NORTH WEST AREA COMMITTEE MEETING

MINUTES

TUESDAY 19th April 2016

A minute’s silence was held for Sean Curley Sweeney and his son Tyler Joyce who died in a tragic accident in Ashington Estate.

NWA/74/16 Minutes of the North West Area Committee Meeting held on Tuesday 15th

ORDER: Noted. Fergus Synnott will report to the next North West Area Committee on discussions with Irish Rail in relation to the Ashington tragedy.

NWA/78/16 Motion in the name of Councillor Anthony Connaghan

That the Manager investigates the possibility of providing a pedestrian route from the Ashington Estate across the railway tracks and Royal Canal to the Finglas side of the canal adjacent Royal Canal Park. As was pointed out recently by a local resident, it would turn a 30 minute walk into a 1 minute crossing. I am of the opinion that despite the recent tragedy at this location people will continue to use this point as a shortcut regardless of risk and the onus is on us to ensure that a safe route is provided here.

ORDER: Report to Councillor.

NWA/79/16 Motion in the name of Councillor Cieran Perry

This Area Committee calls on Iarnród Éireann and Dublin City Council to agree an immediate resolution to the problem of illegal access to the canal at Ashington Park which resulted in the recent tragic death of a father and 3 year old child. While acknowledging the genuine attempts by Iarnród Éireann to resolve this issue in the past, this dangerous situation cannot be allowed to continue. This committee requests that a report on the discussions between Iarnród Éireann and DCC is presented to the next meeting of the committee.

That this Area Committee supports the re-instatement of the Financial Contribution Scheme and directs the Manager to utilise this scheme on the Scribblestown and Valley sites in Finglas South in order to maximise the potential of so called empty nester homes and to provide a more dispersed and integrated means of providing Social Housing in the area.

That this Area Committee supports the idea of a bus route from Finglas to Cabra/City Centre via Ratoath Road and calls on the Manager to do all in his power to make this a reality. Increased and expedient connectivity between the two sides of the City Council Constituency can now be easily attained with the new Irish Rail bridge.

ORDER: Report to Councillor. Dublin Bus to be invited to a future meeting. Councillors will be invited to submit questions prior to the meeting.


This Area Committee requests that local councillors are informed of all purchases of housing in the North West Area by Voluntary Housing Agencies when agreement in principle has been reached with the seller.

ORDER: Report to Councillor. Dublin City Council is only in a position to inform councillors when projects are approved by both the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and the Housing Finance Agency. At that stage the relevant Area Councillors and TDs will be informed immediately by email.


This Area Committee calls for the removal of the so called “1916 Memorial Wall” from Glasnevin Cemetery as it equates the Irish revolutionaries of the 1916 Rising with the soldiers of the British occupation army who died during the Rebellion. Given its historical importance, Glasnevin Cemetery is an inappropriate location for such a memorial.

ORDER: Report to Councillor. A City Council Official’s contact details will be included in all such replies from other bodies. A request to be sent to the Glasnevin Trust to allow political representation on the Board. The North West Area Committee to write to the Glasnevin Trust requesting that the “1916 Memorial Wall” be removed from Glasnevin Cemetery.

ORDER: Recommend to City Council.

NWA/96/16 With reference to the proposed grant of a 3 year licence for the use of an area at Poppintree Community Sports Centre, Balbutcher Lane North, Poppintree, Dublin 11.

ORDER: Recommend to City Council

NWA/97/16 Motion in the name of Councillor Noeleen Reilly

To ask the manager to build a wall between Druid & Termon Court on the hill beside St Joseph’s. There are ongoing problems with anti social behaviour and dumping on the hill. It has been getting particularly worse over the last number of months. Cars have also been getting damaged. A wall would certainly go a long way to limiting the opportunity for anti social behaviour.


