Section 630 currently prohibits construction activity except <br />bet�veen the hours of 7:00 am and 9:00 pm. The regulations do not provide for a process <br />for the City to review and approve exceptions to this requirement, nor are there <br />exceptions provided for emergency construction activity that may be required to protect <br />public safety, such as water main breaks or power outages. While variances may be <br />reviewed and approved for regulations within the Zoning Code, the City does not have a <br />mechanism to grant variances to regulations within the City Code. <br />Staff is proposing to add language to Section 630 that would allow for emergency <br />construction activity to occur outside of the permitted hours for the purpose of public <br />City ofArden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for March 29, 2010 <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />IlMetro-inetlardenhillslAdminl CouncillAgendas c�c Packet Information1201013-29-10 RegularlPacket Information103-29-10 - Regular <br />Meeting - Construction Activity - Memo.doc <br />
