LOCAL BOARD PRESENTATION inc reference to LTCCP 6 March 2012 Notes for slides for Patumahoe Village Inc

Slide 1: Background As a community group we have invested considerable effort in researching the future of our Village. There has been substantial well documented consultation with our community. Volumes of literature on community planning has been read via publications and websites. Many community meetings and exchanges of information via website, email and phone have taken place. Our conclusion is that the future plans and aspirations for Village Communities by Auckland Council is very much in line with our thoughts. There is much talk of Sustainable Villages and some key points from the Auckland Council Unleashed document and Sustainable Aotearoa are as follows: 1 More concentrated living in CBDs and urban nodes. Depopulation of sprawling suburbs as citizens prefer to shift to semi-rural; village environments. 2 Less dependence on cars 3 Greater reliance on walking, biking and public transport 4 Village space is an important part of life 5 There are more shared facilities 6 Energy is less dependent on fossil fuels and sourced more locally 7 The physical community is thriving locally. Food recreation and decision making is more local 8 Employment is more diverse and home based 9 The natural environment is enhanced 10 Creative talents are mustered and innovative ideas delivered on

Slide 2: Patumahoe as at October 2011 Take a moment to view the village of Patumahoe as at October last year. We can see that unusually, Patumahoe has a transport hub accompanied by a central council reserve. This reserve has an old War Memorial Hall on a 100yr lease to Patumahoe Rugby as its social clubrooms, a functioning Volunteer Fire Station and also facilities for changing rooms for rugby, touch and cricket and clubrooms and playing areas for tennis and bowling. It also encompasses the two main rugby fields and the primary village cricket pitch. There is an area of unused land that was intended for the development of another bowling green.

Other reserves can be seen: the Clive Howe reserve which accommodates spillovers from the Patumahoe Rugby and Touch clubs, and the Patumahoe Primary School. Here we see the recent acquisition of bushland on a steep contour in Clive Howe, and the stormwater reserve in the Woodhouse Road Stage 1 subdivision. From this perspective, it is also possible to view the impact the current and future residential developments will have on the village. Especially considering the higher density and larger houses that will result. For decades, Patumahoe growth has been slow and measured, and now it is more than doubling in population numbers within a few years. If all the land currently designated or under development is taken up, the Patumahoe village area population will rise to 2,500. For reference, the size of Tuakau in the 2005 census. Our project was implemented to work in partnership with community and council to find ways to mitigate the negative effects of this, while accommodating the need for growth. Slide 3: Categories 1. Village character Village To determine genuine village priorities we 2. Village aesthetic Village collated the information received during 3. Multi-use community centre Multiconsultation and divided it into categories: 4. Planning Zoning issues 1. Village Character 5. Transport 2. Village Aesthetic 6. Natural Environment 3. Multi-Use community centre 7. History/Heritage 4. Planning Zoning issues 8. Parks & Recreational Land 5. Transport Traffic, Walkways, Cycleways, Public Transport 6. Natural environment Ecological corridors, regeneration and pest control 7. History/Heritage 8. Parks & Recreational Land Each category was considered in the following manner: Suggestions received from the community; Planning advice received from council low impact design and spatial planners, Additional information relating to existing council plans or proposed changes. As many of these categories overlap, proposals or solutions for one often impacts positively on others. Alternatively, when viewed from multiple aspects detrimental impacts on other categories can be identified and alternate or modified proposals can be designed. Conclusions drawn in each category are accurate as of October 2011. All these categories and connections have been considered when developing our submissions to Auckland Council. We acknowledge that these conclusions will change over time and our proposal to Auckland Council reflects this.