NWA/98/16 Motion in the name of Councillor Noeleen Reilly

To ask the manager to look at greater Security at the entrance of Poppintree Park on the Willow Park Road, Cedarwood Green side. Can a Camera be arranged for here that is directly looking onto the road. There has been a sustained level of attacks, both targeted and random on the residents over the last number of months and has escalated recently with a number of windows being broken.

ORDER: Report to Councillor. This motion will be submitted to the North West Area Joint Policing Committee for their consideration.

NWA/99/16 Motion in the name of Councillor Cathleen Carney Boud

That the manager arranges a schedule of checks for dumping around the courts in Ballymun rather than relying on reports coming in and dangerous materials being left for several days before they are cleared. Areas notorious for dumping 'hotspots' ideally should be checked regularly.


7

NWA/100/16 Motion in the name of Councillor Cathleen Carney Boud

That the area manager to confirms a time-frame for when the patches of pavement will be re-instated to their original form at Carton Terrace. The cobblelock pavements have been left with patches of tarmac following a gas leak in November last year and the original paving has still not been re-instated. Residents who are looking forward to their annual tidy towns efforts are disheartened that the tarmac patches are uneven and unsightly.

ORDER: Report to Councillor. Road Maintenance to be reminded of their previous commitment to include timeframes in replies. Road Maintenance to be invited to the June or July meeting, questions to be submitted by Councillors prior to the meeting.

NWA/101/16 Motion in the name of Councillor Edel Moran, North Central

To ask the manager to look at the policy of shutters in Ballymun. Windows are consistently getting broken and not replaced as businesses feel it is a waste of time fixing them to be broken again. The policy of having shutters on the inside does not help in any way as they feel there is no safety net there. Shutters would only be down at night time when everything is closed. I think a shutter is much more attractive looking than a broken window covered with a sheet of iron.


NWA/102/16 Motion in the name of Councillor Norma Sammon

That this Committee recognises the work of youngballymun in improving outcomes for disadvantaged children in the area through prevention and early intervention and commits to doing everything within its power to prevent its impending closure.

ORDER: Report to Councillor. A letter to be sent from the North West Area Committee to the Taoiseach on this matter.

Other Issues: ‘The Chair welcomed our new Councillor Norma Sammon. Letter of congratulations to be sent to Deputy Noel Rock on his election to the Dail.

The Chairman and Members of North West Area Committee.

Meeting: 17th May 2016

Item No: 3

Cabra Area Office Report

MAIN DEVELOPMENTS

Ashington TragedyFurther to the report and discussion at last month’s NWAC meeting the Cabra Office invited Irish Rail (IR) and Waterways Ireland (WI) to a meeting with the Council’s Parks Section to discuss options for improving safety in the vicinity of the park fencing at the border with the rail line. This was held on 27th April. Unfortunately, WI were unable to attend but advised that they would re- examine the scene and report back.

The meeting considered the broad circumstances of the accident and explored ideas that might further improve the safety of the area, including the possibility of building a footbridge over the rail line to facilitate a shortened route between Ashington and the Pelletstown development.

The purpose of the fence and wall is to protect people within the park and to deter people from crossing the rail line. The former is largely successful but, as the tragedy has shown, the latter cannot be guaranteed. The wall and fence have been breached many times over the years and repeatedly repaired. However, these problems have reduced in recent times and there was very little activity over the Halloween period, which has been a problematic period in the past. Both Parks and Irish Rail monitor the fence and repair it as breaches occur.

WI state that they do not believe that much can be done on their side to further improve safety as the lock footboard area has to be kept open to allow operation of the lock. The path adjacent to the canal is a public path open to everyone.

Building a new rail station which has provision for two integrated footbridges, one spanning over the railway and the over the Royal Canal, is considered to be the best long term solution and plans are finally in place to progress this. However, looking to the immediate future, we discussed the possibility of erecting an interim footbridge. While this would address the issue of crossing the line safely, it is by no means clear that a footbridge would be universally welcomed by residents - as evidenced by the concerns expressed by people during the planning application process for the proposed station. It would be expensive to build and there are no immediately identifiable sources of funds available. An application to government is unlikely to be successful in view of the proposed timescale for the new station.

