Hi Ripul,
 
The road widening to 7m is to accommodate the heavy vehicles generated from the cleanfil activity,
hence the consent was granted based on the road widening condition. The current works has not fulfil
this consent condition hence not acceptable to AT.
 
Also road shoulder has not been provided. When the road is widened the developer has removed the
existing shoulder however did not replace with a new one. A minimum of 500mm shoulder should be
provided to comply with Council / AT standard.
 
Several power poles are right against the edge line after the road widening, which become road side
safety hazards and should be relocated to achieve suitable clearance.
 
Regards,
Minnie

Hi Ripul
 
Thanks for your email, do you know where about is the proposed guardrail site??  Do you have a copy of
the guardrail design – as we would like to ensure that both the selection of the guardrail, the shy line and
the design complies with the NZTA standard.
 
Please can you help?
Many thanks
Irene

Hi everyone,
 
Veer 
(Council Development Engineer team leader) has sent me a list of to do things for 261 Twilight
Rd – see below. He has also mentioned that in his opinion where there is an actual physical constraint on
site such that pole is on one side and cliff on the other – it is hard to achieve 7m road widening but not
for a continuous part of the chain-age.
 
In terms of moving forward, what do we want from the applicant before signing off? Your response will
also help me answer LGOIMA request that AT has received and myself and Dayal (AT Senior Quality
Assurance Engineer) will ensure that it’s provided before sign-off. Please let us know
 
Note –
-        Road safety audit has been provided and they have confessed that Armco barrier is something
they haven’t done and rest everything else has been done.
-        Tree was removed by settling $40,000 payment to resident where it encroached half the tree.
(point #9)
 
Veer 
 has ensured me that until all AT issues are resolved, Auckland Transport should not be sign off
and in fact he is not happy with the improvements that have been done to this section of the road so far.
If meeting for half hour (over skype) helps, I am happy to schedule that but both myself and Dayal need

clear directions to where we are heading for this.
 
Also note that I am still waiting for Veer/Doug 
 (Council DE) to come back to me outlining how
much involvement Auckland Transport had during Engineering Approval application.
 
Many Thanks
Regards,
Ripul

Hi Kevin
 
Have you addressed the issues listed on 25/11:
 
1                 Trucks on road carrying “material” to the landfill
2                 Road Width measurements are even as low as 5.6m at places.
3                 What is the governing speed limit and is there any proposal to reduce it
4                 What is happening about the engine breaking noise
5                 Has the channel been set out in accordance with the approved plans
6                 Road corner visibility at Jill’s corner?
7                 Are trucks allowed only between 7a.m-5.30p.m?
8                 Channel needs clean up and can it be extended (to near Jill’s corner)
9                 Big tree near Jill’s property is to be removed; Council has asked the developer to
proceed from the road side if ‘right of entry’ issue is not resolved.
10              What about other trees
11              Can there be any house stability issues for Jill after the tree is removed
12              Arborists report may be needed to ascertain any damage to the native trees on Jill’s
property due to road works
13              Rock support may be required around chainage 650-680m
14              What is the difference between the URS and AECOM drawings
15              The distance from the seal to the road edge is not 500mm at all places
16              Dead tree near chainage 780 needs to be cut and the property owner is happy to allow
access
17              Side batters are a matter of concern near chainage 850m - 990
18              Electric wires seem to be low at chainage 1000m
19              Catchpit leads near Ch:1100 ?


20              Geotech advice for the Tree near Ch:1150?
21              There are steep slopes at places that may need retaining. Has the Geotech engineer
looked at the downhill side slopes (like near Leane’s property)
22              Power poles close to the seal area
23              Can there be speed cameras to monitor speeds
24              Why is the road widening undertaken only in a small stretch and not for the full length
from Kimpton Rd to the landfill access point
25              Visibility from 314 Twilight Road (turning right)
26              There are trucks going towards Clevedon from landfill (turning right)
27              Caution Signs?
28              Downhill slope failure near 70m short of the landfill entrance
29              Any tracking curves
30              Road safety audit
Thanks
