Background Minger Construction, Inc., 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. 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. Minger Construction, Inc. is requesting a suspension on the hours to allow for work 24 hours a day for potentially three consecutive days in September. The City recently awarded a contract to Minger Construction, Inc. to jack a 42-inch concrete pipe under CSAH 83. Once the Jacking operation begins, it may need to continue nonstop until the Jacking is complete. This will depend on soil conditions encountered. Minger Construction estimates it should take 60 to 72 hours to complete the Jacking. Staff would recommend that if the suspension of hours is granted, that the approval is subject to the following conditions: 1. Approval is contingent upon minimizing noise exposure near residents. 2. If the property owner complaints are received by the City, the suspension can be revoked at the discretion of the City Engineer. If Council approves the suspension, a public notice to meet the City Code requirements and notice as a news release would be placed in the Shakopee Valley News. Recommendation Approve the suspension of City Code Sec. 10.60, Noise Elimination and Noise Prevention, Subd. 3, Hourly Restrictions on Certain Operations, D, allowing work 24 hours a day as necessary to complete the Jacking under CSAH 83, and directing staff to publish notice of the suspension terms with the conditions as recommended by staff Budget Impact None.