Funding has been provided by the NTA for the detailed design phase of the station and this will be completed in the final quarter of 2016. Dublin City Council has already secured partial funding for the works, through development levies. If the balance of funding is then provided

20

by the NTA for construction it is hoped that this could start sometime in 2017. The Irish Rail representative was asked if this could be brought forward in view of the recent tragedy and he agreed to approach the NTA but advised that they are under considerable financial pressure from competing projects. He suggested that, as part of the project, there might be a possibility of replacing the present boundary wall with palisade fencing along the park and removing shrubbery, leaving only grass. Dublin City Council has asked Irish Rail to bring this to the attention of the NTA so it can be included in the station plans.

The Parks Section proposed that in the meantime they could thin out shrubbery along the park boundary if residents are agreeable. While this might have no direct impact on people attempting to scale the fence it should deter anti-social gatherings.

In conclusion, there is no quick or short term solution to creating a safe shortened route over the rail line and canal. It is a project that will require significant planning and investment and as there is already a planned project in place the best option is for funding for this project to be secured quickly so that it can be delivered at the earliest possible opportunity.

Broome Lodge – local employment policyDublin City Council sought further clarification regarding the local employment intentions of Glasgiven Ltd. At a meeting with the Site Manager he stated that he had two employees living in Phibsborough and was considering CVs that had been handed in by local men. Most people who had called to the site were seeking general operative work. CVs can be left at the site office. He again confirmed Glasgiven Ltd’s commitment to local employment but said that he cannot state how many jobs there will be as these will evolve over the course of the project. All CVs are kept on file and used as a basis to hire new labour. Although most of the work to date is being done by sub-contractors, Glasgiven Ltd envisages that there will be opportunities in the future on this site.

LUAS Update

Lights to be powered from TII stop and cut off shortly after the last tram.

Faussagh Road BridgeDublin City Council reported that a section of the new railing on Faussagh Road Bridge has been removed. Following discussions with the contractor, SSJV, this has been replaced.

Dublin City Council raised the issue of the appearance of the Faussagh Road Bridge Wall as it is likely to be subjected to graffiti. Padraig Doyle will examine this issue.

Item No: 9

National Cultural Institutions and the Neighbourhood Programme.

Dublin City Council became a candidate for the European Capital of Culture 2020 designation in late 2014. A far reaching public consultation and a promotion of Dublin’s cultural strengths and ambition characterised the bid process and the civic energy generated as well as the innovative programme outlined in the Bid Book have left a legacy of skills and new thinking.

Although not shortlisted, Dublin City Council had already set aside €1M to support the second round of the Bid in the Council Annual Budget 2016 and discussions of retaining this budget and reinvesting it strategically in Culture ensued.

The City Arts Officer proposed to the Assistant Chief Executive and the CEO that the fund should be set to long term strategic goals i.e.

(a) That any project or idea supported should be of such a quality and interest to the Members of Dublin City Council as to cause a desire to retain this budget for Culture in future years.

(b) That the wide ranging consultations with citizens should continue.(c) That further investment in Culture should be leveraged because of this investment

nationally and in Europe.(d) That Community organisations, businesses and cultural institutions could work

together.(e) That the Projects should be of sufficient scale to leave a legacy of working closely

with the National Cultural Institutions.

Through further discussion and consultation with the Area Managers of Dublin City Council and subsequent meetings with Area Community Development Teams, City Council Libraries and the Arts Office, one of the large scale projects from Dublin’s Bid Book was selected for feasibility study. The project proposed is that National Cultural Institutions (NCI’s) including the Irish Museum of Modern Art, The Abbey Theatre, The National Museum, The Chester Beatty Library, The National Concert Hall, The National Gallery, The National Library, all of whom are located in Dublin, would form partnerships with local neighbourhoods in such a way that a high quality cultural initiative connecting the NCI and the Neighbourhood would result. This programme or initiative would seek to connect the local, national and international cultural ambition of Dublin as a Capital City while ensuring the development of local cultural capacity.

