Contractor asks Brookline to allow early-morning arrival for oversized school equipment; hearing continued
Summary
A contractor requested a noise-bylaw waiver to allow an oversized load and equipment assembly for a school project to arrive between 4 and 6 a.m. and conduct noisy assembly after 7 a.m.; the Select Board treated the item as a public hearing and continued it to the next meeting.
A contractor representing a school construction project described plans to deliver and assemble oversized equipment that will require an early-morning arrival on site and asked the Select Board for a noise-bylaw waiver.
Contractor Andy Ban said the oversized transport would need to arrive between about 4 and 6 a.m. and that most noisy assembly would occur after 7 a.m. He described logistics for on-site parking and said the delivery is an oversized/permanent transport requiring special routing. Board members and staff clarified that the louder assembly would begin after 7 a.m. and asked questions about routing and impacts to trees and neighborhood streets.
Because the agenda notice did not include a properly dated hearing notice, staff and the board treated the item as a public hearing but continued the matter to the next meeting for formal action; staff said they would notify online participants and post the hearing continuation details.
Next steps: hearing continued to the next Select Board meeting; staff to post the corrected notice and related materials.
