TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Extended Construction Hours for the CSAH 83 Improvements Project
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve suspension of City Code Sec. 130.45, Noise Elimination and Noise Prevention, Subd. C.4, Hourly Restrictions on Certain Operations, allowing the contractor for the CSAH 83 Improvements Project to perform work from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays starting on June 25, 2022 and ending on November 26, 2022.
Recommendation:
Approve the requested action.
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.

 

Contractors working on the CSAH 83 Improvements Project have requested the city to extend working hours to begin work at 7 a.m. on Saturday mornings through November 26, 2022.

 

This extension will help meet the project deadlines. 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.

 

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.
