    Variation 2 change ID RTZ1 & RTZ3
    Provision name and number, or address and map layer name 13 Wattie Fox Lane
    My/our submission seeks the following decision from the Council: Multiple submission points/decisions outlined below
    Details RTZ3 - 13 Wattie Fox Lane. My understanding of Gen Res 1 is that the minimum site size will be reduced to 400m2. Given the topography of 13 Wattie Fox Lane this makes no sense. In places it is very steep and to develop sections of that size would involve shifting large amounts of earth. I believe that a 750-800m2 size would make a great deal more sense - it would still allow three more sections and would allow for easier development. However the whole premise of future development is reliant on being able to connect to the Council Foul Water network (currently I am on a septic tank). Unless written approval of this is forth coming from 3 Waters then I do NOT want any change to take place. Any change without this permission would significantly increase my land value, thereby causing further financial burden, without the actual ability to subdivide. RTZ1 - 30 Mercer Street. I have seen the proposal for subdivision under this change - 90+ sections - and the density is insane for the site. I fail to see how the Transportation network could possibly cope with the level of traffic generated. The proposal includes widening Wattie Fox Lane to 15m by demolishing 127 Barr Street and filling in the gully opposite 3 & 5 Wattie Fox Lane, however I just don't see how the intersection of Wattie Fox Lane and Barr Street could cope with 200 vehicles (allowing approximately 2 vehicles per section). I feel to develop this site to that level would require a second access point to the transportation network - but I don't see how that can be achieved. Add in things like, how will collection of recycling and rubbish be achieved, the impact on the waste water system (even with holding tanks), pedestrian access etc and I just don't see how the site can sustain that level of development. I feel restricting this site to 40-50 sections maximum would be a better option.
    Reasons for these views RTZ3 - 13 Wattie Fox Lane. I certainly wish to subdivide at some point in the future - say 10 years +. However I wish to be able to subdivide in the most sustainable way possible and feel a larger section size would be better all round (including for the environment). RTZ1 - 30 Mercer Street. I do not feel that the infrastructure of the area can sustain the proposed level of development. 90+ sections would be detrimental to all concerned, and I feel that the developer is more interested in maximising his profits over the long term good of the area and to allow the density the developer wishes would let the area turn into an ill maintained slum.