The Department of Arts Heritage and the Gaeltacht (DAHG) convened the NCI’s to discuss the project and the approach was wholly endorsed by all involved. DAHG are considering

32

how best to support the project and may do so through financial assistance either Capital or Current Revenue.

It is proposed that each project is large scale and that programmes e.g. in schools or broader cultural initiatives e.g. in intercultural integration can be considered. In the first instance, 600K will be available for projects across the five areas and a Project Manager for each Area will be appointed by Tender. An overall coordinator Iseult Byrne has been appointed and local consultations in each Area have begun.

An Advisory Group has now been formed in each City Area and National Cultural Institutions have assigned themselves singly or in pairs as follows

The 5 National Cultural Neighbourhood Project groupings are:

Central Area is collaborating with the National Library of Ireland South Central is collaborating with The Chester Beatty Library & the National Concert

Hall South East is collaborating with The National Gallery of Ireland North West is collaborating with The National Museum of Ireland and The Abbey

Theatre North Central is collaborating with The Irish Museum of Modern Art.

Each Advisory Group consists as indicated above of The Area Community Development Team, The Arts Office, City Libraries, and a National Cultural Institution(s). Local consultations such as those undertaken in the Bid process have begun in each City Area to aid project development and Neighbourhood theme selection.Each Advisory Group has met in facilitated session to agree their working purpose and to set out criteria for project selection.

The criteria agreed for selection of projects vary slightly in each of the Areas, but in all cases they require that the project: Contains Meaningful Participation and active engagement by residents of the Area

Is Impactful – Personally, Locally, Nationally and Internationally

Is Inclusive & Accessible (intellectually, physically & virtually)

Is Ambitious & Challenging, Innovative & of high quality

Is relevant (to the community, the area, the institution and to DCC)

Is Feasible and Realistic

It is proposed that projects will be developed through a process of consultation and collaboration and also that significant progress in implementation occurs during 2016. Through a consultation process involving community meetings and facilitated sessions supported by the Community Development Team, A community organisation (s) will be identified as partner in the project or programme proposed.Once the idea, community partner and implementation time line is set, regular updates will be provided to the Area Committee

It is important to note that a significant number of additional complaints were also investigated as all area staff pick up complaints when carrying out daily duties but due to lack of resources all complaints are not logged.

St. Anne’s Road Pocket Park

A community gathering was held on Friday 29th April to celebrate the completion of the St. Anne’s Road Pocket park. This space was delivered by a partnership consisting of the Iona/Drumcondra Residents Association, St Anne’s Road Residents, Fieldworks and Strategies Landscaping, Iarnrod Eireann and Dublin City Council. Funding was provided by the Croke Park Fund, Lord Moyle Trust, Local Agenda 21 and KBC Bank. Refreshments were provided and local residents had the opportunity to meet and socialise in the space and children from the local school happily tried out the slide, blackboard and natural play areas. This project provides a template whereby small underutilised green spaces can be developed as a community amenity using natural and reused materials in the construction.

Adoption of the Litter Management Plan 2016-2018

At the meeting held on 4th April 2016 Dublin City Council adopted The Litter Management Plan 2016-2018. The plan sets out objectives and targets with the overall aim of improving the standard of cleanliness of the city over the next 3 years. The 3 key areas dealt with in the plan are Resources, Partnership and Enforcement and under each area specific actions are specified for litter management and prevention. Actions are also provided to deal with dog fouling and illegal dumping.

New initiatives listed for implementation include:

63

Intensive street washing programme from April to October each year. Introduction of a street sweeping request facility for residents. Introduction of a Bulky Waste Collection service, on request. Maintenance regime to be developed for cleaning and painting of bins. Measures to promote responsible dog ownership and tackle dog fouling. Expansion of door to door enforcement campaign to ensure bye-law compliance.

