Dear Clint Owens,

This is Rebekah, a member and Secretary of the Society.

We have 5 members in a subcommittee working on OIA's through this account, with that number likely to grow in the near future, trying to obtain information that has yet to be provided, and looking through the information.

Answer 1: refers to
CONCEPT MASTERPLAN:
- Page 15 - shows 2 parking spaces per lot
- Page 16 - Isthmus shows a 18m wide road with a sidewalk on either side with recessed parking on the right hand side going through the sidewalk and over the person. There is a 1m side berm and a 1.5m walkway shown, if the walkway and side berm was removed, the parking space would be 2.5m however there would no longer be a pedestrian walkway. We note the swale side berm is also on this side of the road and will likely be a deep cut over 1m in depth, not usable as pedestrian walkway plus culvert driveway access over swales. We also note that a loading zone would require 3m wide parking space, for moving trucks, delivery trucks, etc.
- Page 16 - Isthmus for 14m wide road, we consider the same issues.

As per the original question, please provide an aerial view & the number of proposed street parking spaces.

Questions 2,3,3a,3b,3c,3d,3e,4,4a noted 24 November 2023 due date.

Answer 5: Noted

Answer 5a: We understand as per Answer 5 that there is no formal agreement, however question 5a asks whether the informal unsigned agreement will give any preferential access to any of the housing or land?

Answer 5b: The agreement has been discussed as saying the two additional lots were not specifically listed, which could be considered that different wording could have been used, such as "additional lots over and above the 44 lots" could be allocated to Ngati Rangi. Please provide actual wording referred to in the "ENGAGEMENT IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR LEGISLATION" and whether any incentive has been provided to Ngāti Rangi to partner with Teitei Drive.

Answer 5c: still stands, is Ngāti Rangi receiving any assets or discounts in return for their involvement as an incentive.

Answer 6: We still request all updates to the resource consent that proceed the date you uploaded the original resource consent files, this is to include the section 92 notices but is not limited to the section 92 notices.

Answer 7: We note REFER TO OI 23 642 – DUE 14 NOV 2023, I will touch base with the members to obtain a copy of these, could you advise which member this sits with?

Answer 7a: We note REFER TO OI 23 642 – DUE 14 NOV 2023, I will touch base with the members to obtain a copy of these, could you advise which member this sits with?

Questions 8 & 9 noted 24 November 2023 due date.

Dear Kainga Ora Correspondence,

Your answer to question one stated information had already been provided to us and that "It notes two parking spaces per home with additional street parking"

Your supporting document "OI 23 651 Section 92 Integrated transport assessment combined material Redacted.pdf" includes an email from 26th July 2023 from Todd Lanewell states under point 2, "Social housing in which car ownership is low and that some of the house topologies are going to only support a parking demand of only one car per dwelling".

Questions:
1./ Why has KO continually claimed that two car parks will be provided for when they clearly knew back in July 2023 that this wasn't the case?

2./ If you consider the above an opinion, please look at the supporting documentation you provided and see for yourself under OIA responses you have provided; NZTA conditions recently provided even state that its conditional on 2 car parks per dwelling

3./ The current Teitei Drive encroaches on Carrot Park and will need to go through consultation to legally vest as a legal road; thus no consent should be granted based on no legal road exists for Teitei Drive. Please advise if this has been reviewed

Yours sincerely,