In addition, each sporting club with facilities existing in Patumahoe, were approached with the request of their facility needs for at least 30 years into the future. This is critical to planning Patumahoes future requirements because the contour of the land around the village centre - where sports is traditionally located - limits the options that will be available when residential development is taken up. Patumahoe Rugby indicated they would like an additional one or two fields to their existing fields. Patumahoe Cricket and Tennis clubs determined that existing facility capacity would be sufficient. Patumahoe Bowling Club requires an immediate upgrade to their green, and last year underwent a review process for the club. However, they are still in a situation at present where they require funding for a new green and continuing maintenance. Planning advice and approaches were also given by planners from the Low Impact Design team within Auckland Council, and further advice was obtained from planners within the spatial planning team. Existing legislation was referenced, and submissions towards the Auckland Plan, and Local Board plans were made. We will outline how we began the process in the following slides: Slide 4: Ecological corridors and sites On advice from the Low Impact Design planners, we identified the ecological corridors and sites within and around Patumahoe that or of significance, or provide access corridors between community areas. These include features such as streambeds, the summit of Patumahoe Hill as the highest point in the village, native bush areas, natural water features, waterfalls etc. At this stage, no consideration is given to ownership as this exercise is used to provide the basic framework by identifying locations which will never be built environments. Slide 5: Walkways & cycleways Once this framework has been established, it becomes possible to see likely walking and cycling routes . Within the village priority would be given to routes that link natural environments and amenities, such as access to waterfalls and bush, or links between residential development and schools, playcentres, retail and sports/community facilities. Priority would also be given to supporting cycling as a serious transport mode between the village and Pukekohe. Increasing traffic volumes and increasing numbers of cyclists combined with roads not designed for both is an area needing an integrated approach. Build it and they will come really does work.

Slide 6: Zoning Patumahoe is identified as requiring 3.0 ha of commercial zones by the DGS. We believe that identification of the location of this landuse is critical to enhancing the liveable areas of Patumahoe while still allowing economic activity and growth. We ask that commercial zoning within Patumahoe be divided by category and these categories will cater to different types of business while not prohibiting them. Category 1: Retail, hospitality and professional office spaces. Category 2: Trades and light industry Category 3: Heavy industry Category 1 will be encouraged and supported within the central village area, with the other categories being located and supported at greater distances from the hub. Both community consultation and planning advice identify the currently owned council reserves as the most ideal place for Category 1, with the added requirement that existing green spatial areas are retained and enhanced alongside development. This gives council a unique opportunity to strategically design a village centre that will accommodate planned growth, while maintaining and enhancing existing community social, cultural and historical values. We map possible locations for these categories we can see how considered develop will enhance the community hub that currently exists. Slide 7: Suitable land for active sports reserves These sites are identified because of their location, contour and geological character.

Slide 8: Basic groundwork for preliminary Village Spatial plan When the previous four slides are overlaid one over the other, it becomes apparent that a sound base for a Village Spatial Plan has been created

Patumahoe Village Inc Notes for presentation to Local Board 6 March 2012 Page 4 of 17

Slide 9: Including the existing village structure ..especially when you include the existing village structure. This was the basis used to determine how to best meet the needs of Patumahoe Village for years to come so we can take the priorities given by consultation and planning advice and apply them to this groundwork. For an example of how this can work we can look at this area here indicate Whakaupoko project and purple highlighted properties for landuse change Slides 10-13 relate to a successful partnership of community and Council, with our community group partners Whakaupoko Landcare who also are represented in the Village Inc committee

Slide 14: Whakaupoko Landcare project and rezoning it requires Before we begin to show what can be achieved with a commitment to partnership from Auckland Council, here is an example of how community consultation, property owners and Auckland Council can work together to get a positive outcome for all. This project required only coordination between stakeholders so was possible to initiate immediately. The smell of a Chicken Farm on the Village boundary and a proposed walkway on the Village boundary connecting bush has been the catalyst. We will be making a written submission for a Landuse change to finalise the project. In line with comments received during consultation, we support the current request for change of Landuse for the properties identified below: A: CT number: NA39A/275 Legal Description: Lot 1 DP 82415 Area: 0.8094 Change from RURAL to RESIDENTIAL. Already within DGS and connects adjoining property noted in B to existing residential area. B: CT number: NA139D/495 Legal Description: Lot 2 DP211908 Area: 3.1125 Change from RURAL to RESIDENTIAL. Adjoining DGS on boundary line, and change of landuse will allow compensatory development of residential as existing chicken farm is removed. Consultation has indicated this extra residential area is considered preferable to existing land use.

