1.2 Purpose of Report

The Saldanha Bay Municipality has in the 2011 Langebaan SDF and its 2012-2017 IDP identified the need for a comprehensive Sports Complex for Langebaan.

4 Portion 12 of the Farm Olipantskop nr 191 Langebaan (New Municipal Sports Complex)

During 2016 the Messrs CES commenced with the environmental process so as to obtain an Environmental Approval (EA) for the establishment of this complex on a portion of Portion 12 of the Farm Olifantskop nr 191, Langebaan (“the subject property”). This initial environmental application involved only 10ha and was an Environmental Authorisation issued in 2017.

Since this approval the Municipality has realized that given the nature of this facility as well as the scarcity of available land, that it should pro- actively plan and reserve a larger track of land for this Sports Complex, hence the proposal for the subdivision and rezoning of approximately 33ha.

Conradie Goodwin and Associates was appointed by the Saldanha Bay Municipality (the Client) to apply for the subdivision and rezoning of this portion of Portion 12 of the Farm Olifantskop nr 191, Langebaan to allow for the establishment of this new Sports Complex.

It is therefore the purpose of this report to:

 successfully motivate the application for the Subdivision of approximately 33 ha from Portion 12 of the Farm Olifantskop nr 191, and  the Rezoning of this subdivided portion from Agriculture to Authority Zone

An Environmental Authorisation for the development of a sports facilities and associated infrastructure on approximately 10ha was issued on 19 April 2017 (please refer to ANNEXURE E).

Although this approval was for 10ha, the department has been notified of the Municipality’s intention to extend the sports facility over approximately 29ha, in future.

DEADP has noted that while the Municipality may continue with the construction of the sports facilities over the approved 10ha, Environmental Authorisation must be obtained should the Municipality wishes to use the remainder of the property for the Sport Field Complex.

It should be noted that this application for the subdivision and rezoning of the approximately 33ha does not exempt the Municipality from complying with the above provision.

4.0 MOTIVATION - PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

4.1 Development Vision

Langebaan fulfils an important role as a recognized holiday and tourist destination. This role will be amplified with the increased development of the Saldanha Bay Port, industrial area and the concurrent growth of Saldanha and Vredenburg.

12 Portion 12 of the Farm Olipantskop nr 191 Langebaan (New Municipal Sports Complex)

As larger numbers of permanent residents settle in Langebaan, the need for the provision of a greater variety of economic and recreational opportunities for the local residents increases.

The Saldanha Bay Municipality in preparing the 2011 Spatial Development Framework for Langebaan, considered the need for a comprehensive sport and recreational facility for Langebaan. This facility was proposed as part of the restructuring of Langebaan, where development was proposed east of the established Langebaan Town, along Oostewal Street.

This proposed node includes the development of the Sport and Recreational facility, Mixed land use (Commercial and Residential) and Residential. The position of this node on the eastern periphery of Langebaan along Oostewal Street, allows for excellent accessibility, also off MR559 whilst negating possible congestion within Langebaan.

In terms of the 2012-2017 Integrated Development Plan, development of this facility was budgeted for in the 2013/2014 financial year.

Since this approval Messrs ACA architects drafted a conceptual layout for the entire envisaged Sports Complex as envisaged in the Langebaan

13 Portion 12 of the Farm Olipantskop nr 191 Langebaan (New Municipal Sports Complex)

SDF. This entire complex is situated on an area of approximately 29ha (please refer to ANNEXURES F & G).

This 29ha leaves an impractical ±4ha sliver of land between the proposed sports complex and the future LCE development phases. It was agreed with the Municipality that this approximately 4ha should be included with this application, hence the proposal for the subdivision and rezoning of approximately 33ha (as opposed to 29ha).

Extending the development footprint by the 4ha will allow the Municipality to utilise this apparent redundant area, practically and functionally within the context of the envisaged extension of the Sports Complex.

4.2 Access and Traffic

Messrs Sturgeon Engineers prepared an addendum to their original report for the Upgrading of Oostewal Road (please refer to ANNEXURE E).

This report assessed the proposed accesses off Oostewal as an Alternative 1, being further to the north and Alternative 2, adjacent to LCE.

This report investigated the expected transport related impacts of the Sports Complex development on a portion of Portion 12 of Farm 191 in Langebaan combined with the future and planned developments in the greater Langebaan area. The analysis evaluated both the current and future year 2033 design hour conditions. The key findings and recommendations of the report can be summarised as follows:

14 Portion 12 of the Farm Olipantskop nr 191 Langebaan (New Municipal Sports Complex)

All the study intersections are currently operating a acceptable levels of service during the normal weekday PM peak hour, however during the holiday seasons some of the intersections experience high levels of demand and are close to or exceeding capacity. Two alternative sites have been proposed for the location of the Sports Complex and the preferred site is Alternative 1 due to it being further away from the adjacent intersection and will have less of an impact on the adjacent residential area. Alternative 2 is less favourable, but not excluded for implementation, as this is closer to the adjacent intersection and will have a greater impact, in terms of traffic volumes, on the adjacent residential area. Access to Alternative 1 is via an existing gravel road approximately 360m west of the MR559 intersection and conforms to the minimum spacing requirements along Oostewal Road as well as having sufficient SSD in both directions. This new access will have a two‐lane cross section (one lane in, one lane out). The Oostewal Road/Sports Complex intersection is recommended to have turning lanes as well as a separate right turn lane. Overall, this intersection will operate satisfactorily. Under the 2033 total traffic conditions, all the study intersections are forecast to operate at unacceptable levels of service (LOS F) during the average weekday peak hour. The road network can accommodate the proposed development provided the recommended improvements are in place, in addition to the upgrades listed in the 2014 TIA. The proposed Sports Complex will provide 100 parking bays on-site. Stacking space for approximately 6 vehicles (±36m) is required at the entrance to the Sports Complex.

15 Portion 12 of the Farm Olipantskop nr 191 Langebaan (New Municipal Sports Complex)

A large portion of the community attracted to the Sports Complex will access the site by non‐motorised transport (NMT) modes i.e. on foot or by bicycle. Implement the accommodation of pedestrians on the sidewalks along the site frontage. Proposed public transport embayments/stops must be provided in the vicinity of the Sports Complex.

The report has shown that the proposed sports complex can be accommodated by the adjacent transport network, provided the recommendations presented in the report are implemented.

4.3 Availability of Services and Infrastructure

Services and associated infrastructure to the area will be required. The Saldanha Bay Municipality will be responsible for the budget allocation, appointment of consultants and construction of the required infrastructure.

5.0 SUMMARY

This proposed node includes the development of the Sport and

16 Portion 12 of the Farm Olipantskop nr 191 Langebaan (New Municipal Sports Complex)

Recreational facility, Mixed land use (Commercial and Residential) and Residential. The position of this node on the eastern periphery of Langebaan along Oostewal Street, allows for excellent accessibility, also off MR559 whilst negating possible congestion within Langebaan.

