ANOTHERBRICKINTHEWALL??!!!

note:
It
should be acknowledged that these photos taken by Careys Bay residents
are based on the large containers stacked 5 high which gives a total height
of 13.5 metres and therefore is still 1.5 metres below the 15 metre height
requested by Port Otago Ltd.
It
should also be acknowledged that Port Otago advertised and completed a
test using columns of containers stacked 5 high at the extreme corners
of the reclamation ... these containers were the smaller containers which
when stacked give a total height of approximately 12 metres which is 3
metres below the 15 metre height requested by Port Otago Ltd. Therefore
with the 15 metre limit Port Otago Ltd could place containers 6 high using
the small containers and there would still be space abaove to 15 metres!!
The
question has to be asked "do they want to store containers there at all
or do they just want the height limit raised so they can build another
bloody great shed?!"
Current view looking
from Slant Street, which is already compromised by the existing reclamation
and also storage of empty containers.
Proposed view looking from Slant Street showing
a digital mock up of containers stacked to almost the height that Port
Otago Ltd. is asking for and the Dunedin City council planning Dept. believes
will not adversely effect the Bay.
