South and 168-180 Benton Street, concrete pours began in late August2018, therehavebeen
regular pours that have taken place from August through May of this year however contractors
have run into time delays with the weather which has set back some of the previously scheduled
pours, as a result they are asking for an extension of time in order to complete the remaining
concrete pours.It is anticipated that from May until the end of September, approximately 10
pours will occur at a frequency of one pour every 1.5 2weeks.
Polocorp Inc. is requesting the exemption as a precaution in case they are required to work later
in order to complete the job, once a concrete pour is started, they are not able to stop and must
pour, sandand finish the concrete slabs. Polocorp Inc. want to ensure that they are not in
violation of the bylaw should this happen.
