Schoenzeit commented he would not want to say they can do it in 95 truckloads and then have it doubled. Schoenzeit stated it is unfortunate the developer is asking for so many but that the higher number helps set the expectations out there so everyone is aware of the number. Lemke asked if any time restrictions should be placed on the trucks. Thiesse asked if the grading will take place at a singular time. Fretham indicated they have found poor soils on the site and the soils are not supportive of a foundation without either soil corrections or pilings. Fretham stated it is potentially feasible to correct the soils but that there likely will be the need to draw the water table down while the correction takes place. Fretham indicated he is not sure if they will be able to get those permits and that the numbers assume they will be doing soil correction. Paul stated a comment was made at the City Council meeting about potentially limiting truck traffic times. Paul indicated the bus picks up at 6:50 in the morning and drops off 3:20 in the afternoon. Paul noted there are no sidewalks on Ivy Place and that the children walk down the street to get to their homes. Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 8:21 p.m. Landgraver asked what the existing constraints are on construction times. Barnhart indicated City Code includes hour restrictions for truck traffic, and if the Planning Commission feels it appropriate, restrictions can be placed on the hours. Curtis stated house construction is allowed from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the week and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the weekends and holidays. Olson noted the Planning Commission can require a later starting time. Thiesse asked whether the applicant would be okay with trucking activity between 7:30 to 3:00 p.m. Fretham asked whether it would be satisfactory if they just take a break for an hour between 3:00 and 4:00.