An Environmental Authorisation for the development of a sports facilities and associated infrastructure on approximately 10ha was issued on 19 April 2017.

Although this approval was for 10ha, the department has been notified of the Municipality’s intention to extend the sports facility over approximately 29ha, in future.

It should be noted that this application for the subdivision and rezoning of the approximately 33ha does not exempt the Municipality from complying with the above provision.

Approval of this application will allow the Saldanha Bay Municipality to continue with the development of the Langebaan Sports Complex on the 10ha for which and Environmental Authorisation has been issued, whilst applying for the required environmental approvals on the remainder of the 33ha property.

17 Portion 12 of the Farm Olipantskop nr 191 Langebaan (New Municipal Sports Complex)

MINUTES OF MEETING

CONSULTATION MEETING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS AND DEVELOPMENT PLANNING (DEA&DP) LANGEBAAN SPORTS COMPLEX Date: 1 November 2018 Time: 10:00 – 11:00 Location: Utilitas Building, 7 th Floor Boardroom, 1 Dorp Street, Cape Town Meeting Facilitator: Pieter de Villiers

Attendees: Ms Melanese Schippers – DEA&DP (MS) Mr Pieter de Villiers – Cornerstone Environmental Consultants (PdV)

Absent: None

Apologies: None

Agenda: 1. Brief Project Description – Previous and newly proposed Site Development Plan 2. Environmental Process to be undertaken 3. General Discussion 4. Way Forward

Please note that minutes are not verbatim and only critical issues and items for action have been noted.

Discussion

1 PdV: Recapped the Basic Assessment (BA) process and public participation process that were undertaken for the proposed Langebaan Sports Complex in 2016/2017. Environmental authorisation was obtained on 19 April 2017 for the Preferred Alternative site, which is approximately 10 hectares in size (see the approved Site Layout Plan attached to these minutes as Appendix A). The new proposed Site Development Plan (SDP) was discussed. It was indicated that this new proposal requires approximately 29 hectares of land (Appendix B ).

2 MS stated that the Municipality will have to obtain environmental authorisation for the remainder of the property, the approximately 19 hectares west of Flamingo’s, needed for the proposed new SDP footprint. A Basic Assessment (BA) Process will be required for this, as long as the activities remain below the thresholds of the listed activities for a full Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process.

Cornerstone Environmental Consultants (Pty) Ltd. | Reg. No. 2014/119899/07 Director: PJ de Villiers 1 Langebaan Sport Complex Minutes of Meeting 1 November 2018

Discussion She further stated that the area for which environmental authorisation has been obtained may be developed (this area will thus be excluded from any future impact assessments). However, she warned that development of the proposed SDP layout should not occur on this portion before authorisation has been obtained for the remainder of the property. The DEA&DP may not necessarily grant environmental authorisation for the remainder, because the impact on the intact vegetation will first need to be assessed again.

3 The indigenous vegetation area (the no-go area), containing Saldanha Flats Strandveld, was discussed. It was mentioned that Cape Nature already indicated that if the Municipality wishes to develop this portion of the site, they would have to investigate and obtain a biodiversity offset (see their comment dated 14 July 2016 attached as Appendix C). MS confirmed that they, the DEA&DP, will have to see this action implemented before agreeing to the development of this area. Therefore, if the client wishes to pursue an environmental authorisation process for the remainder of the site (that which was not authorised by the first BA process), they will have to investigate a biodiversity offset, or other alternative opportunities, where this vegetation type will be protected. PdV suggested the investigation of the natural area east of, adjacent Flamingoes, as a possible trade for the intact vegetation area that is required for the new proposed SDP footprint. This eastern area also contains similar indigenous vegetation than that found towards the west and it is closer to the area further east, which is indicated as a Critical Biodiversity Area on the Biodiversity Maps ( Appendix D). The Municipality may want to investigate the possibility of preserving and protecting the vegetation in this area, as opposed to a biodiversity offset somewhere else, if Cape Nature agrees to it.

4 Environmental authorisation should be obtained if the Municipality wishes to use the remainder of the property for the Sport Field Complex. A Basic Assessment process will be required to be undertaken. The botanical study will have to be revisited. Verify if all other specialist studies is still relevant to the proposed new project, i.e. traffic impact assessment etc. MS suggested that if the Municipality pursues an environmental authorisation process for the remainder of the property, that the Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) discusses the proposed approach with Cape Nature at commencement and that a pre-application BA process be followed. She also recommended that if Cape Nature requires a biodiversity offset study to be undertaken, that this be finalized during the pre-application phase of the BA process.

Dear Mr de Villiers

Re: Proposed development of a sports field complex on portion 12 of the Farm Oliphants Kop No. 191, Langebaan – Pre-application Draft Basic Assessment Report. DEA&DP Ref: 16/3/3/6/7/1/F4/7/3034/15

CapeNature would like to thank you for the opportunity to comment on this application and wish to make the following comments:

1. According to the South African Vegetation Map the vegetation on site consists of Saldanha Granite Strandveld which is considered to be an Endangered vegetation type. According to the vegetation maps compiled for the CAPE fine-scale project, the vegetation on site is more typical of Saldanha Flats Strandveld and the findings of the ecological specialist concur with this.

2. In an effort to utilize best available science and to generate figures which more accurately reflect the current degree of habitat loss in the Western Cape, CapeNature has recently produced updated provincial ecosystem status statistics in accordance with the National principles, criteria, and approach 1. The key findings relevant to this study show that d Saldanha Flats Strandveld, which only has less than 35% of its original extent remaining, meets the criteria for listing as Endangered in terms of Section 52 of the Biodiversity Act. We acknowledge that the list of threatened ecosystems published in 2011 under NEMBA still lists Saldanha Flats Strandveld as Vulnerable (although the reasons for its downgrade from the previously published list where it was listed as Endangered were never made clear and we believe this was done in error).

3. Although most of the site has become degraded, there is still some intact vegetation on site (approximately 1.5ha). Ideally, all intact Endangered vegetation should be protected from being developed and where this is unavoidable, a biodiversity offset should be obtained which is in line with the requirements laid out in the Western Cape Draft Biodiversity Offset Guidelines. Although, the site has not been determined as a Critical Biodiversity Area (2010 and 2014 update), there has been considerable loss of habitat in the Saldanha area over the last 5 years and areas currently mapped as “Other Natural Area” may be required to meet conservation targets in future.

4. We do acknowledge the site is relatively small and is unlikely to contribute significantly to meeting conservation targets. However, the 2016 provincial Critical Biodiversity Area map is due to be completed in the next month and we suggest a review of the site and possibly other alternatives after consideration of the 2016 product.

5. With regards to water use on the site, it must be noted that there is already a shortage of water supply in the area and CapeNature cannot support the use of potable water for irrigation on site. Recycling of treated effluent and stormwater must be considered for irrigation.

