WS – Item 5 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item Date: February 5, 2018 To: City Council From: John Swenson, Public Safety Director Re: Target Remodel – City Ordinance 903.03 (4) b1 Background The Target Store located at 749 Apollo Dr. is currently remodeling the store, which has resulted in some construction activity taking place outside the hours outlined in Lino Lakes Ordinance 901.03 (4) b1. This City ordinance restricts construction activity as outlined below. No person shall engage in or permit construction activity involving the use of any kind of electric, pneumatic, diesel or gas-powered machine or other power equipment except as follows: 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday No construction activity allowed Sunday and Federal Holidays Police staff have responded to noise complaints for construction activity taking place outside the authorized times on January 16, 2018 at 2:45 AM (CN 18-011796) and January 23, 2018 at 11:53 PM (CN 18-017761). Police staff spoke with the construction staff at Target and informed them of the complaints. Construction workers altered or ended their activity once police staff spoke with them and no further complaints were received those nights. Police staff did not take any enforcement action in response to either incident. The Project Manager, Brita Ryan, for Ryan Companies has contacted our staff and informed them of construction activity they would like to place during the overnight hours on February 13, 2018 and February 14, 2018. This overnight work will remove and replace two large rooftop HVAC units. Ryan Companies current plan to complete this works is: • Remove and replace two rooftop HVAC units (4400 lbs each) with a 250’ crane. By OSHA requirements, they’ll need 33’ clearance in all directions around the crane. In order to do that, they feel it necessary to conduct this work after hours (after 10 PM).
