SUBJ: Camp Tanadoona Sign Variance- 3300 Tanadoona Drive
Planning Case- #2017-08
PROPOSED MOTION
"The Chanhassen City Council approves 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.
(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.

PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 2,2017 to review the proposed variance.
No members of the public spoke for or against the variance request.
The Planning Commission expressed concern that if Camp Tanadoona were to close or relocate the
variance could be inherited. Staff indicated that language linking the sigh to Camp Tanadoona
would be included in the encroachment agreement.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the variance request. The
Planning Commission minutes of May 2, 2017 are included in a consent agenda item for the May
22, 2017 City Council agenda.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve 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.

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.

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 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.

PROPOSED MOTION:
"The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends approval of the variance request to allow a

(Note: a motion for denial and appropriate findings of fact are also included at the end of the
report.)
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: D14. -
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.

LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The city's discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the proposed
project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance. 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'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.

They believe that a taller sign,located closer to Tanadoona Drive,will allow them to increase
their visibility without having to disrupt the natural area with regular mowing, and will also help
visitors find the camp. In order to achieve these goals they are requesting a variance to install a
12.75 foot-high sign,the top two feet of which are mounts for temporary banners,with 24 square
feet of display area on a portion of city property closer to Tanadoona Drive.

BACKGROUND
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.
SITE CONDITIONS
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 ` " s.'
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 Right of wap for ouginaI aligtune nt ,
abundance of tall vegetation. .fl
This general area of Camp Tanadoona's property has R jt

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.

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 500 feet:
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 nonconforming uses and structures clause would all
would allow Camp Tanadoona to replace their existing ground low profile sign in its current
Planning Commission

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

Camp Tanadoona—Sign Variance

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

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 1'to September 306.

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 maybe 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:
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' 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. 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 1St to September 30th.
2
8. Temporary banners must be maintained in good repair.

CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA
FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISON
IN RE:
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).
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.
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
1
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'I day of May, 2017.

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 41 and Tanadoona
Drive intersection,approximately 83 ft. north of Tanadoona Drive and 91 ft.west of
Highway 41. Please refer to the proposed sign location map.
• The proposed sign dimensions are as follows:
o 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 2 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 41 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.
