Before discussing the agenda items, the Chairman reminded Members to declare interests in accordance with the Standing Orders of the Kowloon City District Council (Standing Orders). If Members’ property rights, occupation or investment etc. involved conflict of interest with the items to be discussed later, they should make a declaration before the discussion so that he would consider if the members 7 concerned should withdraw from the discussion or voting. In addition, according to Order 36(2) of the Standing Orders, the quorum for the committee meetings was half the number of committee members. As HDPC had 24 members, once there were less than 12 members present at the meeting, the Chairman would adjourn the discussion immediately. The Feasibility Study of the Planning and Urban Design Review for Developments at Kai Tak Runway Tip (Paper No. 01/20) 3. Ms HUI Ka-lam, Town Planning Director of AECOM, introduced the Paper with the main points as follows: (i) The feasibility study was to review the planning, urban design and development proposals for the Kai Tak Runway Tip (KTRT) area, thus providing guidelines for the development of the Tourist Node site and the surrounding open spaces and achieving multiple effects and synergy with the nearby Kai Tak Cruise Terminal with a view of turning KTRT into an attractive spot. (ii) The feasibility study took into account of the merits of the awarded and shortlisted schemes of the Kai Tak Fantasy International Ideas Competition, including the water-related concepts from Healthy Cities, that is, developing a tortuous eco-shoreline along the typhoon shelter and incorporating a water channel. However, in consideration of the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance and other factors, the final proposal would not alter the shoreline to a substantial extent. Instead, the distinctive concepts of cityscape and urban design would be highlighted. (iii) The design aimed to combine the existing Kai Tak Runway Park (KTRP) Phase 1 with the proposed KTRP Phase 2 and develop the place into an aviation-themed park. KTRP Phase 2 would construct a River Valley with facilities including a harbour with interactive water landscape features, a 45-metre setback area with a river park and an entry plaza themed on convergence, forming a water channel extending to Kai Tak Waterfront Promenade. 8 (iv) The River Valley would provide a water recreation area and a facility building would be built in the vicinity. The architectural design of the building would resemble the Air Traffic Control Tower of Ex-Kai Tak Airport. An area for exhibiting old items from the former airport, toilets, dining area and facilities related to recreational water activities would be provided inside. (v) The design proposal would echo with the general layout and the piazza could enhance air ventilation, visual compatibility and connection between space and human. A 13-kilometre Greenway would also be provided at KTRT for co-use by pedestrians and bicycles. (vi) Shing Fung Road was currently open and its Landscaped Platform could link the Tourist Node site with Kai Tak Cruise Terminal. A public transport interchange with buses and minibuses would be provided at the tip of Shing Fung Road and parking spaces would be offered in the basement of KTRT behind Shing Fung Road for the use of vehicles like tourist coaches. Moreover, the at-grade level was vehicle-free so that pedestrians could walk freely. (vii) To strengthen the aviation theme, KTRP Phase 1 would maintain the permanent exhibition of the retired aircraft of the Government Flying Service and it was proposed that a Take-off Lawn facing Victoria Harbour and a large Take-off Swing be provided at KTRP so as to let people experience a simulated take-off.
