These variances were approved at the Planning Commission on March 26, 2025.


Meeting House Church is requesting two sign variances for two of their proposed monument signs. The first variance request is a 6 foot height variance to allow a 14-foot tall sign adjacent to HWY 62 (sign #3 in the applicant submittal). The second request is a setback request from the ordinary high water elevation (OHWE) of naturally occurring lakes or ponds (Sec. 36-1268). The applicant is replacing an existing sign at the corner of Olinger and Colonial Way with a new sign that will be a minimum of 20' from the OHWE (sign #1 in the applicant submittal). The OHWE was unable to be surveyed due to the snow/weather so the applicant has noted the proposed sign will be a minimum of 20' from the OHWE but may end up being located even further from the OHWE than that. The proposed signage meets the other sign requirements of the code.

Public Input- 6200 Colonial Way- Meeting House Church Sign Variances

The City of Edina offers several ways for people to provide input on development projects. Regardless of the method, all public input is considered, so people need to use only one method. 

Instructions for leaving a public comment below:

  • Your comment will be posted and publicly viewable as soon as you hit 'Submit'.
  • You will not be able to edit or remove your comment.
  • Please introduce yourself, your neighborhood and your thoughts about this project.
    Example: Barbara Smith, The Heights. The project is two blocks from my home and my children would have to walk past it every day on their way to school. Please consider adding sidewalks to this project.

Other ways to provide comment:

1 - Leave a voicemail with your public input at 952-826-0377. Staff will submit the transcribed voicemail to Better Together Edina. (Available once project application is submitted)

2 - One public hearing will take place for variance requests in the City Hall Council Chambers, 4801 W. 50th St. Attend the meeting in person to give public input or watch the meeting live from home on Edina TV (Comcast Channels 813 or 16) or EdinaMN.gov/LiveMeetings(External link).

Online public input closed 1/9/25. This item will be on the 1/15/25 Planning Commission agenda.

I have no problem with the setback variance for sign 1 as long as the entirety of the sign is within the boundaries of the church's property and will not infringe with the sidewalk traffic. There needs to be ample distance between the sign and the heavily used sidewalk.
