LATE RFI -App F - Meeting Notes 20.06.2025

4. COUNCIL ISSUE - DRIVEWAY
    • Council has concerns about the proposed sectional driveway in the road reserve and the extent of
       hardstand in the front setback. Additionally, the driveway design may pose safety risks by increasing
       potential conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles.

INFORMATION REQUIRED -
    • Additional details are required on driveway materials and surfacing.
    • An RPEQ must confirm the driveway is suitable for its intended use.
    • Reduce hardstand in the shared driveway where possible and replace with landscaping.
    • Include pedestrian-prioritised pathways to ensure safe access to the development.

MEETING NOTES + CONFIRMED DIRECTION
Meeting Note:
   - Council’s take is that they want to avoid large expenses of concrete and want to prioritize
      open natural landscape. A front landscape strip to the full front is preferred.
   - Andrew understood that we have limitations to the driveway but would like to see if it was
      possible to reduce the extent of Concrete where possible.
   - Andrew was going to send through example approved projects that demonstrated what
      Council are looking to achieve.
   - Council ideally want a clear point where visitors can know where to access the dwelling.
      Andrew was favorable to our design as a gatehouse clearly identified this. He also seemed
      favorable to not show a clear path of travel on the driveway for pedestrians (like in
      commercial developments) and as it currently sits our proposal would be ok.

Direction: Reitsma to review Driveway design and adjust where possible to reduce concrete at
curved edge and increase central landscaping component.
