HC08/49 Gordon/Leonard CARRIED

 

MRS M EDWARDS, 33 TAYLOR AVE, PAEROA (424748 – SWIM-00363)(25KB)

The applicant is seeking an exemption from all the fencing requirements of the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987 for her swimming pool.

A detailed report from the Monitoring Officer including supporting documents was presented.

A hearing was scheduled for 9.20am. The hearing commenced at 9.20am.

The applicants were not in attendance.

Staff Report

Mr East reported that Mrs Edwards has a swimming pool on her property at 33 Taylor Avenue, Paeroa which is presently full of water. The pool area has a pool fence that complies with the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act, but there is direct access via a sliding door from the garage into the pool area. Council staff carried out an inspection of the property on the 1st August 2008 and noted the non compliance in that there was no exemption or waiver in place for the door opening directly into the pool area from the garage. An application has been received from Mrs Edwards seeking a waiver from the fencing requirements where the sliding door from the garage opens into the pool area. Photographs were presented at the hearing.

The door that opens directly into the pool area from the garage has a securing device fitted above the floor which can not be reached by a child under the age of 6 years old, as allowed under clause 11 of the Schedule to the Act, nevertheless this needs to be specifically approved by Council under section 6 of the Act. The securing device is capable of being locked.

The pool area is effectively fenced off from access by children other than those staying as invited guests, and therefore under the supervision of the house owner. It should be noted however, that if children younger than 6 years of age were staying at the property they could gain direct access to the pool if not supervised. The main access to the house for the public is via a separate door other than the doors to the pool area from the garage.

The hearing closed at 9.25am.

The Chairperson advised that Council’s decision was reserved until it had considered the evidence presented and all other relevant matters.

MRS M EDWARDS, 33 TAYLOR AVE, PAEROA (424748 – SWIM-00363)

DECISION

After considering all the evidence the Committee:

HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

RESOLVED

THAT the staff report be received

AND THAT the request from Mrs Edwards seeking a waiver from the requirement of Clauses 8 to 10 of the Schedule to the Act be granted on the grounds that it would be unreasonable for the access to the pool from the garage to comply with the Act. Clause 11 of the Schedule to the Act allows for this specific situation on condition that the doors are fitted with a lock that, when properly operated, prevents the door from being opened by children under 6 years of age. Allowing the exemption would not significantly increase danger to young children.

The waiver is subject to the following conditions:

That all doors with access from the garage into the pool area be fitted with a key operated lock that when properly operated prevents the door from being readily opened by children under the age of 6 years.

That the door with access from the garage into the pool area is locked shut when the pool is not under adult supervision.

That the decision of Council be entered on the title of the land for the information of a future owner.

That in every other respect the pool and fencing complies with the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987.

NON-NOTIFIED RESOURCE CONSENT APPLICATIONS

APPLICATION TO SUBDIVIDE LOT 1 DPS 24715 INTO TWO RESIDENTIAL LOTS - D & L FAIRGRAY – 5 MORAY PLACE, WHIRITOA (RC-15521 / 427422)(220KB)

The applicants propose to subdivide Lot 1 DPS 24715, located at 5 Moray Place, Whiritoa into two residential allotments.

A detailed report and supporting documents from the Consultant Planner were attached.

A hearing was scheduled for 9.30am. The hearing commenced at 9.30am.

Mr Peter Rogers, Waihi Beach Surveyors Ltd (on behalf of) was in attendance for the benefit of the Hearing.

The applicants were not in attendance.

Mr Rogers tabled a report of the subdivision proposal.

Mr Rogers (Applicants representative) presented a summary of the background to the proposal. He noted that the original application to subdivide the property that was submitted by Connell Wagner Ltd in August 2006 had been amended to provide a more appropriate design and layout. The submitted application was in fact the sixth version of the scheme plan since August 2006.

Peter Rogers also made the following points about the new application and the planners report by Mr Gray:

Q. Councillor Gordon asked how high the existing eave was.

A. Mr Rogers replied that the building was two storeys high and had an eave above the maximum height of a truck, of 4.25m.

