IIn those zones, which permit construction of buildings up to property lines or within five feet (5') of property lines, leaving a very limited or no setback area, the building official may permit construction fences to be built across sidewalk area where there are sidewalks, or into the parking lane of the street where there is no sidewalk.  Where street width will permit, in the judgment of the building official, the construction fence shall also provide a temporary sidewalk area, which may be built in the parking lane of the street.  Any sidewalk built as a part of a construction site fence must be covered with a structural roof, which complies with Section 3306 of the International Building Code.  The international Nuilding Code requirements for construction of a temporary sidewalk may be reduced or waived by the Building Official whrer conditions will not permit the full four foot (4') width.  The location of  fencing within the public way and the determination of whether to require sidewalk shall be made by the Building Official, subject to review by the City Manager,  In the event that changes i parking regulations are required by the construction of such a fence, the Police Chief is authorized to post signs prohibiting or otherwise regulating parking in the area adjoining the construction site.

11- 14- 3.  CONSTRUCTION CONFINED TO APPROVED AREA.

All construction work, including the storage of construction materials, supplies, temporary offices, tools, machinery, trash containers and construction vehicles shall be confined to the approved area at all times, except as follows:

(A)  Delivery trucks may park outside the approved areas for a period not in excess of one hour for the purpose of loading or unloading materials and equipment.  On Main Street, Heber Avenue and Swede alley delivery trucks are subject to the additional requirements of Title 9, Parking Code, which regulates delivery vehicles in these locations.

(B)  Cranes, concrete pumps and similar equipment that cannot be placed within the approved area because of space or access limitations on the site, shall not block traffic lanes on the streets without first having given the Police Department twenty-four (24) hours written notice of the intent to block the street and receiving written permission to block the street from the Police Chief or his designee.  The notice of intent shall designate the duration of the blockage and its location.  The Chief of Police has the authority to make temporary changes in parking regulations to keep traffic blockage to a minimum.

11- 14- 4.  CONSTRUCTION MITIGATION PLANS.

A construction mitigation plan shall be required to be submitted and approved by the Community Development Department, for all building permits.  The Community Development Department may waive this requirement for minor remodels, additions and interior construction where the impact on adjacent property is minimal.  This plan shall be written and shall address, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Department:

(A) HOURS AND DAYS OF OPERATION. The construction mitigation plan shall specify the daily construction start and finish times.  The hours of construction activity is regulated in Section 11-14-6 for normal construction activity.  Construction activity occurring outside of the times specified in Section 11-14-6 may only be allowed by special permit issued by the Building Official or the City Engineer.

(B) PARKING.  The constructionmitigation plan shall include a parking plan.Construction vehicle parking may be restricted to one (1) side of the street at construction sites so as to not block reasonable public and safety vehicle access along streets and sidewalks.  Construction parking in paid or permit only parking areas require the Public Works Department review and approve a parking plan.  The plan shall also include anticipated temporary parking, e.g. delivery vehicles, large equipment parking.  Any street closures require an approved permit from the Building Department and the Police Department.

(C) DELIVERIES.  The construction mitigation plan shall identify proposed delivery locations and routes.  Deliveries of construction materials and supplies including concrete may be regulated as to time and routing if such deliveries will cause unreasonable noise, parking, or access issues.  In order to reduce the number of delivery trips to construction sites, the stockpiling of materials on or near the site may be required.  In the case of multiple construction sites in close proximity, a common materials storage and staging site may be required.

(D) CONSTRUCTION PHASING.  Due to the narrow streets, small lot configuration, topography, traffic circulation, weather, construction parking and material staging problems, projects in the Historic District and other areas of the City may be required to be phased if more than one project is under construction in close enough proximity to create public safety or nuisance problems.  In cases where phasing is deemed necessary by the Community Development Department, the first project to receive a building permit shall have priority, however, the Building Official shall have the authority to phase projects as necessary to assure efficient, timely and safe construction.

(E) TRASH MANAGEMENT AND RECYCLING.  Construction sites shall provide adequate storage and a program for trash removal.

(F) CONTROL OF DUST AND MUD ON STREETS.  A program for the control of dust or other airborne debris shall be required.  Provision must be made to eliminate the tracking of mud on streets and a program shall be required to remove any such mud daily.

(G) NOISE.  Construction activity shall not exceed the noise standards as specified in Section 6-3-9 of this Code.

(H) GRADING AND EXCAVATION.  Because of the truck hauling involved in grading and excavation, restrictions on trucking routes as well as the hours of operation may be necessary to mitigate the adverse impacts from such operations.Destination and total cubic yards of excavated material shall be noted.

(I) EROSION CONTROL PRACTICES.  Because of Park City's implemented Storm Management Plan, construction projects will need to identify drainage areas and planned Best Management Practices ("BMPs") to control erosion and off-site migration of soils.  Some common BMPs for controlling soil erosion include but are not limited to the following:

(1)  Installation of slit fences or straw bales within drainage channels.

(2)  Minimal soil disturbance within drainage areas.

(3)  Blown straw media within the drainage.

