|
| | | | | | | | | FROM: | Ryan Halverson, Assistant City Engineer | | TO: | Mayor and Council Members |
| | | |
| | | | | | | | Subject:
Request for Extended Construction Hours for D.R. Horton and Windermere development contractors. | | |
| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:
Offer a motion approving a suspension of City Code Sec. 130.45, Noise Elimination and Noise Prevention, Subd. C, Hourly Restrictions on Certain Operations, 4, allowing D.R. Horton and their contractors to perform work from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays through the end of October or earlier if worked is completed and directing staff to publish notice of the suspension terms with conditions as recommended by staff. | | |
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
Staff would recommend that if the suspension of hours is granted, that the approval is subject to the following conditions:
- Approval is contingent upon minimizing noise exposure adjacent to residents
- If the property owner complaints are received by the City, the suspension can be revoked at the discretion of the City Engineer
If Council approves the suspension, a public notice to meet the City Code requirements and notice such as a news release would be placed in the Shakopee Valley News. | | |
| | | | | | | | Discussion:
The above named section of the City Code restricts the hours of construction operation from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends and holidays.
Attached is a letter from D.R. Horton requesting extended work hours on Saturday to start at 8 a.m. until the Windermere project is completed by the end of the construction season.
This request is being made to help expedite the work and meet the schedule for this project to be completed prior to the end of the construction season. | | |
