Gerald R Christie

If the existing school grounds can be proven to adapt at reasonable cost to forecast rolls such that the land is not needed, and if some of the land goes towards pedestrian access to trains and Meadowbank - so local residents get something out of it - then I will have no objections.

4/1 (28k)

G R Graham and L A Newman

Be accepted.

5/1 (343k)

Helen M Southall

Decline in its entirety. 7 John Rymer Place should remain 6A and only a house be built on it.

7/1 (377k)

Fabio M Gracez

Decline in its entirety.

The council fully decline the application based on the covenants in place and that this remain residential zoned until at least the year 2016 as agreed by the residents living in John Rymer.

8/1 (520k)

Ruth A Eyres

Wish the Council to decline the whole of Proposed Plan Modification 219.

9/2 (1414k)

L Eyres and RA Eyres and Lovegrove Trustee Company

Decline the whole of the Proposed Plan Modification 219.

12/1 (950k)

Dorothy P Gubb

Decline in its entirety. Ideally, the land on which the development is proposed should be returned to "Education" classification and only a much modified plan of half the height and size of that plan could be considered by residents.

13/3 (286k)

Gael W Forbes

The land should be kept for educational use. When Selwyn College becomes popular again they will need this land for educational purposes.

15/1 (965k)

No to use of 7 John Rymer as a road.

No to the size of the construction.

17/1 (981k)

Joan Fogerty

18/1 (859k)

Mark A Glacez

Decline in its entirety both the application for rezoning 7 John Rymer and 223 Kohimarama Rd be declined based on the residents of John Rymer and their expectations of a promise that was to last until the year 2016. i.e.: the section to be used for a house.

19/2 (885k)

Teresa Gracez

Decline the application to rezone 7 John Rymer Place and 223 Kohimarama Road based on the covenants against 7 John Rymer Place. Also Decline rezoning of 223 Kohimarama Road because the corner of Allum and
 Kohimarama Road is at its capacity during peak hours as far as traffic goes. Further chaos at the intersection will just increase the risk to St Thomas and Selwyn School children.

20/1 (2487k)

Selwyn College Board of Trustees

We seek decision from council: that Private Plan Modification No. 219 be rejected or

20/2 (2487k)

21/2 (1451k)

Paul Marquart

Or, allow zone change to 6A for residential housing in keeping with the surrounding area.

1. Limit building heights to residential heights in keeping with surrounding area or reduce maximum height to 12 metres with no exceptions above that height.

21/3 (1451k)

Require applicant to submit a firm plan for onsite roading which is acceptable in terms of effect on adjoining neighbours homes with regard to loss of both privacy and property value.

21/4 (1451k)

Paul Marquart

Require the applicant to submit a more detailed and better proposal for storm water, with regard to danger to adjoining homes.

21/5 (1451k)

Paul Marquart

Refuse the applicant's proposal to use the existing sewerage system in John Rymer Place and require they build a separate onsite system specifically for the proposed development.

21/6 (1451k)

Paul Marquart

Refuse the applicant's proposed density and require much reduced density limiting the number of residents and service people to a maximum of 200 in total.

21/7 (1451k)

Paul Marquart

Require the applicant to submit a better and more detailed plan to prevent loss of sunlight to adjoining houses on the south boundary.

Uphold the intention of the covenant covering all properties in John Rymer Place.

22/1 (759k)

Colleen A Roberts

Decline in its entirety.
The land should remain for educational purposes not retirement village or health reasons.

23/1 (1452k)

Dermot O'Brien

Decline. Seek not to change the zoning but to stay with some form of educational use of the land.

24/1 (564k)

Dr Brendan R Whyte

Decline in its entirety.

The land will be needed by the school in the near future when enrolment numbers climb again.

24/2 (564k)

Dr Brendan R Whyte

Ideally the land should be returned to the school, and walkways make to connect the Gowing Drive/Tahapa Crescent areas with Thatcher St/Kohimarama Roads both as access for school students and for the general public.

Decline in its entirety. This area was originally zoned for schooling and should either be used as such or it should be a residential 6A.

31/2 (1228k)

Dean W Boddington

I urge the members of council to consider this matter with their consciences rather than to look at technicalities. This development is not in the best interests of the Kohimarama community and in particular, it will have profound adverse effects on the residents of John Rymer Place.

33/1 (938k)

The St Johns College Trust Board

We seek the following decision from Auckland City Council - that the proposed Private Plan Change 219 be declined.

33/2 (938k)

The St Johns College Trust Board

OR - that alternative access be provided directly from 223 Kohimarama Road, rather than the proposed access from John Rymer Place

33/3 (938k)

The St Johns College Trust Board

Any other consequential relief that will give effect to the concerns raised by the submitters.