C: CT number: NZ139D/496 Legal Description: Lot 3 DP211908 Area: 5614 Change from RURAL to RURAL-RESIDENTIAL or appropriate lifestyle blocks. Project with Whakaupoko Landcare and Auckland Council allows for public access across land to link existing native bush reserves Clive Howe and Henrys Bush. These reserves currently have no walking track access, and this would be the first such off road access in the village. Steep land contour makes it unsuitable for alternative primary production use. A brief summary of the benefits to all in the community are as follows: 1 The chicken farm located so close to the Village and within 250 metres of the School, although well run everyone would love to see it disappear. This provides the Landowner an option where they can discontinue farming chickens and not be financially disadvantaged. 2 The 3 zoning changes will result in a greater population in a part of the Village that is ideally located for more people. The School is no more than 300m from any of the existing properties and no main roads are crossed to get to the school or main Village area 3 The current proposed walkway can be potentially further enhanced with securing of permanent access and further area for revegetation in the gully area that will benefit all. 4 This proposal requires no commitment of funds from Auckland Council.
.

Slides 15 -20: Pictures of Auckland Transport initiative Traffic calming An example of how important it is to have a Patumahoe Village Spatial Plan for Auckland Transport to refer to is shown by the recent installation of traffic calming measures in Patumahoe village. Once again, although we agree with the intent we believe that best practice and outcomes are achieved when a one-size-fits-all approach is only one of the possible methods of implementation. In our previous submissions to Auckland Council we had also indicated that we would like traffic calming devices to be installed at the four road entrances to the village. We proposed planting and signage at entrances to the built area, in conjunction with cobblestone (or similar) strips to physically remind drivers that they need to reduce speed and are now entering a built environment, What we required from Auckland Council and Transport was review, consents and roadworks the rest would have been a community project, Without consultation or notification, the new traffic calming measures were installed as part of a Franklin wide initiative around rural schools with a roll of 200 or more. Unfortunately this project has led to confusion on the part of pedestrians, cyclists and drivers alike and has created pinch points in the road that
Patumahoe Village Inc Notes for presentation to Local Board 6 March 2012 Page 6 of 17

increases the likelihood of accident and injury, at a location where none previously existed, Comments received from the community has indicated that the other additions further down the road in Patumahoe are also hazards, as kids ride into the traffic to avoid the build-outs and also, get stuck in the designed slot with their bicycles, unable to turn their front wheel to avoid sticking out in the roadway. Pushchairs and prams avoid these points altogether, and drivers and pedestrians alike are unsure of whether these are formal crossing points, Alongside these safety concerns is the visual impact of large neon signs and uprights in a rural village that despite mixed vehicle use and high traffic volume, does not have traffic lights.

Note corner behind is only 60 metres from the kerb. Good visibility Yeah, Right
Throw in a truck even more room Yeah Right!!! (maximum vehicle width = 2.6m)

We believe that a formal documented Village Spatial Plan for Patumahoe would avoid future anomalies such as this, while allowing improved safety in a manner consistent with the village as a whole.

Slides 21 - 23: Increased costs can result from regulatory requirements coupled with the inability (or reluctance) to adjust to individual situations For example, the Hunter Rood walkway loop which we fully support. This is a recreational and well utilised route, which poses concerns on the two legs that are along Woodhouse Road and Patumahoe Road. When FDC was still operational, much work had been done to secure funding and donations so that a slag footpath could be constructed at a cost of $30,000. For this, users of the recreational route would be removed from the 100km roads and vehicles. However, FDC did not issue a consent. When the matter was raised with the new Auckland Council, Auckland Transport required this walkway to be upgraded to a concrete footpath and costs are now $110,000 for the Woodhouse leg, and $130,000 for the Patumahoe stretch. We believe the decision to provide this route is one to be applauded but consider the following points to be relevant: In our submission for the change of Landuse to residential for properties in Patumahoe Road, we submitted that in accordance with the landuse change should come a requirement to extend the footpath from Patumahoe School to the boundary of the properties. This would have reduced the cost to Auckland Transport and have been a reasonable request to make of the property owners; The requirement for a concrete footpath outside the village built environment seems inappropriate. If lateral thinking had been applied it may have been possible to class this portion of the route as a bridleway as this photo shows it is used as a route for horseriders as well as recreational walkers and joggers Slide 22 and once again reduced costs, appropriate finish for rural environment, and suitable continuation of concrete pathway in the built area, Slide 23 (duplicate of Slide 21) - From our understanding the footpath is to be created in two stages, the first being the Patumahoe leg, and the second the Woodhouse Road leg. As it is not obvious how this priority came about, we submit that the most dangerous part of the route is the Woodhouse Road leg as drivers are moving at 100km already and do not need to slow down until the village, and the Patumahoe Rd leg drivers are already at speeds of 50km or less having just driven through the village and most would be aware of the railway crossing that occurs just outside the village itself. Our priority would have been the Woodhouse Road leg, As no Patumahoe Village spatial plan exists, this walkway and its aesthetics did not have a reference document to apply these criteria to, and so once again a standalone project is undertaken that has significant financial costs and impacts on the whole village without consideration for a wider view. We are aware also that the decision (which once again we support) was made without the inclusion of the original submitters, the Travelwise contact person at Patumahoe school, or Patumahoe Village Inc all of whom have made submissions on this route and had appropriate knowledge and information to hand.

