Restriction on Construction Noise - West University Neighbors requested restric- tion on construction to the hours of 7:00 a,m. to 7:00 p.m. The code now per- mits construction between the hours of 7:(JO a.m. and 10:00 p.m., with special permi t provisions for emergency si tuations. Copies of report from public works department were distributed to Council with agenda stating objections to further restriction - do-it-yourself builders ofttm work at odd hours, construction on some projects would be hampered, adverse effect on housing costs, enforcement action after normal work hours would be required. Councilwauan Beal felt the 7:00 a.m./7:00 p.m. restriction was reasonable. She didn't see any problems with "do-it-yourselfers" because their work was usually parried on inside buildings. Her main objection was to heavy construc- tion equipment operated at late night hours. .. ., .~ Councilman Murray noted the special permi t provisions of the code and wondered if the gr~ting of such a permit .would take into consideration the accompanying vehicle traffic to and from a construction site.
