APPENDIX 2 - SPECIFIC APPLICATION - RURAL SUBDIVISION AND

DEVELOPMENT

of 309


2A GENERAL

This Rotorua Civil Engineering industry Standard (Engineering Code of Practice) applies to all Subdivision and Development within the Rotorua District. The following clauses clarify Rural issues.

2B CONSENT APPLICATIONS Plan Scales may be chosen and varied in order to produce the desired information on plans of reasonable size. However, all information must be clearly shown including topographic information.

2C ROADING

2C.1 a) Rural Residential All new rural roads will be sealed unless resolved otherwise by Council Kerb and channel will be required where necessary to control stormwater runoff. Generally this shall be where the water table has a longitudinal grade of 1 in 20 or greater. Footpaths will be required in all areas where pedestrians will regularly walk to centres of public interest such as shops, schools, bus stops etc. Street lighting will be required in Rural Residential type areas and intersection flag lighting at all intersections with State Highways or where one route is a major traffic carrier and where warning of an intersection approaching is required on high speed routes. Stormwater runoff from new rural roads must be legally protected where it crosses private property. All property culverts and water tables shall be protected from erosion by adequate methods. For existing culverts, reduced cover may be acceptable over pipes that are shown to be sound. In places where there is not 10 metres between the centreline of the existing public road carriageway and the property boundary, upon subdivision, sufficient land should be vested in Council to provide adequate sight distances. Where the survey work can be incorporated into the subdivisional survey the costs of the survey shall be met by the subdivider. Where the road vesting survey is isolated from the subdivision survey, Council will pay such agreed survey costs.

2C.1 b) Rural

All new rural roads will be sealed unless resolved otherwise by Council.

of 309


Kerb and channel will be required where necessary to control stormwater runoff. Flag lighting shall be installed at all intersections with State Highways or where one route is a major traffic carrier and where warning of an intersection approaching is required on high speed routes. All property culverts and water tables shall be protected from erosion by adequate methods. For existing culverts, reduced cover may be acceptable over pipes that are shown to be sound. In places where there is not 10 metres between the centreline of the existing public road carriageway and the property boundary, upon subdivision, sufficient land should be vested in Council to provide adequate sight distances. Where the survey work can be incorporated into the subdivisional survey the costs of the survey shall be met by the subdivider. Where the road vesting survey is isolated from the subdivision survey, Council will pay such agreed survey costs.

2C.2 Vehicle Entrances

Vehicle entrance berm crossings shall be concreted if the road across the frontage of the property is constructed with kerb and channel and footpaths, otherwise all entrances on sealed roads shall be sealed. Entrances requiring forming and construction shall be - existing house or commercial entrances, existing tanker track, ROW/Access lot and other frequently used entrances.

2C.3 R.O.W. and Access Lots Rural residential ROW and Access Lots shall be formed in accordance with the requirements for the urban area except that stormwater control by other than kerb and channel may be utilised. As for public roads, stormwater runoff which crosses private property must be legally protected. Where the public road fronting the ROW/Access lot is not sealed, the ROW/Access lot may be formed to an all weather metalled standard with adequate provision for stormwater disposal. In all situations adequate provision should be made in the Easement Documentation for cost sharing and maintenance standards. The documentation is to be approved by the District Engineer.

2D UTILITY SERVICES Reticulated Utility Services, including Power and Telecom, shall be provided in all areas where such services already exist and may be required where such services will be provided within 5 years.

2D.1 Sewage Disposal

of 309


Resource consents required for sewage disposal including consent for disposal of effluent from septic tanks shall be obtained prior to subdivision or development consent. Sewage disposal proposals can only be considered adequate when such consents have been obtained.

2D.2 Stormwater Resource consents required for stormwater disposal shall be obtained prior to subdivision or development consent. Stormwater disposal proposals can only be considered adequate when such consents have been obtained.

2D.3 Water Supply

Resource consents required for Water Supply purposes shall be obtained prior to works commencing on site and the conditions of any transferable consent shall be advised to Council within 7 days of receipt for approval/objection if necessary. Water supply proposals can only be considered adequate when such consents have been obtained. All lots created by the subdivision of a lot serviced by a Rural Public Water Supply, shall be serviced by the extension of mains, the provision of connections and the payment of capital scheme contributions as necessary at cost to the Subdivider. Upon subdivision or development, easements shall be laid off over public water mains crossing private property at cost to the subdivider/developer. The costs to be limited to cover easements in close proximity to the subdivision survey.

