MCU14/0087 Notice of Submission - Samantha Smith

The location of the trailer and the length of boards being removed will also create serious
safety concerns regarding the existing access to the Hire Car business that operates and any
new customers travelling onto the site through the existing heavily congested and conflicted
access point. Boards and customers will be required to stand into the driveway for the site
potentially   forcing pedestrians onto the road way as vehicles are blocked from entering the
site, in turn creating a serious safety concern where in the past 12 months one serious
accident involving a car and pedestrians oc~urred.

One plan labelled Sheet 1 of 3 has the proposed trailer located on the boundary with no front
setback, another plan sows a 2m setback. Again due to the poor quality of material submitted
it is hard to make an assumption of what is being requested.



Compliance with Relevant Codes

With the submitted     planning material supporting      plans it is difficult to how the application
intends to meet the requirements      of the following   relevant Codes, their overall and specific
outcomes.

Business Use Code

  Gar Parking
  09 Sufficient carpar1<ingis available to               59.'/ Off street carparking is provided at a
  accommodate the number and type of vehicles            rate of 1 space per 20m' of gross floor area;
  Iikelv to be aenerated bv me uses on the site

The applicant within the supporting     material has underestimated        the total use area of the
                2
operation.    9m is not realistic and in a true sense the activity will require 40m2• As such
carparking need to be provided for 2 vehicle spaces, the included plans and description do
not detail how and where this will occur to the relevant standard.

Driveway and Carparking Code

 14.111.2 The overall outcomes sQoght for the Driveways and Carpar1ling Code are thefolio'hing-

 a)   Safe and reasonable access to and from vehicle accommodation and standing areas within a
      property and from the public road is provided;

 b)   The sarety of pedestrians and cyclists is protected;

 d)   Carparking spaces and the associated manoeuvring areas provided are designed to be safe
      and functional and meet the reasonable requirements of the particular land use;

 e)   Adequate provision is made for the standing, parliing, loading and unloading, access and
      manoeuvring of service vehicles within the de'yelopmenl site;


The application fails to demonstrate with material provided how compliance can be achieved
to meet these outcomes. The site presently has a vehicle hire business established which
utilised an unformed gravel carpark for both maintenance and washing of hire vehicles and
their storage and promotion.   Additionally   on site, motor scooters and bicycles are hired and
displayed taking up further land within the sites boundaries.