This submission opposes Plan Modification 219 in its current form.

38/2 (2523k)

Lee A Johnson

This submission seeks amendments as an alternative to its decline.

38/3 (2523k)

Lee A Johnson

The following decisions are sought:

1. No 7 John Rymer Place should not be used for vehicular access to the principal site (223 Kohimarama Road)

38/4 (2523k)

Lee A Johnson

The permitted activities for the site should be more specific and certain activities should not be permitted.

38/5 (2523k)

Lee A Johnson

The development controls should be closely aligned with the predominant medium intensity zoning in the area (Residential 6) to ensure sympathetic development with the surrounding neighbourhood.

38/6 (2523k)

Lee A Johnson

Density on the site should be limited to one residential unit per 300m2 gross site area.

38/7 (2523k)

Lee A Johnson

Maximum building height should be limited to 10m (average or rolling)

38/8 (2523k)

Lee A Johnson

Activity buffers as set out in the District Plan must be maintained in all circumstances.

39/2 (2523k)

Pamela E Grant

The council has the responsibility of protecting the interests of ratepayers and residents from developers and this proposal needs to be rejected totally.

40/2 (1106k)

Anita Y C Kwan

I strongly insist that any change of land use in out area should only be considered under such circumstance that upgrades the welfare of the residents on the area and not for the benefit to those private entrepreneur that concern too much for their own benefits.

40/3 (1106k)

Anita Y C Kwan

Lot 51 DP16324 (# 7 John Rymer Place should be kept for residential purpose only as subjected to the covenants.

41/2 (1344k)

45/4 (1054k)

Kaye Wilson

Rona M Thompson

Decline

43/2 (2756k)

Bill Whitburn

The ACC has I believe an ethical and moral responsibility to preserve the land only for education development for future generations of eastern bays residents.

43/3 (2756k)

Bill Whitburn

The ACC should take into account that Kohimarama has been previously rejected by them (Education Holdings) for urban intensification along the lines that is being promoted by the developer because there is no local rail network and the roading system that services Kohimarama and particularly the vicinity of the planned development is already at full capacity. having rejected urban intensification for the suburb previously, it would be incomprehensible for ACC to make any other decision than to reject the developer's proposal.

43/4 (2756k)

Bill Whitburn

Clearly, the construction of an access road on lot 51 is in clear breach of the land covenant and needs to be disallowed. Moreover, as the covenant is 'the will of all the people' who have invested their money in John Rymer Place property, the terms of the covenant needs to be accorded priority and hierarchy over councils own planning obligations. Anything less will be a betrayal of the trust that residents place in Auckland City Council staff and its officers.

43/5 (2756k)

Bill Whitburn

ACC also needs to take into account previous approvals it has provided for commercial or residential developments within the area and provide ratepayers an impact assessment of the consequences of any future developments. It would constitute utter negligence for ACC to even consider the Educational Holdings plan change for education land until the full effects and consequences of an in-depth traffic assessment are considered.

44/2 (2075k)

Ian Savage

No reduced levels in relation to existing datums are indicated, nor are a reasonable amount of contours on the documentation. The council need to dismiss the application on this point alone.

44/3 (2075k)

Ian Savage

The bulk and size of any development on this land needs to be compatible with and in sympathy with those buildings in the surrounding neighbourhood.

49/2 (1097k)

Nicola M Lew

With the reduction of native habitats over the years in the area it would be criminal to remove any of this bush, as our bird and insect life is vital to our whole eco system.

49/3 (1097k)

Nicola M Lew

With the population increases we are experiencing that to hold the land for the future would be an excellent insurance.

51/2 (1081k)

Raymond J Smith

The section at 7 John Rymer Place should certainly not be used as an access way for any proposed development, and should remain as a residential site as agreed to in the covenants imposed by the St Johns Trust Board in the original sale agreements for all the land in John Rymer Place.

58/1 (899k)

The only possible outcome left to the Auckland City Council now is to make sure this land remains zoned Educational for the future benefit of the community.

78/3 (2048k)

Stuart M Grant

Firstly, in the matter of our mutual land covenants, and secondly, in the matter of the creation of the problematic traffic intersection.

78/4 (2048k)

Stuart M Grant

7 John Rymer must stay as residential land only.

79/2 (943k)

The potential use of the existing land for future education use should be protected and made available as required in the future.

Mark Duncan

Has the council taken into consideration the increased access from residents populating the 'Stonefields' development, who will want access down Kohimarama Road to Mission Bay and Kohimarama Bay? Adding an extra 6,500 people into the area is something that should be considered for future requirements of our road system in this area.

