because of the largerwharehui and the re-use of the existing dining hall. Both are large structures and the flat area inthe valley that is the marae site means strong retaining walls. The longer retaining wall along thenorthern bank follows the long, curved wall of the new wharehui. This wall ranges in heightfrom 2.8 to 2.17 to 1.5 m. The previous height of 2.4m was approved. The Mahi Toi/Administration/Archive building, the present dining hall, is a large building (105m

will be usedon site. Sediment control measures will be put in to practice. All measures will be taken toprevent any sediment entering the CMA.
The setback variation
is to do with the north eastern line of the new building. The corners of the existing toilet block and the wharehui infringements were approved. The variations are nowa .705m (toilet block) and a 1.650m (wharehui) infringement of the boundary setback. Inmitigation is the fact that this boundary is tree-covered and this part of the land is unoccupied. If it were, visibility and light would not be affected.
The visual effects
will not be intrusive. The maximum height of the main building and the newMahi Toi building is less than the existing building maximum height. The colours will berecessive. The glass walls will reduce the size, height and solidity of the building by being able tolook through it. The only part to be visually prominent will be the Wharehui façade.The wholecomplex will be dwarfed by the site being in a tree filled valley with high hills around it.The property is within the Coastal Living surrounded by General Coastal and OutstandingLandscape of the Revised Proposed District Plan