National Spring Clean Up Event in Finglas

The Finglas Tidy Towns group recently held their annual Spring Clean Event in Finglas Village. The event, which took place on 16th April, was well attended and good work was done by members of the group and supporters in preparing the village for the summer season and the Tidy Towns Competition. In particular a major litter pick was undertaken at the Heritage Sign and in the surrounding shrubbery, where a large quantity of litter was removed. Members of the Public Domain Team took part in the clean up and provided refreshments to the hard working participants.The National Spring clean, now in its 17th year, is organised by An Taisce in partnership with local authorities.

Enhancements

Following on from the recent cleaning of the bridge in Drumcondra new seating has been installed in the village. The seats fitted are manufactured from a composite material, which although having a high initial cost offers the advantages of being low maintenance and less prone to vandalism. Other enhancement work is currently being conducted in the vicinity of the shops at Poppintree Parade where graffiti has been removed and surrounding walls painted. It is hoped that further work will be carried out at this location in the upcoming months. Significant graffiti removal and wall painting has been carried out on Mellowes Road and on Broombridge Road. The NWA Public Domain and Community Sections are also working in partnership with residents in The Courts in Ballymun, where paint and other support has been provided to residents whose hard work has significantly enhanced areas of the laneways and Crannogue Road.

Weed Spraying

The annual weed spraying programme commenced in the NWA on 18th April and is due to be completed shortly. The spraying is conducted throughout the area by contractors Greentown Environmental, who have been undertaking this work for Dublin City Council for the last number of years. The contractors, who have become familiar in the area, operate on quad bikes, providing the mobility required to operate on pavements and in laneways. Follow up inspections are undertaken to identify areas which require respraying and a further programme of spraying is scheduled to be undertaken in July/August.

Road Works on Plunkett Avenue and Dunsink Avenue.

Major works are taking place for the purpose of the reconstruction of footpaths and dishings on Plunkett Avenue and Dunsink Avenue over the next 2 months. The works on Plunkett Avenue are already underway and are scheduled to finish in the next week. Works on Dunsink Avenue are due to commence on 23rd may and to finish on 22nd June. It should be noted that the completion dates may change due to unforeseen contingencies.

64

The appointed contractor for these works is Richard Nolan Civil Engineering who will circulate information to residents on the extent of and the time frame for the works and will endeavour to keep inconvenience to residents to a minimum.

2. Housing/Estate Management Updates

C.C.T.V The C.C.T.V system is working well at present. The system continues to monitor areas where anti social behaviour is reported and public areas for illegal dumping.

Cleansing / Waste Management Waste Management and the Area Office are continuing to combat illegal dumping at open spaces. These measures include using the C.C.T.V system to monitor and identify those responsible. The Area Office has targeted illegal dumping around Musgrave’s on Balbutcher Lane and the green spaces opposite St Josephs School and Termon Court. The local bottle banks were also monitored over the last month and this resulted in a number of tenants being called in and warned about illegal dumping.

95

Public DomainComplaints in relation to Public Domain issues can now be logged by calling to the public counter in the Ballymun Office or by phoning 222 5610. Issues which can be reported include illegal dumping, graffiti, broken footpaths and open spaces.

PyriteAll remediation works are completed in Owensilla and Balbutcher Way. The last of the four families have moved back home this week and the contractor will be finishing off any outstanding snags shortly. Temporary moves are currently being prepared on Carton Road and Carton Terrace area to allow pyrite works to begin around the middle of June on four units. Tendering for the rest of the Carton estate should happen next week with works scheduled to begin in August.

Shangan AvenueDoor to door enquiries have taken place by the area office in the worst affected areas of Shangan and Whiteacre for compliance with waste management protocol. The Litter Warden has been active in the area investigating illegal dumping.

A Solar Contractor has been on site in the past number of weeks repairing a number of systems and water pumps in various units. A sign off date will not be agreed until all systems are fixed and working properly.

