MCU14/0087 Notice of Submission - Jeff Rowland

.   ,




        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 eodes

        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

          Car Parking
          09 Sufficient carpar1<ingis available to                59.1 Off street carparking is provided at a
          accommodate the number and type of vehicles             rate of 1 space per 20m' of gross floor area;
          likelv to be oenerated bv the uses on the site

        The applicant within the supporting      matefial 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 sQught for the Dri,'eways and Carparning Code are the fo!lowing-

         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 safety of pedestrians and cyclists is protected;

         d)   Carpar1<ingspaces and the associated manoeuvring areas provided are designed to be safe
              and functional and meet the reasonable requirements of the paJ1icularland use;

         e)   Adequate provision is made for the standing, par1<ing,loading and unloading, access and
              manoeuvring of ser{ice vehicles within the development 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.
