PCR2018034 High School ScoreboardAMENDED
RESOLUTION #P.C. 034-2018
APPROVAL OF A NEW SCORBOARD FOR MUSKEGO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL STADIUM
LOCATED IN THE NW ¼ OF SECTION 21
(S87 W18509 WOODS ROAD / TAX KEY NO. 2242.999)
WHEREAS, Plans were submitted by Muskego Norway School District for a new scoreboard for the Muskego
High School football stadium (Tax Key No. 2242.999 / S87 W18509 Woods Road), and
WHEREAS, The current scoreboard has issues and is in need of replacement, and
WHEREAS, The current City codes do not specifically address scoreboards, but they are a combination of part
sign and part structure, and
WHEREAS, Since this type of signage/structure does not fit within one specific portion of the code, the City has
determined that Plan Commission review is required for said scoreboard, and
WHEREAS, The proposed scoreboard would be all digital and would have the ability to show full video and
could be used for many events other than just for football games (movie nights, graduation, etc.), and
WHEREAS, The scoreboard digital display is proposed to be approximately 17’-2” high by 31’-4” high and will
contain an additional 3 foot tall “Muskego Warrior” text bar topped with an additional 4’-6” Muskego “M” logo,
and
WHEREAS, The sign will be about 10 feet off the ground, which would give the sign an approximate total
height of about 35 feet (+/-), and
WHEREAS, The district wants to be able to sell advertising on the back side of the sign facing Woods Road as
a source of fundraising, but the current code regulations do not allow such commercial advertising, and
WHEREAS, The Committee of the Whole has recently talked about this and is in the process of considering
some possible modifications to the code that may accommodate this future advertising, and
WHEREAS, There are no detailed landscape plans at this time for the proposed signage.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves of the new scoreboard for the Muskego
High School football stadium (Tax Key No. 2242.999).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The scoreboard will be located inside the track on the north end of the
field.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The current code does not allow advertisements to be shown on the back of the
sign, facing Woods Road and before any advertisements can be placed on that portion of the sign, a code
change would first need to be made.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, If a code change is made that allows advertisements on the road facing portion
of the sign, then those advertisements can be added via a sign permit at that time.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a landscape plan will need to be submitted for the area around the
base of each sign according to the General Design Guide before the sign permit can be released.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, A Sign Permit and an Electrical Permit is still required before any signage can
be installed on site.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That failure to comply with the approval contained in this resolution shall result
in the imposition of fines of $100 per day, the initiation of legal action, or both.