Slide 24: Rural village with a green heart The community consultation overwhelmingly indicated that residents value the green space that currently exists in the middle of Patumahoe village in the form of the council reserve which is home to a variety of clubs and facilities. Just as equally, they consider this location to be the most suitable for the increase in Category 1 commercial development, so this dual requirement is most important to consider for long term planning and creating a Patumahoe Village Spatial Plan. However it is managed, we believe that with forward planning, increased development can be accompanied with enhanced liveability and reduced ongoing costs. Slide 25 : Initial proposal of pushing out reserve to the side Village centre Whether by negotiation with landowners for change of use, fundraising and purchase by community, or long term leasing from Council we believe the first step towards maintaining and improving the liveability of Patumahoe will be the acquisition of land to replace the loss of reserve that will eventually occur in the middle of Patumahoe. In this instance, Auckland Council is in a position to address this situation, as the land is currently council owned. Also, development contributions will be received towards the purchase of land as developments occur creating a funding source that can be supplemented by fundraising and grant applications. This is a possible land acquisition that shows how a staged reconfiguration can begin. Land necessary for continuing the active sports fields is identified, Land required to accommodate a central facility in a suitable location is shown this will also be the location of upgraded tennis and netball courts when required, after this stage part of the central area will be available for rezoning as a village green with accompanying Category 1 commercial and residential business. Advantages of Option 1 Existing location of sports clubs and activities is preserved, and enhanced by addition of other uses within a multi-use hub. Development and design of commercial area in this pivotal central location is determined by local community, Allow for staged replacement of existing clubs by commercial zoning and village green in line with private development, and without interfering with continued use,

Patumahoe Village Inc Notes for presentation to Local Board 6 March 2012 Page 9 of 17

Cultivates a green heart to the village, which includes a formally designated village green and which is often not possible in established communities Disadvantages of Option 1 Land adjoining current reserve and most appropriate for extension is already zoned residential and therefore is expensive to purchase. Patumahoe Village Inc supports the rezoning of alternate land as a negotiation tool, if Auckland Council is willing to undertake it with the owners of this property Under Franklin District Council guidelines, using their population figures and their commitment to Karaka Sportspark it is unlikely that Patumahoe will be in line with the purchase of extra sports fields. However, as mentioned previously population figures are inaccurate, and our submission defines our perspective in terms of allocation methods for rural villages. Our plan also identifies that current reserve space is ideally placed for future commercial development, and timely purchase of extra reserve space will not only guarantee continued village aesthetics and values, but make sure the heart of the village is not fragmented in the future by lack of available undeveloped land. Results in surfeit of active sports fields for a period, while development and redesign of central area takes place. This can be accommodated by a change of ownership to a trust, community-council partnership or a lease purchase by the community of the land that needs to be redesigned. Slide 26: Option 2: an alternative approach.. relocate active sports fields in other location and keep village area for multiuse facility and Category 1 commercial and residential. Advantages of Option 2 Creates a natural barrier between future higher density residential development and existing lifestyle blocks, in a location geographically and ecologically suited for its purpose, Can be purchased and developed without impacting on existing use areas. Becomes first stage in redevelopment of existing council reserve, Rural zoning reduces cost of acquisition, although Patumahoe Village Inc supports rezoning of suitable land as a negotiation tool as a method of compensating landowners for purchase, remaining development levies can be utilised for development of land and other priorities, Allows for considered development of community reserves which may or may not include other community uses, such as skateparks or exercise circuits, Creates islands of green that can be linked in a spatial plan within the built form of the village while maintaining the central green heart, Will allow parking spaces to be utilised as commuter spaces during the week, and sports parking on the weekends without interfering with the commercial functioning of the village, Will link to proposed railway corridor route and highlights existing boundary native bush plantings.
Patumahoe Village Inc Notes for presentation to Local Board 6 March 2012 Page 10 of 17

