There is a lot of unprotected real estate on the site; a massive amount of combustible materials being assembled into buildings. Until the buildings are nearly complete, there will not be an automatic sprinkler system or fire alarm system in place. Considering the amount of potential and risk, we strongly support working with the owners and contractors in adjusting the work schedule in order to keep up with preset timeframes and even expedite the project's completion. The sooner we can get the buildings enclosed and protected, the sooner our level of potential and risk will decline, as well as our anxiety levels.

With the snow crisis that we find ourselves in, I appreciate that their work is behind. While I anticipate working with Golden Goose to determine timelines that would not have construction interfere with religious services in adjacent properties, I view this as a common courtesy and not a particular challenge. I cannot emphasis enough that from the police perspective, there are host of positive aspects to having their work completed on time and with that goal in mind, DPD has been working closely with the ProCon management team. I understand that the restriction for them not working on Sunday is Planning Board related as there is no prohibition regarding the noise ordinance. Had I the authority, it would my desire to provide them the mechanism to work on Sundays, with the caveat not during church services. If you have any questions or there is a desire for me to expand upon my encouragement, please feel free to contact me! Dave Kurz Chief of Police 603-868-2324
