Dear sir or Madam
I would like to take up your invitation for comments on the proposed
developments at the above site.
Irrespective of wether said development goes ahead or not there are
a number of issues about the immediate area which may be compounded
if it goes ahead.
My house at 8 Val crescent has an easement for storm water for the whole
of Val crescent and the southern run off from Goodchap st running into
lake Doonella at the back of my house.
The build up of silt and leaves has been a problem, careful excavation
needs to take place as there is a pool of stagnant water trapped there
a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
There is a large tree located on the corner opposite which seems 2 cause
much of the leaf litter, also entangled in its roots is a water main and fire
hydrant which have ruptured on several occasions causing water outages
to our street.
The road sweeper comes very infrequently but is rendered ineffective
because of the overflow parking from the hospital particularly in front
the road drains.
Although there are different issues (drainage) (tree litter) (fire hydrant)
(water main) (road sweeping) (power lines) (poor maintenance on drain
outlet) (overflow parking from hospital) they are all linked and further
development may well make things worse.
l think it is worth mentioning we will lose some valued neighbours if things
go ahead.
l trust you will give this due consideration and l look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely
JOHN EVANS.
