REPORTS
CONSIDERATION AND ACTION ON Mr. Street reported the Plan Commission held a
THE REPORT AND
Public Hearing to consider the request from School
RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLAN
District 113 to replace the existing scoreboard with
COMMISSION ON THE REQUEST FOR
a new, south -facing scoreboard on the north end of
AN AMENDMENT TO THE DEERFIELD the field. The new digital scoreboard would only be

in use during athletic and community events. The
TEXT AMENDMENT FOR A PROPOSED Plan Commission voted 5-0 in favor of the request
DIGITAL SCOREBOARD FOR
with the condition that the petitioner would add a
DEERFIELD HIGH SCHOOL
landscaping buffer in an area mutually agreed on
by the homeowners and the school district.
Deerfield High School Athletic Director Robert Ruiz read the school mission statement. Larry
Letwat, President of the Booster Club read the mission statement of the Booster Club, which
includes supporting athletes and promote sportsmanship, making contributions for the purchase
of uniforms and equipment and funding scholarships, leadership training, senior student athlete
awards and concussion testing. They currently advertise within the athletic wing of Deerfield
High School and the revenue generated is allocated back to the student athletes for 31 different
sports. He believes the proposed digital scoreboard would enhance the spectator experience,
Board of Trustees Meeting
April 1, 2019
Page 4ofII
generate excitement, allow for instant replays, be reliable and functional for years to come and
allow students to gain experience in sports broadcasting. Mr. Letwat indicated the existing
scoreboard is old and they cannot get parts for it. He noted the proposed location is on the north
side of the field to provide improved security and site lines. It will also create balance to the
overall facility.
Trustee Shapiro asked about the Booster Club scholarships. Mr. Letwat stated they distribute
four athletic scholarships each year. Trustee Seiden questioned whether the Booster Club was
paying for the new scoreboard. Mr. Letwat noted the Booster Club would pay for the entire
scoreboard. They are in the process of getting approval from the School Board.
Chris Kim, Co-owner Digital Scoreboards, discussed the ambient light, noting some of the
general concern is about the ambient light the scoreboard would produce and whether it can be
dimmed. Mr. Kim noted that sensors will automatically brighten and dim the photocells. The
lights will be at zero at the lot line of the first house to the south. The top of the decorative truss
of the scoreboard to ground level will be 28 feet high. The height of the scoreboard is 30 feet.
Trustee Struthers noted the dimension of the billboard is 20 by 37 feet, or 750 square feet. A
standard billboard size is 14 by 48 feet, or 672 square feet. It is 10 percent larger. Trustee
Struthers thinks it is too big and too bright. Mayor Pro Tern Oppenheim questioned how this
compares with scoreboards at surrounding schools. Mr. Kim noted that some other area schools
will be installing them over the summer. The large size of the scoreboards makes them ideal for
spaces where they will be viewed from a distance. Trustee Struthers reported a few years back,
someone proposed a billboard facing the Eden's Spur. That was supposed to be a non -
illuminated billboard and not digital. Mr. Kim noted the scoreboard is not being used as a
billboard and would be turned off when there are no events. The advertising helps fund the
school as it generates revenue.
Trustee Shapiro asked to see a perspective of what the scoreboard will look like from homes to
the south. Mr. Kim noted that there will be vegetation that will screen the scoreboard from the
homes. Trustee Benton noted there will be a glow from the scoreboard lights. Mr. Kim indicated
there would be a glow until vegetation is planted. He noted that the current lights at the field are
brighter than the light from than the scoreboard. Trustee Struthers believes the scoreboard
should be visible only from the field, not the residential properties. She questioned the decision
not to place the new scoreboard in existing location, which faces away from residential
properties. Mr. Kim noted it was changed for safety and aesthetic reasons. He noted that DHS
staff will be able to see all the activity in the campus versus an obstructed view.
Trustee Benton indicated the Plan Commission report stated the scoreboard could be used for
non -sporting events such as movie nights, July 0' and other Village events. Trustee Benton is
not sure it should be used for things other than sports. He would like to see some idea that it
would be limited to athletic events. Mr. Letwat believes such events would benefit the school
and bring the community together. The Plan Commission recommended up to six non -athletic
events, such as the Lungevity run. Mayor Pro Tern Oppenheim noted the existing ordinance
would not allow the district to use the lights on the field at non -athletic events. She questioned
Board of Trustees Meeting
April 1, 2019
Page 5 of 11
the visibility if the lights were not turned on. She also asked about the impact for vehicular traffic
on Waukegan Road. Mr. Kim noted that studies on digital signage have not contributed to
increased traffic accidents. The scoreboard will be visible from Waukegan Road, but it will not
have an impact on Waukegan Road motorists. Mr. Kim noted there is no sound built into the
scoreboard. The sound would be played through the same sound system at the same volume
level as the announcer.
