She recommended that the Commission provide feedback to the applicant and schedule a public hearing for the April 29, 2026, Plan Commission meeting. Krienke asked about the Class 4 level of play designation. Buday explained the purpose of the Class 4 designation was to make them eligible to hold official games and tournaments in the evenings. Otherwise right now they are limited to sunlight only and would like to give a few extra hours of play and help with scheduling the games. Krienke asked if the light glare issue is related to the Class 4 designation. Barrows stated that it had to do with not having enough information in the lighting plan to address the glare issue. The lighting metrics appear to be appropriate for this type of play. It is n ot related necessarily to the Class 4 issue. She said they would need to submit an updated plan of operation to address the frequency of use, hours of operation, more information on the groups coming in, as well as an updated light plan for the next meeting. Hausman asked if they had used temporary lighting. Buday indicated they have in the past, most recently for Homecoming. He also asked if the neighbors had complained or anything at that time. Buday stated no. He thought the height may be an issue. He was hoping to meet with City Engineer to see what is preferred. The height is because of their proximity and with the 50 ft. height, it allows the light to broadcast downward to eliminate any light spill. Julia mentioned the kids were the ones asking for the lights to enhance their school experience. Krienke asked if there was seating for evening games. Buday stated they currently have two portal aluminum bleachers and will be adding another one for home and away teams but do not have a permanent structure.

Julia stated that regulation games start around 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm and run until 8:30 pm. Tuesday and Thursday nights and would not be an every night occurrence. Krienke asked if there was parking there. Buday stated there is a gravel lot north of the driveway where it comes off Nagawicka. Overflow and buses park at the school. Mayor suggested that they reach out to neighbors nearby. Buday mentioned he spoke to a few in the area, and they are generally supportive of them. Mayor might be a good idea and beneficial to reach out to the property owners nearby and their HOA’s. Give an open house to explain what they are doing to temper their fears with facts.

Schult asked if it is like a planned unit development where they can’t divert from the plan. Barrows stated that yes, it is the same section of the code. They must comply with the uses of the zoning district, but the Plan Commission can give them some flexibility in certain circumstances. All of the parcels have to be harmonious and have a uniform look to them. The other big issue was the impervious surface provision.

Schult mentioned that wildlife will be their biggest problem. The area has lots of deer and they eat everything. Widule stated they are working with Wollersheim Winery on how they use their fences. They are still working on the fence plan. Schult suggested they talk to the neighbors on the west side about the plan due to the traffic.
