Monday through Friday, seven o'clock (7:00) A.M. to seven o'clock (7:00) P.M. on Saturdays and nine o'clock (9:00) A.M. to five o'clock (5.-00) P.M. on Sundays.

Based on the fact that this project is located in primarily an industrial area and to accommodate the timely completion of the TH 52/117 1h Street Interchange project, Staff recommends that Council approve this request with the condition that City approval may be revoked at any time if complaints are received by the City. RECOMMENDED ACTION: MOTION TO APPROVE REQUEST BY HOFFMAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR EXEMPTION FROM CITY CODE 9 -7, CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS AND EXCESSIVE NOISE WITH THE CONDITION THAT CITY APPROVAL MAY BE REVOKED AT THE DISCRETION OF CITY STAFF AT ANY TIME UPON RECEIPT OF COMPLAINTS OF EXCESSIVE NOISE. COUNCIL ACTION: HOFFMAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY 123 CTH A BLACK RIVER FALLS, WI. 54615 PHONE (715) 284 -2512 FAX (715) 284 -9698 June 23, 2003 City of Rosemount RE: TH 52 Construction Project Dear City of Rosemount, Construction of the new interchange at TH 52 and 117 Street has begun. Many of you have most likely sat in the traffic delays due to lane closures at this intersection. The project allows the contractor to close one lane in each direction from 9 am until 3 pm Monday through Friday. Unfortunately the amount of traffic is more than one lane can handle and backups of 1 -3 miles happen each day, especially on Fridays. In attempt to do this work with fewer traffic delays and with intensions of completing this work quicker and more productively Hoffman Construction is considering doing a portion the median work during the hours of 6 pm to 6 am. At this time our schedule for this work would be sometime in late July or early August and will require 3 to 4 weeks to complete, dependent on weather and subcontractor performance. It was brought to our attention that the City of Rosemount has restrictions on noise levels from 7 pm to 7 am. Hoffman Construction is asking for a variance of these restrictions so that the impact of this construction to the local businesses and commuters is reduced to a reasonable level. This work area is in the more industrial section of the community and we don't feel that any residences should be affected by our operations. Thank you for your consideration of this matter and if I can answer questions or if you have any comments please call me at 715- 797 -4047. Sincer Ron Overhen Project Manager- Hoffman Construction Co.
