   6.5. 29-31 EDEN CRESCENT, AUCKLAND CENTRAL 20050410801

   Appointment of Planning Commissioner(s) to hear and determine an application to erect a building on the site at 29-31 Eden Crescent, Auckland Central. The building will be used for residential accommodation, with a provision for a restaurant or café at ground level.

   A resource consent was granted on a non-notified basis in August 2006. The Official Bay Heritage Protection Society sought a judicial review of the Council's decision not to notify the application. In July, the Court rejected the Society's claims and the Society is currently appealing that decision.

   The applicant now seeks a second 'back up' consent for an effectively identical development. This is normal procedure where an initial consent is challenged and delayed for lengthy periods in the Courts.

   The original application was considered by Mr R Gee, Mr J Hill, Mr R Wright (deceased), Ms L McGregor and Cr F Storer. The applicant has requested that as many as possible of the original Commissioners be appointed as they are familiar with the development.

8. EXCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC : LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL INFORMATION AND MEETINGS ACT 1987

   Julie McKee
   Hearings Team Leader	15 Aug 2007
   Section 48, Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987:

   The following motion is submitted for consideration:

   That the public be excluded from the following part(s) of the proceedings of this meeting.

   The general subject of each matter to be considered while the public is excluded, the reason for passing this resolution in relation to each matter, and the specific grounds under Section 48(1) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 for the passing of this resolution follows.

   This resolution is made in reliance on Section 48(1)(a) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 and the particular interest or interests protected by section 6 or section 7 of that Act which would be prejudiced by the holding of the whole or relevant part of the proceedings of the meeting in public, as follows:

   Item no.	General subject of each matter to be considered	Reason for passing this resolution in relation to each matter	Particular interest(s) protected (where applicable)	Ground(s) under section 48(1) for the passing of this resolution
   C1	380 Cowes Bay Road, Waiheke Island - Environment Court Appeal	The public conduct of this matter would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason to withhold exists under section 7.	Section 7(2) (j) - The withholding of the information is necessary to prevent the disclosure or use of official information for improper gain or improper advantage. In particular, an appeal has been lodged with the Environment Court against the Council's decision to approve land use consent for vehicle access, including the removal of native vegetation, site works and driveway gradient greater than 1:4 to a proposed jetty and boat ramp within the Coastal Marine Area at 380 Cowes Bay Road, Waiheke Island. The disclosure of information at this stage could be used by other parties to gain improper advantage prior to court proceedings.	S48(1)(a): The public conduct of this matter would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason to withhold exists under section 7.
