Town Planning Department’s Reports 4/6/1999 - Ordinary Meeting 17/6/1999 79

The garage floors are lower than the kerb top at the driveway, and surrounding surface levels.
This creates potential drainage problems and the use of a pump to remove stormwater and
wash down water is not without risk. There are four drainage sumps indicated on the
submitted plans for the underground car park, and these will need to be connected to a
pumpwell via a grease and oil trap to remove any likely pollution. Any stormwater entering
this area will be windblown, and only of small volume. A high level alarm warning should be
provided for the well, and a condition requiring this is included. The pump should discharge
to a kerb outlet in Mitti Street.

As this area is fundamentally on a sand hill, an alternative carpark drainage solution is to
provide an on site storage tank and gravitate to an infiltration pit on site. The volume of
storage required and the size of outlet, would need to be designed having regard to likely
inflows and absorption capacity of any infiltration pit.

The driveway itself rises slightly from the street before falling to the garages. There is a grated
drain which will provide some protection to the garages from rainwater runoff and this drain
can discharge back to the street. There are no problems with the geometry of the driveway.

Roof and driveway runoff can discharge to the street then to an existing catchpit some 39
metres away.

The site is only accessible via Park Road which is subject to a 9 tonne load limit. A condition
relating to this is included.

Contributions for Water and Sewerage Headworks, and Beach Access are required.
