light source is completely shielded from the direct view of an observer
five feet above the ground at the point where the cutoff angle intersects
the ground, then the maximum permitted illumination and the maximum
permitted height of the luminaire shall be as set forth in Table 500-140C.

Ball diamonds, playing fields, golf driving ranges, tennis courts,
and similar outdoor recreational facilities have unique requirements
for nighttime visibility and generally have limited hours of operation.
These uses may be exempted from the exterior lighting standards of
this article if the applicant can satisfy the Plan Commission, upon
site plan review, that the following requirements are met:
A. Site plan. The site plan must meet all other requirements of this
article and chapter; and
B. Exterior light sources. Any exterior light sources shall not exceed
the maximum permitted post height of 50 feet; and
C. Shielded luminaires. If the luminaire is shielded in either its orientation
or by a landscaped buffer yard to prevent light and glare spillover
to adjacent residential property(ies) or residential zoning districts,
then the luminaire may exceed a total cutoff angle of 90°. The
maximum permitted illumination at the interior buffer yard line of
all required buffer yards shall not exceed two footcandles; and
D. Lighting plan required. A lighting plan meeting the requirements of §
500-141 of this article shall be submitted to the Plan Commission for review and approval.
Streetlighting shall conform to the standards set forth by the
State of Wisconsin for state trunk highways, Washington County for
county trunk highways, and the Town of Barton for Town streets and
highways.
The Zoning Administrator may permit the temporary use of a searchlight
for advertising purposes in any nonresidential zoning district, provided
that the searchlight will not be located in any public right-of-way,
will not be located closer than 10 feet to an adjacent property, and
will not cause a hazard to traffic or adjoining properties. Searchlight
permits shall not be granted for a period of more than five days in
any six-month period.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this article to the contrary,
the following provisions shall also be applicable:
A. Flickering and flashing lights. No flickering or flashing lights
shall be permitted (excluding seasonal lighting between November 1
and January 31).
B. Light sources and/or luminaires not to be located within required
buffer yards. Light sources or luminaires shall not be located within
required buffer yard areas except on pedestrian walkways.
C. Requirements of other applicable codes and ordinances to be met.
The provisions of this article are designed to supplement other applicable
ordinances and codes and not as a substitute. All outdoor electrically
powered illuminating devices shall be installed in conformance with
the provisions of this chapter, applicable building codes and ordinances,
electrical codes and ordinances, and all other codes and ordinances
as applicable and under appropriate permit and inspection.
