EIA FOR THE PROPOSED LANGEZANDT QUAYS DEVELOPMENT IN STRUISBAAI HARBOUR: CRR 1.3.25 1.3.26 1.3.27 1.3.28 1.3.29 1.3.30 1.3.31 1.3.32 1.3.33 Dirk de Jongh (Jnr) (168) Katherine C. Drake (144) Verlasety A. Meiring (136) Henri R. Du Plessis (140) Gillian Vermaak (152) Pauli Bester (132) Yvonne M Burke (166) Yvonne M Burke (166) Yvonne M Burke (166) Parking is another concern as it would congest the harbour and surrounding roads. Parking access to Erf 921 for hotel residents and restaurant patrons would reduce access for other people as well. The proposed development would result in traffic congestion Parking in the harbour and the surrounds are not addressed satisfactory in the Draft EIA I'm concerned about traffic in and out of the harbour for boat owners as well as old residents via Kusweg Oos Traffic through and around the development must be planned and controlled from the outset The proposed development will cause further traffic congestion in the harbour area. I'm concerned about traffic congestion on tourist buses and also during the construction phase on Kusweg North as we're also experiencing difficulties in getting to and from our residences during the holiday season. Kusweg North Road is not suitable for the amount of heavy traffic and with many pedestrians and children using this road could be endangered. I suggest that buses and trucks to use the Main and Harbour Roads for access to the proposed development. This matter should be discussed with the Municipality and traffic departments. Please refer to Section 5.2.2 of the FEIR. Access would be increased as there would be a number of exits on Erf 921. Please refer to Section 5.2.2 of the FEIR. Extensive assessment was undertaken to ascertain the potential impact of the proposed development to traffic flow and parking within the harbor precinct. Please note that parking within the harbor boundary is managed by the Department of Public Works. Please refer to Section 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 of this Comment and Response Report. Agreed. Please refer to Section 5.2.2 of the FEIR. Please refer to Section 5.2.2 of the FEIR. Please refer to Section 5.2.2 of the FEIR and Section 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 of this Comment and Response Report. Please refer to the construction phase impacts in Section 5.3 and refer to the EMP in Annexure Q of the FEIR. Please refer to Section 1.3.6 of this Comment and Response Report. It was stated in the EMP (Annexure Q) that the main access by construction vehicles would be Harbour Road. Your point has been noted and referred to the proponent for consideration.

EIA FOR THE PROPOSED LANGEZANDT QUAYS DEVELOPMENT IN STRUISBAAI HARBOUR: CRR 1.3.34 Stephen Knobel (137) The impact of fishing activities focused on parking problems and the EIA does not address the conflict that is going to arise between the proposed development and the activities of fishermen Please refer to Section 1.3.5 of this Comment and Response Report. iCE Group comment: The Erf 848 entrance and Erf 921 parking area layout were specifically designed to relieve congestion at the harbour entrance and to provide additional parking for fisherfolk. Traffic flow & Parking 1.3.35 1.3.36 Stephen Knobel (137) Jeanette Bruwer (75) Parking is an important issue and is covered in 20 pages of EIA. How can you iCE Group comment: even contemplate proposing less parking than the recommended national average of 6 per 100 m 2 Traffic flow rating reflected on the report is unreasonable. Traffic congestion is experienced everyday and with commercial and recreational fishing trailers occupying the parking space on good weather. Where would occupants and visitors of the proposed development park? Kusweg Oos and Harbour Road will change from a safe road for children and animals to a much busier road. The rate of 6 bays per 100 m 2 is used for shopping centres such as Somerset Mall or Tyger Valley. A rate of 4 bays per 100 m 2 is generally used for line shops. Please refer to Section 1.3.5 of this Comment and Response Report. Please refer to Section 1.3.5 of this Comment and Response Report. Traffic flow & Parking Traffic flow & Parking 1.3.37 Martoinette la Grange (86) The development will cause traffic congestion and disturb the tranquility of this holiday destination. iCE Group comment: The traffic analysis indicates that the only existing problem is at the Malvern Drive / Main Road intersection and measures were proposed (roundabout) to address this problem. The proposed Langezandt Quays development will add traffic, but intersections will continue to operate at satisfactory service levels Traffic flow & Parking I:\ENV\PROJECTS\401807~Struisbaai\Public Participation\Comments & Response\EIR\CRR IV FEIR ~ 26042010 [FINAL].doc 45 of 193