Trustee Shapiro indicated the scoreboard is customizable and could be built smaller, if needed.
Mr. Kim agreed. Trustee Seiden reported the Board passed an Ordinance in 2008 for billboards.
The Ordinance required billboards to be no larger than 1200 square feet and no higher than 85
feet and be set on at least 25 acres. The Ordinance stated the billboard could have no digital,
electronic or mobile moving structures. There could be no moving message or advertising.
Richard Grady, 1670 Lake Eleanor Drive, is the girls soccer coach and boys assistant soccer
coach at DHS. He noted the existing scoreboard has been there for more than 21 years. He
thinks it is a long -overdue improvement.
Sam and Ryan Brown, 404 North Central in Highwood, are both coaches at DHS. Mr. Brown is
the head boys track coach and Ms. Brown is the head coach for field hockey and track and field.
They believe the new scoreboard would help get fans and future players interested. DHS hosts
the largest meet in Lake County for track. The new scoreboard would take athletic facilities to
the next level.
Debby Brodsky, 1146 Country Lane, is in favor of the new scoreboard.
Molly Kaplan, Warrior dance team coach, believes this venue would be extremely enhanced with
the proposed digital scoreboard. The existing scoreboard is outdated.
Steve Winiecki, 240 Prairie, Libertyville, is the head football coach at DHS. He has seen all of
the recent improvements, but there has been a decrease of involvement over the years. This year,
the opening game had a carnival to generate excitement. Mr. Winiecki thinks the proposed
scoreboard will bring people to the school. DHS is a driving force in the community.
Andi Kenny, 1700 Mountain Court in North Trails, is a DHS graduate and parent. She is in
favor of the high school. As a member of the North Trails HOA board, she is concerned about
scoreboard. The digital scoreboard offers a lot, but there are concerns and issues that need to be
considered. She asked the Board to consider the size, brightness, impact, proposed uses and
location. The current proposal is greatly expanded from what came before Board in 2011. Ms.
Kenny thinks the impact may be addressed with vegetation but thought the vegetation would be
on homeowner's property, not DHS property. One concern is the sound associated with the
scoreboard. The board will have no sound, but the existing sound system will be used. They hear
the sound system in the neighborhood. Ms. Kenny did not move there to listen to advertising,
movies or other events that would bleed to the neighborhood. She is not in favor of non -athletic
events, as they are not defined and there is no indication on how that would affect the
community. She asked for limitations on the number and type of events. Ms. Kenny asked for
Board of Trustees Meeting
April 1, 2019
Page 6ofII
further clarification on the advertising and brightness. The board does not have sound, but there
is some connection between the scoreboard and the sound. Ms. Kenny noted the original
proposal stated there would be a one second view of scoreboard from Waukegan Road, but it can
be seen for 13 to 15 seconds going north at the posted speed limit. A scoreboard in the local
community is different than a billboard. She asked the Trustees to look into whether this will
cause a safety hazard on Waukegan Road and that they consider the impact on neighborhood and
roadway and impose appropriate restrictions.
Steve Isaacson, 1020 Summit Drive, backs up to DHS. The school needs a new scoreboard, but
the impact for a revenue -generating Jumbotron is objectionable. He suggested moving it to the
south end facing north. He has not seen any objective studies about safety. Mr. Isaacson noted
that DHS has proposed about adding vegetation, but his history with them shows they do not
always do what is promised.
David Mangurten, 602 Warwick Road, is a 45 year resident. Adams Field is like Wrigley Field.
It is great to play in stadium, especially under the lights. Very few will move on to play college
or professional sports. He is in favor of the scoreboard renovation and believes the new
scoreboard will make the experience better for those competing and attending.
Michael Polisky, 1780 Overland, noted the height of the sign is 20 feet plus a 4 foot banner
sitting on top of a 10 foot pedestal, which puts it 4 feet above the uprights. He questioned the
dimensions. Mr. Polisky believes the scoreboard should be smaller. The foot candles put out a
tremendous glow, even though it will be zero at the lot line, there is still an impact.
Chris Goodsnyder, 155 Exmoor Court, is a 17-year resident. He supports the digital scoreboard.
