Clearview Park Development Submissions Robert Feasey and Lisa Borthwick (14): Mr Robert Feasey spoke to his submission and made the following additional comments: - Mr Feasey believed that the value of his property would be reduced if a thoroughfare was introduced.  Prior to purchasing his property he had asked if there were any plans for the areas and was not told of any. Bruno Petrenas (16): Mr Bruno Petrenas spoke to his submission and made the following additional comments: - Prior to any land being swapped the performance of the re-aligned watercourse should be confirmed. - The width of the shared path was unable to comply with the minimum road width of the District Plan, but Council considers this effect to be less than minor and the statement from Council regarding use of the pathway did not seem to indicate occasional use. - Dogwood Way was a unique cul-de-sac with a large retirement village at the end which creates its own traffic issues.  The introduction of the shared pathway would create further safety issues for children, elderly residents and pedestrians. - If the land swap was to go ahead appropriate concrete pavers should be used for the carriageway construction. Grant Honey (19): Mr Grant Honey spoke to his submission and made the following additional comments: - The proposed land swap would result in adverse effects and there was nothing to avoid, remedy or mitigate these effects on local, residential and conservation amenity values. - Mr Honey proposed an amendment to the provision of land swap that the 3 metre strip be reduced to 1.5 metres from the corner of lot 52 through to Clearview Drive, keeping consistent with the newly laid walkway/cycle path. - The proposal had no recreational or community benefits and was only for the benefit of the developer with only lip service paid to residents.

Moved Leonie Hapeta, seconded Vaughan Dennison. The COMMITTEE RESOLVED 1.   That the Sport and Recreation Committee heard submissions from presenters who indicated their wish to be heard in support of their submission. 2.   Note the Procedures for Hearing of Submissions, as described in the Procedure Sheet.
