PART B - ITEMS DEALT WITH BY THE BOARD AND REPORTED FOR INFORMATION ONLY

2. CONFIRMATION OF REPORT

The Board resolved that the report of the last ordinary meeting held on Monday 25 November 1996 be confirmed.

3. PETITIONS

1. TRAVIS ROAD RESIDENTS PETITION

The Board received a petition from Barbara Cuthill on behalf of 10 petitioners requesting the installation of yellow lines on the south side of Travis Road, from Bluegum Place to Barkers Road.

The prayer of the petition read as follows:

"We the undersigned request yellow lines be painted on the south side of Travis Road, from Bluegum Place to Barkers Road.

Your immediate attention to this request would be appreciated."

In response to the petition the Area Traffic Engineer commented that a layout for the QEII frontage was currently being investigated. It was the Area Traffic Engineer's opinion that consideration be given to the request for yellow lines in conjunction with the QEII changes.

It was resolved:

1. That the Board await the report on proposed changes to the QEII Park entrance area and its effect on Travis Road.

2. That signatories of the petition be advised of the Board's intention to await the overall concept plan.

2. CARDRONA STREET RESIDENTS PETITION

The Board received a petition from Rosemary and Leonard Jackson on behalf of 153 petitioners with regards to excessive traffic speed in Cardrona Street.

The prayer of the petition read as follows:

"Due to the excessive use of speed used in Cardrona Street in recent months, we would like you to sign this petition to support an application to have speed humps installed at either end of the street to hopefully prevent a further mindless accident in this vicinity and perhaps the death of an innocent child.

This form will be forwarded to the Road Transport Division along with a further request for speed humps. Your report would greatly strengthen this application and is immensely appreciated."

In a letter accompanying the petition Mr and Mrs Jackson wrote:

"I write in reference to the above mentioned street and the extreme concern that not only myself but many other residents in our area also express.

A few months ago I wrote to the Council with a letter requesting that speed humps be installed in our street along with the many reasons that we as residents felt were valid enough to warrant such an action being taken.

I have since that initial letter placed a petition in the local shop which outlined why it is becoming necessary to protect our children from the "speedsters" that not only use Cardrona Street as a bypass from Avonside Drive (ever since speed humps were installed there some time ago), and also there are some young residents by Pembroke Street who have no regard whatsoever for the young children that reside in this area. On one occasion, just recently, a car overturned in the street after being driven at an excessive speed and recklessness which resulted in a power pole being removed from the ground.

 

It is not unusual to see such behaviour and careless use of speed and it is time to take action before a child's life is carelessly taken.

Please give this your utmost priority as we all believe it to be in the best interests in the future of the children."

After some discussion the Board resolved to meet with the residents of Pembroke and Cardrona Streets regarding their concerns expressed in the petition.

4. DEPUTATIONS BY APPOINTMENT

Mr William Neal, representing the Seafield School of English, was in attendance to present a concept plan of his company's pier terminus building proposal. Mr Neal believed his proposal was in the best interests of New Brighton and had good support from the community. He wanted to create an area for people that would be attractive and inviting to families. Mr Neal concluded that his proposal had not been given due consideration to this point and asked that the Community Board give his concept plan a favourable response.

Mr Leo Byatt, a resident of Lonsdale Street, was in attendance to outline safety concerns at a proposal to place a footpath between residential property boundaries and the grass verge on Lonsdale Street. Mr Byatt felt the proposal to place footpaths close to houses would compromise safety (where cars move out of right of ways and drives), as well as privacy. Grass close to properties allowed vision and enhanced the privacy of residents.

The Board was sympathetic to Mr Byatt's concerns but on advice from the Area Traffic Engineer had to concede that this was a policy initiated through the City Council and had no power to act.

Mr Les Hooper was in attendance, on behalf of Parklands business interests, the Parklands Bowling Club and concerned residents, to encourage the Board to reconsider the impending street works to cul-de-sac Chadbury Street. Mr Hooper was concerned that no information had been passed on to him, he was informed of the works through the Parklands Bowling Club. Mr Hooper understood the safety aspects of the works but also felt a compromise could be met, this may include a slow `S' bend or some other form of aggressive traffic calming measure. Cutting the street off would affect local businesses.

5. CHADBURY STREET DEVELOPMENT

Following the presentation of Mr Les Hooper under "Deputations by Appointment" the Board concurred with Mr Hooper's sentiments and resolved that the Burwood Board members meet with officers and appropriate affected parties to discuss the proposal to cul-de-sac Chadbury Street.

6. CORRESPONDENCE

1. A letter was received from Mrs A R Davison, Secretary of New Brighton Working Mens Club Silver Band, thanking the Board for their involvement in the December 1996 Santa Tour. It was resolved that the letter be received, and that an additional letter be sent to the Silver Band reassuring them that their efforts were appreciated.

2. A letter was received from Mrs Jeanette Hodges JP thanking the Board for the Santa Tour which took place in December 1996. Mrs Hodges felt that it was a great idea and hoped that the Board would repeat the event in 1997. The Board resolved that the letter be received.

3. A letter was received from Mr Jack Travis, representing the Outreach Riding Trust, informing the Board that the Trust's intention to set up a riding school on the Bexley Reserve had been put on hold. The Board resolved that the letter be received.

4. A letter was received from Delis Aston, Passenger Transport Operations Planner (Canterbury Regional Council), informing the Board of a trial bus service between New Brighton Mall and The Palms at Shirley. The Board resolved that the information be received.

5. A letter was received from Jenny Lineham, Secretary of the Travis Wetland Trust, requesting that the Board consider allowing the Travis Wetland Trust to use a house opposite No 256 Beach Road for its general purposes. It was resolved that the Board support the request from the Travis Wetland Trust to use the house on Beach Road for its purposes, and that the Council pursue this request with haste.

7. TRAVIS WETLAND UPDATE

The Parks Planner was in attendance to update the Board on Travis Wetland management and development. After some discussion on issues such as; the idea of a moon gate memorial to Anne Flanagan, signage, traffic management at entrance points to the Reserve, and the issue of the motorway designation, it was resolved:

1. That the information be received.

2. That the Parks Unit give urgency to the completion of the final Travis Wetland Concept Plan.

8. FORESHORE UPDATE

The Water Services Planning Manager and the Design Engineer Drainage were in attendance to present a verbal report to the Board on recent consultation over the proposed Southshore foreshore protection works. It was reported that meetings in the area concerned had indicated a strong feeling among residents that the flooding situation was not as serious as initially thought by Council staff and the Community Board. It appeared that only a few residents were interested in the Council installing protection measures. The majority of people in the area had already taken measures to protect their properties and felt that this was adequate. The Board therefore resolved:

1. That officers report to the next Board meeting on the following issues:

(a) Street end protection

(b) Stormwater outfall

(c) Effective designs for residents

(d) Regional Council and City Council responsibilities

(e) An overall engineering perspective

The Board resolved that a give way sign be placed against Eglinton Street at its intersection with Breezes Road.

10. PEMBROKE STREET - GIVE WAY SIGN
