Re: West Sandy Lake Road Construction
Mr. Clark
The contractor usually determines how he will approach the project and the direction of work. We typically will
provide some parameters if it will expedite the work. On this project, we know that the contractor will have to
close off Coppell Road north to construct the intersection. Therefore, we instructed the contractor that the only
time the intersection could be closed was when school was out. Because of that, the contractor will construct
some of the drainage in that intersection during spring break and complete the intersection this summer. As for
as the rest of the project, the contractor has indicated that he will likely start with some of the drainage work
near Royal and proceed west. As for as actual street construction, the contractor has indicated that he would
probably start on the south side paving near S. H. 121 and work his way east toward Coppell Road. Once the
south lanes are paved, traffic will be switched to them and then the existing asphalt will be removed and the
north side la nes constructed.
On your other issue, the City does have a noise control ordinance, but it does not provide times. It is open
ended in that a person could call the Police at any time of the day if they thought the noise was excessive. I
would suggest that you contact the Police Department the next time the construction continues into the night or
begins in the wee hours of the morning. One thing that typically happens on large projects is that when the
concrete is poured it has to be floated and leveled within a certain time frame. Also, the concrete has to be saw
cut to control cracking within a certain time frame. When this happens, the workers have to work to complete
the concrete, even if it is late.
I will speak to my construction inspector so he can discuss appropriate construction working hours with the
contractor. But, again, if the noise is late or early morning, please feel free to contact the Police.

Ken,
I have two quick questions;
Can you let me know what end of Sandy Lake will they start on? East or West? and what direction they will be
working in. I'm working on the HOA news letter and want to put a construction update in it.
My second questions is around the Amber Point development. Can you confirm if there is a early start time for
construction workers? I thought the city had passed a ordnance that said construction workers can't start
before a certain hour in the morning like 6 or 7 am. My issue here is they worked on the site all night with
heavy equipment.
Thanks,
Jack Clark
