PCR2018042 High School ScoreboardRESOLUTION #P.C. 042-2018
APPROVAL OF A NEW SCORBOARD LOCATION 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 to relocate a recently approved new
scoreboard for the Muskego High School football stadium (Tax Key No. 2242.999 / S87 W18509 Woods Road),
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 scoreboard will 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 sign is proposed to have an approximate total height of about 36.8 feet (+/-), and
WHEREAS, The district is now proposing a different location for the scoreboard, and
WHEREAS, The new location is just off the north end of the track, south of the long jump pit, about 66 feet
behind the lot line, and
WHEREAS, Typical signage heights allow a 7 foot height at the lot line with an additional foot being allowed for
every 2 feet of setback, which in this case could allow a total maximum height of 40 feet (even though sign s
usually max out at 20 feet).
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves of the new scoreboard for the Muskego
High School football stadium with an approximate setback of 66 feet from the lot line (Tax Key No. 2242.999).
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, A Sign Permit and an Electrical Permit are 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.
