DEPUTATIONS BY APPOINTMENT 1.1 BRUCE HARDING - CASHMERE VILLAGE GREEN Bruce Harding was in attendance and addressed the Board in relation to enhancing legal protection of the Cashmere Village Green and its special character for the long term future. He discussed the Management Plan and Tree Protection Regime and also raised the possibility of the Board investigating the matter of additional legal protection to recognise the special character of the village green. In particular, Mr Harding thought consideration could be given to a covenant over the area or dual reserve classification to include historic reserve status to acknowledge Maori heritage associated with the area. The Chair thanked Mr Harding for his deputation. 1.2 NATALIE SWEETAPPLE - CASHMERE VILLAGE GREEN Natalie Sweetapple attended the meeting and discussed the Cashmere Village Green. She brought to the Board’s attention her concerns regarding the damage to trees on the reserve caused by vehicular parking, and her belief that this was an illegal activity. Ms Sweetapple produced a copy of the Cashmere Management plan and asked for clarification of the status of this document and of the legal status of the Green area that she understands to be recreation reserve under the Reserves Act 1977. The plan drawn up in 2001 recognises the issue of vehicles parking on the Green she said. Ms Sweetapple would like to see the Green inaccessible to vehicles. The Chair thanked Ms Sweetapple for her deputation. 12. 6. 2014 - 5 - ATTACHMENT TO CLAUSE 3 1.3 ARTHUR MCKEE, BRENT GEORGE AND GILLIAN PARR – CASHMERE VILLAGE GREEN Arthur McKee, Brent George and Gillian Parr brought a deputation on the issue of vehicles parking on the Village Green. Mr George indicated that he is a registered surveyor and confirmed for the Board that there is an area of legal road that extends 10 metres from the boundary of the houses adjacent to the green and incorporates part of the grassed area to beyond the tree line. His property adjoins the green and he opposes the introduction of any barriers to parking. Mr George maintained that any such action would be illegal as an obstruction of a legal road. Mrs Parr also lives near to the green and told the Board that she is happy for parking to continue on the grassed area within the legal road as this safe place to park particularly for pickup and drop offs at nearby Cashmere Primary School. She considers that the trees are still generally healthy. Mr McKee told the Board that both he and his son own properties adjacent to the Green and to access the house with a trailer necessitates driving onto the grassed area. He considers the area provides a safer parking option than Dyers Pass Road. The Chair thanked Mrs Parr and Messrs George and McKee for their deputation. Refer Clause 11 for the decision on this matter. 1.4 AGE CONCERN CANTERBURY Ms Yvonne Palmer, Project Coordinator for Age Concern Canterbury was in attendance at the meeting and gave the Board an update on current community programmes for the elderly that Age Concern is involved in.
