PM Submission Object - James & Mary Schofield MCU16/0130

   14. The existing entrance is not desirable when considered in conjunction with the number of
       accesses directly to the north. Further the existing exit deposits vehicles directly onto the
       existing pedestrian crossing which is not safe or desirable. As the proposal seeks to
       intensify and change the existing uses on site a traffic report and analysis should have
       provided as part of the application to assess the impacts of the additional traffic from the
       proposed industrial uses. This application fails to improve the vehicular movements from
       the site.




   15. The applicants statement that the 'number of vehicles using both crossovers will not
       substantially change. This is because the scale of the development on the subject land is
       not being altered .... the existing traffic levels for both siles will not materially change' is
       not correct. The applicant is increasing the use of the site though the provision of
       additional uses on site including a garden centre and coffee shop and a range of other
       industrial uses

   16. The applicants traffic and access comments are further flawed as he further states that
       the adjoining land use (Klinge Scaffolding) will not generate high levels of traffic. The
       application does not consider that the adjoining site could at any stage be used for
       residential units and gives no consideration for this possible development. The provision
       of carparking for industrial uses along the rear boundary further erodes the amenity of the
       residential lot to the rear.

   17. The proposal seeks to utilise an existing building that has limited street appeal or
       landscaping to Eumundi Noosa Road. Any change to the development on site should
       attempt to increase landscaping and overall amenity. The proposal is deficient in this
       regard.

   18. The proposal introduces a range of uses that are inappropriate for the current residential
       zoning and character of the area.

   1g. If Council is serious about maintaining the integrity bf the Industrial zoned areas of the
       locality then these uses should be moved out of the residential area to the industrial
       areas
