MCU14/0087 - Notice of Submission - James Malcolm

..


     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 occurred.

     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

       Car Parking
       09 Sufficient carpar1dngis available to                59.'/ Off slreet carparking is provided at a
       acccmmodate the number and type of vehicles            rate of 1 space per 20m' of gross floor area;
       Iikelv to be Qeneratedbv the 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 sQught for lhe Drivewa)'s and Carparking 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 safetyofpedeslrians    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, parking, loading and unloading, access and
           manoeuvring of service 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.
