Subject:
Request for Extended Construction Hours for Lennar and Ridge Creek 1st Addition development contractors.
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve suspension of City Code Sec. 130.45, Noise Elimination and Noise Prevention, Subd. C, Hourly Restrictions on Certain Operations, 4, allowing Lennar 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 2017 subject to the conditions recommended by staff, and direct publication of notice of the suspension terms.
Recommendation:

Approve Policy/Action requested subject to the following conditions:

  1. Approval is contingent upon minimizing noise exposure adjacent to residents
  2. If the property owner complaints are received by the City, the suspension can be revoked at the discretion of the City Engineer.
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 Lennar requesting extended work hours on Saturday to start at 8 a.m. until the Ridge Creek 1st Addition 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.

 

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.
