MEMORANDUM
TO:
Todd Gerhardt, City Manger
Bob Generous, Senior Planner O~ .
I(~
FROM:
DATE:
December 12, 2005
SUBJ:
Adoption of Ordinance, Chapter 13, Chanhassen City Code,
Section 13-52 Hourly Restriction on Certain Operations
ACTION REQUIRED
A simple majority vote of City Council members present is required to adopt the
amendment.
BACKGROUND
In April 2004, the City amended Chapter 13, Nuisances, including section 13-52
of the ordinance. As part of the amendment, part of the section was incorrectly
deleted. Additionally, a portion had a typographic error changing 9:00 p.m. to
6:00 p.m.
SUMMARY
Construction hours are overly restrictive and significantly different from previous
code. Heavy construction operations are limited through the development
contract and site plan agreements to 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. However, building
construction activity is not as noisy or invasive.
Staff is proposing that the nuisance ordinance (Chapter 13) be revised for the
hours of permitted construction, maintenance and repair activities from 7:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Saturday,
with limitations for Sundays and holidays, which is consistent with the previous
ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council adopt the attached ordinance for Chapter 13
of the Chanhassen City Code, Section 13-52 (c), Hourly restriction on certain
operations.
