Yours faithfully Wayne Smith Zenith Planning Consultants Ltd Principal | Director BPlan | BSocSci | MNZPI [email protected] mob: +64 (0) 21 202 3898 PLANNING ASSESSMENT FOR A RESOURCE CONSENT APPLICATION TO SUBDIVIDE: This application is made by Carol and Freddy Osler-Weppenaar and is to subdivide a property located at 54 Puketona Road (State Highway 11), Paihia. 1.0 Application Description 1.1 The proposal is to subdivide Te Ti 7A (being 6741m2 in area) to create two lots: • Lot 1 being 600m2 and occupied by an existing dwelling; and, • Lot 2 being 6141m2 and which is currently occupied by Action World - a land based tourism operation. The application site is located within the Coastal Residential zone under the Far North District Plan. There is an Outstanding Landscape notation located at the rear of the property and this area contains the existing dwelling which was consented under its own resource consent and under the current rules which apply. 1.2 The application site has reticulated wastewater available and therefore the minimum lot size for sewered lots within the Coastal Residential zone applies and is detailed within Table 13.7.2.1(x) of the Far North District Plan. Coastal Residential Controlled Standard The minimum lot size is 800m2. Discretionary The minimum lot size is 600m2. Outstanding Landscape Under Table 13.7.2.1(xix) any lot which contains an Outstanding Landscape notation requires further consideration. With the lot being zoned Coastal Residential, the minimum lot size is required to be the same as the Discretionary threshold i.e. a minimum lot size of 600m2. 1.3 The proposed lot sizes are 600m2 and 6141m2 respectively and can meet the discretionary thresholds as detailed above. 1.4 Therefore, the application is assessed as being a Discretionary Activity. 2.0 Application site and background 2.1 The application site is located at 54 Puketona Road, Paihia. The property is currently used as a tourism operation “Action World” and operates daily within the summer period and periodically throughout the remainder of the year. The operation also hosts events for organisations and groups. In addition to the park, the site also contains an existing residential dwelling occupied by the applicant. Resource consent applications have secured both the tourism operation (commercial operation in a Coastal Residential zone) and also a residential dwelling (being a building located within an Outstanding Landscape). 2.2 The site is mostly flat and where not occupied by Action World activities, is grassed or surfaced (with an all-weather surface). The rear portion of the site rises up to the existing dwelling which is at the highest point of the lot and is in regenerating Manuka. Action World contains a number of different activities for visitors which provides physical and mental challenges for participants of all ages. 2.3 The general character of the area is a mixture of lot sizes which includes housing within bush clad slopes and a number of adjoining and nearby commercial activities. This photo is of Action World. The car park located at the bottom of the photo and the dwelling located above the concreted access. 2.4 The existing title has no notations or legal documents such as Section 221 Consent Notices or Covenants which affect or impact on the ability to develop the site. Future development will therefore be subject to rules detailed within the Far North District Plan and also any requirements or conditions relevant to existing resource consents. In considering the future development of the larger lot there is significant capacity for the site particularly given the size of the property and the development standards which currently apply to the site. 2.5 The access to the proposed Lot 2 and the existing dwelling will be via the existing access track which passes through the middle of proposed Lot 1. The formation is grassed and all weather with a firm base course and which leads to the concreted section of driveway located on the steeper part of the driveway (located along the eastern boundary), and which leads up to the existing dwelling. This photo illustrates the right hand turn into the site and a general layout of the entrance. The entrance and carpark for Action World. Action World layout. The existing access to the concrete driveway is through the centre of the park between the different activities. 2.6 The site is located within the Coastal Residential Zone which is applied to and provides for areas of intensive development within the coastal environment. The zoning is generally applied to established urban areas. The zone enables development but also strives to maintain the natural coastal character of the area. The application site adjoins the General Coastal zone to the south and west which has significant controls on development. 2.7 The upper portion of the site (where the existing dwelling is located) enjoys views of the coastal marine area and the surrounding valley. The flatter section of the site is below the level of Puketona Road and while the park equipment is visible from public vantage points, this site is partially screened by roadside vegetation. 