[RP TownTalk] [RP Town Announce] Cafritz Construction Update Notice for Weeks of June 16, 2014 and June 23, 2014

[Audrey Bragg]

Hi Jonathan and Kate, and town talkers,
I thought I recently saw, and I think, it was in the Town Crier that residents can't mow their grass and use leaf blowers before 9 a.m. because of the disturbance to the neighborhood.  Now I am reading that Construction companies have their own rules????  They don't have to follow the same rules that residents do?
Wow, that doesn't make sense to me.  Please correct me if I am wrong.  I don't live close enough to the project for me to be upset for myself, but I am concerned about the good neighbors who do live nearby.
Audrey

Hi Kate – 
 
Section 50-11.3 Loud Noise prohibits loud noise between 10PM and 7AM.  Subsection (b)(7) speaks specifically to construction activities limiting them to ‘daylight hours.’
 
I am sure the Mayor will speak to the team up there and make the request for a later start (especially on weekends) but they do appear to be within their rights to begin construction at 7am.  Please accept the town’s apologies for the impact in quality of life and hope that the end product will justify the near term impacts.

Seventy Hours Per Week.

Is there anything that can be done to keep the Cafritz workweek under more reasonable control? Or at least to have the days start later or finish earlier? I thought we had a rule (custom if not ordinance, anyway) that noisy activities like lown mowing and leaf blowing aren't to begin before 9 a.m. It seems that on weekends the courtesy could be extended ...
