Body
ISSUE AND BACKGROUND:
Carrol Daniel Construction is requesting an extension of normal work hours during the construction of the new classroom building and performing arts building at Campbell High School at 5265 Ward Street. Carrol Daniel Construction is requesting extended working hours from 4:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for seven concrete pours in the upcoming weeks due to the size of the pours and the time of year in which they are scheduled. The contractor is requesting seven concrete pours from February to April. These proposed pours would take place on either a Wednesday or a Saturday per the requirements of the Cobb County Board of Education.

RECOMMENDATION / REQUESTED ACTION: Carrol Daniel Construction is requesting a variance from the provisions of the Noise Ordinance for the seven concrete pours between February 2021 and April 2021 to complete the new classroom building and performing arts building at Campbell High School at 5265 Ward Street. Carrol Daniel Construction’s variance request includes the following:
