Title
Resolution Approving a Variance Pursuant to Chapter 9.16.070.E of the Castle Rock Municipal Code for Nighttime Construction Activities Related to the Tank 18 Blue Zone Main Project [Located at the intersection of Castle Oaks Drive and Pleasant View Drive]
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
CR Water staff requests Town Council approval of a variance to allow construction work to be performed between 7:00 pm and 7:00 am in late March/early April for one night. 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). A variance can be granted under 9.16.070 if no reasonable alternative is available. Reynolds Construction is under contract for the Tank 18 Blue Zone Main Project. The new main will be connected to the existing water main located in Castle Oaks Drive. The contractor is working on determining the exact location of the existing main within Castle Oaks, but the concern is that due to its potential location a single lane may not be safely maintained during the construction activities. The night work will allow the contractor to install the connection with minimal impact on traffic in Castle Oaks. Given the short duration of the planned night work (no more than one night), and the limited affected area (the intersection of Pleasant View and Castle Oaks), staff requests Town Council approval for night work on one evening between late March and early April. A time range for authorization is requested to accommodate any potential weather delays and approval of the road closure.
Staff Recommendation
Staff requests Town Council approval of a resolution permitting relief from the Town Noise ordinance, allowing work overnight for the water main tie-in at Castle Oaks Drive and Pleasant View Drive as part of the Tank 18 Blue Zone Transmission Project for one night in late March or early April.