Isolated survey work shall be carried out at cost to Council upon agreement.

of 309


APPENDIX 3 - SPECIFIC APPLICATION -

CROSS-LEASE SUBDIVISIONS

of 309


3A GENERAL

Under the Resource Management Act, new Cross-leases have become a type of subdivision, subject to the same controls. Council will now impose financial contributions and standard subdivision conditions for the installation of water, sewer and stormwater connections, construction of jointly used accessways and restrictions on building and design where land hazards are present on site. The development and construction of houses under cross-leasing has the same effect on services as standard subdivision. Due to minimum density requirements becoming more lenient, a greater demand may be placed on services. The inclusion of cross-leases as subdivisions under the Resource Management Act 1991, was deliberate and the same considerations should be given to both freehold land subdivisions and cross-lease subdivisions. Although lessees are owners in common of all the land including the land under the individual dwellings, and only the buildings are leased off each other, it is common for areas to be delineated which lessees agree to `not occupy’. This causes problems within on-site private services, particularly when servicing has been carried out haphazardly or prior to the cross-leasing. Often services run through neighbouring lease areas which the lessee has agreed not to occupy, or, particularly in the case of sewer drains, a communal piped drain system serves the buildings. For conventional land subdivision, protective easements or common drain agreements could be registered on respective titles, to ensure protection for such services. Public services and connections are protected by legislation. The situation is not so straightforward for jointly owned cross-lease properties. Council’s standards require service connections to the boundary of each subdivided lot. Cross-lease subdivision is then undertaken on an existing lot and entails the use of private drains and services. It is conflict between separate lessees over use and/or maintenance of these private services which can cause subsequent aggravation. It is possible and desirable to utilise the existing service connections and, where possible, separate on site private drains and services to each lease area. Where common services already exist, suitable provision for construction and maintenance should be incorporated into the lease agreements. It is essential that a services plan showing the location of services (water, sewerage, stormwater, power, telecom and gas) is submitted with applications for cross-lease approval.

STORMWATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM POLLUTION CONTROL UNIT:

ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN

PROTECTION OF PUBLIC AMENITY AND WATER QUALITY OF STORMWATER

SYSTEM DRAINS NETWORK DISCHARGES Aim

To protect the stormwater utilities asset liability in terms of meeting their Water Right issued under the Resource Management Act, thus protecting the environment.

To protect the physical structure of the stormwater drainage asset from the effects of contaminant discharges.

To protect the function of the stormwater drainage from the effects of contaminated discharges.

To protect the public and stormwater drainage workers’ health and safety from exposure or toxic or explosive pollutants.

To ensure that contaminants are not discharged to the stormwater drainage outside that allowed for by the Resource Consent.

To protect the public amenity value of the asset.

To protect and improve water quality in the District.

Management Strategy

Rainwater Discharge Premises connected or discharging to the stormwater system can only discharge rain waters into the system.

Contaminants (Resource Management Act description) “Contaminant” includes any substance (including gases, liquids, solids, and micro-organisms) or energy (excluding noise) or heat, that either by itself or in combination with the same, similar, or other substances, energy, or heat -

a) when discharged into water, changes or is likely to change the physical, chemical, or biological condition of water; or

b) when discharged onto or into land or into air, changes or is likely to change the physical, chemical, or biological condition of the land or air onto or into which it is discharged.

of 309


What Constitutes a Contaminant? � Harmful Substances � Pesticides • motor oil • antifreeze • brake fluid • diesel • transmission fluid • degreasers • petrol • radiator water • washing detergent

� Paints and Solvents • paints (all types) • paint thinners • paint strippers • rustproof coatings • turpentine � Recreational Products • swimming pool chlorine

waters • outboard motor oil • boat bilge water • spa pool water • boat sullage water

• insecticides • fungicides • rodent baits • herbicides • molluscides • wood preservatives

� Cleaning Products • caustic degreasers • disinfectants • detergents • drain & toilet cleaners • leather preservatives • dry cleaning agents • polishing agents • household cleaners

� Solids • grease / fats • dry solid wastes • fibrous, rope, plastics • cemented mass

� Colour

Principal Obligations

• Generally outside drains connect to stormwater and must not receive any contaminated water. Inside drains should not be connected to the stormwater system. (Inside drains are trade waste sewers). Contaminants must not be poured or washed into any stormwater drains.

