O

Create a new zone to accommodate a limited number of exclusive Hotel and Motels.  The zoning should be low density accommodation and designed with the high country landscape as the first consideration.

The town will not be balanced with all accommodation concentrated in and around the main shops and to the west of the town.

Concentrating the accommodation in this area will add congestion to the township.

The lake view around Cowans Hill is spectacular and must be used for the full potential of the town.

Council explanation for these changes is inadequate.

2

No decision should be made without consultation with the land owners.

O

Remove section iii(a) and (b) as inappropriate district plan rules in relation to land east of Hamilton Drive to top of Cowans Hill.

The 20 metre setback is unnecessary as our land is on average 5-8 metre above road level and provides a natural buffer.

The 10 metre setback is unnecessary as over 90% of the land is not seen from the Main Highway.

Reinstate the Travellers Accommodation zone on Cowans Hill or at least Residential 2.

Transit New Zealand

1

S

That the area of the proposed Residential 1 Zone at Cowans Hill be approved by the Council.

It reflects the resource consent which was granted last year for a three stage subdivision of Cowans Hill which Transit gave written approval.

All access to the above subdivision is internal.

Residential zoning will reduce the demand for any new access onto the state highway which would have been more sought after in the TA zone.

2

Amend Rule 3.1.1d(iii)(a) as follows

where a site adjoins the State Highway within the Residential 1 zone in Lake Tekapo, east of Hamilton Drive, all buildings shall be set back a minimum of 20m from the road State Highway boundary.

The rule should be amended so that it is more explicit that the 20m setback is from the State Highway boundary.

Insert the following new issue

Issue 3 Maintaining the through route function of arterial roads adjoining residential areas

In new areas of residential development adjoining an arterial road (state highway), there can be a desire for direct access to the highway.  This results in land use development being undertaken in a way that adversely affects the supporting transportation network.  It is important that any new areas of residential development incorporate an internal roading network in order to protect the strategic importance of the Districts arterial roads.

There is no provision in the residential areas to protect the strategic importance of the state highway network.

The new issue, objective, policy and assessment matter promote integrated development planning, including traffic management and access provisions for areas of high degree of land use change.

4

Insert the following new objective

To integrate land use and transportation planning, including traffic and access management, for areas within the District where development and land use change is occurring.

5

Insert the following new Policy

To require the provision of internal roading networks and avoid access onto the state highway network (arterial roads) for development or redevelopment within the Residential Zone

6

Insert the following new assessment matter

In Lake Tekapo, whether there is a practical alternative internal roading network so that access directly onto the State Highway (arterial roads) is avoided.
