EIA FOR THE PROPOSED LANGEZANDT QUAYS DEVELOPMENT IN STRUISBAAI HARBOUR: CRR 1.1.49 1.1.50 1.1.51 1.1.52 Stephen Knobel (137) D.G. & J.L. Falck (64) D.G. & J.L. Falck (64) D.G. & J.L. Falck (64) Referring to Page 126, there's a gap in your historical background with regards to when the Coloured fishermen who resided in harbour are were removed to make a way for the white, current day settlement. Please investigate if there are no links between this event and the peculiar title deed restriction. The design of the building is fairly formal, and will inhibit the holiday feeling the harbour and Erf 848 currently has. This is further enhanced by the fact that a wall is planned between the harbour and Erf 848 – a sure way of creating a psychological and physical boundary between the property and harbour and their respective uses The proposed building is not in line with existing buildings in the area, nor is it‟s proposed usage. It can therefore not be approved. Up to now, all buildings in Struisbaai have been fewer storeys than what is planned. The fact that a two storey development is not feasible should not be a reason to extend zoning parameters to more levels, this is a town-planning issue not an economic concern. Should the economic concern outweigh the town-planning concerns, I can probably request to have more buildings on my residential plot, so that my tenants can share in my bond repayment costs - clearly this is not a legitimate argument for a four storey development being approved! Please refer to Section 2.8.1 of the FEIR. Your comment is noted. The proposed design does not have a boundary wall planned on the north and west side of the development. Your statement is noted. Please refer to Section 2.7 of the FEIR. Noted. The proponent has been required to motivate the height of their design and this is included in Annexure O & Annexure P of the FEIR. Please refer to Sections 1.4, 2.6 and 2.7 of the FEIR for a discussion of this matter. The SDF has a two storey height restriction for the area and thus Cape Agulhas Municipality and the competent authority would be required to make a decision whether or not this development could be exempted from this restriction and to what extent.

EIA FOR THE PROPOSED LANGEZANDT QUAYS DEVELOPMENT IN STRUISBAAI HARBOUR: CRR 1.1.53 1.1.54 1.1.55 1.1.56 1.1.57 1.1.58 1.1.59 D.G. & J.L. Falck (64) Jeanette Bruwer (75) Hannes and Erica Pienaar (163) Grant McKinstry (80) Carel Schaap (165) Bertrus Hayward (172) Jack Smith (60) How a new sectional title development will change this is beyond me, except of course if the development‟s proposed market is not South African? The concern posed relates to the market for foreign tourists that the sectional title deed units would attract, the comment follows. This also links up with the price of units, which may place it outside the local market. It will be a sad day if Struisbaai becomes “Struis Bay” because of the make-up of owners here. The developer must adhere to the building restrictions of erf 848. When the plots were bought and the houses were built the harbour area was not supposed to be rezoned as a residential area. Building height that is greater than two stories is not allowed in Struisbaai. Everyone has to adhere to these regulations for so many years. I find it strange to note that the fact that the applicant owns Erf 848 be used as justification for an application for change of use ("only land available to"). Why did he purchase it in the first instance, and why not a more suitable erf? Were we all born yesterday? The height of the proposed building is a concern I don‟t have objections to the development of the property, however I do object to the proposed four storey development that apparently exceeds certain building regulations and would put additional strain on municipal services. Please refer to Section 2.4.6 and 2.8 of the FEIR regarding Feasibility Assessment as well as needs and desirability detailed in Section 7.4. Please refer to Sections 2.6 and 2.7 of the FEIR. Noted however planning legislation allows for landowners to undertake a legal process to alter such restrictions which may or may not be granted by the authorities. A new SDF has been passed in accordance with the Municipal Systems Act as of December 2009. The 2009 CAM SDF promotes development within the urban edge, of which Erf 848 is located. Please refer to Section 1.4 and 2.7 of the FEIR The proponent bought Erf 848 because of its unique qualities to build the proposed development on it and therefore does not wish to consider other location alternatives. Your concern is noted. Please refer to Section 5.2.6 of the FEIR and Section 1.1.95 of this Comment and Response Report. A new SDF has been passed in accordance with the Municipal Systems Act as of December 2009. The 2009 CAM SDF promotes development within the urban edge, of which Erf 848 is located.
