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 Highview Park development project have requested the city to extend working hours to begin work at 8 a.m. on Saturday mornings through the end of December 2023.

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.
