3 APPENDIX 1A ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL AREAS SCHEDULE Overview of archaeological sites and archaeological areas The protection of historic heritage from inappropriate subdivision, use and development is a matter of national importance under section 6(f) of the Act. Historic heritage includes archaeological sites and is therefore recognised as an important component of sustainable management. Sustainable management of archaeological sites encompasses the identification, retention and enhancement of heritage values for present and future generations. Archaeological sites and areas carry forward a legacy and provide a story of historical activity. Historic heritage cannot be replicated or replaced, as it is a result of past human activity. As a consequence, historic heritage is susceptible to any physical change that may reduce or destroy the qualities that contribute to its significance. Landowners may carry out activities that unwittingly damage heritage values, such as through additions and alterations to buildings or siting fences on archaeological sites. The extent and significance of archaeological sites and areas is developing, given that many parts of the District are yet to have an archaeological survey. The ' Number' in the schedule refers to the Historic Heritage Record Form (Archaeology) held on Council files. The ' Number' is shown on the Planning Map to identify the location, but not the spatial extent, of the archaeological site or area. All items have a New Zealand Archaeological Association (NZAA) archaeological site number and some have a New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT) registration. number Planning Map Archaeological site or area NZHPT registration NZAA site number 11 6A Otautu Pa with defensive ditches, pits and terraces 61 Otautu Wharf Road; 257 Port Jackson Road, Otautu Bay S10/17; S10/19; S10/ Webster's Trading Post and first European settlement, Harbour (1838) Aropawa Bay, Whanganui Island S11/ Opera Point timber mill complex 1738 Whangapoua Road, Whangapoua T10/ Early Maori settlement and occupation Black Jack Road, Opito Bay T10/162, T10/163, T10/164, T10/222, T10/223, T10/657, T10/ Interrelated sites occupied in first 200 years of Maori Black Jack Road, Opito Bay T10/167, T10/168, T10/399, Page 3

8 APPENDIX 1B MAORI CULTURAL SITES SCHEDULE Overview of Maori Cultural Sites The protection of historic heritage from inappropriate subdivision, use and development is a matter of national importance under section 6(f) of the Act. 'Maori Cultural Sites' as a part of the District's historic heritage includes wahi tapu and wahi tapu areas and is recognised as an important component of sustainable management. Sustainable management of Maori Cultural Sites, encompasses the identification, retention and enhancement of heritage values for present and future generations. Maori Cultural Sites carry forward a legacy and provide a story of historical activity. The extent and significance of Maori Cultural Sites is developing, given that many parts of the District are yet to have a Maori Cultural Impact Assessment undertaken. The identification of Maori Cultural Sites provides Council and the community with improved knowledge about those sites and areas that are culturally significant to tangata whenua, their culture and their heritage. Traditional oral history and information collected, collated and analysed from the Maori Land Court records about those sites and areas is available from tangata whenua explaining the values concerning wahi tapu and other places or sites of cultural and spiritual significance. The ' Number' is shown on the Planning Map to identify the location, but not the spatial extent, of the Maori Cultural Site. Consultation with iwi and examination of the Online Historic Places Trust Register will be necessary to accurately determine the spatial extent of the Maori Cultural Site. number Planning Map Maori Cultural Site NZHPT registration NZAA site number 1 10 Papa Aroha wahi tapu area 382 Colville Road, Koputauki Bay, Tahanga wahi tapu 958 Black Jack Road, Opito Bay E Taputapuatea wahi tapu area Buffalo Beach Road, SH 25, Whitianga C Te Aputa Pa wahi tapu area Coast Road, Te Puru B Te Apuranginui wahi tapu Cnr Cochrane and Brown Street, E Herewaka wahi tapu area 329 Parawai Road, F Maramarahi wahi tapu Maramarahi Road, G Waipapa wahi tapu Totara Valley Road, Page 8

