In those circumstances, the 4 visitor parking spaces accepted as being available in association with the 38
units if all used for visitor accommodation are in practice available for the 14 apartments/penthouses currently
in question, that is, the 14 apartments/penthouses proposed to be used for permanent accommodation.

In such circumstances, there would actually be 0.29 visitor parking spaces per unit compared with the planning
scheme requirement of 0.25 visitor parking spaces per unit. Thatis, the rate at which visitor parking spaces are
available exceeds that required by the town plan.

Conclusion

Provided occupants of villa 3108 and penthouse 9417 are effectively restricted to use of only one car, as
outlined above, the planning scheme parking requirements applicable to permanent accommodation are
effectively complied with for all the units in question.

JHE MODIFIED DEVELOPMENT

A possible course of action in relation to villa 3108 would be to delineate a tandem resident parking space on
the driveway approach to the garage associated with that villa in order to create two tandem parking spaces for
that villa (one in the existing garage, one within the existing driveway). In addition, extra parking spaces could
be provided on the creek side of building I, in which penthouse 9417 is located.

With this arrangement, the visitor parking arrangements would be the same as outlined above.

With this modification, the planning scheme parking requirements applicable to permanent accommodation are
effectively complied with for all the units in question.

OVERALL CONCLUSION

it is concluded that the only traffic engineering consideration relevant in this matter is the adequacy of on-site
parking provisions. The planning scheme requirements for permanent accommodation of the villas and
penthouses in question, in lieu of their use for visitor accommodation, can be effectively complied with, either
by restriction of the occupants of villa 3108 and penthouse 9417 to reliance on one rather than two cars, or by
the delineation of a tandem parking space on the driveway associated with villa 3108 plus the construction of
two additional parking spaces adjacent to a building I.

Either outcome would be acceptable from a traffic viewpoint, particularly taking into account the KPMG findings
that in all probability, not more than 3 of the 40 dwellings involved would actually be used by persons residing
permanently on the site. This finding suggests that in all probability, neither of the two dwellings of particular
interest from a parking viewpoint (villa 3108 and penthouse 9417) will actually be used for permanent residence
on the site, but in effect will all be used by holidaymakers (effectively for visitor accommodation).
Mathematically, the KPMG finding suggests that the probability of any of the three units in question being used
for permanent residency is less than 1 in 4.
