9 Housing Issues- North West Inner City ORDER: Noted 4067(a)The following emergency motions were tabled That this committee agrees that a report be made available in relation the new development at Patrick Heaney Way, Sean McDermott Street, Dublin 1 re the collapse of a ceiling the defectiveness of the electrical works. ORDER: Agreed (b) That members of this committee recommends to the Planning Department that they refuse permission for Planning Application No: 5370/08, Temporary Car Park, East Wall Road (for O2 venue) on the following grounds: The developer of the O2 has failed to properly prepare for the opening of the venue, and the traffic management and parking issues should have been addressed as part of the original planning application. The opening of the venue, without adequate car parking, was premature. The impact of this volume of traffic onto this section of East Wall Road has not been adequately assessed in the application. Concert traffic traditionally begins to build up during the latter stages of rush hour traffic and this is already a chaotic period, when the local road network is operating to capacity. The impact on existing residents has not, at any point, been considered in the application. Other applications along East Wall Road that have been refused permission, with traffic concerns cited by the planning department. In particular an application for a Lidl store (favoured by the community) was refused. The entrance to the proposed car park is, in fact, a temporary road that was opened during the construction of the Dublin Port Tunnel to allow access for construction traffic. An assurance was given by D.C.C. that this road would be closed, once the tunnel was completed. Concerns about the continued use of this location have been raised at East Wall Forum meetings in the past. The proposed development will have a negative impact on the residential amenity of the surrounding houses in the East Wall area zoned Z1. The Committee further calls on Planning Enforcement to ensure that there is adequate parking provision at the venue before any further concerts are allowed to take place at this venue. ORDER: Agreed. The members requested that the Managing Director of O2 be invited to a meeting of Councillors and other public reps to be arranged as soon as possible. (c) That Members of the Central Area Committee call on Dublin City Council to extend the final deadline for the Canals Study by one month (to 6th March and that an awareness campaign of the Study be undertaken by Dublin City Council, the Dublin Docklands Development Authority and Failte Ireland to ensure greater participation in this survey. 9

14 Questions to the City Manager Central Area Committee February 2009 Q1 Councillor Christy Burke Q2 Councillor Christy Burke Q3 Councillor Christy Burke We will ask our litter wardens to monitor the area closely and check any illegally dumped bags for evidence that will identify the culprit. Q4 Councillor Christy Burke Q5 Councillor Christy Burke To ask the City Manager if Dublin City Council will request the clampers to visit the small streets around details supplied to make sure that no illegal parking is taking place, as some residents find they can not get into their own streets on such events. The City Council operates a clamping and tow-away service in order to enforce parking regulations in the city. 14

15 During match days in details supplied an operation is undertaken by the Council s parking enforcement contractor, in conjunction with An Garda Síochána. The primary focus of this operation is to re-locate and clamp illegally parked vehicles which are parked in a dangerous manner or found to be causing obstruction. Q6 Councillor Christy Burke Drainage Division s gully cleaning crew last cleaned gullies in the above area as per details below. Street Date No. of Gullies Cleaned Details Supplied 03/12/08 1 of 2 Details Supplied 03/12/08 4 of 6 Details Supplied 04/07/08 4 of 4 An inspection on the 30 th of January last found all gullies in the area to be working satisfactorily, with the exception of the gully located outside details supplied. Our crews will tend to this gully over the coming week. Recent interruptions to the water supply in details supplied (b) were not planned and were as a result of breaks within the watermain network. This was caused by the recent cold weather and the age of the pipework. It resulted in low water pressure in the area. These leaks were promptly repaired once the locations were identified. Q7 Councillor Seamas McGrattan Arrangements have been put in place for the installation of dog bins at the green areas at details supplied. Poop-Scoops are no longer placed in dispensers at dog bins are they are a litter generator, poop-scoops are available at Area Offices, Public Libraries, Civic Offices and Waste Management Services at Marrowbone Lane, Dublin 8. Q8 Councillor Seamas McGrattan 15

16 Under The Road Traffic (Traffic & Parking) Regulations, Section 36 paragraph (2) i, it is illegal to park on a footway, a grass margin or a median strip There is no funding available to erect bollards at these locations. Enforcement is a matter for the Gardaí and incidences can be reported to the local Garda Stations. Q9 Councillor Seamas McGrattan 1. A contractor was appointed to install a roofing membrane on the flat roof extension and to replace the ceiling of this dwelling some time ago. The tenant refused these works, as she wanted a transfer to alternative accommodation. On inspection there is no evidence of dampness, however there is condensation, due to the radiators being used to dry clothes, without adequate ventilation. The Area Maintenance Officer has advised the tenant on the future prevention of condensation and issued them with a booklet on this. The contractor will make contact with this tenant again in relation to completing the work to the extension roof and ceiling. The hall door needs to be re-fitted. Arrangements will be made with the tenant to carry out this work. 2. The Area Maintenance Officer has called to this address, but was unable to make contact. A further call will be made to identify the problem and carry out any necessary repairs. Q10 Councillor Seamas McGrattan Q11 Councillor Seamas McGrattan Q12 Councillor Seamas McGrattan 16

