LATE RFI Attachment 5 - Advice from Traffic and Transport Plus

18.   I consider that the parking provision provided as part of the proposed development meets the performance
      outcomes of the Noosa Plan with respect to both the car wash use and the food & drink outlet use.
      Issue 9 — obstructions to sight lines
19.   The Council RFI has identified that cars which are parked on Opal Street, in the westernmost proposed on-
      street parking space adjacent to the subject site (the western space), may have a sight line issue which would
      not allow the parked vehicles to identify cars entering Opal Street from Elm Street.
20.   Council identified that “existing services” and “existing/proposed vegetation” may “impact on available sight
      lines”. I note that the existing vegetation are trees, especially one particular tree located west of the western
      space. As a tree it’s vegetation is significantly off the ground and that it’s lower areas do not have significant
      vegetation (as seen in Figure 1, Figure 2 & Figure 3) to block sight lines at the level drivers would be observing
      other vehicles. I note that I have not been able to identify any proposed vegetation that would impact sight
      lines. Of most significance I consider to be the electrical box and the phone booth — both existing services
      proposed to be unchanged. There are also two power poles in the vicinity but these are located in a way that
      they themselves are obscured from view by the electrical box or the phone booth. The sight obstructions
      identified are shown in Figure 1.
