Planning panel recommends Service Club’s LED sign at Santino Park; forwards recommendation to board
Summary
The commission voted to recommend approval of a programmable LED sign for Santino Park after a presentation by Service Club representative Rich English; commissioners clarified the action is a recommendation to the village board and not final approval.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of an outdoor programmable LED sign at Santino Park after a presentation from Rich English of the Service Club.
English told the commission the sign is intended to reach park users and families attending events. He said the proposed display is about one‑third the size of the fire department sign and would be programmed for park hours; example messages would be brief event notices such as "Easter egg hunt this Saturday at noon" or "July 2 fireworks at dusk." He said the Service Club would manage postings and would not leave the sign on at night.
Commissioners asked technical and siting questions (location by the flagpole, sign facing south, whether the school or fire department signs were adequate alternatives). After discussion, a motion to approve the sign recommendation was made and seconded; a voice vote passed and commissioners confirmed the action is a recommendation to the board rather than final authorization.
Next steps: the commission will forward its recommendation to the village board for final approval and any necessary permit reviews.
