Plan commission approves Portage High School dugout site plan after safety questions about press box
Summary
The Plan Commission approved a site plan for a new dugout at Portage High School, noting the structure was already built and commissioners flagged a missing railing on the press-box level; staff said posts are in place and no objections were recorded.
City staff presented a site plan for a new dugout at Portage High School that replaces an older structure damaged in a storm. Staff said the school submitted an updated plan in May with sufficient detail and recommended approval.
Commissioners noted the dugout had already been built and was in use. One commissioner raised a safety concern about a second-level press box that, at the time of a recent site visit, did not have a railing installed. City staff and other commissioners said the posts are up and that children should not have been on the press-box level during construction; they also noted the school had paid necessary fees and had been informed of the permitting expectations.
The plan commission moved to approve the site plan and voted unanimously. Staff indicated they would follow up to ensure required permit and safety items are addressed through the normal permit and inspection process.