(4)  Detention basins.

(5)  Retention ponds.

The intent of employing Erosion Control BMPs on a construction project is to protect water quality within Park City.

(J) CONSRUCTION SIGN REQUIREMENTS.  A sign, indicating the name of the party responsible for the construction project shall be posted in a location where such sign is readable from the street or driveway to the construction site.  The sign shall not exceed twelve square feet (12 sq. ft.) in size, six feet (6') in height and shall not exceed a letter type of four inches (4").

Information on the sign shall include, at a minimum:

(1)  Name, address and phone number of contractor.

(2)  Name, address, and phone number of person responsible for the project.

(3)  Phone number of party to call in case of emergency.

No additional fee is required for this sign.

(K) LIMITS OF DISTURBANCE FINANCIAL GUARANTEE.  A financial guarantee established per policy to assure adequate vegetation and landscaping of areas within Limits of Disturbance ("LOD") shall be required prior to construction.  The financial security shall be $0.75 per square foot of the site within the LOD, excluding the permitted structure, driveways, decks, and other hard surfaced areas of the approved site plan.  The City Manager has the authority to exempt pre-existing disturbed areas per interest of the public to mitigate existing disturbance.  The LOD financial guarantee shall be reimbursed with the approval of the final landscape inspection.

(Amended by Ord. No. 02-32)

11- 14- 5. TOILET FACILITIES AND CONTAINERIZED TRASH SERVICE REQUIRED.

(A)  All construction sites, including duplexes, single family homes and remodeling projects, shall be required to obtain and maintain on the site a container of suitable size and design to hold and confine trash, scraps, and other construction related refuse created or accumulated on the site.  All such construction refuse shall be maintained in a closed container at all times, until transferred to the landfill.  Containers may be placed in setback areas, provided that the placement of the container does not obstruct the view of motorists on adjoining streets and thereby create traffic hazards.It shall be unlawful to permit accumulated debris, litter, or trash on any construction site to blow or scatter onto adjoining properties, including the public street or to accumulate on the site outside of the container, or on transit to the landfill or dump.  The owner or contractor shall service the container as frequently as needed to prevent trash from over-flowing.

(B)  All construction sites shall have permanent toilets, or an approved temporary toilet facility positioned in a location approved by the Building Department, at the rate of one toilet per fifteen on-site employees (1-15 employees = one toilet, 16-30 employees= two toilets and so on).

11- 14- 6. HOURS AND DAYS OF WORK.

(A)  Unless otherwise specified in a Conditional Use Permit or construction mitigation plan, in all zoning Districts throughout the City construction work shall be allowed between the hours 7 AM and 9 PM Monday through Saturday.  Construction shall be allowed in all zoning districts throughout the City between the hours of 9 AM and 6 PM on Sundays.  In individual Construction Mitigation Plans, the Building Official may further reduce the hours or days of work for special events or as other circumstances may reasonably warrant.  When work is prohibited, no exterior construction, excavation or delivery of supplies and concrete are allowed.Interior work, however, may be allowed Monday through Sunday, with no limitation on hours for the following types of construction:

(1)  Interior work on individual single-family home construction or addition projects not involving materials or supply delivers.

(2)  Construction of decks, patios, landscape walls less than four feet (4') in height, and fences on individual single-family lots.

(3)  Non-mechanized exterior painting on individual single-family residences.

(4)  Non-mechanized landscaping on individual single-family residences.

(5)  Survey work not involving grading or use of power equipment to cut vegetation.

(B) EXTENDED HOURS SPECIAL PERMIT.  The Building Official may authorize extended hours for construction operations or procedures which, by their nature, require continuous operation or modify or waive the hours of work on projects in generally isolated areas where the extended hours do not impact upon adjoining property occupants.  In such cases, the Building Official shall issue a special permit identifying the extended hours.  The contractor shall display the special permit on site.

(B) SPECIAL EVENT REGULATIONS.  The Building Official and/or Police Chief may, at their discretion, restrict construction activity, including governmental or special improvement agencies, in order to assure the public safety during special events within the City.  Special events shall include, but not be limited to the Art Festival, Film Festival, ski events, and holiday events.

(Amended by Ord. No. 02-32)

11- 14- 7.  RELATIONSHIP TO INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE.

This Chapter shall be construed as being supplemental to the International Building Code as adopted.  The technical requirements of the Building Code are not altered by this Chapter and to the extent there is any conflicting provision between this Chapter and the International Building Code, the more restrictive provision shall apply.  The Building Official shall have the authority to alter specific technical requirements of the International Building Code, 2000 Edition or the International Fire Code to suit unique circumstances, which might arise within Park City due to site specific conditions or narrow or steep streets.

11- 14- 8.  ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES.

This Chapter shall be primarily enforced by the Building Official, with the assistance of the Police Department.  When probable cause exists to believe a violation has been committed, the Building Official may issue a stop work order on any construction project until the violation is eliminated or the court finds that no violation exists.  Persons violating this Chapter individually or through their employees are guilty of a Class "B" misdemeanor.
