-The facades of buildings should be modulated and proportioned to present an interesting, fine grained and visually rich picture to the street.

-Roof lines should be varied, with plant and machinery hidden where possible and corners accentuated.

3.Earthworks

a.For earthworks that is a restricted discretionary activity in Activity Tables 5a and 5b., the following assessment criteria apply in addition to any criteria specified for the relevant activity in clause 3.2 of the Auckland-wide - Earthworks rules:

i.Sediment management for sites which expose more than 300m²

•In all sub-precincts the mitigation of the effects of earthworks should include a combination of the following measures, so as to minimise sediment runoff and discharge:

-stabilised construction entranceways

-silt fences

-clean water diversion drains

-surface flow interception measures (contour drains and bunds)

-sediment retention ponds (floating outlet)

-decanting earth bunds (floating or fixed outlet)

-progressive stabilisation of earth-worked areas with grass, straw or hay mulch following topsoil spreading as soon as final contours are established and/or when the exposed area will not be worked on for four weeks or more

-additional contingency interception measures comprising: additional down slope earth bunds, super silt fencing and stormwater wetlands (pre-commissioning) as may be appropriate

-essential elements of sediment retention pond design are:

-a larger volume is beneficial as retention time is increased

-a floating decant discharge system that discharges water from the surface of the pond

-a discharge rate of 3 litres per second per hectare of catchment draining to the pond

-a forebay pond

-a wide level spreader at the inlet.

•Once earthworks have been completed in the Stream Protection A Area and where parks and open spaces are created in the Stream Protection B Area, reconditioning of surface soils should occur in areas that will not be subject to subsequent secondary earthworks to ensure that these areas retain the ability to absorb rainfall. In general the minimum depth of reconditioning should be 400mm.

•Earthworks should only alter or disturb a secondary flow path where a satisfactory alternative flow path is available.

ii.Earthworks in the Park Interface and Piripiri Point Protection Areas to form the ridgeline shown in Precinct Plan 5:

•The eastern and northern slopes of the ridgeline should achieve and retain a natural transition in its landform profile with that of the adjacent landform in the Long Bay Regional Park and or Piripiri Point Ridge.

•The profile of the earth works to the south and west of the ridgeline should align with the required contouring of land within Long Bay sub-precinct B.

iii.Landscape Enhancement Area:

•Earthworks on sites which contain land identified as Landscape Enhancement Area should provide landscape enhancement planting in the enhancement area in accordance with an approved planting plan.

•Planting should be maintained for a period of not less than two years and any plants that fail to thrive during that time should be replaced.

•Planting should be undertaken in the planting season immediately following the completion of site works to the satisfaction of the council.

•Any earthworks should not result in changes to the profile of the escarpment and works to create stable building platforms should be limited to the area of the site outside the Landscape Enhancement Area.

iv.Earthworks in excess of 300m² of Surface Area of Bare Earth in Stream Protection B Area:

•The earthworks should integrate with the design contours shown in Precinct Plan 5 and any framework plan for the development area, or where the earthworks are for only part of the development area.

•The earthworks plan should be consistent with an approved framework plan

•Appropriate mitigation methods are installed as per clause 3(a)(i) above

i.Matters should be accordance with an approved framework plan

ii.Minor variations in secondary roading and reserve layout that improves urban design and environmental outcomes may be appropriate

iii.The streetscape design including carriageway design, footpaths, berms, vehicle crossing, parking bays, street lighting and street trees, utilities and on-site stormwater management for roads and shared pedestrian/vehicle spaces should provide for an integrated, safe and high quality environment.

iv.Site sizes and dimensions should be appropriate for the intended housing typology, ensure appropriate orientation of development in terms of fronting streets and ensuring privacy between dwellings, and able to accommodate stormwater treatment devices (such as rain tanks)

v.The design and management of rear lanes and accessways should consider the need for access by emergency vehicles, delivery and rubbish collection and whether they provide thoroughfare for pedestrians and cyclists

vi.Detailed landscape concepts for proposed reserves and public areas, and areas to be set aside and protected and/or vested in the council

vii.The design of pedestrian and cycle routes should include appropriate landscaping, fencing, pavements and lighting

viii.The required planting plans for all Protection and Management Areas and any Lizard Conservation Management Plan should provide sufficient detail to ensure that sustainable outcomes can be achieved.

ix.On site and off-site stormwater management techniques should be appropriate to the Stream protection Area and integrated with other activities.

x.In addition to the above, in the Long Bay sub-precinct C Area 2:

•The subdivision design north of the Awaruku ridgeline should provide, for sites that can accommodate an intensity of development similar to that of the Long Bay sub-precinct C Area 1 (terrace housing and low-rise apartments) and for less intensity of development south of the Awaruku ridgeline where development should provide for detached dwellings with gaps between buildings.

•Subdivision design should provide for views into and through the Long Bay sub-precinct G to the Hauraki Gulf.

•The design of subdivisions and building platforms, roads, accessways, driveways, underground and surface infrastructure, stormwater mitigation techniques, landscaping, planting and fencing should not adversely affect the archaeological sites within the Long Bay sub-precinct G.

•A consistent treatment of the boundary with the Long Bay sub-precinct G should be achieved through the subdivision design using either landscaped earth batters or low (less than 1m high) retaining walls or a combination of both.

•Retaining walls treatments should be consistent to avoid a clash along the interface with the Long Bay sub-precinct G.