10 APPENDIX 1C HISTORIC HERITAGE ITEM AND HISTORIC HERITAGE AREA SCHEDULE Overview of Historic Heritage and Historic Heritage Area Schedule The protection of historic heritage from inappropriate subdivision, use and development is a matter of national importance under section 6(f) of the Act. Historic heritage is therefore recognised as an important component of sustainable management. Historical and field research has identified a representative range of buildings, structures and built areas that possess heritage values worthy of protection in the Plan. Many of these buildings, structures and sites are also on the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT) Register. The Historic Heritage Schedule is arranged according to the Community Board area. The schedule includes those items whose protection will enhance the identification, retention and enhancement of heritage values for present and future generations. The ' Number' in the schedule refers to the Historic Heritage Record Form for the Historic Heritage held on Council files. The ' Number' is shown on the Planning Map to identify the location of the Historic Heritage.

21 number of 19th century structures that retain a high level of authenticity. Civic, ecclesiastical, residential, governmental, industrial and commercial structures are to be found in close proximity. Grahamstown's street pattern takes the form of an elongated colonial grid, within which the major thoroughfares of Queen and Pollen Streets run on a north south axis. A & G Price Ltd, a group of landmark hotels, The Treasury, the School of Mines and St James Presbyterian Church are major heritage resources within the area, which is also notable for its colonial residential heritage.

25 APPENDIX 2 DESIGNATIONS SCHEDULE Page 25

26 2 DESIGNATIONS SCHEDULE Overview of designations A designation is a provision made in a District Plan to give effect to a requirement made by a requiring authority. A requiring authority that has financial responsibility for a project or public work may require land to be designated. A requiring authority is either: a Minister of the Crown; or a local authority (a territorial authority or regional council); or an approved network utility operator. The process for including a designation in the District Plan and the information to accompany a notice of requirement is set out in the Resource Management Act The requiring authority responsible for the designation may do anything in accordance with the designation, irrespective of the rules in the Plan that might otherwise control the activity. No other person may do anything in relation to the designated land that would prevent or hinder the project or work to which the designation relates without the prior written consent of the requiring authority responsible for the designation. The zone, district wide and overlay rules apply to activities not covered by the designation. Sites designated in the District Plan Land which is designated by a requiring authority is shown on the Planning Maps with an underlying zone. The following 'Designations Schedule' outlines key information relating to each designated site, including its location and the purpose for the designation. Further information on a designation is held on Council files, including specific conditions and reference to the term of the designation. Where a term of the designation is not specified the provisions of the Act prevail. Most of the designations in the District Plan have been carried over from earlier plans and include public works such as roads, schools, police and fire stations, courthouse, wastewater treatment plants, water reservoirs, refuse transfer stations, cemeteries, reserves, river control and soil conservation works. All District Council roads that are formed and existing at the date of notification of this District Plan, are within the Road Zone and are not listed in the 'Designations Schedule'.

41 Waikato Regional Council has required that certain land required for works by the Waihou Valley Scheme is to be designated Soil Conservation and River Control in the District Plan. The Waihou Valley Scheme is a comprehensive total catchment scheme designed to provide drainage and flood protection to 40,000 ha. of flood prone land in the lower Valley and Hauraki Plains area. The Waihou Valley Scheme provides erosion control, significant watershed protection, land retirement and soil conservation measures to the upper catchment of the Waihou River. The overall objective of the Waihou Valley Scheme is to provide effective flood protection and drainage outlets in the lower reaches of the Waihou River and a sustainable programme of erosion control and conservation measures on a total catchment basis. Protection objectives are set at: An effective minimum 100 year level protection to rural and urban areas from main river flood flows. An effective 100 year level of protection from high tides under the current regime to areas adjacent to the tidal reach of the river system. A minimum, 10 year level of protection from major tributary rivers and streams for rural areas. A minimum 50 year level protraction from major tributary rivers and streams for significant urban areas. Drainage by gravity and/or pump assisted outlets to ensure a maximum of three days ponding in a 10 year return period storm for rural areas. Upper catchment protection through reforestation and soil conservation protection measurers Works within District have been largely associated with the construction of flood defences such as stopbanks. These are located to provide a safe capacity against flood events and include equipment such as floodgates and pumps to dewater rural areas during and after flood events. The Waihou Valley Scheme is an infrastructural asset that will require continuing monitoring, evaluation and maintenance to ensure its continuing function and efficiency. The maintenance operations within the District Council area will involve activities such as: Channels, Floodways and Stopbanks, including: Berm maintenance, erosion protection, channel evacuation, involving weed spraying, riprap placing as required, removal of deposited sediment, miscellaneous repairs to stopbanks, culverts and fences, reconstruction of settlement. Floodgates, pumpstations and other structures, including: Sediment removal, structure maintenance and replacement. Concrete channels, detention dams and sheetpile floodwalls involving replacement in 50 to 60 years. Soil Conservation, including: Fence maintenance and replacement, weed control, maintenance and replacement of erosion control structures.

