7.1

Proposed changes to the entrance to Enterprise Street and complete removal of car parks outside CopyBooth Ltd.

 

A petition was tabled regarding the removal of carparks outside CopyBooth Ltd (1 Enterprise Street, Birkenhead) proposed as part of the concept plan for the Birkenhead Town Centre project.  The preamble to the petition reads as follows:

“I have viewed the proposed changes to the entrance to Enterprise Street along with the complete removal of Car Parks outside CopyBooth Ltd. 1 Enterprise Street.  If these changes were to take place I would find using CopyBooth Ltd extremely difficult and inconvenient because of the removal of car parks outside the premises along with the changes to the entrance to Enterprise Street.  I would be inclined to go elsewhere for my printing and other work that I require.”

Suzanne Harper was in attendance to present the petition to the local board.

A copy of the petition has been placed on the official copy of the minutes and can be viewed on the Auckland Council website.

 

Resolution number KT/2015/20

MOVED by Chairperson K McIntyre, seconded by Member J Gillon:  

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

b)        thank Suzanne Harper for presenting the petition from CopyBooth Ltd to the board.

Onewa Domain and AF Thomas Park proposed parking restrictions

 

A late report entitled ‘AF Thomas Park and Onewa Domain Proposed Parking Restrictions’ has been presented for consideration by the board as an extraordinary item.

In accordance with Standing Order 3.7.5, an item that is not on the agenda for a meeting may be dealt with at the meeting if:

a)         the local board or committee by resolution so decides; and

b)         the presiding member explains at the meeting at a time when it is open to the public:

i)          the reason why the item is not on the agenda; and

ii)         the reason why the discussion of the item cannot be delayed until a subsequent meeting.

 

Resolution number KT/2015/21

MOVED by Chairperson K McIntyre, seconded by Member L Waugh:  

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)         accept the report entitled ‘AF Thomas Park and Onewa Domain Proposed Parking Restrictions’ as an extraordinary item on the following grounds:

i)          the reporting officer was unable to meet agenda publication deadlines in order to await feedback and comment on report content from key stakeholders;

ii)         the issue has been delayed since August 2014 pending the outcome of discussions between council’s Parks department and Auckland Transport regarding the management of carparking on council parks and reserves;

iii)       any delay in making decisions on the issues raised in the report will further compound parking issues in the area for both sporting codes and parks users, particularly once winter arrives.

b)        note that the report will be discussed under item 24 (Consideration of Extraordinary Items) on this agenda.
