A detailed report outlining the application is attached.

RECOMMENDATION

AND THAT Council decline consent to depart from Section 9.3.3 (Vehicle Access and Crossings) on the grounds that the effects could be more than minor due to the damage that that could be caused to the existing seal, and the unknown use of proposed Lot 2 which is larger than a residential only use.

That a Community Recreation Facilities Contribution of $1935.86 plus GST be paid to Council for the creation of one additional lot (Plains Ward).

That the subdividing owner shall provide a separate telephone connection for each of Lots 1 and 2 or written confirmation from the appropriate supply authority that these are available at no additional cost.

That the subdividing owner advise any prospective purchasers that any new building which is to be used for residential activities or communal non-residential purposes and is located in an unprotected area identified as liable to flooding, shall be constructed so that the floor level of the building shall be 500mm above the design flood levels. The entire areas of Lots 1 and 2 are located in an area identified as liable to flooding.

That pursuant to Section 36(1)(b) of the Resource Management Act 1991, the Applicant shall pay Council charges for receiving, processing and granting the Resource Consent.