CapeNature reserves the right to revise initial comments and request further information based on any additional information that may be received.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr de Villiers

Re: Proposed development of a sports field complex on portion 12 of the Farm Oliphants Kop No. 191, Langebaan – Draft Basic Assessment Report. DEA&DP Ref: 16/3/3/6/7/1/F4/7/3034/15

CapeNature would like to thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Draft Basic Assessment Report. The following comments should be read in conjunction with our previous comments on the pre-application Basic Assessment Report.

1. The report, including the conclusion refers frequently to the vegetation on site being predominantly Saldanha Granite Strandveld. As stated in our previous comments, although the South African Vegetation Map (2006 & 2009) 1 indicates the site as being covered by Saldanha Granite Strandveld, according to the vegetation maps compiled for the CAPE fine-scale project, the vegetation on site is more typical of Saldanha Flats Strandveld and the findings of the ecological specialist concur with this.

2. Nevertheless, we find the preferred development site as indicated in Appendix B1 to be acceptable. The preferred site largely avoids the intact vegetation on site as mapped by the ecological specialist. Note that the intact vegetation (also indicated in Appendix B1) must be considered as a no-go area for associated infrastructure (e.g. pipelines), future expansion or any new projects. This should be included as a condition of authorisation. Ideally this area should be managed in such a way so that no further degradation occurs.

3. Our concerns with regard to the use of potable water for irrigation remain valid and only recycled treated effluent and stormwater should be used for this purpose.

1 Note that the 2012 South African Vegetation Map (available on SANBIs BGIS website) now shows the site as being mostly Saldanha Flats Strandveld.

2 Langebaan Sports Grounds Fauna & Flora Specialist Report

INTRODUCTION

The Saldanha Bay Municipality is proposing to develop sports grounds on Portion 12 of the Farm Olifants Kop No. 191, located outside of Langebaan on the West Coast. The development would consist of a rugby field, soccer field and various supporting buildings and irrigation infrastructure.

The site falls largely within the Saldanha Granite Strandveld vegetation type, which is listed as Endangered. Due to potential concern regarding the impact of the development on such listed vegetation types, Cornerstone Environmental Consultants has appointed Simon Todd Consulting to provide an ecological assessment of the proposed development site in order to inform the Basic Assessment process for the development.

The report provides a brief characterisation of the receiving environment and details the findings of a site visit that was conducted to assess the presence of sensitive vegetation or habitats within or near the proposed development footprint. Furthermore, mitigation and avoidance measures that should be implemented to reduce the potential impact of the development are identified and described.

RELEVANT ASPECTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT

The development would consist of a 10 000m2 rugby field, a soccer field of 5000m2 and a 3000m2 spacing between the fields. There will also be a clubhouse, spectator stands and a separate facility for the storage of equipment. Two development alternatives have been proposed, a site closer to town and the second alternative which is further away.

SITE VISIT

The site visit was conducted on the 16th of August 2015. During the site visit, the development footprint and adjacent areas were searched and a full plant species list for the affected area was developed. The presence of any plant species of conservation concern within the affected area was recorded and their locations recorded on a GPS if necessary. Areas of intact vegetation were noted in the field and marked with a GPS. In addition to flora, the presence of any faunal habitats of concern within the footprint was noted in field where present. A variety of photographs of the site were taken in order to characterise the site and illustrate any sensitive features present. It is important to note that the conditions at the time of the site visit were excellent as it was the wet season and the vegetation was growing the majority of species were in flower. There were few species present that could not be identified and the species list obtained for the site is therefore considered reliable and comprehensive. It is therefore unlikely that there are any important species present which were not visible at the time of the site visit. As a result, there are few limitations associated with the site visit and field assessment.

DESCRIPTION OF THE AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT

According to the National Vegetation Map (Mucina & Rutherford 2006) the site falls within the Saldanha Granite Strandveld vegetation type, with a very small extent of Saldanha Flats Strandveld within the south west of the site. However, the vegetation has been mapped in more detail and more recently by Helme (2007), which is considered a more reliable representation of the vegetation of the area. According to this map, depicted below in Figure 1, the site falls almost entirely within the Saldanha Flats Strandveld with a small fragment of Saldanha Granite Strandveld in the eastern corner of the site.

Characteristic species associated with the Saldanha Flats Strandveld vegetation type, which were observed at the site include Willdenowia incurvata, which is dominant across large parts of the central part of the site, especially on areas of deeper sands; woody and succulent shrubs such as Othonna cylindrica, Salvia lanceolata, Cissampelos capensis, Nylandtia spinosa, Hermannia scordifolia, Tetragonia fruticosa, Asparagus capensis, Ruschia tumidula, Jordaaniella dubia, Clutia daphnoides, Chrysanthemoides incana, Zygophyllum morgsana, Cotyledon orbiculata, Lebeckia sericea, Eriocephalus racemosus, Aspalathus hispida, Trachyandra divaricata, T.ciliata, Ehrharta calycina, Euphorbia caput medusae, E. mauritanica, and E.burmanii. Such intact areas are relatively limited but are likely to be impacted by the development for either case. However it is likely that the more distant 2nd Alternative would impact more intact vegetation than the 1st Alternative. The intact areas are depicted below in Figure 2 and 3. The south-western part of the site which has been disturbed in the past is dominated by dense stands of Zygophyllum morgsana and Lebeckia sericea and was probably cleared in the past with these species having recolonised this area (Figure 4)

Although the majority of the western half of the site is relatively open, there are some thicket elements in the northeast, with species such as Gymnosporia buxifolia, Euclea racemosa, Putterlickia pyracantha, Diospyros austro-africana, Osyris compressa, Olea exasperata, Rhus glauca, and Rhus laevigata present either as scattered individuals or in small bush clumps.

The majority of the northern part of the site has been disturbed in the past, especially in the area around the dump site. Alien species were dominant in this area with species such as Pennisetum clandestinum, Bromus japonicus and Acacia cyclops dominant (Figure 5). Other alien species prevalent at the site include Erodium moshatum, various alien Brassicaceae such as Raphanus and Sisymbrium with occasional rows or free standing Eucalyptus trees.

Figure 5. Vegetation near the western margin of the site, nearest to Langebaan. The vegetation in this area is previously disturbed and dominated by Zygophyllum and Lebeckia, with very few other species present indicating that it has probably been cleared in the past.

The Critical Biodiversity Areas map for the study area is depicted below in Figure 6. The site does not fall within a CBA, indicating that it is not considered to be a conservation priority in the area. This probably relates to the disturbed state of the vegetation across large parts of the site as well as the fact that it has probably historically been marked for development and was therefore purposefully excluded from the CBAs. However, these considerations aside, the site still contains some intact remnants of a listed vegetation type and may be of local significance. However, given the proximity of the site to the urban fringe of Langebaan and the fragmentary and disturbed nature of the intact vegetation of the site, it does not appear to be of high significance and some loss of habitat and landscape connectivity resulting from the development is not likely to generate any impacts of broader significance. The sensitivity map of the site is illustrated below in Figure 7, the intact parts of the site are considered to be of moderate to high sensitivity. Although it would be preferable not to develop the intact areas, this does not seem possible under the current development plans, but the Alternative closer to Langebaan is identified as the preferred alternative as the potential for disruption of landscape connectivity is lower and the amount of intact habitat that would be lost also appears to be lower.

CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

The development of the Langebaan Sports Grounds would require approximately 3 ha of land. In the context of the site, this would probably result in the loss of about 1ha of currently intact habitat. Although the affected area is listed as Saldanha Granite Strandveld which is Endangered, the site is close to the urban edge and is not within a CBA. The majority of the site is fairly disturbed and no listed species were observed at the site. As a result, the potential loss of some intact habitat is unlikely to result in any impacts of broader significance in terms of a direct loss of biodiversity within the footprint or an impact on broad-scale ecological processes as the site is not likely to be of high significance for faunal movement. In the absence of the development, it is likely that continued alien invasion will slowly erode the biodiversity value of the site and it is recommended that the woody alien vegetation is cleared from those parts of the site which are not going to be used for the development.

In terms of the two proposed alternatives, the alternative which is nearest to Langebaan is identified as the preferred alternative as it is likely to result in less overall habitat loss and the proximity to the urban fringe means that the potential for disruption of landscape connectivity is lower. No highly sensitive species or habitats were observed at the site and the loss of 1-2ha of habitat at the site is not likely to be of broader significance.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction

ACRM was appointed by Cornerstone Environmental Consultants, on behalf of the Saldanha Bay Municipality to conduct a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the proposed development of a sports field complex on Portion 12 of the Farm Olifants Kop 191 in Langebaan, in the Western Cape.

The Development proposal

The proposed development entails the following activities:

1. A rugby field (± 10 000m²) 2. A soccer field (± 5000m²) 3. A multi-purpose sports field (± 5000m²) 4. Spectator stands 5. Clubhouse, and 6. Equipment store rooms

A HIA, comprising an archaeological study and a palaeontological desk top study was requested by Heritage Western Cape (HWC) following the submission of a Notice of Intent to Develop.

HWC also requested that comments from registered conservation bodies and the local municipality must also be included in an integrated HIA report.

The HIA forms part of a Basic Assessment process that is being done by Cornerstone Environmental Consultants.

Studies have shown that Langebaan is a known sensitive archaeological and palaeontological landscape.

Aim of the HIA

The purpose of the HIA is to assess the sensitivity of archaeological and palaeontological resources on the proposed development site, to determine the potential impacts on such resources, and to avoid and/or minimise such impacts by means of management and/or mitigation measures.

Results of the study

Archaeology

A field assessment of the proposed activities was undertaken by ACRM in May 2016, in which the following observations were made:

 No pre-colonial archaeological resources were identified during the baseline study.

 A cluster of derelict demolished and ruined buildings and structures occur in the south western corner on the subject property.

ACRM, May 2016 1 Heritage Impact Assessment, proposed sports field complex and associated infrastructure, Farm 191, Langebaan

 Indications are that the proposed development will not impact on surface archaeological heritage, although some Early and Middle Stone Age resources may be uncovered during excavations for foundations and services.

 Unmarked (Khoisan) human remains may be uncovered during excavations for foundations and services.

Palaeontology

The study area is situated entirely on Q2 “heuweltjiesveld” soil, while only remnants of the Varswater Formation marine deposits occur over portions of the proposed development site. Shelly marine deposits of the Uyekraal Formation extend seawards beneath the Q2 cover sands, and crop out near the shoreline where they occur beneath the Langebaan Formation aeolianites.

Excavations between 1 and 2m below the Q2 cover sands are likely to expose shelly marine gravels and calcrete deposits. Similar deposits were encountered during bulk earthworks at the golf estate west of the subject property. While fossils are sparse in the cover sands and soils, fossil bones are occasionally discovered during construction activities where the finds are usually large bones such as antelopes and buffalo, rhino, hippo, bush pigs and elephants. The bones of an elephant were discovered in the Q2 sands on the Langebaan Country Estate.

Fossil shells and bones in the subsurface of the Q2 sands are often in an archaeological context. Bone and shell concentrations related to buried Middle Stone Age archaeological sites may occur in the underlying Langebaan Formation aeolianites and palaeosoils.

Marine deposits of the Uyekraal Formation have fossil shell fauna with abundant oysters and extinct species. Residual marine deposits of the older Varswater Formation that may exist are expected to contain a similar fauna, but with more extinct taxa. However, the marine shell fauna of the early Pliocene in the Saldanha region is poorly known as the formation is seldom exposed. Thus the potential exposure of shell beds in this eastern part of the study area above is of considerable scientific interest.

Conclusion

Archaeology

The impact significance of the proposed development of a sports field complex and associated infrastructure on the Farm Olifants Kop 191/12 Langebaan on archaeological resources is rated as being low.

Early and Middle Stone Age implements, unmarked Khoisan burials and ostrich eggshell caches, may be uncovered or exposed during excavations for foundations and bulk services.

Recommendations

Archaeology

1. No mitigation is required.

2. No monitoring is required, but the Environmental Control Officer (ECO) must be briefed by the archaeologist prior to construction activities commencing.

3. If any unmarked human remains, or ostrich eggshell caches, for example, are exposed or uncovered during excavations and earthworks, these must immediately be reported to Heritage Western Cape (Att: Mr Guy Thomas or Andrew September, 021 483 9543), or the archaeologist (Jonathan Kaplan 0823210172).

4. The above recommendations must be included in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the proposed development

Palaeontology

2. In the event of possible fossil and/or archaeological finds, the contracted archaeologist or palaeontologist must be contacted. For possible fossil finds, the palaeontologist will assess the information and liaise with the developer and the ECO and a suitable response will be established. If a significant occurrence of fossil bones is discovered a professional palaeontologist must be appointed to collect them and to record their contexts. Similarly, if fossil shell beds are uncovered a palaeontologist must be appointed to take samples and to record their contexts, the latter involving the sampling of ambient fossil content, the recording of the stratigraphy and sedimentary geometry of the exposures and the compilation of the report to Heritage Western Cape and the IZIKO S.A. Museum.

3. The above recommendation must be included in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the proposed development

Comments from registered conservation bodies and the local municipal authority

The Saldanha Bay Municipality is the applicant and is therefore likely to support the proposed development. The HIA will be distributed to local conservation bodies as part of the Basic Assessment process. Comments from the Saldanha Bay Municipality and registered conservation bodies will then be included in the final Basic Assessment Report, which will be submitted to Heritage Western Cape for comment.

