Discussion:
City Code Section 130.45 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.
The contractor working on the Stagecoach Road Roundabout and Southwest Logistics Center construction projects has requested the city to extend working hours to begin work at 7 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday mornings through the end of November 2021.
These extensions will help meet the project deadlines including minimizing the length of the traffic impact. The impacts from the earlier generated noise is not anticipated to be a substantial nuisance in this area of the city for the prescribed times. If property owner complaints are received by the City, the ordinance suspension can be revoked at the discretion of the City Engineer. The Stagecoach Road Roundabout construction project is scheduled to be completed by November 2021.
With Council's approval, a public news release and notice to meet the City Code requirements would be placed in the Shakopee Valley News and on the City's website.
