Approval of extended work hours for Benning Construction to complete slab on grade concrete pour for Belmont Physician's Center - Land Lot 490 -1.901 Acres - 1060 Windy Hill Road - Benning Construction on behalf of Halpern Enterprises
Body
ISSUE: Benning Construction (the General Contractor at Belmont) is requesting an extension of normal work hours for the slab on grade concrete pour of the Belmont Physician's Center. Benning Construction is requesting an extension of normal work hours from 3 a.m. to 8 p.m for March 8, 2017 to March 14, 2017. The contractor expects to complete the work in one day on March 9, 2017 but requests additional days only for the sake of inclement weather that may cause the pour to be rescheduled to another day. Normal construction work hours are limited to 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.
BACKGROUND: None.
RECOMMENDATION/REQUESTED ACTION: Benning Construction is requesting a variance from the provisions of the Noise Ordinance to complete the slab on grade concerete pour for Belmont Physician's Center. Benning Construction's variance request includes the following:
1. Extension of work hours from 3 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., on one day between March 8, 2017 to March 14, 2017, for the purpose of slab on grade concrete pour of Belmont Physician's Center.
2. All concrete pouring on-site shall be coordinated with the Department of Community Development. Benning Construction shall comply with any implementation measures or requirements imposed by the Community Development Department to mitigate the effect of extended work hours on traffic patterns and on the surrounding residential property owners.
3. Extension of work hours will expire once concrete pour is complete and no other construction activities will be allowed during the work hour extension period.
Community Development is supportive of the request for extended work hours. These extensions will allow the building to be completed on schedule. Community Development recommends approval of the extended work hours.