Decline the proposed change of zoning of 7 John Rymer Place from Residential 6a to special Purpose 1.

138/2 (2615k)

Christopher J Taylor

Decline - the rezoning of 223 Kohimarama Rd from Special Purpose 2 to special purpose 1. There is no need to change the zoning of 7 John Rymer Place; 223 Kohimarama Road has existing legal access onto Kohimarama Road which is available to the applicant without derogating the amenity currently available to the occupants of John Rymer Place.

138/3 (2615k)

Christopher J Taylor

A rezoning of the land to Residential 6a seems entirely logical; it is in keeping with the surrounding environment; the use is broad enough to enable a range of potential developments, wholly offering a degree of protection and control that is appropriate.

Mission Bay Kohi Residents Association

The Auckland City Council requires verification of the demand for a retirement village of this nature before it further considers a change in zoning.

142/3 (1786k)

Mission Bay Kohi Residents Association

It is contended that the Council require the Ministry of Education to complete a review of current and future education needs and parent's intentions before consideration be given to a change in zoning away from education.

142/4 (1786k)

Mission Bay Kohi Residents Association

Recommendation: that the council agree that the concept is inappropriate for the area.

142/5 (1786k)

Mission Bay Kohi Residents Association

That channelling increased traffic volume into the Kohimarama Road, John Rymer Place and Allum street through John Rymer Place be rejected.

Withdraw proposed plan change 219 in its entirety. Engineering solutions to the rise to Kohimarama Road from the site and the sight-line in Kohimarama Road need to be found. Or that access through the existing Selwyn College Land be agreed.

John Rymer Place should retain a Residential 6a zone otherwise it defeats the purpose of residents living in the district plan sets up for residential 6a zoning.

Existing properties at Kohimarama Road discharge in soak holes. The storm water design flows needs to accommodate all properties to prevent major overflow and the current storm water and existing sewer pump is undersized according to report.

Decline in its entirety. The land should be used for future education purposes.

155/1 (939k)

Nikolai Gorbounov

Decline in its entirety. If it is good planning practice to protect the sightliness and horizon looking from the harbour to the iconic Auckland volcanoes, then surely we as residents within the city should also have protection of reasonable sightliness and reasonable access to air and light. Developments, particularly along south facing slopes, should follow the natural land contours so as not to deprive adjoining properties from adverse effects of shadowing.

155/2 (939k)

Nikolai Gorbounov

If the Auckland City Council were to allow the change of zoning of 7 John Rymer Place from residential 6a, to enable it to become a vehicle and pedestrian access to 3 ha site proposed as a retirement village, it would be a direct contradiction of the intention of the covenants.

159/2 (1612k)

Charles N Lowndes

If Council will not retain the present zoning of the land, then it should consider zoning the land res. 6A and permit a residential development off its own cul-de-sac (repeating the planning for John Rymer Place in effect).

159/3 (1612k)

Charles N Lowndes

Council should retain the present Education only zoning of this land because it is the last remaining, substantial secondary schooling land available in the northeast quarter of Auckland City. It is large enough to sustain a school in its own right, whether that be an Intermediate School (which the area lacks at present) or another College - public or private.

Council should not consider changing the zoning from Education Purposes until after the year 2008 elections (and so not preclude the next government from carrying out its education plans.)

162/2 (974k)

Access from Kohimarama Road should be the only access to the site.

7 John Rymer Place. Auckland City Council should obey the covenant.

Robert V Asplin

The plan change modification should be rejected the zoning should be retained as education.

172/2 (3391k)

Robert V Asplin

should this not be possible the only other acceptable zoning would be for recreation coupled with stipulations to retain the existing flora and fauna (trees, plants, birds, insects and animals.)

172/3 (3391k)

Robert V Asplin

The use of 7 John Rymer Place as an access to the site is not an option. Access to the site should only be via Kohimarama Road.

173/1 (841k)

Renee M Sell

Decline in its entirety. Land should be for education for future generations.

173/2 (841k)

Renee M Sell

This application should be declined because it would greatly overburden local infrastructure.

173/3 (841k)

Renee M Sell

This application should be declined alone on the traffic situation and that intersection of John Rymer Place and Kohimarama Road is already extremely dangerous at times.

174/1 (785k)

Richard Sell

Decline in its entirety. This land should be used for education and this application should be declined as not being in the interests of the community.

176/2 (773k)

Chiwako Hoshina

Decline. City Council should be concerned to give them access through Kohimarama Road using current Education Holding Limited's land. If no access is available, no plan should be had.

