FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Request of Northwest Asphalt, Inc. for Extending Work Hours
on C.R. 101 Project
DATE: April 19, 2011
INTRODUCTION:
Northwest Asphalt, Inc., the contractor for the C.R. 101 Reconstruction Project, 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.
BACKGROUND:
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.
Northwest Asphalt, Inc. is requesting a suspension on the hours to allow for work on
Saturdays, from 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., for the project duration in 2011.
This request is being made to help expedite the work and meet the schedule for the C.R.
101 Project. Previously, Council indicated a willingness to grant extended working hours
on this project to reduce the impact to businesses and residents.
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.
2. If 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 such as a news release would be placed in the Shakopee Valley News.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the suspension of City Code Sec. 10.60, Noise Elimination and Noise
Prevention, Subd. 3, Hourly Restrictions on Certain Operations, per this memo, and
direct staff to publish notice of the suspension terms with the conditions as
recommended by staff.
2. Approve the suspension of City Code Sec. 10.60, Noise Elimination and Noise
Prevention, Subd. 3, Hourly Restrictions on Certain Operations, for some other period
of time as determined appropriate by the City Council, and direct staff to publish
notice of the suspension terms.
3. Do not approve the suspension of City Code Sec. 10.60, Noise Elimination and Noise
Prevention, Subd. 3, Hourly Restrictions on Certain Operations, D.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Offer a motion approving a suspension of City Code Sec. 10.60, Noise Elimination and
Noise Prevention, Subd. 3, Hourly Restrictions on Certain Operations, D, per this memo,
and direct staff to publish notice of the suspension terms with the conditions as
recommended by staff.
