Attached to the e-mail MCU14/0102 PM Submission Object - Nigel Hughes Noosa Pit Stop.
Noosa Council Po Box 141 Tewantin 4565 Re proposed development Mcu 14/0102 139 Eumundi Rd Noosaville Dear sir / madam, I am writing to voice a few concerns re the development proposal at 139 Eumundi Road, some of the submitted data is not relevant and is outdated, the information for the tyre store car parking was collated in 2004 and was at Stafford on the north side of Brisbane. (Appendix a) The plan proposes 10 car parking bays for the tyre and mechanical store, we currently lock up fifteen cars every night and have 10 new appointments booked in for the following day, plus car parking for 5 staff , so currently we are using 25 parking bays. (See appendix b photgraph) Also take into consideration of delivery vehicles to just my business and a recent survey reported 15 deliveries from other local parts supply businesses. Noosa Pit Stop is well established and respected business and have 16 dependants supported through employees and our families, all of our expenditure is spent in town as we are also residents. It is my opinion there is an oversupply of tyre shops in Noosaville and we are spoilt for choices for take away food and don’t support the views of the developers plan for another place to eat, I fear for the financial viability of the business this proposal may take away from the current local retailers. I can see the sight becoming a traffic nightmare, because of the lack of for sight from this proposal. Also of concern is having a large volume of fuel being stored in close proximity to a school. Please also see the attached video which shows at the time of writing there are 49 cars here for service or repair between me and ottos muffler shop , this is the volume of cars required for any proposed tyre or mechanical shop needs to be profitable because of the huge rent required to be here. Yours sincerely . fv oo Nigel Hughes

In terms of the restaurant / café use, we have adjusted the use area to account for the kitchen and food
storage areas being excluded from this calculation (we have assumed these areas make up 25% of the total
use area), with the proposed outdoor area (ie 47m”) added. The estimated use areas have been adopted for
all other components of the development.
Table 3.1 sets out the parking standards described above and the associated number of spaces to be
provided under each.

3.3.2 Provision
It is proposed to provide a total of 59 car parking spaces and five motorcycle spaces for the development
(ie a total of 64 parking spaces). Of the total provision, 13 car parking spaces would be located adjacent to
the service station and restaurant / café component of the development, including one Person with
Disability (PWD) space. A total of 10 car parking spaces are to be provided for the vehicle repair
workshop with 36 car parking spaces (including two PWD spaces) and five motorcycle spaces proposed
for the remaining uses.
The total proposed car parking provision is midway within the range of parking spaces required under the
Noosa Plan. The Noosa Plan vehicle parking requirements is for standalone facilities and does not
account for the efficiencies gained from the consolidation of shared car parking spaces in a mixed-use
environment. Clearly there will be a number of linked trips between the various on-site uses, reducing
total parking demand.
It is also considered that the times of peak parking generation for each of the various uses will not
coincide. For example, the tyre and mechanical use is likely to generate its peak car parking demand in the

Afena'e f PEKOL : 4.2 Traffic Generation 4.2.1 Existing Uses The traffic surveys counted existing traffic movements into and out of the subject site as follows: w= weekday evening peak hour 13 arrivals 14 departures a= _— Saturday peak hour 7 arrivals 9 departures These observed traffic movements are of a similar order to the numbers expected based on published trip rates. These movements have been removed from the background traffic flows in the post-development scenarios before the predicted development traffic has been added. 4.2.2 Proposed Uses The peak hour traffic generation for the proposed uses has also been estimated based on published trip generation rates (sourced from the DTMR and the New South Wales Transport Roads and Maritime Services) and PTT survey information as follows: == —_ Service Station and Shop- 66 trips per 100m? GFA for service stations with a convenience store in urban areas, adopted from the DTMR Road Planning and Design Manual 1" Edition ws Restaurant / Cafe — 5 trips per 100m’ GFA, adopted from the DTMR Road Planning and Design Manual 1* Edition wa Tyre and Mechanical - 1.9 trips per service bay on weekday peak hours and 1.5 trips per service bay on weekend peak hours, adopted from surveys, undertaken by PTT in 2004 at a tyre service facility located at Stafford, Brisbane w= Industrial / Retail Uses - 4.2 trips per 100m? GFA on weekday peak hours and 5.6 trips per 100m? GFA on weekend peak hours, adopted from the New South Wales Transport Roads and Maritime Services Guide to Transport Generating Developments'. In terms of the industrial / retail uses, we have adopted the trip rate associated with a major hardware and building supplies store for the entire 1,663m? GFA use. This is considered to be a very conservative approach as the traffic generation associated with this use is significantly higher than rates for industrial uses.
