ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – FEBRUARY 16, 2016 8 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked why the new scoreboard would be two feet higher. <br /> <br />Mr. Madison discussed how the new scoreboard would be installed and aligned within the <br />stadium. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wicklund inquired if the City had any decibel level ordinances in place. <br /> <br />City Planner Streff explained Arden Hills did not have anything within its City Code, but rather <br />deferred to EPA requirements. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wicklund questioned if the school district was in contact with the neighbors <br />regarding the proposed changes at the stadium. He suggested the school district hold an informal <br />meeting with the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Mr. Madison indicated he had been in contact with the neighbors when the baseball stadium was <br />constructed. He anticipated many of the neighbors would be attending the Planning Commission <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden inquired why the size of the scoreboard had to change. <br /> <br />Mr. Madison stated after reviewing the size of the stadium, Daktronics made a recommendation <br />to the school district regarding the scoreboards size and sound system. He reported the scoreboard <br />would be on the small side based on Daktronics recommendation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden requested further information on the sound system. <br /> <br />Mr. Madison reviewed a diagram and pamphlet regarding the sound system with the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung encouraged Mr. Madison to have additional information available <br />regarding the sound system for the Planning Commission meeting. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding noise and light pollution. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant recommended a dimmer be mandatory on the LED scoreboard. He understood the <br />new scoreboard had directional sound technology. He looked forward to seeing additional <br />information regarding how this would work in the stadium. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned when the most recent storage shed was built. <br /> <br />Mr. Madison indicated the storage shed was built three years ago at the north end of the stadium. <br />He commented the 20’ x 20’ storage shed would assist the school district in keeping all of its <br />equipment indoors. He reviewed the building materials that were selected for this shed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wicklund recommended the building materials for the sheds match. <br />
