COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE Minutes - 4/10/2018 Unapproved CITY OF MUSKEGO COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MINUTES April 10, 2018 6:30 PM City Hall, W182 S8200 Racine Avenue CALL TO ORDER Mayor Chiaverotti called the meeting to order at 6:47 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Aldermen Wolfe, Hammel, Borgman, Kapusta, Engelhardt, Kubacki and Madden. Also present: City Attorney Warchol, Director of Public Works and Development Kroeger, Planner Trzebiatowski and Deputy Clerk Blenski. Various representatives of the Muskego- Norway School District were also in attendance. STATEMENT OF PUBLIC NOTICE The Deputy Clerk stated that the meeting was noticed in accordance with the open meeting law. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - February 13 and March 13, 2018 Alderman Wolfe moved to approve. Alderman Engelhardt seconded; motion carried. NEW BUSINESS Discussion Regarding the Sign Ordinance - Scoreboards (Ald. Kubacki) Planner Trzebiatowski stated the School District would like to replace the existing scoreboard at the Muskego High School football stadium. The new scoreboard would be digital. The City's current code does not specifically address scoreboards. This is something that should be reviewed in the future. To address this situation for now, the scoreboard alone could be treated partially as an accessory structure and partially as a sign with Plan Commission approval. The School District would like to have advertising or sponsorships on the rear side of the sign (facing Woods Road). This would provide a means to fund the project. However, the City's code prohibits advertising a business that does not operate on that property. Any advertising facing within the stadium would not need to be regulated. Only signage facing the road from a public standpoint would need to be addressed. Planner Trzebiatowski proposes that an ordinance be drafted and made a part of the Sign Code to address scoreboards. Research could include what other communities have in place. Any proposed lighting would require Plan Commission review. Alderman Kubacki expressed concern for the back side of the sign that faces residential properties. There was a unanimous consensus to have Mr. Trzebiatowski research this issue and bring an ordinance forward. Mayor Chiaverotti noted it will take time before a new ordinance could be adopted. ADJOURNMENT Alderman Borgman moved to adjourn at 6:57 p.m. Alderman Madden seconded; motion carried. Minutes taken and transcribed by Jill Blenski, Deputy Clerk.