2. HERITAGE LEGISLATION

The National Heritage Resources Act (Act No. 25 of 1999) makes provision for a compulsory HIA when an area exceeding 5000m² is being developed. This is to determine if the area contains heritage sites and to take the necessary steps to ensure that they are not damaged or destroyed during development. The Act provides protection for the following categories of heritage resources:

 Landscapes, cultural or natural (Section 3 (3))  Buildings or structures older than 60 years (Section 34);  Archaeological sites, palaeontological material and meteorites (Section 35);  Burial grounds and graves (Section 36);  Public monuments and memorials (Section 37);  Living heritage (including cultural tradition, oral history, performance, ritual, popular memory, skills and techniques, indigenous knowledge systems and the holistic approach to nature, society and social relationships) (Section 2 (d) (xxi)).

3. TERMS OF REFERENCE

The terms of reference for the archaeological and palaeontological study are to:

 Determine whether there are likely to be any important heritage resources that may be impacted by the proposed development;

 Indicate any constraints that would need to be taken into account in considering the development proposal;

 Recommend any mitigation action

4. DESCRIPTION OF THE RECEIVING ENVIRONMENT Farm 191/12 is located north-east of Langebaan. alongside Oostewal Road, just a few kilometers before one enters the town from the West Coast Road/R27. The Langebaan Country Estate lies immediately to the south-west of the property. The dance hall venue known as Flamingo’s is situated in the middle of the farm with its entrance off Oostewal Road. The narrow section of the property, closest to town and south-west of Flamingo’s, is demarcated for the two alternative sites that are being assessed as part of the Basic Assessment process (Figure 4-9). There are no significant landscape features such as rocky outcrops, or deflated dunes on the subject property. The western half of the farm (i.e. the preferred alternative) is undeveloped, with extremely dense thicket elements covering most of the proposed site. A windbreak of blue gum trees cuts across the site in the northwest. The proposed development site has been disturbed in the past due to agricultural activities (pieces of old irrigation pipe are visible over the property). The site is fairly level on a substrate of thick cover sand. Dune mole rat activity and burrowing are extensive. Storm water channels have been excavated diagonally across the site, originating from a cluster of ruined, derelict and demolished farm buildings and structures in the south western corner (Figures 10-13) which constitutes a highly transformed area. The Langebaan Waste Water Treatment Works is situated north of Oostewal Road, directly alongside Flamingo’s dance hall (Alternative Site 1). The site is more elevated

with dune hummock occurring on the higher slopes, covered in very dense vegetation, mostly Restio grasses. The soils on the upper slopes alongside the fence (refer to Figure 9) comprise mostly weathered quartzite sands. Dune mole rat activity is also extensive.

5. STUDY APPROACH

5.1 Method

The overall purpose of the study is to assess the sensitivity of archaeological and palaeontological resources in the affected area, and to determine potential impacts on such resources.

A survey of the proposed development site was undertaken by ACRM on 6 May 2016 (Figure 14). A literature survey was also carried out to assess the archaeological context surrounding the proposed development site.

The PIA study by Pether (2016) comprises a desktop study.

5.2 Constraints and limitations

Both site alternatives are covered in dense vegetation, resulting in poor archaeological visibility. Large portions of the property are virtually impenetrable due to thick vegetation cover.

5.3 Identification of potential risks

Early and Middle Stone Age resources and unmarked human remains may be exposed or uncovered during excavations for foundations and services.

5.4 Heritage context

A large number of archaeological sites have been recorded between Lentjiesklip and Lynch Point on the eastern shore of the Langebaan Lagoon (Hart 1997, 1998, 2001; Kaplan 1993, 1999; Parkington & Poggenpoel 1987). Studies have shown that the rocky shoreline at Langebaan acted as foci that attracted Later Stone Age (LSA) people as they offered greater opportunities for the exploitation of marine foods particularly shellfish (Hart 1998, 1997, 2001; Kaplan 2000). The archaeology suggests that the

ACRM, May 2016 12 Heritage Impact Assessment, proposed sports field complex and associated infrastructure, Farm 191, Langebaan

pattern of occupation of the Langebaan area in pre-colonial times involved people locating themselves at the coast where shellfish was consumed, as well as seals, fish, bird, tortoise and small antelope. Evidence also suggests that LSA people may have been scheduling their visits to collect lower tidal zone shellfish such as limpets and perlemoen (Hart 1991). Excavations at Lentjiesklip (Hart 1997; Parkington et al 1988) show that some of the sites in the region date to between 4000 and 1800 years ago (Hart 1997, 2001; Kaplan 2000), some of which have been found buried up to three metres below the sand body. A human burial was also uncovered during excavation of a service trench at Lentjiesklip 2 (Hart 1997).

Ephemeral sites comprising a few stone flakes and fragments of shellfish have also been documented further away from the coast on the Groot Oliphantskop Farm, north east of the proposed development site (Hart and Halkett 1992; Orton 2008).

6. FINDINGS

6.1 Archaeology

No archaeological resources were identified during the baseline field study. No deflated dunes, or rock outcrops occur over the site which might indicate the presence of some archaeological heritage. No shellfish was found associated with dune mole rat dumps, which are extensive across the proposed development site.

No historical archaeological resources such as glass, ceramics, or older building foundations were located in the south western corner of the farm, which constitutes a highly transformed landscape (refer to Figures 10-13).

Figure 14. Survey track paths (red).

ACRM, May 2016 13 6.2 Palaeontology

According to consulting palaeontologist John Pether (2016 & Appendix A), the study area is situated entirely on Q2 “heuweltjiesveld” soil that mantles the slope of the hill known as Hartbeesrug that overlooks the proposed development site in the south east. Only patchy remnants of the Varswater Formation marine deposits occur beneath the proposed site. Shelly marine deposits of the Uyekraal Formation extend seawards beneath the Q2 cover sands and crop out near the shoreline where they occur beneath the Langebaan Formation aeolianites.

Excavations for foundations and services between 1 and 2m below the covers sands, and grading of the surface in the western part of the proposed site are likely to expose shelly marine gravels and calcretes. Similar deposits were encountered during bulk earthworks at the golf estate west of the proposed site. While fossils are sparse in the cover sands and soils, fossil bones, such as antelopes and buffalo, rhino, hippo, bush pigs and elephants, are occasionally discovered during construction activities. The bones of an elephant were discovered in the Q2 sands on the Langebaan Country Estate.

Marine deposits of the Uyekraal Formation have fossil shell fauna with abundant oysters and extinct species typical of the Pliocene marine deposits of Namaqualand. Residual marine deposits of the older Varswater Formation that may exist are expected to contain a similar fauna, but with more extinct taxa. However, the marine shell fauna of the early Pliocene in the Saldanha region is poorly known as the formation is seldom exposed. Thus the potential exposure of shell beds in this eastern part of the study area above is of considerable scientific interest.

7. CONCLUSION

7.1 Archaeology

Indications are that the proposed development of a sports field complex on Farm 191/12 will not impact on any important archaeological heritage.

Early and Middle Stone Age implements and unmarked Khoisan burials may be uncovered or exposed during bulk earthworks and excavations for services.

The impact significance of the proposed development on archaeological resources is assessed as LOW and therefore, there are no objections to the authorization of the proposed development.