2.8 The Northland Regional Council as part of their Regional Policy Statement review process has re-assessed the “coastal environment” with a detailed review of the whole of the northland region. This assessment has modified the extent of the coastal environment and developed updated maps. This re-assessment has resulted in the application site falling outside of what is considered to be “the coastal environment” and therefore the Regional Planning (and higher order documents such as the NZCPS) and related considerations (insofar as coastal requirements) are considered to be no longer applicable. The district plan review which is to commence toward the end of 2020 will likely reflect this change with modifications likely for this area based on this completed review and to match current uses and activities on the application site and for those commercial activities which are located to the east of the site. 2.9 The application site is located within a “Kiwi Present” area. The applicant owns two small dogs and has always had dogs within the site. It is considered that an advice note is more than adequate in this circumstance advising that Kiwi may be present within the immediate area. The use of an advice note is particularly relevant given the Coastal Residential zoning. Details of what this advice notice could convey is detailed later within this assessment. 3.0 DISTRICT PLAN RULES Subdivision 3.1 A resource consent application for subdivision is required to be assessed under Section 13 of the Far North District Plan. This section not only provides the minimum lot size requirements but also other standards and information requirements which need to be satisfied. 3.2 Table 13.7.2.1(x) Lot Size – The minimum lot sizes required for each lot within the Coastal Residential Zone. The district plan describes the zone as The creation of this zone recognises the need and demand which exists for residential development on the coast. It also recognises that development can have adverse effects on the coastal environment. These effects are managed both through the areal extent of the zone and the rules which it contains. The Coastal Residential Zone provides for the most intensive development of all the zones in the coastal environment. It is applied in areas where an urban residential style and scale of development exists now. It enables the further development of these areas in a way which retains, as far as possible, the natural character of the coastal environment. The Coastal Residential Zone is similar to the Residential Zone but has slightly different environmental standards reflecting the character of the small coastal settlements to which it is applied. The proposed lots are consistent with the discretionary threshold with both lots being a minimum of 600m2. The proposed lot sizes are generally comparable to those lots surrounding the site noting that the controlled lot size for the zone is 800m2. The Outstanding Landscape notation which applies to a section of the site is also required to meet the 600m2 minimum lot size. The effects on this notation have already been considered when the existing dwelling (located within proposed Lot 2) was developed. The allotment configuration does not affect the existing resource consent decision or the reasons for this consent. The sensitivity of the site is somewhat negated by surrounding commercial activities (within the site and the accommodation related activities adjacent) and further afield the Commercially zoned properties between the site and coastline and which includes the Caltex Service Station, a Tyre shop, a mechanical repair business, and the Countdown supermarket.

    BAY OF ISLANDS PLANNING LIMITED PO Box 795 Kerikeri Phone [09] 407 5253; Email – [email protected] District Services Department Far North District Council John Butler Centre Kerikeri Attention: Ms Louise Wilson 1 August 2019 Dear Louise, Re: Proposed Subdivision at 19 Lily Pond Lane, Haruru Our client Nicola Cadenhead seeks resource consent to subdivide her property at 19 Lily Pond Lane in Haruru. The subdivision has been assessed as a Non-Complying Activity however, while this is the case it is concluded that the effect of undertaking this subdivision will be no more than minor on the surrounding environment. A Landuse consent is also required for the existing Lily Pond toilet block located on the Lily Pond Council Reserve which will continue to encroach on the permitted 10m setback standard. Given that we were unable to find any resource consent for setback on the Council Reserve and given that we will be topping up this area we have opted to pay for the standard subdivision application fee rather than the combined Subdivision and Landuse application fee. This consent will ensure that the existing toilet block is covered for the setback from boundaries breach. No assessment of any other rules pertaining to the location of these facilities have been undertaken. Please note that Appendix F has not been attached electronically to this application. We request that this appendix does not go onto any public forum given the personal medical details included within this letter. This Appendix will be provided in hard copy to Councils John Butler Centre at our earliest convenience.

Council received mixed responses from submitters on the draft proposal to increase controls on sewage discharges from vessels. Very few submitters commented on the draft Marina Development Zones or the related provisions. Many submitters were generally supportive of the aquaculture provisions. The mangrove provisions attracted a lot of feedback. There were polarised responses ranging from seeking more permissive mangrove removal rules, to wanting most mangrove removal to be prohibited. However submitters were generally supportive of draft provisions when identifying with an operational need to manage mangroves in connection with maintaining infrastructure, services and business activities e.g. managing road sight lines and clearing blocked stormwater channels. Marine Pest provisions were in general supported, however some concerns were raised about the cost of compliance in particular the threshold for in-water cleaning and practicality of the permitted locations.
