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.