7.2 Palaeontology

General construction activities for foundations and services, and grading of the playing fields, will mainly affect the Q2 cover sands, but may intersect underlying Langebaan Formation calcreted aeolianites and Pliocene shelly beds.

8. RECOMMENDATIONS

With regard to the proposed development of a sports field complete on the Farm Groot Olifants Kop 191/12 in Langebaan, the following recommendations are made.

8.1 Archaeology

1. No mitigation is required.

2. No monitoring is required, but the Environmental Control Officer (ECO) must be briefed by the archaeologist prior to construction activities commencing.

3. If any unmarked human remains, or ostrich eggshell caches, for example, are exposed or uncovered during excavations, these must immediately be reported to Heritage Western Cape (Att: Mr Guy Thomas or Andrew September, 021 483 9543), or the archaeologist (Jonathan Kaplan 0823210172).

4. The above recommendations must be included in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the proposed development

8.2 Palaeontology

1. On-site personnel must be alerted to the occurrence of fossil bones. The Environmental Control Officer (ECO) and construction supervisor must inform staff of the need to watch for potential fossil occurrences. Appendices 2 and 3 outline monitoring by construction personnel and general Fossil Find Procedures

3. The above recommendation must be included in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the proposed development

Traffic Study Oostewal Road Upgrade: Langebaan Sports Complex – Addendum to Transport Impact Assessment

1. Background In 2013 Nadeson Consulting was appointed by Saldanha Bay Municipality (SBM) to do the detail design for the upgrade of Oostewal Road in Langebaan, and Sturgeon Consulting was appointed as a sub‐consultant to prepare a Transport Impact Assessment (TIA). The TIA was undertaken to assess the impact the existing, planned and future development in the greater Langebaan area for the next 20 years (2033) would have on the surrounding road network in terms of capacity, access and operation. Since 2014, the SBM proposes to develop a Sports Complex on Portion 12 of the Farm Olifants Kop No. 191, Langebaan. It has therefore been necessary to update the TIA to reflect the changes. It is therefore recommended that this report be read as an addendum to the TIA for Oostewal Road; “Transport Impact Assessment for Oostewal Road Upgrade Langebaan, Western Cape, March 2014”. Sturgeon Consulting, acting as transport consultants, prepared the original TIA and has been retained as transport consultants to revisit the traffic and transportation concerns for both the existing and future intersection operations surrounding the proposed site. This addendum report covers the traffic analysis of the sports complex with the development of the greater Langebaan area.

2. Scope of Work This report examines the traffic implications of the sports complex development, taking into account the planned and future Reference: Figure 1 developments of the greater Langebaan area and their impact on the surrounding road network. The focus area of this study is a portion of Portion 12 of Farm Olifants Kop No. 191 to the southwest of the Oostewal Road/MR559 intersection. The Scope of Works is to amend the TIA that was undertaken for Oostewal Road to incorporate the proposed sports complex and to take both alternatives into consideration and make recommendations of which of the two sites are best suited in terms of accessibility. Traffic data for the existing traffic situation on the road network has been obtained by means of peak hour intersection counts along Oostewal Road between the MR559 and Bree Street, during the Friday PM and Saturday Midday peak hours. The data has been consolidated into a future scenario i.e. long term (2033) which take into account all the planned and future developments in the Langebaan area. The impact of the additional traffic generated by all the developments on the intersections along Oostewal Road has been

assessed using computerised traffic analysis techniques and improvements to critical intersections have been suggested where necessary.

3. Proposed Development The Sports Complex will consist of: Reference: Figure 2  A rugby field of ±10 000m2;  A soccer field of ±7 000m2;  Multi‐purpose sports field of ±5 000m2;  Spectator stands next to each sports field (for a total of ±3 000 spectators);  A clubhouse; and  Equipment store rooms. Two location alternatives on Portion 12 of Farm 191 have been proposed for the Sports Complex. These two areas are situated next to each other, between Flamingo’s and the Langebaan Country Estate. Refer to Figure 2 for the Alternative Site Plans for the proposed development.

4. Existing Access Access to both alternatives are via two existing gravel roads off Oostewal Road. The new site access point for each alternative will be discussed later in Section 13.

5. Existing Road Network Oostewal Road (MR233): Class 3 secondary arterial in an intermediate development environment and is a proclaimed Main Road (MR233) up to KM12.84. It is a two‐lane undivided road, which extends from the R27 (TR77/1) in the northeast to Sunbird Avenue in the south. Posted speed limit in the vicinity of the proposed site is 80km/h.

6. Future Road Planning A future extension of Bree Street linking to Meeuwklip and Myburgh Park neighbourhoods is proposed to join up with Sunbird Avenue. For the purposes of this report, it has been assumed that this link will be constructed by 2033. Langebaan is slowly becoming more than just a holiday town as

STUR0081 OOSTEWAL ROAD TIA | FINAL | JUNE 2016 Sports Complex ‐ TIA Addendum_Final_June_2016 Page 2

Sturgeon Consulting Oostewal Road Upgrade Transport Impact Study

more and more people are starting to make it their permanent home. Local business and industry are slowly growing and developing permanent employment opportunities in the area. This trend will result in a greater demand for movement not only during the holiday periods, but throughout the year. The existing road based problems in Langebaan are caused by amongst others the following:

 High seasonal demand flows (Easter and Christmas holidays).

 Growth in population and the associated residential developments.

 Limited alternative routes for the major routes in the town. Trips are mainly confined to Oostewal Road, Jon Olafsson Road (road to Mykonos) and the Proclaimed Main Road 559.

 Limited parking and the ability of the network to absorb vehicles at the trip destinations.

 Insufficient network and facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. To address these issues the following should be considered:

 There will always be seasonal demand, but as Langebaan grows the relative difference between the seasonal peaks and the average daily peaks will reduce.

 The growth of Langebaan must be planned and managed appropriately.

 A pedestrian and bicycle plan for the town must be developed with a realistic implementation schedule. Adequate parking facilities must be developed near major traffic generators such as the main beach and the shopping centres along Oostewal Road.

7. Scenarios Analysed 2013 Existing Traffic Conditions 2033 Total Traffic Conditions plus all Development Intersection analyses were done using SIDRA 7 Intersection software which is for use as an aid for design and evaluation of individual intersections and networks of intersections.

8. Study Intersections Based on our experience with similar traffic studies, the anticipated traffic impact on the surrounding road network and its location within the wider road network, the following intersections were included in the scope of the study: 1. Oostewal Road/MR559 2. Oostewal Road/Goedehoop Street/Spilbergen Street 3. Oostewal Road/Jan Olofsson Road

STUR0081 OOSTEWAL ROAD TIA | FINAL | JUNE 2016 Sports Complex ‐ TIA Addendum_Final_June_2016 Page 3

4. Oostewal Road/Antonion Sieni Street 5. Oostewal Road/Sleigh Street 6. Oostewal Road/Padrao Street 7. Oostewal Road/Bree Street The following future intersection was also analysed: 8. Oostewal Road/New Sports Complex Access

9. Existing Traffic Peak period traffic counts were conducted as part of the original TIA Operations during the Friday PM and Saturday morning peak periods for All Vehicles in August 2013. As in the 2014 TIA, the weekday PM peak References: Figure 3, has been used to test the capacity constraints in this report. Figure Table 1 3 depicts the existing 2013 PM peak hour traffic conditions. This figure shows the full extent of the surrounding road network. Analysis of the existing intersections was carried out using SIDRA 6 Intersection software programme to determine the levels of service at the key intersections. Details of the intersection PM peak hour analysis are shown in Table 1. From the analysis it is obvious that during the average daily peak hour, all study intersections operate at acceptable levels of service.

