4. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
5. NON-NOTIFIED RESOURCE CONSENT APPLICATIONS
The applicant has applied for subdivision consent to subdivide the property into three lots. It is intended that the existing dwelling and garage be removed, and that three dwellings ("townhouses") be erected on the lots. Each of the lots are proposed to have an area of 337m2. Lots 1 and 2 are to gain access to Gilmour Street, and Lot 3 is to gain access to Union Street.
The applicant has also applied for land use consent for the three proposed dwellings, which do not meet the performance standards in the District Plan for density, outdoor living courts, vehicle access and crossings, and other minor departures. It is proposed that the subdivision be completed prior to the erection of all three dwellings, therefore two separate resource consents have been applied for, so that each is capable of being implemented without the other consent. The proposed dwellings comprise three levels – basement, mid floor and top floor. The maximum height of the buildings will be approximately 6.5m above ground level. Elevations and floor plans have been submitted with the land use consent application.
A detailed report is attached.
A hearing has been scheduled for 9.00 am.
RECOMMENDATION
THAT pursuant to Section 105(2A) of the Resource Management Act 1991 the Hauraki District Council declines consent to a non notified discretionary activity application to erect three dwellings at 39 Union Street, legally described as Section 110A Town of Waihi, for the following reasons:
1. The proposal is not in accordance with some of the objectives and policies and assessment criteria of the District Plan.
2. The adverse effects of the proposal on traffic and pedestrian safety on Gilmour Street will be more than minor.
3. There are no special circumstances or characteristics of the proposal requiring a higher density of development.
AND
THAT pursuant to Section 105(2A) of the Resource Management Act 1991 the Hauraki District Council declines consent to a non notified non-complying activity application to subdivide Section 110A Town of Waihi, located at 39 Union Street, Waihi into three lots, for the following reasons:
1. The area of the lots are considered inappropriate taking into account the performance standards in the District Plan, and the topography of the site.