Disadvantages of Option 2 Under Franklin District Council guidelines, using their population figures and their commitment to Karaka Sportspark it is unlikely that Patumahoe will be able to justify purchase of extra sports fields. However, as mentioned previously population figures are inaccurate, and our submission defines our perspective in terms of allocation methods for rural villages. Our plan also identifies that current reserve space is ideally placed for future commercial development, and timely purchase of extra reserve space will not only guarantee continued village aesthetics and values, but make sure the heart of the village is not fragmented in the future by lack of available undeveloped land. Results in surfeit of active sports fields for a period, while development and redesign of central area takes place. This can be accommodated by a change of ownership to a trust, community-council partnership or a lease purchase by the community of the land that needs to be redesigned. Requires relocation of changing facilities for new sports fields while club functions and meetings can be accommodated in a new multi-use facility.

Slide 27: Village centre Whatever the final choice is, when defined viewed from an outcomes perspective the requirement is this: Identify land acquisition that will: Allow for future consolidation of existing sports facilities into one centre which also will cater to a wider remit, Allow for upgrading of tennis courts when suitable (and addition of netball court) to be included alongside this centre, Maintain as minimum existing active sports green fields (ie. two rugby fields, which accommodate a cricket pitch) this is not shown here in this example When all upgrades and consolidation is achieved, then reconfiguration of remaining council reserve can be undertaken to include Category 1 commercial zoning & residential AND a formal village green appropriate to the rural village category that Patumahoe has Retain existing 100yr leased Patumahoe Rugby clubrooms and Patumahoe Volunteer Fire Station. This is what a considered Patumahoe Village Spatial Plan can achieve without much more than commitment by Auckland Council to implement the plan, and allocation of development contributions as they are collected.

Slide 28: Consolidation facility size screen shot of community centre in Patumahoe Multi-purpose centre We believe that consolidation and considered reconfiguration of the current facilities will be the best solution to maintain and enhance community life, We believe that if coordinated with ongoing residential development, the development contributions can make a good funding base for this centre. Once again from an outcome perspective the requirements are: Colloborative consolidation of existing sports facilities and playing areas aligned with a Patumahoe Village Spatial Plan, Inclusion of wider community of stakeholders in design and process to accommodate and serve the diversity of community, eg. Playcentre, arts & crafts, older residents, teenagers etc, Centre appropriately sized for Patumahoe, Pre-empt the requirement for ongoing maintenance costs and upgrades of separate facilities, Intention to become self-sustaining by generating income from commercial uses and increased patronage. Slide 29: Aerial shot of Moutere hills We are in the process of scheduling a trip with initial stakeholders to investigate successful models on a similar scale. This will also encourage frank discussion of ideas, as well as upskilling stakeholders with planning considerations and effects.

Slide 30: Time warp jump to a possible outcome. Short video of a 3D model, using real-sized models to show how the consolidation of facilities and commercial space can fit into existing reserve. Both Patumahoe Rugby clubrooms and Patumahoe Volunteer Firestation are preserved in their current locations NOTE: This is just a visual aid to discussion, our submission is that a professional planning team work on a Patumahoe Village Structure & Spatial Plan for the community.

