Background
Staff has advised and the Park Board has discussed offering sign space for businesses/advertisers to
purchase on outfield fences at ball fields in City parks (see ATTACHMENT #1 August 21, 2009 memo
from Bart Olson) The current sign ordinance considers this type of sign a billboard, and is prohibited.
Staff presented a proposed amendment to the Economic Development Committee October 6, 2009
meeting. The Committee discussed the amendments and advised to forward the proposal to the ZBA for
consideration and input prior to forwarding to City Council for final consideration. (see ATTACHMENT
#2 Ordinance presented dated 9/30/09).
Notes: I prepared this draft and did not include specific requirements for the sponsorship signs in
terms of property ownership, sign location or sign size.
ZBA reviewed the draft ordinance on November 4, 2009 and December 2, 2009. The attached redline
draft ordinance reflects the ZBA recommendation as well as corrects typographical errors in the current
ordinance (see ATTACHMENT #3 Draft Ordinance dated 12/5/09).
Notes: The ZBA did not recommend that the ordinance as I proposed was appropriate. The ZBA
recommended that the sponsorship signs to be permissible be consistent with the signs described
by the August 21, 2009 memo and attachments.
December 8, 2009 memo from Bart Olson (ATTACHMENT #4) requests additional provisions allowing
signs to be displayed on the backstops of ballfields.
Notes: The ZBA did not discuss signs on backstops in detail. This location wasn’t described by
the August 2009 information. The ZBA did recommend the outfield signs only face the playing
field because that would be in the direction of the intended viewers and this would avoid a
situation of having banners facing public ways and residential areas.
Attached are aerial maps (ATTACHMENT #5) of Beecher and Bridge park ballfields. The
orientation of the backstops would allow for signage to be displayed away from the ballfield, as
Bart Olson’s December 8, 2009 memo requests without the signs directly facing a public way or
residential neighborhood, which seemed to be the concern of the ZBA members.
The December 15, 2009 (ATTACHMENT #6) revised draft ordinance includes a provision addressing the
Park Board’s concerns described by the December 8 memo.
