Background
Rice Lake Construction Group has requested that City Code Sec. 10.60, Noise
Elimination and Noise Prevention, Subd. 3, Hourly Restrictions on Certain
Operations, be suspended for certain work hours associate with construction of
Rahr Malting's Malthouse #6.
The above named section of the City Code restricts the hours of operation from
7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. on weekdays, and from 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. on
weekends and holidays.
Rice Lake Construction Group is requesting suspension on the hours as per the
attached letter to allow for work twenty-four hours a day beginning July 6, 2015 for
2 1/2 weeks and for.another continuous operation starting August 24th to September
5, 2015. This request is needed due to the slip forming process.
Staff would recommend that if the suspension of hours is granted, that the approval
be subject to the following conditions:
1. Approval is contingent upon minimizing noise exposure.
2. If property owner complaints are received by the City, the suspension can be
revoked at the discretion of the Public Works Director.
If Council approves the suspension, a public notice to meet the City Code
requirements and notice such as a news release would be placed in the Shakopee
Valley News.
Also, Rice Lake Construction Group is asking for a lane closure on 3rd Avenue by
the construction site in order to efficiently handle construction traffic. A traffic
control plan with appropriate signage needs to be submitted and approved by the
Public Works Director. The lane closure is expected to last for most of the project.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the requested items.
Budget Impact
There is no impact on budget.
Relationship to Vision
This supports Goal D: Maintain, improve and create strong partnerships with other
public and private sector entities.
Requested Action

RE: Rahr Malting Company MALTHOUSE 6 Noise Ordinance& Lane Closure
Dear Ms.Wilson:
On behalf of Rahr Malting Company we are submitting the following request of variance from the
current noise ordinance as specified in Shakopee City Code 10.60 Subd. 3. Hourly restrictions on Certain
Operations.
The new construction of Malt House No.6 for the Rahr Malting Company will be performed with a slip
forming process which requires continuous operation while erecting the main building structure.
The project is currently scheduled in two phases with the first slip forming phase occurring on or around
July 6th and completing in 2-1/2 weeks. During this time there would be construction operations around
the clock until the slip forming has been completed.
The second phase of the slip forming for the Kiln tower would start on August 24th and be completed by
September 5th, again construction activities occurring around the clock.
The noise levels during the extended hours of operation should be no greater than the current Rahr
Malting facility operation.
Along with the noise ordinance variance we are also requesting the following lane closure of Third Street
adjacent to the construction site parameters in order to efficiently handle construction traffic. We have
reviewed the proposed lane closure along with potential impacts to neighboring properties. I have also
met and discussed this plan with Pat Huber of the Palmer Bus Co.
The proposed lane closure is identified in attached file.
Questions in regard to this Application can be addressed to the following:
