Based on the proposed newCar Parking Policy currently under consideration by the Town, a cash-in-lieu contribution of$5000 per bay is proposed. Therefore a $10,000 contribution towards providing parking in thelocality could be requested.With regard to the cash-in-lieu contribution, it is considered that it could be spent as part of theprovision of ninety degree bays within the road reserve on Gregory Street and adjacent to thesite, similar to the bays provided on Nanson Street when the small bar was approved.It is apparent that the two adjoining lots have always functioned as one property; with existingparking straddling the boundary and the properties in common ownership.The property fronting Gregory Street has available space for car parking and as an office(although vacant at the present) parking will be available on weekends and after hours (shouldthe applicant consider extending trading hours to the evening).In approving this application, the applicant should be required to submit a parking managementplan which outlines how to achieve maximum benefit from the available space on site. Thisshould include details on accessibility by both staff and customers and an undertakingregarding reciprocal use of the adjoining space at No. 10 Gregory Street.H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\13 MINUTES\FEBRUARY 2013\B DV.DOCX 27
