The site is intended to be redeveloped within 3 years and the applicant does not intend
spending money on a more permanent road type (such as concrete), considering the site
is to be redeveloped. Although a spray seal finish requires more maintenance, it is
acknowledged the site will not be subject to large traffic numbers and/or regular large truck
manoeuvring.

4         Provide amended plans that indicate the width of car spaces 2 and 3 to be in
          accordance with user class 3 as described in AS/NZS2890.1:2004 or provide
          justification for the proposed width.

The amended plans provide for 2.6m widths for carparks 2 and 3. Carspace 4 is to be
designated as a staff carparking bay and is 2.4m wide at the end of the carparking aisle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5         Provide amended plans that indicate the necessary turning area or provide
          sufficient detail to demonstrate how the layout addresses Council’s
          concerns.

The revised plans include a turnaround bay at the rear of the site. The proposal is
formalising the existing parking situation at the rear of the site and will improve the existing
situation.

The shop is predominantly frequented by pedestrians walking to Hastings Street and the
beach. A large carpark and bus station is located directly across the road. The site is
constrained by the existing location of the building and retains the existing large gum trees
at the rear of the site.

The proposed layout provides sufficient carparking and manoeuvring for the likely number
of users and the location constraints - consistent with the Probable Solutions and Specific
Outcomes of the Driveways and Carparking Code.

6         The proposal plan shows green areas that are likely to be used for
          landscaping. However, this includes green cells for scooter parking. It is
          difficult to determine the area or extent of landscaping proposed.

The revised proposal plan provides for 10% landscaping (not including green cells for
scooter parking) within three defined areas at the front and rear of the site.
