Discussion:
Various departments received complaints about early morning heavy truck traffic and construction for this project and the contractor was notified they were in violation of City Ordinances.
This site is located adjacent to residential neighborhoods and extended early morning work hours or evenings would impact the quality of life of these residents.
Staff believes that this Ordinance needs to be revised to allow early morning hour or evening construction only under extraordinary circumstances like emergencies or if a development is located away from residential neighborhoods. Staff also believes that residents in those areas should be notified that the city is considering extended construction hours. A revised Ordinance will be brought back to Council for consideration.
