SJP Properties have withdrawn an application to be able to do construction on Saturdays.
Earlier on Wednesday, the city announced that SJP Properties will not be asking for special permission to be able to do construction on Saturdays. "The resolution requesting a construction noise waiver for SJP Properties has been pulled from tonight's agenda at the request of SJP. The resolution will NOT be heard at tonight's meeting," stated the city's Facebook page. The waiver was proposed late last month to the chagrin of local residents. Under the city's noise ordinance, construction isn't allowed on Saturdays. SJP Properties, however, has asked the city for a waiver, in order to do construction work on Saturdays at the Waterfront Corporate Center III, a new development at Second and River Streets.

The public is invited to attend the council meeting on May 15, to hear the developer's — SJP Properties — reasons for the need of a waiver. If granted, construction work would be allowed to continue on Saturdays, something that is not allowed under the city's noise ordinance.

SPJ properties — together with the city and its main tenant Pearson Publishing — will start construction of a 14-story building on the 26-acre lot right next to the W Hotel as soon this week, according to Community Development Director Brandy Forbes. The construction of the building will last about 18 months and is expected to be completed in July 2014, said Jeff Schotz, executive vice president of SJP Development. There will be four retail units on the ground floor of the building, Schotz said. While he didn’t yet disclose which retailers expressed interest, he said …

I'm happy about this (the construction is incredibly noisy and irritating to residents), but just because they removed it from the agenda doesn't mean it won't be back at a later meeting. more ›
