In addition, the following points are noted:

w= _ there is a large amount of on-street car parking on Garnet Street, which would be available for
customers of the retail store

m= _ the site is located in very close proximity to the Cooroy town centre and is therefore likely to
experience higher levels of pedestrian movements than a standalone retail facility in a more

suburban area

On this basis, the proposed provision is considered sufficient to accommodate the anticipated peak

parking demand.

3.3.3 Design

The layout and provision of on-site car parking is generally consistent with the requirements of
Australian Standard AS2890.1:2004 Parking Facilities Part 1: ‘Off-Street Car Parking’ in terms of bay

dimensions, aisle widths, vehicle circulation and manoeuvring. This is typified by:

2.7m x 5.4m vehicle parking spaces

1.35m x 2.5m motorcycle parking spaces

appropriately dimensioned PWD spaces with adjacent shared space
parking aisles of 6.2m wide or greater

aramp width of 6.1m (5.5m plus 0.3m clearance on both sides)

a maximum ramp gradient of lin 5 with 2m transitions at the top and bottom

3.3.4 Impact on On-Street Parking

The proposed access driveway on Garnet Street would generally be at the same location as the existing
eastern driveway. The widening of this driveway out to 9m at the property boundary may result in the loss
of one on-street car parking space. However, this would be more than offset by the provision of additional
on-street car parking in conjunction with the removal of the existing western driveway crossover on

Garnet Street.

Queuing

It is estimated that there is adequate provision to accommodate two - three queuing vehicles (ie 15m)
between the property boundary and the first internal conflict point associated with the car parking area.
This queuing provision is consistent with the minimum requirements of AS2890.1, based on the number

of on-site parking spaces (ie 76 spaces).

Servicing

An on-site loading / refuse collection area is proposed at the rear of the supermarket, which would be
accessed from Wimmers Lane. The width of Wimmers Lane and constrained intersection arrangements at

the western end (ie with Maple Street) limit the type of vehicles that can access the loading area.
