8. MANOEUVRING & ACCESSIBILITY IN BASEMENT CAR PARKS

Council has requested further information regarding the operations of the car parking
arrangements. The information requested includes;

18. Indicate on plans the turning paths for vehicles at the intersections in the
car parking levels. The area must be sufficient to allow vehicles to pass at the
intersections.

19. Indicate the available sight lines at the aisle and ramp intersections.

23. Indicate on plans the location and extent of the existing landscaped
median in Serenity Close. Demonstrate how the proposed entry and exit paths
of the various vehicles will be affected by the median. The paths shall extend
from entry to the site. The path through the site and the exit path to head east
along Serenity Close.

24. Demonstrate how service and delivery vehicles can access the loading
areas at the ground floor and lower ground floor levels. The vehicle path
shall also include the headroom available at each loading bay and along the
vehicles access path.

Vehicle turning paths have been provided in drawings attached to Appendix D.
Turning paths for vehicles passing at intersections are shown on Plan No. 0293 — SET
T03. A B99 turning template has been used to demonstrate the path of turning
vehicles at the ramp intersections. Vehicle can adequately pass at these intersections.

Sight lines have been indicated on Plan No. 0293 — SET T03 and indicate an available
sight distance of 165m and 17.5m. Whilst AS2890.1:2004 provides
recommendations for sight distances at access driveways, there are no specific
requirements for basement car parks where 85" percentile speeds are low.

The existing landscaped median on Serenity Close currently has a break opposite Lot
2 for access to the northern properties on Serenity Close. The proposed development
incorporates two additional breaks in the median to accommodate the service vehicle
exit manoeuver and the western exit from the site. The additional breaks provide
improved access for Lot 3 whilst maintaining pedestrian refuge access across Serenity
Close to the west.

Service delivery turning paths are shown on Plan No. 0293- SET TO1 and T02. It is
expected that delivery trucks (refrigerated trucks) will service the ground floor area
and vans (laundry collections) will access the basement car park. Headroom
availability is show as 2400mm in drawings provided by DBI Architects (A-SD-
4.105B) and is shown in Appendix A.