Q. Councillor Leonard asked if the existing dwelling was the Fairgray’s permanent home.

A. Mr Rogers replied and stated that the dwelling was their holiday home.

Staff Report

My Gray (Consultant Planner) presented a summary of his recommendation. Mr Gray made the following points regarding his recommendation:

  • The original application submitted by Connell Wagner had been recommended to be declined by the District Planner prior to the hearing on the grounds that the layout was not practical and no solution had been provided to mitigate adverse effects of narrow Right-of- Way width.

  • The new layout provides for more practical boundaries and access options.

  • Right-of-Way width can be mitigated by the use of Gobi blocks for the formation.

  • The proposed eaves easement is not considered to be appropriate.

Q. The Chair asked why the eaves easement was not considered appropriate.

A. Mr Gray replied that Hauraki District Council had never used this method as a means of compliance before and the applicant could just as easily remove the existing hedge to provide a suitable width for the access leg.

Q. Councillor Bubb asked if it was necessary to include speed humps in the Right-of-Way formation.

A. Council’s Consents Engineer replied and stated that the speed humps would reduce the traffic speed after the Right-of-Way has been widened by the Gobi blocks. However, the location of the speed humps would depend on whether or not approval could be obtained from other owners or users of the Right-of-Way.

Right of Reply

Mr Rogers stated that he had no concerns in including speed humps within the formation of the Right-of-Way and accepted Council’s argument regarding the removal of the hedge to increase the width of the access leg.

The hearing closed at 10.10am.

The Chairperson advised that Council’s decision was reserved until it had considered the evidence presented and all other relevant matters.

SUBDIVISION APPLICATION TO CREATE THREE RESIDENTIAL SITES (ONE ADDITIONAL TITLE) S R & S M LOBB, 18 B COUNTY ROAD, KARANGAHAKE (RC- 15422 DOC 395715) (144KB)

The applicant proposes to subdivide Section 74 Blk XIII Ohinemuri SD (CT SA5A/231) and Lot 1 DPS 86120 and Sec 245 Blk XIII Ohinemuri SD (CT SA 67D/903) at 18 B County Road, Karangahake, into three residential allotments.

A detailed report and supporting documents from the Consultant Planner were attached.

A hearing was scheduled for 10.30am. The hearing commenced at 10.30am.

Mr and Mrs Lobb were in attendance for the benefit of the hearing.

Applicants

Mr and Mrs Lobb spoke to their application, in particular in relation to the recommended conditions they opposed.

Cr Bubb requested clarification of where the Lobb’s residence was located. Mrs Lobb advised that they reside on Lot 3 and intend to sell Lot 2 and retain Lots 1 and 3. Currently, the property is held in two titles. They seek adjustment of the boundary between the two titles and to create a third lot (Lot 2) which will have access from Terrace Road.

They objected to the requirement to upgrade the spur road serving proposed Lots 1 and 3 and the expected future maintenance by the Lot 1 and 3 owners. Their second objection was to the roading contribution of $5,063.88 plus GST as a capital contribution towards the cost of improving Terrace Road to sealed road standard.

Mrs Lobb stated that the small spur road has never been maintained by the Council since its formation 30 years ago. It was initially formed with gravel which the property owners have maintained themselves over the years. They considered the road did not need upgrading as they were satisfied with its current condition. They did not want see the removal of the trees and shrubs if the road had to be widened. The current look of the road suits the surroundings and adds amenity value. The character of the area is not urban but rural lifestyle.

The other road users, their neighbours Mr and Mrs Staples, are satisfied with the current state of the road and do not wish to see any upgrade to it.

The Lobb’s considered the current look of the road is more of a ‘driveway’ which provides security and privacy for them.

Staff Report

Ms van Steenbergen presented the staff report on the application.