Adams Field is used for many activities including eight varsity sports. Mr. Goodsnyder believes
it will enhance the events at DHS.
Anthony Sherwood, 434 Hermitage, is a 14-year resident. There are few times where a child
will see their name in lights. That moment is often very precious. He thinks the enhancement
will recognize student athletes and band members.
David Haas, former president DHS Booster Club, noted there are currently advertising
opportunities read over the sound system at the games. They are not talking about expanding
that. He applauded the generosity of DHS Booster Club. This is an improvement that is being
donated to the community and the school at no cost to tax payers. Do not look this gift horse in
the mouth as it will provide a tremendous improvement.
Mayor Pro Tem Oppenheim noted there were several questions on the dimensions, noise,
additional advertising and location. She asked the petitioner to respond. Mr. Ruiz stated that as
an administrator and supervisor, it is important for him to be able to have a clear, unobstructed
view of the campus. There are bikers, joggers, people walking dogs, etc. Important to get a
good view of what is going on in the facility. It gives opportunities to provide assistance and
move people. Line of sight is the ability to see the big picture of what is going on.

Mr. Kim discussed the vegetation mitigation. h1 the scope of work, there are multiple locations
on both school district and homeowner property. The general height of board is 18 feet, 11
inches tall with the top truss 3 feet higher. It will be located 8 feet off the ground, which totals
less than 30 feet. Both the goal post and press box are 30 feet high. Mr. Kim noted the
scoreboard does not have speakers or subwoofers. Trustee Jester questioned whether the Booster
Club envisions a drive-in theater. Mr. Letwat stated they would be open to having a movie day
during the summer. Trustee Jester noted the scoreboard would not be as visible from a distance
during the day. He does not believe the impact of the scoreboard will be more than the lights on
the field. The sound will be the same.
Trustee Shapiro stated there is a need for a new scoreboard. The current scoreboard is in
disrepair. He is concerned about the glow and would like to see more information on the types of
vegetation and location of the plantings. Trustee Shapiro would like the non -school events to be
clearly explained, so those living close to the school are not disturbed. He suggested possibly
reducing the size in consideration of the neighbors. Mayor Pro Tern Oppenheim believes the
placement of the scoreboard is a fair distance from anything. She would be more comfortable if
the non -athletic events could be formalized.
Trustee Jester would like more information before final approval. Trustee Seiden is in favor of
the project but has reservations on traffic impact and the neighbors. The scoreboard is possibly
too large.
Trustee Jester moved to accept the report and recommendation of the Plan Commission and
direct the attorney to draft an Ordinance. Mayor Pro Tem. Oppenheim seconded the motion. The
motion did not pass by the following vote:
AYES: Benton, Jester, Oppenheim
NAYS: Seiden, Shapiro, Struthers
Trustee Seiden moved to table the discussion. Trustee Struthers seconded the motion. The
motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Benton, Oppenheim, Seiden, Shapiro, Struthers (5)

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF Director of Public Works and Engineering, Bob
STAFF RE: WOODVALE AVENUE Phillips, explained Woodvale Avenue is located in
IMPROVEMENTS the northeast quadrant of the Village. The proposed
improvement would include a portion of North
Avenue. The majority of the work would take place on Woodvale Avenue. The utilities were
investigated and appear to be in good condition. Staff suggested investigating the drainage, as it
is a known issue. The berm was not designed for engineering and was not meant to hold water.
Christopher Burke Engineering performed a 24-month drainage study and came up with six
options.
Board of Trustees Meeting
April 1, 2019
Page 8ofII
The Village held a public meeting on February 20, 2019. The Village engineer walked residents
through the options. At the end of the meeting, residents were handed comment cards. The two
feasible options included shrinking the width of the roadway and creating a ditch between the
existing road and the middle fork berm. The second option was to realign the horizontal roadway
utilizing the elevation to raise the roadway. The majority of residents were in favor of the first
option even though the drainage conditions will remain the same. Mayor Pro Tern Oppenheim
ensured the residents understood this option would give them significantly less flood protection.
Trustee Struthers questioned whether the Village is wasting money with this option. Mr. Phillips
noted the Army Corps of Engineers and others are involved in a long-term study. There may be a
large improvement several years down the road, but the road needs to be fixed. Trustee Jester
noted this solution protects against a 10-year storm.
Trustee Jester moved to accept the report and recommendation of staff. Trustee Benton
seconded the motion. The motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Benton, Jester, Oppenheim, Seiden, Shapiro, Struthers (6)
