This letter is to formally notify you that on March 13, 2017, the Chanhassen City Council voted
to approve the following motion:
"The Chanhassen City Council approves the variance request to allow a wall sign along the east
fagade of the building at 400-416 West 78' Street, and a monument sign located within the parking
lot's 10 -foot setback, subject to the conditions of approval and adopts the attached findings of fact:
1. The applicant must apply for and receive the required sign permits from the city.
2. The applicant must enter into an encroachment agreement with the city in order to locate
the ground low profile sign within the drainage and utility easement.
3. The wall sign on the east fagade must comply with all provisions of the City Code, and
the Colonial Square Shopping Center Exterior Building Sign Plan, excepting the
provision in the later that limits signage to the south elevation.
4. The ground low profile sign must meet the sign code's design criteria, and follow the
standards for the Central Business District (CBD).
5. The ground low profile sign may not be located within the sight distance triangle depicted