17 As part of a route optimisation process, Waste Management Services brought forward the starting time for the refuse collection service in the Dublin City Council area to six am. This is the time that the refuse freighters leave their depots and not the actual collection time. These new collection schedules have settled down and the residents of details supplied should know how early they need to have their bins out. Many residents leave their bins out last thing at night to ensure that they don t miss their collection the following morning. Generally speaking we have had few reports of bins being stolen or vandalised since this new collection arrangement came in and there doesn t appear to be any greater risk of such incidents taking place. The only alternative for residents who are afraid to leave their bin out overnight is to put it out at six am on bin collection day. Q13 Councillor Seamas McGrattan Street Date No. of Gullies Cleaned Details supplied 29/01/09 7 of 8 Details supplied 29/01/09 24 of 26 Q14 Councillor Seamas McGrattan To ask the City Manager for a timescale for the upgrade to public lighting in (details supplied). Upgrading of the lighting on details supplied was completed in October 2008 as part of our 2008 programme of improvement works. Upgrading of the lighting on details supplied is included in our provisional programme of improvement works for Completion of this programme and the programmes for the four other areas will depend on availability of finances in the current economic situation. Every effort will be made to ensure that the work is carried out, but it is not possible at this stage to give a timeframe. Q15. Councillor Maureen O Sullivan Each Brown Bin lift is charged at 2. This charge applies after the expiry of a three month s grace period from the date of delivery of the bin, when lifts are not charged, Customers covered by the Waiver Scheme are not charged for Brown Bin lifts. Q16. Councillor Maureen O Sullivan 17

18 To ask the Manager for information on the laneway details supplied(a) - was the public right of way (which residents of details supplied(b) with houses directly adjacent to the lane had access to) legally extinguished? Who owns the laneway? Were these residents offered fobs and if so were there conditions attached? Was planning permission granted for erection of gates on the laneway and who paid for the gates? Who is on the Management Committee dealing with the laneway? A meeting took place between residents of details supplied and their representative on the 29 th of January 2009 A set of proposals to resolve current difficulties was tabled by Dublin City Council at the meeting. The formal response of the residents is awaited. Q17. Councillor Maureen O Sullivan Q18. Councillor Maureen O Sullivan The City Council operates a clamping and tow-away service in order to enforce parking regulations in the city. During match days in Croke Park an operation is undertaken by the Council s parking enforcement contractor, in conjunction with An Garda Síochána. The primary focus of this operation is to re-locate and clamp illegally parked vehicles, which are parked in a dangerous manner or found to be causing obstruction. In the period 1 st January 2008 to 31 st December 2008 a total of 13 vehicles were clamped in details supplied for the offence of parking in a pay & display/residents permit parking area without displaying a valid permit. None of these enforcements took place on a day when an event was taking place in Croke Park. However, the parking enforcement contractor has been requested to patrol this street on future event days and carry out any necessary enforcement action. Q19. Councillor Maureen O Sullivan Road Maintenance shall have the above mentioned pot-holes filled within a 6-8 week period. Q20. Councillor Maureen O Sullivan 18

19 All maintenance carried out to Council dwellings is on a response maintenance basis. Repair requests are responded to when received, within the timeframe allocated to the nature of the complaint, i.e. routine, urgent, emergency. The common areas are cleaned on a daily basis, stairwells are cleaned down daily and the bins are emptied weekly. Specific maintenance programmes are not drawn up for flat complexes, however I can confirm that maintenance repair requests are responded to on the above stated basis in this complex. Q21. Councillor Maureen O Sullivan To ask the Manager is any progress has been made regarding the closure of the play centre on details supplied at such a reasonable time in the evening that it does not prevent young people using the facilities but will deter anti-social behaviour? Staff will now lock the gates of the playground when leaving the building. Notices will be erected at the centre to advise that the playground will be closed for public access from 5pm Monday to Thursday and from 4pm on Fridays. The Playground will only be opened on the Saturday that the Centre is open and will remain locked on Sundays. Notices will be erected to this effect. The Gardai in Store Street will have keys to access or lock the Playground should groups engaged in anti-social activity gain access to the playground after hours or fail to leave at the required times. These arrangements will come into effect from Monday 16 th February. Regrettably this will reduce access for local children to these play facilities. These arrangements will be monitored to see if they achieve the objective of reducing incidents of antisocial behaviour and nuisance to neighbours of the facility. Q22. Councillor Maureen O Sullivan To ask the Manager for further information why No left turns in areas cannot also contain the sign 'Access Only', in order to facilitate ease of access for local residents? If a No Left Turn sign is erected with an Access Only plate underneath, the only part of the sign that is actually enforceable is the left turn prohibition, which would apply to all motorists. Q23. Councillor Emer Costello 19