CoultryAll the communal stair wells along Coultry Terrace have been freshly painted. Residents are asked to take care of the communal stairwells by keeping the front entrance door locked at all times. Coultry Drive Residents have been out cleaning the area and hope to get new planters and painting in the area finished in time for summer. Dublin City Council has supplied any material needed through the Community Section. Pedestrian gates are to be installed in the coming week between Coultry Gardens and Coultry Drive in order to stop motor bikes and quad bikes from coming through here. The band stand has been removed from Coultry Park which should reduce the amount of antisocial behaviour in this area. The storage building at this site will be refurbished in the coming weeks.

Magenta CrescentResidents have been busy with planting and cleaning in the area after their successful 1916 celebrations. DCC Community section has been supporting the residents and supplying any equipment needed. The pedestrian crossing on the Swords Road at Lidl is still under negotiation and a date for the crossing to be installed cannot be agreed until the costs are agreed.

Poppintree/Courts Parks Section and Main Drainage have been working closely trying to stop the pond in Poppintree Park becoming polluted. Diesel fuel is leaking into the pond at the moment and the source cannot be found. Dublin City Council will continue to pump out the lake and monitor for the source. The open stairways in the Poppintree Crescent area and Barnwell Drive area are getting new gates in order to curb antisocial behaviour. All gates are measured and the first one should be fitted in the coming weeks. Community groups in the Poppintree area are active with cleaning common areas and preparing for spring planting in the area. Belclare Park has been active as well as residents in Druid and Crannogue Courts. Dublin City Council erected fencing and kissing gates to further protect these areas, especially Knowth Court. Doone Court and Knowth residents are particularly active painting and clearing green spaces and Dublin City Council will be starting a program of opening all laneways that are closed off. With the cooperation of the residents these laneways will

97

become less of an eye sore and come into some sort of community use as these have become a magnet for dumping and antisocial behaviour.

Rapid Housing UpdateThe first eight families moved from emergency accommodation into Baile Na Laochra on the 9th of May 2016 and the remaining 14 families will be moving in over the next 10 days.

Vacant Neighbourhood retail units – The Economic Development Officer now has access to all available units. A brochure has been produced to market each of the units and ‘To LET’ signs have been produced. The current status of vacant DCC units is:

3. Ballymun4Business (B4b)

We now have active engagement with 28 local businesses / organisations who are actively involved with promoting the 3 objectives:

Increase foot-fall Engage with community initiatives B2b networking

Achievements so far Meetings are now taking place bi-weekly in different locations in Ballymun. To date

we have held meetings in the Social Innovation Hub, Our Lady’s Nursery, Musgrave’s and the Council Chamber

2 90 sec promotional videos of local service providers have been conducted – Ballymun Credit Union and Musgrave’s. These case studies are now available on the B4b Facebook Page and You Tube Channel.

Each member will be given the opportunity to do their own case-study and they will be used on Social Media, You Tube & www.b4b.ie

Members are now given the opportunity to promote their products / services via our Facebook page

Already business is being done between members A new logo has been agreed and our new marketing materials will be available soon Actively engaging with Ballymun Tidy Towns to support their initiatives A marketing sub-committee has been formed to oversee Social Media and the

website. Work will be carried out with the web developer for a complete overhaul of the

website

B4b Communications A branding & marketing expert Liam Birkett conducted facilitation with the group to

come up with a slogan for Ballymun. The scope was to start thinking about Ballymun in a positive light and get away from negative perception. The group settled on ‘Ballymun – its ballymazing’

The idea is that we can then roll out local initiatives to show why Ballymun is ballymazing. As a stand-alone statement it doesn’t mean much however when used it in the following context such as ‘Ballymun is ballymazing because it is located just off the M50 and near to Dublin Airport – ideal for doing business’. Or ‘Ballymun is ballymazing because there is a new hot-desk facility for small business located in the Civic Centre.