10. Trip Generation The assumption has been made that the urban development areas Reference: Table 2 will be fully developed by 2033. Therefore, the traffic flow conditions will be considered for the year 2033 for the average weekday peak hour. The trip generation rates as stated in the 2014 TIA Report are still relevant. The trip generation rate for a Sports Stadium has been obtained from the South African Trip Data Manual, September 2013 published by the Committee of Transport Officials (COTO) and has been used to estimate the traffic that will be generated by the proposed Sports Complex development. As in the 2014 TIA Report, the total trips generated have been reduced by 10% to account for internal trips and by 15% to account for possible public transport trips. The recommended peak hour trip generation rate for a Sports Stadium is:

 150 trips/1000 seats (PM 90:10)

11. Development Trips The total peak hour trips likely to be generated by the sports Reference: Figure 4 and complex development in the PM peak hour is: Table 3  338 total PM trips (304 inbound 34 outbound) The above trip rates together with the associated land use and the number of peak hour trips that would be generated by the future development for the Langebaan area are summarised in Table 3. The total peak hour trips for the greater Langebaan development area is:

STUR0081 OOSTEWAL ROAD TIA | FINAL | JUNE 2016 Sports Complex ‐ TIA Addendum_Final_June_2016 Page 4

Sturgeon Consulting Oostewal Road Upgrade Transport Impact Study

 5 316 Total PM Trips (3 023 inbound 2 293 outbound)

12. Trip Distribution The development traffic for the proposed sports complex development has been distributed on the surrounding road network Reference: Figure 5 taking the following into account:  Present traffic conditions  The nature of the development being a sports complex The distribution for the PM peak hour used is as follows:  30% to/from the north along MR559  10% to/from the east via R27  50% to/from the south along Oostewal Road  10% to/from the north along Jan Olofsson Road The resultant development trips were assigned to the analysed intersections as shown in Figure 5 and added to the future (2033) traffic scenario.

13. Site Access Alternative 1: Access to the proposed development will be off Oostewal Road via the existing gravel access to Flamingo’s, References: Figures 6 – 9 approximately 360m west of MR559. The recommended access spacing according to the Western Cape Government’s Road Access Guidelines (RAG) along Class 3 roads in an intermediate environment for an equivalent side road/median opening is 120m and for a signalised intersection is 375m. Should in the future the MR559 intersection becomes signalised, the access spacing will be acceptable. The available shoulder sight distance (SSD) at this access to the east is approximately 370m and to the west approximately 300m, which is sufficient to ensure the access operates safely. The recommended SSD along a two‐lane road with a posted speed of 80km/h is at least 155m for passenger cars and 240m for single unit (SU) trucks as recommended in the Urban Transport Guidelines (UTG1, Figure 10.2). Alternative 2: Access to Alternative 2 will be off Oostewal Road via an existing gravel access to the Langebaan Country Estate Contractors Entrance and other buildings, approximately 245m east of the main entrance to the Langebaan Country Estate (Goedehoop St/Spilbergen St). This access satisfies the minimum intersection spacing for an equivalent side road/median opening. The available SSD at this access to the east is at least 400m and to the west it is in excess of 500m. Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the available SSD from each of the access locations for Alternative 1 and Alternative 2, respectively. Figure 8 and Figure 9 shows the proposed site access for both alternatives. Both access locations are favourable from a traffic safety

STUR0081 OOSTEWAL ROAD TIA | FINAL | JUNE 2016 Sports Complex ‐ TIA Addendum_Final_June_2016 Page 5

Sturgeon Consulting Oostewal Road Upgrade Transport Impact Study

perspective, however we would recommend that Alternative 1 is the preferred location as it is further away from the adjacent intersection and will not impact on the adjacent residential area as Alternative 2 might. Access Control: The SBM have indicated that the Sports Complex entrance will have a gate/boom access control with a two‐lane cross section (one lane in, one lane out). The required stacking space is commented on in Section 15. The capacity of the proposed access onto Oostewal Road was tested using SIDRA. The analysis is discussed in Section 14.

14. Future Traffic Impact The upgrades listed in the 2014 TIA Report are still relevant and the upgrades required to accommodate the growth in the development References: Figure 5, traffic from 2013 to 2033 have been applied in this analysis. Table 4 The MR559/Oostewal Road intersection should only be upgraded and signalised once the mixed use business and industrial development in the vicinity of the intersection proceeds and the extension of MR559 is required for access as well as the warrants for signalisation have been met. The analysis of this intersection for the 2033 scenario has not been undertaken as it falls outside the study area of the 2014 TIA. The development trips were added to the year 2033 future traffic volumes to determine the year 2033 total traffic conditions at the study intersections for the PM peak hour. Intersections with capacity constraints:  Jon Olofsson/Oostewal Road intersection o Issue: Oostewal SWB approach is expected to exceed capacity (v/c>1) and operates at LOS F. o Mitigation: Widen SWB approach to provide a left turn lane. o Operations with mitigation: Overall and SWB approach level of service (LOS) C.  Antonio Sieni Street/Oostewal Road o Issue: Oostewal NB and Antonio Sieni EB approaches are expected to exceed capacity (v/c>1) and operate at LOS F. o Mitigation: Widen NB and EB approach to provide left turn lanes. o Operations with mitigation: LOS C for both approaches.  Bree Street/Oostewal Road o Issue: Bree EB approach is expected to exceed capacity (v/c>1) and operate at LOS F. o Mitigation: Widen EB approach to provide a left turn lane. o Operations with mitigation: LOS C for the EB approach. Oostewal Road/Sports Complex This intersection is expected to operate overall at acceptable levels

STUR0081 OOSTEWAL ROAD TIA | FINAL | JUNE 2016 Sports Complex ‐ TIA Addendum_Final_June_2016 Page 6

Sturgeon Consulting Oostewal Road Upgrade Transport Impact Study

of service. However, the Sports Complex NB right turn is expected to operate at unacceptable levels of service (LOS F), which is partly due to the high through volumes expected along Oostewal Road. In reality, the right turn movement should be able to take acceptable gaps in the traffic. It is suggested that turning lanes be implemented on Oostewal Road at this intersection from a safety perspective. The results of the 2033 intersection analysis are summarised in Table 4. The detailed analyses are available on request.

