Ben,
Hope your day is going well. Just a few comments on the proposed change or new Ordinance 2139
1. I would advocate for a 6 am – 8 pm, in lieu of 7 am. I do think it is plenty reasonable to stop
work at 8 PM.
2. I am really hoping we can come to an understanding on a reasonable and relatively speed
process for permitting ‘special’ activity that the construction team can request of the city and
residence to work outside of the designated hours. This big one, is concrete pours. We have
to start these earlier to get done by 8 anyways. This is especially important in the winter when
the concrete does not setup as fast. Plus, the concrete supplier do not provide these larger
pours later in the morning. This is when they are taking care of their normal clients.
3. Ill just state the obvious as well, the less we are allowed to work the longer the construction
project take.
Thanks!
