Proposal Description
The project applicant proposes to formally develop a portion of land for residential purposes, directly adjacent south of the town of Reitz, Free State Province. The proposed development will entail formal construction of approximately 8.69 ha in size, for the proposed residential infrastructure. The town forms part of the Nketoana Local Municipality which in turn, forms part of the Thabo Mufutsanyane District Municipality. The assessment area falls within the municipal urban edge. Access to the assessment area is obtained by way of Froneman Street, from the north. The proposed development plans to include the following: 7x 3000m² Residential stands 7x 1500m² Residential stands 10x 1000m² Residential stands 10x 800m² Residential stands 10x 20 units per hectare Townhouses 10x 40 units per hectare Townhouses 10x 40 units per hectare Townhouses Internal roads and open spaces. Services: Water supply: Nketoana Municipality currently pumps out raw water from Liebenbergvlei river to the Reitz Water Treatment Works for purification. Potable water is then pumped to the Reservoir and Gravity-fed to the town of Reitz and Petsana. The Treatment Works also supplies Petrus Steyn via a dedicated pipeline since it falls under Nketoana’s jurisdiction. The proposed development will demand 53.255kl/day. Sanitation: On the northern side of the proposed development, there is a wastewater and sewer disposal chamber alongside Froneman Street. A water-borne sewer disposal system is proposed, and the internal reticulation will use piping with a minimum diameter of 110 mm and appropriate manholes will be installed at a maximum of 80 m as prescribed by the local authority. Stormwater Management: Approximately one third of the development’s topography (the Northern most part of the site) will slope towards the existing stormwater infrastructure at Viljoen Street while the rest will be directed towards the Natural Channel located along the Southern Boundary of the site using roadside kerbing, piping, grid-inlets, concrete channels and existing retention dam. Roads: Morgen 542 currently has 5 (five) access points. One of these points is located along Springbok Avenue/Viljoen Street which runs from the R26 road to the town’s Central Business District. The road is currently in a good state (type: skid-resistant surfaced road) and has a width of approximately 7.6 metres. The other 4 accesses are in Froneman Street. The road is a gravel route with a gradual fall towards the development. Electricity: The electricity onsite is currently supplied by Nketoana Local Municipality. High-Voltage Overhead Eskom lines and an Electric Box were noted on the Property.
