Summary
The Health & Safety Committee voted July 13 to keep City Code 435-9 unchanged after a resident complaint about early-morning construction at The Bluffs. The committee discussed possible changes (including a 9:00 p.m. end time suggested by the chair) but decided not to amend the ordinance based on limited complaints.
The Prescott Health & Safety Committee on July 13 reviewed City Code 435-9 following a resident complaint that heavy equipment at The Bluffs began operating before 7:00 a.m., earlier than the permitted start time. City Administrator Matt Wolf told the committee that staff contacted the contractor and the development team and that the resident also requested changing the permitted construction end time from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Committee Chair Dar Hintz said the city should consider limiting construction hours on holidays and weekends and suggested a 9:00 p.m. end time. Committee Member Bailey Ruona cautioned against broad restrictions, noting the short Wisconsin summer construction season and that indoor work might reasonably continue later. Committee Member Maureen Otwell said she would prefer to wait for additional complaints before changing the ordinance. The committee voted to keep City Code 435-9 as written. Motion passed unanimously by a voice vote, 3-to-0.
