2.1.3            Existing Easements
                 There are two existing drainage easements on the site. One runs along the northern section of
                 Lot 31SP170751 and another in the south – western corner of the same lot. In the developed
                 state, these easements will be dissolved.


2.2              Existing Site Condition and Land Use
2.2.1            Built Form Elements
                 Currently, the site is used for a multitude of purposes. Lot 4SP159610 is currently occupied by
                 variety of automotive and hardware businesses. Lot 31SP170751 is currently vacant land.

2.2.2            Existing Topography and Soils
                 Skyline Surveyor’s survey indicates that the site has a moderate grade (approximately 3%),
                 ranging from approximately RL10.57 in the site’s southwest corner to RL7.54 in the site’s north-
                 east corner. The site generally grades in a north eastern direction.
                 There is a ridgeline located along the boundary of the two lots proposed for development. This
                 has occurred because the site on Lot 4SP159610 has been excavated below natural surface in
                 the southern area of the site, and as a result there are extensive retaining walls around
                 southern boundary. The construction of Walter Hay Drive on the site’s northern boundary has
                 caused a trapped sag to occur which has led to the installation of piped drainage discharge to
                 the site’s east.
                 As the site is above RL5.0m AHD it is not anticipated that acid sulphate soils will be
                 encountered.