Other ideas included having a ‘ballyfun day’ or creating a character called ‘Ballyman’ Events for local businesses can be referred to ‘Ballybiz day’

Item No: 18_________________________________________________________________________

With reference to the proposed disposal of land at Balbutcher Lane (Poppintree Site 6), Ballymun, Dublin 11._________________________________________________________________________

When originally built Ballymun contained no private housing. The 1998 “Masterplan of the New Ballymun” set as its objective “to provide a range of different tenures” within the Ballymun Area. This continues to be the policy position of the City Council on Ballymun. The prevailing tenure type in Ballymun continues to be predominantly local authority social housing. Co-operative Housing is seen as one method of allowing interested residents to purchase homes locally. Two previous co-operative housing projects in Ballymun had delivered 58 owner occupied units

The Baile na Laochra site (formerly Poppintree 6) had been identified by BRL since the late 1990s as a site suitable for cooperative housing projects. Two local cooperatives, CTSL and Parkside, had obtained planning permission but due to the then prevailing economic conditions were unable to proceed to site. Ó Cualann Cohousing Alliance CLG - an Approved Housing Body approached Dublin City Council with a project that can deliver cooperative homes on the site (including still interested former members of the CTSL and Parkside cooperatives).

It is therefore proposed that the sites which are shown on attached Map Index No.SM-2015-1033-002 are disposed of to Ó Cualann Co-housing Alliance CLG subject to the following terms and conditions:

Plot One

1. That Plot One is located at Balbutcher Lane, Ballymun, Dublin 11 and is shown coloured blue (in 2 parts) on attached Map Index No.SM-2015-1033-002.

2. That the current open market value of the unencumbered freehold interest with vacant possession in Plot One is in the region of €530,000 (five hundred and thirty thousand euro).

3. That the disposal price shall be in the sum of €17,000 (seventeen thousand euro) plus VAT, on the basis of planning permission being obtained for seventeen houses, on a cooperative type structure. In the event whereby planning permission is granted for less than or more than seventeen houses, the disposal price shall be adjusted on a pro-rata basis to reflect this.

4. That the Council shall dispose of the fee simple title to Plot One, to the applicant, following the receipt of the requisite approvals.

106

5. That the proposed purchaser shall obtain planning permission for and construct in the region of 17 houses on Plot One, for its cooperative members only. The completed housing units shall be conveyed for owner occupier purposes only, under an affordable type cooperative housing scheme. The completed units shall not be conveyed to any other party.

6. That all details of the affordable type cooperative housing scheme, including inter alia, method of operation, rules & regulations and assessment criteria, shall be agreed in writing with the Council’s Housing Department prior to the disposal.

7. That Dublin City Council shall clawback, on a straight line basis, the site value of each individual house unit in the event that a completed house is disposed of or let by a Cooperative member, within 10 years of the first disposal date. The clawback percentage shall be applied to the subsequent disposal price or, in the case of a letting, to the market value at that time. Where the amount payable would reduce the proceeds of the sale (disregarding all costs) below the price actually paid, the amount payable shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid that result. This clause shall also apply to the market value estimate in the case of a letting.

8. That the clawback percentage shall be calculated and agreed in writing prior to the first disposal date as follows:

Current Open Market Site Value X Subsequent Disposal Price/Market ValueAffordable Cooperative Purchase Price

9. That the proposed purchaser shall be permitted to lodge a maximum of two planning applications to the Planning Authority and a maximum of one planning appeal to An Bord Pleanala.

10. That the proposed purchaser shall be responsible for all costs in relation to the planning process.

11. That in the event that the Planning Authority refuses permission for the proposed development, the vendor reserves the right to withdraw from this disposal and take back title and possession of the site, at no cost to the Council. The disposal price shall be refunded to the applicant without the payment of interest.

12. That in the event that planning permission is not obtained within five years of the disposal date of Plot One, the vendor reserves the right to withdraw from this disposal and take back title and possession of the site, at no cost to the Council. The disposal price shall be refunded to the applicant without the payment of interest.