• Areas used for storage of materials or for processing where contamination may occur by overflows, spills, or leakages, must not have any direct stormwater drain connections. These areas should be bunded for spill containment. With approval from the local authority they can be connected to trade waste sewers.

• Where an incident occurs the first priority is to prevent entry into the stormwater drains. A spill emergency kit should be available where there is a risk of spillages. This should contain absorbent material, a means to block the sewer grates, shovels and personal protective equipment.

• The Environmental Manager or other delegated person must be notified of any incident which may have an effect on the environment. All necessary steps must be taken to minimise the effect. Clean up must start immediately. The Environmental Manager or the delegated person must notify the appropriate authorities.

• The Fire Service should be called if the material is hazardous or if assistance is required.

of 309


Compliance Standards

Stormwater discharge into waterways from Council’s stormwater drains must meet the following conditions as detailed in the Resource Consents issued to the Stormwater Drainage Asset Managers.

THE STORMWATER DISCHARGE

� The stormwater discharge:

• Suspended Solids shall not exceed 150 g/m3.

• The discharge shall be substantially free of grease/oil.

� The effect of the stormwater drainage discharge on the receive waters shall meet the following conditions and standards.

• Natural water temperature not changed by more than 3° Celsius.

• Receiving waters shall not be tainted nor contain toxic substances nor emit odour.

• No destruction of natural aquatic life by reason of toxic substances

• Colour and clarity of water shall not be changed conspicuously.

• The oxygen content of receiving waters shall not be reduced to below 5.0 g/m3.

Compliance Procedures

SEWERAGE SYSTEM POLLUTION CONTROL ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN 1. What are Council’s Obligations Council has a duty and a legal obligation to: • Provide for the safe collection and disposal of the communities waste waters (sewage) • Provide and maintain a waste management plan which includes the provision for disposal of

liquid trade wastes • Provide for the disposal of the communities wastewater (sewage) into the sewerage (Waste

Water Treatment System) system subject to the regulations including Council’s trade waste bylaw

• To ensure that the sewerage users know what can and cannot be discharged • To ensure the safe disposal of sewerage products (compost) from the effects of accumulated

toxic substances • To protect the waste water system and treatment processes • To ensure costs charged reflect Council policy • To protect the health and safety of the public • To protect the environment • To ensure that the widest range of industries can be served Ratepayers connected to the utility sewerage system receive a benefit, and ability to discharge their waste wasters, including trade waste, into the sewerage system. The Sewerage Utility Operator (Council) is legally responsible for any discharges, and is obligated to ensure that all users (including trade premises occupiers) know what can and cannot be discharged into the sewerage system. 2 What is Council’s Means of Control? The Local Government Act, (including waste water and trade waste bylaws) mandates Council with a means of meeting its legal obligations in terms of controlling what can and cannot be discharged into Council’s sewerage system. Council has made bylaws, specifically trade waste bylaws, enabling the control (particularly for trade premise’s) of wastewater discharges. A trading premises occupier connected to the sewerage system is subjected to meet Council’s trade waste bylaws conditions relating to any aspect of the trade premises likely or actual waste water discharge into the sewer. 3. What is Trade Premises? Trade Premises means any premises used or intended to be used for carrying on any trade or industry.

Vehicle and Plant Wash Facility Pollution Control Requirements

Pollution Control Requirements

(A) STORMWATER CONTROL The Rotorua District Council’s Engineering Code of Practice requires you to guard against the entry of rainwater inflow or infiltration into Council’s Wastewater System(sewer) off your wash pad. The preferred solution is for you to provide a roof. However if you do not want to install a roof the Code has other various solutions(see over this page) such as installing a valve. Essentially a roof is high capital cost to you and low risk to Council, while a valve is low capital cost to you and a high risk to Council. There for the choice of a valve installation with it’s high inflow risk incorporates higher charges for monitoring. Build you pad well above ground level and contain it with a bund type structure, this will stop storm flow from coming onto the pad and also keep contaminated wash waters from leaving the pad. Your pad should also be of sufficient size so that all spray effluents can be contained on the pad or you will require screens to meet the building acts requirement.(see below on this page, Drainage (2)) (B) BUILDING ACT REQUIREMENTS (G14/VM1)

Treatment and Disposal (1) Discharge to a sewer with pre-treatment, as permitted by the Network Utility Operator. (2) Council, as the Sewerage Network Utility has Engineering Code of Compliance

requirements and trade waste bylaw requirements to be met, before permission is given to discharge trade wastewater into Council’s sewer.

