Title
Resolution Approving a Variance Pursuant to Chapter 9.16.070.E of the Castle Rock Municipal Code for Night Time Water System Maintenance Work Related to the Crowfoot Valley Road Widening Project [Crowfoot Valley Drive from Diamond Ridge Parkway entrance to the Knobcone Drive entrance area]
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
CRW staff requests Town Council approval of a variance to allow water system maintenance work to be performed between 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Staff requests approval for night work for one or two evenings between October 8th and October 29th. This work will be scheduled but may be delayed due to weather and construction related issues.
The Town’s municipal code for noise control prohibits construction noise between the hours of 7:00 pm and 7:00 am on weeknights and between 6:00 pm and 8:00 am on weekends (Chapter 9.16.030). CRW staff will be performing a test waterline shutdown on a transmission waterline, including inspecting, operating, and maintaining the existing water system assets located within the roadway. This shutdown is in coordination with the Crowfoot Valley Road widening project, and the work is necessary to perform the future waterline work required for the project. The night work will allow CRW staff to perform this shutdown while minimizing the impact on traffic in Crowfoot and the adjacent neighborhood entrances. Given the short duration of the planned night work, and the limited affected area (generally Crowfoot Valley Road from Diamond Ridge Parkway entrance to the Knobcone Drive entrance area).
Budget Impact
There is no additional impact on the project cost for this work.
Staff Recommendation
Staff requests Town Council approval of a resolution permitting relief from the Town Noise ordinance, allowing work overnight for the CRW transmission line test shutdown.
