File No. 88-27
I
At the June 12 , 1989 City Council meeting, the Council tailed
I Opus Corporation 's request for extended work hours for the
Rosemount site. For the request to be further considered,
Council directed that the properties in close vicinity to the
construction site, in particular around Lake Susan, be notified
I of this request and given an opportunity to express their opi-
nions on this matter. As noted in the attached correspondence
from Opus Corporation, flyers were hand delivered on June 30 ,
I 1989 to the residents on West Lake Court, Lake Susan Hills Drive,
Chanhassen Hills Drive, Great Plains Boulevard and the Lutheran
Church of the Living Christ. The attachments include a detail
I list of the property addresses and also a copy of the flyer
distributed by Opus.
I maintain , as in my previous staff report (attached) , that this
I is a legitimate request which should be favorably considered by
the Council. It is impossible to tell at this point in time what
the neighborhood' s response will be to this request. Needless to
I say, opinions from all of us will be speculative in nature since
the actual impact cannot be known until the activity begins. The
fact that this request is for a limited 10-day period and the
II fact that the permission can be withdrawn at any time, leads me
to feel comfortable that Opus should be allowed to work the
extended work hours as requested.

The Opus Corporation is developing a project for Rosemount, Inc. on
' highways 101 and 5. Due to this season's frequent rains, a considerable
amount of construction time was lost. In order to meet the scheduled
ICompletion date, we will need to work longer flours, 5:00 a.m. to 2:00
a.m. , when weather permits. Because of the nighttime hours, a limited
Iamount of equipment will be used during the second shift.
Opus is requesting permission of the City of Chanhassen's City Council
Ito work from 5:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. from July 11 to July 30, 190889. The
matter will be brought before the Council the evening of July 10, 1989.
IAs always, you are welcome to attend the meeting, gather information and
share your concerns. Until that time, or at anytime during the
Iconstruction process, you may direct specific concerns to either Ted ,
Jirik or Steve Grasso, Opus representatives, at 454-4444 or d
IIrespectively. 936-4525

SUBJ: Consider Extended Work Hours or Rosemount Site Construction
File No. 88-27
As noted in the attached letter from Opus Corporation, designers
I 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
Ithree ( 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
Isecond shift for the next two weeks .
I believe the request is reasonable and would be in the best
I 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 '
I 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
I 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
I 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

effect from June 13 , 1989 through June 30 , 1989 .

RE: Rosemount, Inc. - Chanhassen, MN
Request for extended hours of operation for grading.
IDear Gary:
II 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
Idays) . 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
I 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.
III trust you find the above information helpful . If you have further
questions please don't hesitate to call me at 936-4525.

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
y 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
9 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 contact Ted
Jirik, an Opus representative, at 454-4444. '