20 To ask the Area Manager to have ramps installed on details supplied to stop speeding. This matter will be referred to the Traffic Advisory Group and a report will be issued to a future Area Committee Meeting. Q24. Councillor Emer Costello To ask the Area Manager to contact CIE to have the site at details supplied cleaned out and the railings raised. The Area Manager has written to Iarnród Eireann and asked them to examine the request. A report will be issued as soon as possible. Q25. Councillor Emer Costello To ask the Area Manager to resurface or at least repair the potholes at details supplied which are both deep and dangerous. Q26. Councillor Emer Costello To ask the manager when the bollards at details supplied will be erected as there is a major danger to pedestrian safety in the area. The erection of the bollards on details supplied are part of a package of minor works, which should be completed within the next 6 weeks. Q27. Councillor Emer Costello To ask the Area Manager to arrange a meeting between residents of details supplied and the Area Manager and the water Engineers with a view to establishing a communications protocol to deal with water shutdowns in the area and to outline what procedures will be taken to implement the new water regulations to prevent unauthorised use of the water supply from the mains at certain building developments. The Water Division have been requested to meet with the (details supplied) to discuss the recent problems experienced with the water supply. Regular inspections are conducted to ensure unauthorised use of water is minimised. Q28. Councillor Emer Costello 20

21 To ask the Area Manager to outline the planning conditions attached to parking/traffic management for concerts at the details supplied to prevent traffic using this route to the venue or from parking their cars there. A Section 25 certificate for the redevelopment of (details supplied) was granted on 7 December 2006 by the Dublin Docklands Authority. Condition 2 of the decision states: The developers shall comply with the requirements of Dublin City Council as Roads Authority with regard to access to the public road (including any safety requirements and the payment of any special charges to the City Council arising from compliance with those requirements).

The recipients were given four weeks to address the issues raised in the letter. A decision will be made as quickly as possible after the expiry of the four weeks on what, if any, enforcement action should be taken. The matter of the erection of barriers is an issue for An Garda Siochana. Q29. Councillor Aodhan O Riordain 21

22 A total of 135 houses were built in this area during the 1990s. Q30. Councillor Aodhan O Riordain To ask the manager why the local authority property at details supplied has been left empty for approximately two years and allowed to deteriorate, when so many people are on the housing list?

An Engineer has been engaged to re-examine the refurbishment proposal for this dwelling. Work will recommence as soon as the engineer s report and redesign is approved. Q31. Councillor Aodhan O Riordain Given that the government has recently published new standards for the details supplied and the responsibility for inspection and enforcement of these standards rests with the local authority, to ask the manager how much Dublin City Council spent on inspections last year (2008) and how much they have budgeted to spend this year? Dublin City Council enforces the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations 2008 through the Environmental Health Section in Housing & Residential Services. In 2008 environmental health officers inspected 2,822 rented houses and undertook 4,303 inspections of rented houses, which included rented houses under the Rental Accommodation Scheme.

23 Q33. Councillor Aodhan O Riordain supplied (b) hold meetings with residents from details While there were reports of road surface flooding in other locations in details supplied and of a small number of properties flooded on detail supplied, Dublin City Council is not aware of comparable property damage reports, which would require further public meetings.

The existing drainage infrastructure in the laneway will be examined and additional gullies will be installed if required. (b) The existing pitch at detail supplied(b) open space was designed as a 7 aside pitch for passive use by the local residents. As such given favourable conditions and responsible play the pitch is adequate for the initial use intended. However the pitch has since been let to Navan Road United Football Club who now require the pitch to be playable on a regular basis. This Division is aware that the pitch can become unplayable during times of prolonged wet weather and given the very inclement weather that we have experienced over the past year the problem has become more frequent. Q40. Councillor Brendan Carr To ask the Manager to ensure that the lights in the common areas at details supplied are working and to ensure that the electricity fuse room is secure that only authorised personnel have access. The lights in the common areas of this complex are working. The lock to the meter room will be changed to ensure its future security. Q41.

Councillor Mary Fitzpatrick Can you the manager please outline what action Dublin City Council have taken to resolve the problem with surface water leaks at details provided. Drainage Division carried out repairs to the pipeline serving the gully at the junction of details supplied over the past fortnight. A utilities company had damaged the pipeline, however both the gully and pipeline are now in good working order. The water rising along detail supplied is from a leak on the supply to details supplied as well as ground water from an artesian well of long standing. Both householders were sent Notices to repair the leaks on their supplies and an on site meeting was held with them recently with a view to resolving the matter. The water rising on details supplied was sampled by our Laboratory and is not mains water. In addition to this, 4 extra gullies were installed alongside the detail supplied during November Q44.

Only at that stage will it be possible to assess whether there is capacity in the Pay and Display area to accommodate cars from neighbouring streets. Applicants should contact the Parking Policy and Control Section as appropriate. Q46.

The reason for this extinguishment is to regularise parking in the area. The extent of this proposed extinguishment is shown on the attached drawing. Service Checks A service check will be undertaken to establish what (if) any are located on these areas. Suitable arrangements will be put in place prior to completion of this proposal. Statutory Requirement The statutory procedure involves giving public notice of the proposal in one or more newspapers circulating in the City and the affixing of that notice at each end of the right of way for a period of not less than 14 days. Any objections or representations made and not withdrawn shall be considered. The extinguishment of a public right of way is a function reserved to the elected members of the City Council. Recommendation I recommend that procedures be initiated under Section 73 of the Roads Act 1993 to extinguish the public right of way over the area indicated on attached Drawing.
