SUBJ: Consider Extended Work Hours or Rosemount Site Construction
File No. 88-27
I
As noted in the attached letter from Opus Corporation, designers
and builders for the Rosemount Engineering site, they are
requesting to work extended hours in order to get this project
back on schedule . Apparently the wet spring has resulted in a
three ( 3) week construction delay.
Opus is therefore requesting that the City allow them to work two
shifts with their large grading equipment commencing at 5 :00 a.m.
and continuing until 2: 00 a.m. the following morning. They pro-
pose that a limited amount of equipment will be used during the
second shift. Opus projects that they would need to work the
' second shift for the next two weeks.
I believe the request is reasonable and would be in the best
interests of the City to cooperate with the applicant in this
' regard in light of the magnitude of the project and the impor-
tance of this endeavor to the City of Chanhassen. The City may
find itself in a similar predicament with our Lake Drive/TH 101
' realignment project if weather does not cooperate. I believe the
site is buffered enough such that the nighttime lighting should
not be too obtrusive. I would anticipate that there will be some
noise impacts to the Hidden Valley, Chanhassen Hills and Lake
Susan Hills West neighborhoods; however, I do not believe this
would be intolerable for this two-week period. It is therefore
recommended that extended work hours from 5: 00 a.m. to 2 :00 a.m.
' daily (Sundays excluded) be approved as requested by Opus
Corporation for grading and underground utility work on the
Rosemount site with the understanding that the City reserves the
right to withdraw this authorization if, in the opinion of the
City, an untolerable nuisance results from these extended work
hours . Be it further conditioned that during the period of
extended work hours there will be no off-site construction traf-
fic through residential neighborhoods . Also, the affected

' RE: Rosemount, Inc. - Chanhassen, MN
Request for extended hours of operation for grading.
Dear Gary:
Per your request I 've enclosed a copy of our Bar Chart project schedule.
' Please note that all of our rough grading and underground utility work
was to be completed by May 19th. As of May 19th we have been rained out
and unable to work 8 out of 31 working days (approximately 1 out of 4
days) . Once rained on the site' s soils rapidly become sticky and
greasy, requiring approximately two days to dry out before normal
operations can be resumed. Despite working Saturdays and several
' Sundays we are still approximately three weeks behind schedule. If we
are allowed to work from 5:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. we feel we can be
back on schedule within a week to ten days.
' I trust you find the above information helpful . If you have further
questions please don't hesitate to call me at 936-4525.
' Sincerely,
OPUS CORPORATION

To: RESIDENTS OF LAKE SUSAN NEIGHBORHOOD
I
The Opus Corporation is developing a project for Rosemount, Inc.
on approximately 60 acres of land near the intersection of T.H. 101 and
T.H. 5. This facility is scheduled to be operational late in 1989. Due
to the recent rains, a considerable amount of construction time was
lost. In order to maintain the scheduled completion date, our approach ,
is to work longer hours when weather permits. - To effectively work two
shifts with our large grading equipment, it is necessary to work from
5:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. Please note that, because of the night time
hours, a limited amount of equipment will be used during the second
shift. Opus has requested permission of the City of Chanhassen '
authorities to work these hours.
These activities, during this short period of time, may cause some
inconvenience to residents near this area. Should you have any specific
concerns during the period of these activities, you may '
y y contact Ted
Jirik, an Opus representative, at 454-4444. '
