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 County 83 and 4th Avenue reconstruction project have requested the city to extend working hours to begin work at 6 a.m. in the mornings, Monday through Saturday. This extension will help meet the project deadlines including minimizing the length of the closure of County Road 83. The project area is in a commercial/industrial area and the impacts from the earlier generated noise is not anticipated to be a substantial nuisance in this area of the city. If property owner complaints are received by the City, the suspension can be revoked at the discretion of the City Engineer. The project is scheduled to be completed by October 2018.
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.