13. That the benefit of the planning permission and design of the scheme shall transfer to Dublin City Council in the event that the applicant does not proceed with the development.

14. That the development of Plot One shall be completed via one continuous building contract, with all infrastructural elements completed as a priority. All roads and footpaths (shown coloured yellow) shall be completed to taking in charge standard and to the written satisfaction of the Council’s Roads & Traffic Department. A suitable bond shall be lodged with Dublin City Council prior to the commencement of the development.

107

15. That Plot One shall be disposed of in its current condition and the Purchaser shall satisfy itself that the services at the site are of sufficient capacity for the development proposed.

16. That should development of Plot One not be substantially complete within 18 months following the grant of planning permission, the vendor (Dublin City Council) reserves the right to withdraw from this disposal and take possession of the site and all housing units, partially completed or otherwise, at no cost to the Council (subject to term 17 below).

17. That this agreement shall not be transferable save, if applicable, in the case of a financial institution which has entered into a mortgage with the purchaser. The mortgage must be approved by the Council in writing and must have been entered into specifically for the purposes of financing the purchaser to undertake the development of Plot One.

18. That Dublin City Council and its nominees shall retain a general right to connect to any services on the lands. The Purchaser shall have a right to connect to DCC’s drainage system.

2. That the current open market value of the unencumbered freehold interest with vacant possession in Plot Two is in the region of €1,000,000 (one million euro).

3. That the disposal price shall be in the sum of €32,000 (thirty two thousand euro) plus VAT, on the basis of planning permission being obtained for thirty two houses, on a cooperative type structure. In the event whereby planning permission is granted for less than or more than thirty two houses, the disposal price shall be adjusted on a pro-rata basis to reflect this.

4. That the Council shall dispose of the fee simple in Plot Two, to the applicant, when the permitted development on Plot One is substantially completed to the satisfaction of Dublin City Council.

5. That the proposed purchaser shall obtain planning permission for and construct in the region of 32 houses on Plot Two, for its cooperative members only. The completed housing units shall be conveyed for owner occupier purposes only, under an affordable type cooperative housing scheme. The completed units shall not be conveyed to any other party.

108

6. That all details of the affordable cooperative housing scheme, including inter alia, method of operation, rules & regulations and assessment criteria, shall be agreed in writing with the Council’s Housing Department prior to the disposal.

11. That the proposed purchaser shall be responsible for all costs in relation to the planning process.

12. That in the event that the Planning Authority refuses permission for the proposed development, the vendor reserves the right to withdraw from this disposal and take back title and possession of the site, at no cost to the Council. The disposal price shall be refunded to the applicant without the payment of interest.

Meeting: 17th May 2016 Parks & Landscape Services,Ground Floor, Block 4,

Item No: 19

Re: Proposal for Landscape Improvements at Magenta Hall

The proposal for landscape improvement at the linear open space on the eastern boundary of Magenta Wall and Swords Road, Dublin 9 is included in the Parks Improvement Works 2016 of Parks and Landscape Services for the North West Area.

Due to the maturity of the existing conifer trees at the location which prevent the establishment of ground cover plant material on the embankment at Swords Road, and the thinning out of the base of these trees which is reducing the screening value between Magenta Hall and Swords Road, has resulted in a poor impact on the presentation of Santry Village. It is therefore proposed to:

a) remove the existing conifer treesb) improve and retain the existing weldmesh fence c) carry out hedge planting and establishment along the boundaryd) carry out deciduous tree planting and grass seeding on the estate side of this fence

and ground cover planting on the embankment side of the fence to Swords Road.

The resources required for these operations are currently available. Dublin City Council is not aware of any specific representative residents association for this estate and would wish to have regard to common views from those that will be impacted by the proposals. Consideration will be taken of the impact on Magenta Hall and on Swords Road from the proposed improvement works.

Councillors are therefore invited to forward views that they may have regarding the proposals. (See attached sketch drawing).