15. Queue Analysis A queue analysis was conducted for the access on Oostewal Road using the highest expected inbound traffic flow to determine the Reference: Table 5 maximum theoretical delay at the access. It is proposed that a manned boom access will be in operation during sports events. An average service rate of 200 vehicles per hour has been used for analysis to allow for this type of access control. The peak inbound volume is 182 vph for the proposed development during the PM peak hour. It is recommended that a 95th percentile queue length be used as applicable to access on Class 1 to 4 roads to determine the theoretical required stacking at the access. The 95th percentile queue length is the vehicle queue length that will only be exceeded 5 times out of a 100. Based on the analysis results shown in Table 5, the 95th percentile queue requires a minimum of 36m (6m per vehicle) to be provided between the gate/boom and the edge of Oostewal Road. The entry lane width must also allow for unimpeded access for emergency and service vehicles. The exit lane should also be available for emergencies depending on the peak direction of flow at the time of the incident. A minimum height clearance of 4.2m should also be provided to allow for emergency and service vehicles.

16. Parking Requirements The parking provision for the proposed development should satisfy the requirements according to the NDoT Parking Standards PG 3/85, November 1985 published by the Department of Transport. The standard parking ratio for a sports complex/stadium is 0.25 spaces/seat, which means for a stadium that can cater for a maximum of 3000 spectators/seats, parking must be provided for a minimum of 750 cars. However, the municipality have indicated that a large portion of the community will walk or take public transport to the sports complex and a provision of 100 parking bays will be provided on‐site, which the SBM is satisfied will be sufficient. The standard width of a parking bay is 2.5m with a 7.0m aisle width (two‐way).

17. Non‐Motorised NMT integration is providing infrastructure that supports walking Transport (NMT) and cycling and provides individuals with an alternative and sustainable choice of travel. Cycle facilities can be classified as illustrated below:

STUR0081 OOSTEWAL ROAD TIA | FINAL | JUNE 2016 Sports Complex ‐ TIA Addendum_Final_June_2016 Page 7

Sturgeon Consulting Oostewal Road Upgrade Transport Impact Study

The proposed NMT facilities listed in the 2014 TIA Report as part of the Oostewal Road upgrade, which is currently underway are being implemented. A summary of the NMT improvements along Oostewal Road are listed below:  Class 2 facility on north‐western side between Main Road 559 & LCE.  3m shared path on north‐western side between LCE & Jon Olofsson  Widen existing sidewalk to 3m shared path on western side and 2m sidewalk on eastern side between Jon Olofsson & Antonio Sieni.  3m shared path on western side and 2m sidewalk on eastern side between Antonio Sieni & Sleigh.  3m shared path on western side and 1.8‐2m sidewalk on eastern side between Sleigh & Padrao.  3m shared path on western side and 2m sidewalk on eastern side between Padrao & Bree.  1.5m Class 3 facility and 1.8m sidewalk on both sides between Bree & Sunbird.  Introduction of dropped kerbs and bubble paving at all crossing points to provide for universal access.  Introduction of pedestrian crossings at all crossing points. The sidewalk along the southern edge of Oostewal Road must extend the length of the frontage of the site. No further improvements are suggested at such time, as the proposed sidewalk will be sufficient for the purpose of pedestrians walking to and from the sports complex.

Sturgeon Consulting Oostewal Road Upgrade Transport Impact Study

18. Public Transport There appear to be no formal public transport facilities operating along Oostewal Road although some minibus taxis were observed travelling along this route, which stopped to pick up and drop off passengers in the gravel areas. As mentioned in the previous 2014 TIA Report, it is recommended that the Municipality start concentrating seriously on the provision of scheduled public transport services and facilities to avoid any future widening of Oostewal Road. As part of the Oostewal Road Upgrade project currently underway, public transport embayments/stops will be implemented along Oostewal Road approximately 500m apart and located downstream of an intersection. It will be necessary to implement a public transport stop/embayment in the vicinity of the Sports Complex for Alternative 1.

19. Conclusions & This report investigates the expected transport related impacts of Recommendations the Sports Complex development on a portion of Portion 12 of Farm 191 in Langebaan combined with the future and planned developments in the greater Langebaan area. The analysis evaluates bot the existing year 2013 and the future year 2033 design hour conditions. The findings and recommendations of this report can be summarised as follows:  All the study intersections are currently operating at acceptable levels of service during the normal weekday PM peak hour, however during the holiday seasons some of the intersections experience high levels of demand and are close to or exceeding capacity.  The weekday PM peak hour has been used in the analysis as the typical average weekday peak hour.  The proposed Sports Complex is estimated to generate approximately 338 new trips during the weekday PM peak hour.  Two alternative sites have been proposed for the location of the Sports Complex and the preferred site is Alternative 1 due to it being further away from the adjacent intersection and will have less of an impact on the adjacent residential area.  Alternative 2 is less favourable, but not excluded for implementation, as this is closer to the adjacent intersection and will have a greater impact, in terms of traffic volumes, on the adjacent residential area.  Access to Alternative 1 is via an existing gravel road approximately 360m west of the MR559 intersection and conforms to the minimum spacing requirements along Oostewal Road as well as having sufficient SSD in both directions. This new access will have a two‐lane cross section (one lane in, one lane out).  The Oostewal Road/Sports Complex intersection is recommended to have turning lanes as well as a separate

STUR0081 OOSTEWAL ROAD TIA | FINAL | JUNE 2016 Sports Complex ‐ TIA Addendum_Final_June_2016 Page 9

Sturgeon Consulting Oostewal Road Upgrade Transport Impact Study

NB right turn lane. Overall, this intersection will operate satisfactorily.  The future developments proposed for the Langebaan area are estimated to generate approximately 5 316 new trips during the average weekday peak hour. This scenario reflects if all the spatial proposals materialise as detailed in the Saldanha Bay Municipality Spatial Development Framework (Feb 2011) by the year 2033.  Under the 2033 total traffic conditions, all the study intersections are forecast to operate at unacceptable levels of service (LOS F) during the average weekday peak hour.  The road network can accommodate the proposed development provided the following improvements are in place, in addition to the upgrades listed in the 2014 TIA Report:  Jon Olofsson/Oostewal Road o Add separate SWB left turn lane  Antonio Sieni Street/Oostewal Road o Add separate NB and EB left turn lanes  Bree Street/Oostewal Road o Add separate EB left turn lane  The proposed Sports Complex will provide 100 parking bays on‐site.  Stacking space for approximately 6 vehicles (±36m) is required at the entrance to the Sports Complex.  A large portion of the community attracted to the Sports Complex will access the site by non‐motorised transport (NMT) modes i.e. on foot or by bicycle.  Implement the accommodation of pedestrians on the sidewalks along the site frontage.  Proposed public transport embayments/stops must be provided in the vicinity of the Sports Complex. This report has shown that the proposed sports complex can be accommodated by the adjacent transport network, provided the recommendations presented in the report are implemented. From a traffic engineering perspective, the application for this development is supported.
