1. I object to this application for a lack of safety...

   1. Traffic congestion exceeding safe capacity limits:
   The proposed development will have a significant, unpalatable impact on traffic congestion to Clay Street and Horsmunden Road. These two are already struggling to cope with the existing traffic load (which far exceeds normal residential traffic loads, due to the close proximity of the Moorabbin Oval, Holmesglen Institute, adjacent dog park and not to mention an alternative route to Chapel Road.

   The corners of Clay and Horsmunden are tight and narrow and it's often very difficult to safely navigate them as there are multiple cars parked on the street leaving only a single lane to drive. Our streets cannot cope with any further increase in traffic and/or parking levels. Likewise, exiting Horsmunden Road onto Clay Street is also fraught with danger, due to the significant congestion created by parked cars and existing traffic.

   2. Unsustainable impact on street parking:
   The rising cost of home ownership has resulted in many existing nearby residents having older children living at home into their twenties, resulting in many residents parking cars on the street as they have more cars than their driveways can fill. The demographic profile of existing residents suggests this problem will only worsen over time.

   The area cannot cope with a further reduction in parking spaces which will ensue from having 3 x 3/4 bedroom dwellings, which will require additional street parking for both residents and visitors.

   "Roy Morgan Research reported the average Aussie Achiever household has 2.27 cars at home, while 11.6 per cent of Achievers have the means to own four or more vehicles".
