MCU14/0056 Information Request

                                                                                   MCU14/0056



Information Required
18     Provide information regarding the trucks expected to access the site and include in
       particular:
       (a)     Types of trucks expected to access the site for petrol fuelling and the
               refuelling of fuel storage tanks.
       (b)     Access path of deliveries and service vehicle from the roads and within the
               site.
       (c)     Plan/s to show the manoeuvring and truing movements for delivery trucks
               accessing the loading bay/s of the food store and the fuel storage tanks for
               refuelling (clarify if the fuel tanks are above or underground).

Issue - Traffic
A number of traffic and accessibility issues require further assessment and resolution.

Information Required
19     Justification for the proposed commercial development having access via Ferrells
       Road, which functions as a minor residential collector street, or alternatively, provide
       amended plans and analyses based on all access via the proposed Myall Street
       access. If access to and from Ferrells Road continues to be proposed, explain how
       service vehicle ingress or egress via Ferrells Road will be avoided.

20     Justification for the proposed convenience retail and fast food facilities being located
       so remote from the town centre of Cooroy, so that virtually all external trips must be
       via private vehicle.

21     Provide analysis of the development impact on the traffic conditions within Cooroy
       CBD and particularly on the intersection of Myall Street with Elm Street (the railway
       overpass) and include recommended works to offset impacts at this intersection.

22     Explain the expected or intended relationship between the proposed development
       and the adjacent Bruce Highway, given that it is proposed to be located immediately
       adjacent to an all-turns interchange with the highway. It appears that, depending on
       signage, it could be intended to function as a service centre to two separate facilities
       – both Myall Street and the Bruce Highway. This will be particularly relevant in
       respect of the discussion at Section 4.2.1 of the Pekol Traffic and Transport Report.
       In particular, any “drop-in” traffic diverted from the Bruce Highway will effectively be
       “new trips” in respect of the Myall Street intersections.

23     Taking into account the item above, provide further justification for the design traffic
       generations discussed in Section 4.2.1 of the Traffic and Transport report, and
       provide the results of new analysis if design generation rates are adjusted.

24     The results of appropriate speed surveys to justify the design speeds adopted for
       sight distance and geometric design purposes.

25     Further details to identify clearing requirements within the road reserve, sign
       relocations and property boundary or fence set-backs which might be necessary to
       provide satisfactory sight distances to and from the proposed site access
       intersection with Myall Street.
