The DEIR explores no alternative sites for<br />

development. I personally feel that the<br />

stretch of land between Langezandt and<br />

Struisbaai North would be appropriate for<br />

the proposed development as it does not as<br />

clearly affect any residential property<br />

around. Also the now-abandoned<br />

commercial development between<br />

Langezandt and the main road would be a<br />

good position - overlooking the quaint<br />

fishing village of Langezandt towards the<br />

sea, while having the excellent access from<br />

the main road. Or the stretch of properties<br />

on Marine Drive between the ridge and the<br />

main road - even a 4 storey development<br />

would not spoil any property's line of sight to<br />

the beach below.<br />

A hotel site already exists in Struisbaai, and<br />

is another ideal alternative property and is<br />

currently vacant. This site must already<br />

have the required zoning, is centrally<br />

located alongside a public parking area and<br />

directly adjacent to the sea shore. I<br />

therefore contest the argument that<br />

alternative locations should not be<br />

considered, they should be considered.<br />

I disagree with the statement that site layout<br />

alternatives are limited, and that one<br />

feasible layout is therefore assessed. The<br />

fact that the developer bought the land at<br />

too high price should not justify an<br />

inappropriate development.<br />

I do not believe that adequate alternative<br />

activity and design alternatives have been<br />

explored, the only alternatives noted were<br />

an industrial development for fish<br />

processing and a four to six storey<br />

residential development. There must be<br />

other far more appropriate alternatives e.g.<br />

craft workshop and market which employs<br />

local disadvantaged communities, one and<br />

two storey residential development etc,<br />