50 APPENDIX 3 SIGNIFICANT TREE SCHEDULE Page 50

51 3 SIGNIFICANT TREE SCHEDULE Overview of Significant Trees The 'Significant Tree Schedule' identifies trees that significantly contribute to public values such as heritage, amenity or as a landmark. The significance of the tree primarily relates to the condition and amenity of the tree, but significance may also come from the tree's stature, or the historic or scientific values it holds. Tree Number The Tree Number in the schedule below refers to the item in Council's 'Notable Tree Field Report 2011'. This report contains the STEM Score Assessment Sheet for each scheduled tree or stand of trees. The Tree Number is shown on the Planning Map to identify the location of the significant tree or stand of trees. STEM score The Standard Tree Evaluation Method provides a STEM score following an assessment of a tree. This method uses a point system to evaluate a tree's condition, amenity, and notable values. Twenty separate tree attributes are evaluated (3 to 27 points for each attribute) to collectively provide a points score for each tree or stand of trees. Significant trees included in the schedule below have a minimum STEM score of 170 or have been included in the schedule after approval was obtained from the landowner.

54 APPENDIX 4 SUBDIVISION DESIGN GUIDELINES Page 54

55 4 RURAL SUBDIVISION DESIGN PRINCIPLES 4.1 Introduction This Appendix has been developed to provide design principles to assist people undertaking subdivision and building within the rural area, including the coastal environment, of the District. The principles are intended to inform landowners, developers, potentially affected people and the wider community about how to create well designed rural subdivisions that recognise and retain the rural and landscape character of the District. The objectives and policies in the District Plan set the broader framework for the expectations of subdivision in the rural area. These are implemented by the rural subdivision rules. The rules require restricted discretionary, discretionary and non complying subdivisions to be designed in accordance with these principles. These principles are also relevant, as guidance only, when designing controlled activity subdivisions. To meet the requirements of the District Plan applicants will need to demonstrate to the Council that the general design principles and area specific principles are met through the proposed subdivision design. Not all of the issues will be applicable for each subdivision. Some matters may also vary depending upon the scale and complexity of the subdivision. Applications will not necessarily be in accordance with the principles for matters that are not relevant for the particular proposal. It is recommended that a pre application meeting be undertaken with Council staff at the earliest stages of the development of the subdivision proposal to clarify and resolve potential issues and seek advice. Careful planning and consideration of alternative design solutions prior to submitting an application should increase the chances of obtaining subdivision approval and can have the added benefit of reducing uncertainty and the timeframe for processing the application. 4.2 The special values we are trying to protect Landscape character The landscape reflects the cumulative effects of physical and cultural processes. It has three main components: physical (landform and feature), ecological (dynamic and natural), and cultural (man made change and perception). Natural character Natural character is established through natural processes rather than comprising landscapes influenced by human activities. It depends on the maintenance of viable natural processes and systems and the visual elements that contribute to 'naturalness'. Where natural character is predominant, any development should be unobtrusive, of a small scale and embedded within the natural processes of the area. Rural character The rural character landscape is a working landscape, incorporating human development patterns both constructed and natural. Where rural character is predominant, any development should ensure a high degree of open space, privacy, unobstructed views, limited vehicle traffic and a level of informality in the development patterns. Page 55

