Council approves JPI Construction noise exception with written limits near apartments
Summary
After concerns about 3 a.m. concrete pours, council approved a noise-exception ordinance for JPI Construction for work at Hudsonwood Road with a condition that pours nearest multifamily properties occur during normal working hours and a written commitment from the applicant.
The Denton City Council voted to adopt an ordinance granting JPI Construction LLC a noise exception related to concrete pours at a multifamily development on Hudsonwood Road, with additional conditions tied to protecting nearby apartment residents.
Representative from District 2 questioned the need for 3 a.m. work, saying, "3AM is really early," and said the council should avoid scheduling noisy pours during cooler months. City staff and the contractor explained the project will use phased pours and that initial work would start on the far side of the property, "where it's approximately 700 yards from any tenant or unit or residence," and that the first pours should be completed within a 48-hour window.
Representative from District 6 moved approval on the condition the contractor provide a written agreement to perform pours closest to the multifamily properties during standard working hours; Representative from District 4 seconded the motion. The motion carried (recorded in the transcript as "Passes 61").
Next steps: staff said the written commitment will be collected and become part of the permit record; the ordinance cites the city code provision under which the exception is granted.
