  Any	
  road	
  design	
  engineer	
  would,	
  never	
  approve	
  the	
  temporary	
  access	
  in	
  
                                             and	
  out	
  to	
  the	
  clay	
  pits	
  from	
  Lake	
  Macdonald	
  Drive.	
  	
  	
  The	
  exit	
  is	
  too	
  close	
  
                                             to	
  a	
  blind	
  hill	
  with	
  a	
  solid	
  white	
  line.	
  I	
  have	
  already	
  witnessed	
  cars	
  facing	
  
                                             an	
  exiting	
  truck	
  with	
  little	
  time	
  to	
  slow	
  down.	
  The	
  road	
  is	
  already	
  narrow	
  
                                             with	
  a	
  solid	
  white	
  line	
  and	
  impatient	
  drivers	
  cross	
  this	
  on	
  a	
  regular	
  basis.	
  	
  
                                             This	
  project	
  on	
  this	
  road	
  is	
  an	
  accident	
  waiting	
  to	
  happen.	
  	
  We	
  have	
  been	
  
                                             in	
  an	
  accident	
  on	
  our	
  road	
  last	
  year	
  due	
  to	
  impatient	
  drivers.	
  	
  
                                             There	
  is	
  a	
  considerable	
  amount	
  of	
  traffic	
  on	
  this	
  road	
  from	
  residents	
  in	
  
                                             Forrest	
  Acres,	
  school	
  buses,	
  buses	
  from	
  Retirement	
  Villages	
  and	
  an	
  
                                             increasing	
  number	
  of	
  tourists	
  and	
  elderly	
  visiting	
  the	
  Botanical	
  Gardens.	
  	
  
                                             Already	
  this	
  road	
  is	
  under	
  stress	
  with	
  constant	
  potholes.	
  	
  To	
  add	
  a	
  
                                             constant	
  stream	
  of	
  clay	
  trucks	
  for	
  two	
  years	
  needs	
  careful	
  consideration.	
  	
  	
  
                                             I	
  implore	
  council	
  to	
  re	
  consider	
  this	
  application.

Any road design engineer would, never approve the temporary access in
and out to the clay pits from Lake Macdonald Drive. The exit is too close
to a blind hill with a solid white line. I have already witnessed cars facing
an exiting truck with little time to slow down. The road is already narrow
with a solid white line and impatient drivers cross this on a regular basis.
This project on this road is an accident waiting to happen. We have been
in an accident on our road last year due to impatient drivers.

There is a considerable amount of traffic on this road from residents in
Forrest Acres, school buses, buses from Retirement Villages and an
increasing number of tourists and elderly visiting the Botanical Gardens.
Already this road is under stress with constant potholes. To adda
constant stream of clay trucks for two years needs careful consideration.
I implore council to re consider this application.

Yours faithfully,
Ann Jackson
