Item 7.12 - Attachment 1

Summary of submissions received

Submission No	Address	Issues Raised	Response
1	4a Hermington Street Epping	* concern over the apparent disuse/inactivity at the TAFE nursery adjoining the site * additional population from development will place further demand on food resources and declining oil reserves	* the current and future use of the adjacent TAFE premises is not within the control of Council. The TAFE is not part of the development site * concerns in relation to the sites proximity to public transport were expressed by Council at the time the original project application was considered by the DoP
2	21 Second Avenue Epping	* motor vehicle traffic congestion – inability of road network to cope and signalisation will exacerbate delays at intersection * access to Second avenue – concern over potential future road access * concern over future use of TAFE	* the signalisation of the Mobbs/Marsden intersection has been determined as necessary to mitigate the traffic impact of this development * the proposal does not include provision of vehicle access to the site via Second Avenue * Council is unaware of the future use of the TAFE site. This does not form part of the development site
3	16/36 Mobbs Lane Epping	* query over how cash component of VPA will be spent * concern over potential flooding from stormwater run off * what if traffic lights cost more than anticipated – where will money come from?	* cash contribution will go into Section 94 accounts and spent on items identified in the works schedule * noted however these concerns are not directly related to the draft VPA on exhibition * the signalisation if intersection is not ‘capped’ at a certain value rather this is ‘deliverable’ of the VPA. If works are not completed satisfactorily then a security bond will protect Council/community
4	15 Second Avenue Epping	* concern over length of queuing bay, width of queuing bay, and safety issues arising particularly for buses * who will be liable for any remediation works *suggest independent safety audit be carried out	* the exhibited plans are intended to be a concept and not final technical drawings. These are required to be prepared and approved by the RTA who controls the intersection. Council (and other agencies/service providers) will be consulted in this process and plans reviewed by Councils’ Traffic & Road safety team
5	276 Marsden Road Carlingford	* inadequacy of turning lane width * object to any narrowing of verge as will compromise ability of No’s 274, 276 & 276A to use driveways due to increased gradient * who will bear costs of any rectification works required	* these concerns will be forwarded to the RTA and the proponent to ensure use of driveways is not compromised unacceptably * If works are not completed satisfactorily then a security bond will protect Council/community
6	276 Marsden Road Carlingford	* raises similar concerns to those in submission No 5 as well as more general concerns regarding congestion on Marsden Road as a result of the signalisation of the intersection and queuing distances. Request copies of traffic reports.	* response as above. * traffic reports considered by the consent authority (DoP) are available on the planning nsw website.
