It is furthermore applied to alienate/lease approximately 804 square meters of Municipal Land (a portion of Erf 1316 Knysna) east of Erf 3402 Knysna (Please refer Annexure E). It is deemed necessary to obtain this land to provide five (5) additional parking bays to the development but also to provide localized off street public parking to the area as a whole. No physical development will take place on this portion and therefore basic municipal services can still be rendered from this property (a previous application was refused on the basis of that the Municipality requires the property for basic Municipal Services). Necessary servitudes can be registered if required to the satisfaction of Council.
