EIA FOR THE PROPOSED LANGEZANDT QUAYS DEVELOPMENT IN STRUISBAAI HARBOUR: CRR 1.11.13 1.11.14 1.11.15 Hans Swart (27) Hans Swart (27) Johan Liebenberg, Dorel Van der Westhuizen, Kobus Viljoen, Abrie Bruwer, Chris Moll, Stuart Du Plessis, G. R. Youldon, Johan Venter (59, 73, 69, 66, 65, 172, 93, 78) Secondly, a concise summary of my most important objections. My permanent home is located approximately 150 m away from erf 848. Therefore, the proposed development would have a continuing negative impact on my residency, as well as the following two important aspects: quality of life and property value. Property in a good location with a view of the ocean/ harbour would instantly be negatively impacted. Construction of a high density development would result in the deterioration and fall of surrounding property values. Most of the surrounding properties are part of testaments and will be negatively impacted by the developer‟s avarice. The preservation and improvement of cultural historic attractions increase the value of surrounding properties, whereas the destruction of cultural historic focal points reduces property value. The proposed development will have a negative impact on the value of our property. Please refer to Sections 5.2.5 and 5.2.6 of the FEIR regarding impact on quality of life. Please refer to Annexure H: Economic Assessment. Please refer to Sections 5.2.5 and 5.2.6 of the FEIR regarding impact on quality of life. Please refer to Annexure H: Economic Assessment. Please refer to Section 1.11.1 of this Comment and Response Report. Property values Property values Property values 1.12 Cumulative impact 1.12.1 Jacobus J.D. Havenga (12) You provide no written guarantees how mitigation measures will be complied with. The summary sounds very good, but there are no written agreements that can be used in legal processes should mitigation measures not be complied with. Please refer to Annexure T of the FEIR for a letter from the proponent as to what they commit to implementing. Secondly the proponent would have to comply with the mitigation measures legally stipulated in the Environmental Authorisation decision should the development be approved and built.

EIA FOR THE PROPOSED LANGEZANDT QUAYS DEVELOPMENT IN STRUISBAAI HARBOUR: CRR 1.12.2 1.12.3 1.12.4 1.12.5 1.12.6 1.12.7 Carel Van der Merwe (20) Carel Van der Merwe (20) Leon Lotter (40) E. Ley Kempthorne (49) Neville Van der Westhuizen (71) Hans Swart (27) The costs of establishing the effective and efficient access road to erf 848 or 921 are not addressed in the DEIR. Such costs should be exclusively for the developers as they will be the beneficiary of this access road, it would be unfair to impose any costs on the residents through increased rates as not all of us are in favour of this development. Costs for the facilities for buses to drop off tourists should similarly be exclusively for the developer. There is no opportunity for further development within the existing harbour due to its limited size. Should erf 848 be developed to accommodate a hotel and timeshare units, there will be no space to extend the harbour should the need arise. The possible negative impact for demand/market share of existing retail facilities in the study area has not been adequately addressed. Currently the area is very seasonal which limits the economic feasibility of too much retail. Whilst the developer has stated that the nature of his proposal are to mitigate this, it is not clear how a 60 room hotel and 27 apartments would create the estimated demand, even if 100% occupancy is achieved, which is by the way debatable, and for which no indication of how this could be achieved has been provided. All along our coastline there are examples of damage to properties that encroach onto the Coastal Zone. Quality of life: Increasing numbers of nonresidents, as well as noise and disturbance due to high density accommodation CAM would be responsible for the construction of a formalized parking area with associated road and entry/exit points. The proponent would however contribute towards this infrastructure through a service agreement and agreed development levy and relevant tariffs that would apply solely to the proposed development. Please refer to point 1.12.2 of this comments and response report. Erf 848 is private land and does not form part of the harbour (in a legal context). Erf 848 is acknowledged to be within the harbour precinct and in the event that harbour expansion is required MCM would not be able to develop on Erf 848 as it is private land. Please refer to Section 2.4.6, Annexure P and Annexure U of the FEIR. This information has been produced upon request by I&APs during the public meeting conducted on the 31 October 2009. Therefore, this information is new and was not originally included in the DEIR. Your concern is noted. Please refer to Section 5.2.8 of the FEIR. Please refer to Section 1.7.99 of this Comment and Response Report.
