EIA FOR THE PROPOSED LANGEZANDT QUAYS DEVELOPMENT IN STRUISBAAI HARBOUR: CRR 1.1.60 1.1.61 1.1.62 1.1.63 1.1.64 Jack Smith (60) Jack Smith (60) Jack Smith (60) Jack Smith (60) Jack Smith (60) The property size is indicated as 3 805 m 2 (page 3 of the Executive Summary) and on page 4 the soil surface area of the development is indicated as 3 659 m 2 . Thus, 96% of the property will be developed, which to my knowledge is against the building regulations. To my knowledge building areas are restricted to 75%. What other building regulations will be infringed upon? There is no reference in your documents regarding these transgressions. The following comment on page 3 doesn‟t ring true: “As the site is limited in size (3 805 m 2 ), maximum use is proposed for the site for the project to be financially optimized. Site layout alternatives are thus limited. Site layout alternatives have been considered in the design iterations. Only one feasible layout is therefore assessed.” This is an unacceptable excuse. Restrictions should have been investigated beforehand. The developer should not try to play on people's feelings and argue there are limited alternatives. Did the developer receive approval beforehand from the municipality to exceed the building regulations? General opinion: “Design buildings to optimize on natural energy, i.e. North facing and windows shaded in summer”. What about winter months? 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 Please refer to Sections 2.6 and 2.7 of the FEIR. The proponent bought the site with the view to develop it in such a way to ensure that it is economically sustainable. The competent authority would need to make a final decision on whether the proposal is acceptable. The developer was advised that due process needed to be followed as standard practive. Please refer to Sections 2.6 and 2.7 of the FEIR. North facing is particularly important for winter months.

EIA FOR THE PROPOSED LANGEZANDT QUAYS DEVELOPMENT IN STRUISBAAI HARBOUR: CRR 1.1.65 1.1.66 1.1.67 Mr. and Mrs. Hendrik/ Helen Conradie (108) Mr. and Mrs. Hendrik/ Helen Conradie (108) Mr. and Mrs. Hendrik/ Helen Conradie (108) The photo on page 2 of the executive summary clearly shows that proposed alternative 6 will replace our much loved harbour area with a particularly large building that will dwarf everything else. This photo shows the northern and western front of a five storey building and not four as mentioned elsewhere in the report. Are you trying to soften us up to acceptance when the parking level will not be constructed below ground anymore due to the water level issues? Furthermore, the development covers the full length of the seafront of the erf, impacting, to my opinion, completely on the view and accessibility. With every presentation we strenuously objected to this development that ignores all building regulations very clearly. We cannot believe that the authorities would knowingly approve this despite the fact that the building limitations are ignored or that you believe you will get approval. The developer should have known before buying the property whether this development has a chance to be successful. Your argument that you have the right to develop the property into a viable waterfront complex with a hotel, sectional title flats, informal restaurants and retail shops despite the building regulations, as well as your arguments that this is the only suitable property, cannot be true. Your concern is noted. The EIR documentation attempts to clearly represent and independently assess the facts of the proposal. Regarding the basement please refer to Section 5.2.8 of the FEIR. Regarding the height of the building, please refer to Sections 5.2.5 and 5.2.6 of the FEIR. The public comments and objections are included in the EIA documentation and must be considered by the competent decisionmaking authorities. The competent authority may decide not to approve the proposed development. Regarding the restrictions, 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 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 and Annexure L & U of the FEIR.