Eastern Bays Community Board

It is the Community Board's view that the present education zoning should be retained; to do otherwise would be short-sighted and jeopardize the opportunity to provide for future education needs, including expansion of the present school site to accommodate roll growth, in a part of the City where suitably sized land is not readily available.

191/2 (1068k)

Eastern Bays Community Board

There is also a public responsibility by the Council to zone suitable land, or retain the zoning on land already zoned as such, for the education of the younger population within the local area.

191/3 (1068k)

Eastern Bays Community Board

Should the Planning Commissioners endorse the proposed Plan Modification 219 to change the zoning, and endorse the concept plan proposal to construct a retirement village, the Community Board asks that conditions be imposed to avoid

or mitigate any adverse effects on the adjoining residential area, and the relatively narrow street which is proposed to be the access to and egress from the property.

191/4 (1068k)

Eastern Bays Community Board

The Board asks the Commissioners to note the number of large retirement villages already established in the Eastern Bays area by operators with proven track record for developing and managing such villages. A significant characteristic of the large villages, which are comparable to the proposed village, is that no matter how they are dressed up with landscaping, their size in bulk and height dominate the locality. The Board asks that any concept retirement village envisaged for this site is compatible and blends in with the surrounding residential properties, in terms of lower density/bulk and lower height (not more than two storeys).

191/5 (1068k)

Eastern Bays Community Board

There must be no direct access from the site onto Kohimarama Road.

191/6 (1068k)

Eastern Bays Community Board

As many trees as possible must be retained, and new mature trees must be planted in the first stages of any development.

191/7 (1068k)

Eastern Bays Community Board

The private application for rezoning to Special Purpose 1 (health) and a concept plan for a retirement village be rejected, and that the present zones of Special Purpose 2 (education) and Residential 6a be retained for the respective sites.

192/1 (2347k)

GM and SM Fowlie

That a Structure Plan be developed to demonstrate how the site will be developed and operated with greater certainty.

192/2 (2347k)

GM and SM Fowlie

That vehicle access is split between the Kohimarama Road access and the John

DOMlNANT ACTIV1TY:HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FOR RETIREMENT VILLAGE

adjoining and surrounding residential character and amenity.

192/4 (2347k)

GM and SM Fowlie

That an equivalent section to 10.8.1.5B be developed to require the internalization of storage of refuse and disposal, service and parking areas and /or the location of these areas away from residential boundaries.

That the words "landscaping may include storm water ponds " be deleted under 3 Coverage Controls bullet point three.

192/7 (2347k)

GM and SM Fowlie

That in addition to parking being assessed against the criteria set out in 12 8.1.1 for "Retirement Village", criteria for parking is established for each of the activities listed as Permitted so as to contain all parking requirements to the site.

192/8 (2347k)

GM and SM Fowlie

Earthworks:

That the existing District Plan provisions relating to Earthworks in residential areas be incorporated in the plan Change as Development Controls.

192/9 (2347k)

GM and SM Fowlie

Separation between Buildings

That an appropriately worded Development Control be included to require the separation between buildings that would be reasonably expected in a school environment (taking into consideration the need for spaces for play), and a residential environment (taking into account residential yard requirements). A compromise between the two is requested so that residential amenity values of the surrounding area are maintained. Alternatively that no Development Control requirement for separation between buildings be required if there is a comprehensive Structure Plan developed for the site and a requirement that development be in general accordance with that Structure Plan.

192/10 (2347k)

GM and SM Fowlie

Building Face Size

That either: the Assessment Criteria for Restricted Discretionary activities be further developed and amended to minimize the risk of large monolithic building faces that are out of character with the residential environment and that the

Assessment Criteria suggest that where such buildings are proposed then there should be further public involvement or consultation;

Or an appropriate Development Control be incorporated into the Plan Change proposal to achieve the same; and/or a comprehensive Structure Plan be developed to demonstrate how such building development and consequential effects on the amenity value of the area be avoided.

192/11 (2347k)

GM and SM Fowlie

That 7.l(a) be amended to include after the full stop the words: and public

viewing points across John Rymer Place from Kohimarama Road

That a new 7.l(i) be developed as follows:

(i) The extent to which a new building/s affects the privacy and/or sunlight

enjoyed by the occupants of residential properties.

That a new 7.l(i) be developed as follows:

j) The extent to which a new building/s use the existing topography to

minimize the appearance of height and bulk when viewed from John

Rymer Place and Kohimarama Road.

That the existing Note under 7.3 be amended to read:

It is expected that all new applications will demonstrate how they are consistent

with the landscape plan approved as part of the Plan Change process.
