Re: Variance for Camp Tanadoona Monument Sign: Planning Case #17-02
Dear Mr. Schweigart:
This letter is to formally notify you that on May 22, 2017, the Chanhassen City Council voted to
approve the following motion:
"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 Finding of Fact and
Decision.
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.
i. 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.
ii. The encroachment agreement shall stipulate that the sigh is to be removed in
the event that Camp Tanadoona closes or relocates.
5. The applicant must apply for and receive the required sign permits from the city.
