BOROUGH OF PORIRUA

TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1953

Hearing of Objections to Porirua Borough District Scheme
(Makara Sections 1 and 3)

The Porirua Borough Council hereby gives notice that the
hearing of objections to the Porirua Borough District Scheme
(Makara Sections 1 and 3) will commence in the Council
Chambers, Station Road, Porirua, at 9.30 a.m., on Thursday
the 22nd day of April 1965, and will continue as there
arranged from time to time and place to place until all objec-
tions and witnesses have been heard.

All persons who wish to be heard in support of or opposi-
tion to any objection shall notify the council accordingly
at least three days before that date.

The following is a summary of the subject matters of
objections received by the council:

1. Minister of Works:

(a) The minimum side yard requirement of 15 ft for apart-
ment houses in Ordinance II, clause 3 (4), is unnecessary
and contrary to the public interest.

(b) The requirement of the proviso (b) (i) in clause 3 (4),
Ordinance II, that side yards shall be increased by 1 ft for
every additional 2 ft of height of buildings exceeding 10 ft
in height is, when read in conjunction with the requirements
concerning the minimum width of side yards, unsatisfactory,
unnecessary and contrary to the public interest in the case of :

(i) Single-storey detached or semi-detached dwelling
houses, and

(ii) Apartment houses less than 22 ft in height.

(c) The provisions of Ordinance III, clause 2, concerning
the “Minimum Standard Frontage” of sections in Industrial
A and A1 zones when related to the minimum area will result
in such sections having a minimum depth of about 225 ft; a
section of these proportions will in almost all cases be difficult
to use and will result in inconvenient and unnecessarily
expensive development which is considered to be unnecessary,
undesirable, and contrary to the public interest.

(d) The provision of Ordinance III, clause 2, concerning a
“Minimum Standard Frontage” of 264 ft for school sites in
excess of 3 acres would invariably require the inclusion in
the site of land costly to develop, and therefore more suited
for residential use, with a consequent increase to the com-
munity in the cost of such sites which is undesirable, unneces-
sary, and contrary to the public interest.

(e) The application of the definition of “height” in Ordin-
ance V, clause 3 (2) (a), is undesirable, unnecessary, and
contrary to the public interest, in the case of sections intended
for single-storey detached or semi-detached dwelling houses
in that it will result in side yards excessive to the needs of the
use and the consequential increase in width of sections will
increase the cost of development of the State housing schemes.

(f) The provision of Ordinance VI, clause 2 (1) and clause
3 (8), requiring the provision and surfacing of parking areas
in association with the development of dwelling houses, semi-
detached and terraced houses in that it will result in an un-
desirable increase in the cost of development of the State
housing schemes.

2. Porirua Licensing Trust:

The use of the term “public space” is ambiguous when
related to residential hotels and the requirement for off-street
car parking space in Ordinance VI, Vehicle Parking, Loading,
etc., Clause II, Private Parking subclause (2) for other sites.
The effect is to require parking spaces to be doubled under
the provision of “guest rooms” and is therefore unreasonable.

3. Porirua Borough Council:

Objection is made to the non inclusion in the Code of
Ordinances for electric power, street lighting, and telephone
reticulation to be placed underground in all new subdivisions
and wherever practicable when overhead reticulation is being
renewed or extended.

A full statement of all objections may be examined at the
offices of the council, Station Road, Porirua, during normal
office hours.

Dated at Porirua this 18th day of March 1965.

For the Porirua Borough Council:

4768 R. G. WALSH, Town Clerk.