Slide 32: Walkways & Cycling infrastructure We believe Franklin has an opportunity to become known for cycle recreation and tourism. Nelson City Council has embraced this approach and as well as creating specific trails, have also just identified existing routes that are suitable for cyclists to travel on. We would expect the Patumahoe Village Spatial plan to include a network of possible walking/cycling tracks that can be accommodated by development design and that creates a cohesive network of links within the built village environment. We are also investing a railway corridor to begin a wider remit to connect to other communities. Both of these considerations can be accommodated, without Auckland Transport requirements as they are off road. Given the flat nature of topography, the school, the central location of the village, and the new peripheral subdivision developments, there is a clear need for the provision of safe walking infrastructure on connecting streets and roads. Recreational cycling is also popular in the area and there are opportunities to provide for safe cycling for children to access the school, the village centre, and the sports fields. Increasing local development and increasing development in adjacent villages and communities (Kingseat) is inevitably leading to more traffic which increases the focus on transport safety. While there is a road hierarchy map in place prepared by Franklin District Council there is a need to reconsider that plan, in order to ensure that finer grain requirements such as the provision for walking and cycling is provided for in transport planning documents. Transport and traffic concerns are a major priority for our community. The development of a Patumahoe Transport Master Plan is urgent and an area that the community has asked for and will continue to request a collaboration with Auckland Transport. This is to be a fine grain analysis of walking, cycling, parking, access traffic, through and heavy traffic. Considering key origins and destinations and identifying and prioritising transport improvements/development. Cycle routes signposted? However, we do believe that traffic calming measures such as the ones outlined previously, will be required especially when the Kingseat Road development goes ahead. Slide 33: How can this be achieved?? Funding and commitment Development contributions from ongoing residential developments will go towards providing a funding base, alongside fundraising efforts and grant applications. We propose that a specific Patumahoe Village Planning committee/board is created. Representatives from each existing club
Patumahoe Village Inc Notes for presentation to Local Board 6 March 2012 Page 13 of 17

will be on the board, in order to act as a conduit of information to and from each club. Also, invitations to the local schools, playcentre, fire service, businesspeople and residents will also be issued so that a full and reflective view of the community can be held when setting priorities and projects. When development takes place, the board will already have a list of projects prioritised in order of importance. These priorities will obviously change depending on which development takes place and the scale of impact. To allow for this, each time a development is in consent or implementation a review of this list will then be undertaken, with consultation and communication to the local community about changes via meetings, newsletters and website postings. When this process is completed, the board will confirm with the Local Board where Patumahoe would like the Parks & Reserves, and Community levies to be spent in accordance with the result.

Patumahoe Village Inc Notes for presentation to Local Board 6 March 2012 Page 14 of 17

Advantages of this proposal: Village Planning Committee/Board will reflect the views and priorities of the Patumahoe community as it naturally changes due to growth and over time, Local community members are continually upskilling in terms of planning and growth considerations and this results in a wider view of how different needs interact and are accommodated, Local projects to offset this growth are determined and funded by development contributions as growth occurs and so acts as a restorative balance for village life; Projects are determined by local stakeholders and those with the best insight into their community with support from the Local Board, Local Board members are elected every three years, and it is likely that during that time, many do not have direct knowledge of small communities such as Patumahoe, this structure will allow good decision making to occur despite this, A long term vision of Patumahoe can ensure a coordinated transition that strengthens and enhances current village networks sporting, social, business and schooling as the population increases. We ask that our Local Board assist with the continuation of this community service by purchasing space on our local website and within our quarterly newsletters. Slides 35 - 36: What our submission to Auckland Council regarding the LTCCP will include: To summarise we ask for: We would like the Local Board to support General LTCCP 2012-2022 and the 2012-2022 LTP to include: In general: That development contributions to be allocated within communities, and allocated with substantive community involvement in determining priorities and projects, A Rural village designation to allow for development of separate reserve allocation for village greens, and acknowledgement of different requirements for parks and reserves allocations to offset the lack of other amenities for residents and surrounding areas, Auckland Transport planning be closely coordinated with the spatial plans to prevent disjointed projects, and improve outcomes, Establish a community planning framework that can act as a reference for Local Boards and community groups to see how partnerships between organisations can improve outcomes and support initiatives when they occur, Outcome driven legislation and plans rather than specific rules which apply to all, and are relevant to few.
