It鈥檚 not the most pleasant sound to wake up to鈥攃onstruction noise.

Coun. Rick Webber wants staff to look into whether the city might change the times construction is allowed.

鈥淚 wondered if it鈥檚 a good time to look at any easement to the residents of any kind without having any detrimental effect on the construction industry,鈥 Webber added.

Council received an email from a resident complaining about the times construction is allowed.

Webber checked with his colleagues about their thoughts on the issue.

鈥淭hey said we鈥檝e looked at it before but it wouldn鈥檛 hurt to look again. We鈥檙e doing so much infill construction right now in 麻豆精选 and much of it is happening right next to existing homes.鈥

According to the City of 麻豆精选 website construction is permitted between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., 7 days a week

Webber plans to bring a motion forward at council鈥檚 next regular meeting to have staff to investigate the possibility of adjusting construction times.

鈥淐ould there be different hours of construction for properties that are immediately next to homes compared to properties that aren鈥檛? I鈥檓 just putting that out there.鈥