Ms van Steenbergen outlined the status of the application as follows:

Compliance:

  • Meets the rule regarding standard minimum size for lots (minimum area)

  • Minimum shape factor (10m x 15m) excluding yards

  • Minimum frontage rule (3.5m)

  • Bulk and location of buildings

    • Non compliance:

  • Infrastructure and services. Domestic effluent disposal does not comply. Lots 1 and 2 are not to be connected to a reticulated sewer system and have an area of less than 2500m2.

  • Sight Distances. Lot 2 requires 65 metre sight distances, achieves 60 metres to the north and 55 metres to the west.

  • Street and Road Design. Unformed legal road, (to which Lot 1 and 2 has direct frontage) is not proposed to be upgraded to urban road standards.

    •

    Due to the low speed environment and low traffic count, sight distances should not be problem.

    Formation of the spur road to half road standard is considered necessary under access rule 9.3.

    Where a subdivider wishes to use an unformed road to serve a subdivision, the rule requires that the road be formed to full road standard. Subdividers can apply to form the road to a lesser standard, and consent has been granted to other subdividers to construct such roads to half road standard. If there is later further subdivision along the road, that subdivider would build the rest of the road to bring it to full road standard.

    The roading contribution has been calculated as a contribution to the cost of sealing of Terrace Road extension of seal due to it being the access to Lot 2.

    While in the residential zone, Ms van Steenbergen advised there is no requirement in the area for extra infrastructure such street lights, kerb and channeling and footpaths etc and no contribution has been calculated for these.

    Mr Lye advised that a vehicle count of 7 trips per day is used the purpose of the calculations.

    Mr Lye advised that access to Lots 1 and 3 is via County Road and access for Lot 2 is via Terrace Road. As there is no increase in the number of lots, Mr Lye was not concerned about the upgrade of Terrace Road as the road is quite functional. If the land is further subdivided in future then Terrace Road contributions should be sought towards its sealing.

    Right of Reply

    Mrs Lobb stated that they disputed the 7 trips per property per day. They considered this was not realistic as the only users are themselves and their adjoining neighbours, Mr and Mrs Staples. They considered 2 trips per days was more accurate. They emphasized their wish that the spur road access off County Road stays in its present condition with the grass strip intact and that it retain its ‘driveway’ appearance.

    The hearing closed at 11.15am.

    The Chairperson advised that Council’s decision was reserved until it had considered the evidence presented and all other relevant matters.

    Deliberations

    The Committee referred to the specific "residential" character of Karangahake and the desirability of subdivisions and other developments maintaining that character. The provision of surface infrastructure - roads etc should also support that character.

    Various options for upgrading of the spur road were considered in this context. The Committee concluded that, due to the above and to the following:

    　

    S R & S M LOBB, 18 B COUNTY ROAD, KARANGAHAKE (RC- 15422 DOC 395715)

    DECISION

    After considering all the evidence the Committee:

    RESOLVED

    THAT the staff report be received

    AND THAT pursuant to Section 104B of the Resource Management Act 1991 the Hauraki District Council grant consent to this discretionary activity application to subdivide Section 74 Blk XIII Ohinemuri SD (CT SA5A/231) and Lot 1 DPS 86120 and Sec 245 Blk XIII Ohinemuri SD (CT SA 67D/903), located at 18B County Road, Karangahake, into three residential allotments, and to depart from the minimum site size of Lot 1 hereon and Lot 2 hereon for sites to be serviced by on-site domestic effluent systems (as specified in Section 9.3.7.3 – 1), to allow reduced sightlines for the access point to Lot 2 (as specified in Section 9.3.3.3 – A) and to depart from the requirement to upgrade the unformed legal road to urban road standards (as specified in Section 9.3.17.3 – A) of the District Plan on the grounds that:

    • The proposal is consistent with the intensity, form and character of the surrounding residential activities in the area;

    • Retaining the existing formation and is width of the spur road assists with maintaining the specific "residential" character of Karangahake; removes the need for the installation of specific stormwater disposal systems, which would require vegetation removal from the road reserve; in the short term, at least, the use of the spur road will remain unchanged, therefore the formation does not need upgrading, this can be reassessed if further subdivision occurs along the spur road.
