Approve suspension of City Code Sec. 130.45, Noise Elimination and Noise Prevention, Subd. C.4, Hourly Restrictions on Certain Operations, allowing the Eagle Creek and Vierling Drive Roundabout Project contractor, S.M. Hentges and Sons, Inc. and their subcontractors, to perform work from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays through the end of August 2024.

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 Eagle Creek Boulevard and Vierling Drive Roundabout project have requested the city extend working hours to begin work at 7 a.m. on Saturday mornings through the end of August 2024.

 

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 would be placed in the Shakopee Valley News and on the City's website to meet the City Code requirements .

Budget Impact:
None.