56 4.3 General design principles Design should ensure that: 1. The site is suitable. 2. The subdivision is integrated with the rural landscape character, natural elements, patterns and processes. 3. The productive potential of the land is retained. 4. Heritage features and landforms are preserved. 5. The subdivision connects with the surrounding environment and community. 6. The visual and physical impact of infrastructure on the rural landscape is reduced. 7. The need for earthworks is avoided or minimised. 8. Ecological systems and processes are restored or enhanced. Page 56

57 4.4 Area Specific Design Principles The principles below shall be used in conjunction with the landscape unit sheets within the Landscape Assessment (September 2011). Subdivision in an amenity landscape listed below shall recognise and provide for the specific landscape characteristics identified. LANDFORM PROTECTION VISUAL EFFECTS LANDSCAPE CHARACTER NATURAL QUALITIES UNIT NO. AMENITY LANDSCAPE COASTAL Built development and landform modification responds to the geophysical characteristi cs/constraint s of the site and its surrounds. Protection of sandy beaches and adjacent dune systems, rocky promontories and outcrops within the coastal environment is provided for. Placement of buildings, structures, and infrastructure avoids hillsides, significant ridgelines, spurs and summits, particularly where landforms are un vegetated and exposed to public viewpoints. Placement of buildings and structures, and management of height, materials, screening/revegetation and use of low reflectivity colours minimise adverse visual effects. Placement of Buildings, structures, and infrastructure on coastal headlands, slopes and edges are sympathetic to the landform, avoiding extensive earthworks and adverse visual effects. The characteristics that contribute to the natural character of the coastal environment are recognised, preserved and enhanced. Subdivision is designed to protect the open space, character of the rural area and patterns of the rural landscape. Subdivision recognises and preserves wild and remote landscape values. Maintain and enhance riparian margins, wetlands, perennial and intermittent streams and rivers are maintained and enhanced. Remnant and regenerating indigenous vegetation cover, particularly pohutukawa within the coastal environment is preserved and enhanced. 6 Sandy Bay 10 Te Kawau, Turipeka, Otautu Point 11 Waikawau River Inlet 13 Little Bay Little Bay (coastal foothills) Tuateawa (coastal slopes) 17 Te Whau Point 21 Kennedy Bay Beach 23 Papaaroha to Tucks Bay (coastal slopes) 26 Ruffin Peninsula tip Page 57

61 4.5 Things to consider when planning your subdivision Site Analysis Site analysis and the identification of the constraints and opportunities of a site should include but not be limited to the following matters: Topography and landforms, including contours Vegetation: indigenous and exotic, remnant and regenerating bush, riparian vegetation, shelterbelts and mature trees Wildlife, aquatic and terrestrial Natural features including streams and wetlands Productive soils Groundwater levels Solar orientation, wind and other climatic conditions Views and aspect Existing buildings, structures and infrastructure, including fence lines, boundaries, access and power lines Heritage and cultural sites and features Ground contamination Reverse sensitivity issues Local sources of nuisance such as noise and dust Natural hazards District Plan requirements and designations Choosing the right site The location, layout and density of a subdivision in a rural area influence the landscape character by altering the proportion of open space to structures and associated infrastructure. It can also influence the area of land available for productive land use. Equally understanding the landscape character including landform, ecology and prevailing land use will help with site selection and the degree to which the subdivision is able to be integrated with the existing landscape and natural character. Careful consideration of the wider context and the site of the subdivision within it can add value to the subdivision and ensure a good fit with the surrounding rural area. Analysing the notable features and characteristics of the wider area and the pattern of surrounding development is an important part of the development process. Notable features or characteristics of the wider area: Landscape and landform features such as the ranges, headlands, coastal edge, dunes, wetlands, streams and rivers, vegetation and the water catchment; Significant views; Orientation and aspect; Wind direction and other climatic conditions; Water runoff and drainage.
