1. I have no problem with the new proposals at "One Restaurant". I only hope you get rid of those terrible Norfolk Island pines down there, they are a non native introduced species, they block the sun, drop pine needles non stop all day covering the ground and killing the grass which then makes the area un usable. No one wants to sit in dirt with pine needles dropping on there head.

2. Please keep the Norfolk Pines they are part of the Northern Beaches history and
   especially North Narrbeen. Some people only think for what is good for an individual not the community. Keep the Trees and Private enterprise not to build on public land.

3. I have lived close by "One" for 10 years.The problems with this application are the alienation of Crown Reserve Land for private use, the potential damage to the Norfolk Pine trees in that area, and the potential noise levels if this application goes ahead. 180 people for a cocktail party is too many for this quiet area..I would want no more than 60 people in total..there simply isn't the room for a "pub-style" grouping, and I worry about broken bottles/glasses/drunks outdoors, where families with young children pass by regularly, especially in summer.
   I have no objection to outdoor music, particularly if it employs local artists, is not too loud, and those musicians remain on the 10x4 metre outside paved dining area which has been there many years. The hours suggested are fine...most of the local clientele would be families with youngish children (in school hols) and grey nomads from the Lakeside Caravan Park over the road. The Norfolk Pines may not be native, but they are attractive and house many birds (lorrikeets roost in them), and they have formed habitat for threatened Ospreys and Sea Eagles in recent years. Damage to them from "One" customers would be a great shame and inexcusable.

4. I live close by. The application seems completely reasonable. There should be no problem with music and the caravan park. The Ospreys have built a beautiful nest in the park behind rat park...so no problem.
   Norfolk Island pines are not native to this area. It is lovely to have outside eating in the restaurant area. We need progress and some upgrades in this area we are not talking about skyscrapers here!
