unusual situation we are presently faced with.
will wait to h Ar*om you.