(3) No grit, sand, bark etc is allowed to be discharged into the sewer, oils/grease (hydrocarbons)

are to be limited to below 20 grams per cubic metres in any discharge into the sewer. (4) Pre-treatment facilities that will enable the above requirement to be met need to be installed. Materials of Construction (1) All materials in contact with industrial liquid waste shall be resistant to corrosion, chemical

attack, and any abrasion or physical abuse that can be reasonably expected.

(2) Any corrosion allowance provided in the design of equipment handling liquid waste shall be adequate for the intended life of the facilities.

(3) The preferred solution is concrete. If another material is to be used please verify by a

suitably qualified engineer’s report, that this material will meet the Building Code (BA/G14/VM1/1.5) requirements.

Drainage Floor surfaces which are used to drain free flowing liquid should slope towards waste collection systems: (1) For non-hazardous wastes: no less that 1 in 80 for a travel distance of no more than 12m,

and

of 309


(2) Liquid waste shall be prevented from polluting adjacent property. A solution to this requirement is to provide some form of acceptable screening to contain any spray/waste water from polluting adjacent areas.

(B) For continual breaching of the bylaw, i.e, continually leaving the valve open to the sewer letting stormwater in, Council may apply to the district court for an injunction restraining the further continuance of the breach of the bylaw.

(C) For discharging a contaminated wash water into the waterways via a stormwater drain, (not washing the wash pad down thoroughly after use, or not ensuring that the valve to the stormwater drain is closed when the wash pad is in use) instant fines of up to $1000 may be issued, for continuing breaches of this nature, upon conviction, fines of up to $200,000 may be applied by the courts. A Bus firm in Auckland was fined approximately $15,000 for this type of offence.

w1 SUBDIVISION AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

w1.1 INTRODUCTION.

The Engineering Works and Services criteria specified below are the Performance Standards to be achieved in meeting the Minimum Engineering Requirements specified in Part Sixteen of this District Plan.

w1.2 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

EXPLANATION The following are the performance standards for subdivision activities. The Rotorua Civil Engineering Industry Standard 2000 is the technical document “approved” by Council for meeting these standards. Any subdivision or development which meets the Code will be deemed to comply with the performance standards contained in the District Plan. Alternative design proposals must display a level of compliance equivalent to this approved document in meeting these performance levels. Proposals which fail to meet the level of performance of the Code will be assessed as non-complying activity applications.

w1.2.1 EARTHWORKS AND LAND STABILITY

(a) That all earthworks are carried out in a manner that minimises or avoids damage to the natural and physical environment.

(b) That modifications to the natural environment resulting from earthworks be

minimised or avoided in order to preserve existing landscape and habitat features as far as practicable.

(c) That the land form is stabilised. (d) That the carrying out of bulk earthworks, the assessment of slope stability or the

detailed evaluation of the suitability of natural ground for the foundations of buildings, road, services or other works, be evaluated, investigated, controlled and certified by a soils engineer.

(e) That construction control testing be carried out by an Organisation with Telarc

Registration in all relevant tests. (f) That earthworks are carried out, as applicable, in accordance with the:

(i) Specification for Earthworks Construction (F/1) - Transit NZ, and (ii) NZS 4431:1989 Code of Practice for Earth Fill for Residential

Development. (g) That where the volume of filling does not exceed 50m³ and the depth does not

exceed 450mm, the requirements for testing will not be enforced.

of 309


(h) That for areas with high water tables the ground water table must be established. In the case of land adjacent to rivers and streams, the ground water table must be established with reference to the average water level of the river or stream at maximum lake level. For areas in close proximity to lakes, the ground water table must be established with reference to the maximum desirable lake level.

Filling to not less than 1 metre above mean water table level as above will be required. Minimum floor levels of habitable buildings will be required to be fixed at 1.5 metre above mean water table level and recorded as a restriction on property titles and Council's Hazard/Caution Register. In reserve areas and other areas not required to support buildings or services, Council may agree to lower standards than for the remainder of the earth fill. The extent of such low density fills shall be defined on the "As Built" drawings and on the title, if appropriate.
