MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL<br />

18 SEPTEMBER 2012<br />

Submission<br />

Number<br />

Submission Details<br />

Variation to clause 6.3.1- The proposed<br />

wall setback on the Upper floor is less<br />

than half the standard. This raises<br />

concerns <strong>of</strong> proximity <strong>of</strong> the windows to or<br />

home theatre/ living, bedrooms and<br />

bathrooms this affecting privacy, close<br />

proximity <strong>of</strong> the proposed dwelling to<br />

bedrooms creating noise pollution and<br />

concerns <strong>of</strong> affect on natural sunlight to<br />

our home theatre/ living room, bedroom<br />

and bathroom from the North/ East- we<br />

are therefore unhappy with the proposal.<br />

Variation to clause 6.6.1- Our concerns<br />

are that the natural ground level <strong>of</strong> the<br />

proposed dwelling is already higher than<br />

our property. Now with an increase in<br />

height <strong>of</strong> retaining the boundary wall is<br />

extremely high from our side - we are<br />

therefore unhappy with this proposal.<br />

Officer's Comment<br />

The retaining wall identified in the<br />

objection has now been removed by the<br />

applicant as part <strong>of</strong> a design amendment.<br />

The proposed development has been<br />

reviewed in relation to the approved plans<br />

<strong>of</strong> the objectors dwellings. Based on this<br />

review, the <strong>City</strong>’s <strong>of</strong>ficers are satisfied<br />

that the proposed development will not<br />

adversely impact on the objectors<br />

dwelling.<br />

Second Round <strong>of</strong> Advertising<br />

4<br />

In summary, we as owners <strong>of</strong> a<br />

neighbouring property have concerns that<br />

the proposed variations to normal/<br />

standard are significant variations- and are<br />

not merely minor variations. As such we<br />

would appreciate these proposed<br />

variations be reviewed with our concerns<br />

considered.<br />

Residential Building Height- Wall Height<br />

Exceeding 6.0m<br />

The proposed height has only been<br />

reduced by 100mm, with the wall height<br />

still 400mm above the required 6m. This<br />

will still have an impact on natural light<br />

from the North/East to our home<br />

theatre/living, bedroom and bathrooms we<br />

thus request a further reduction in this wall<br />

height.<br />

Variation to clause 6.3.1- Buildings<br />

setback from the boundary<br />

The proposed wall setback on the ground<br />

floor is still 540mm less than the standard<br />

i.e) 1.26m in lieu <strong>of</strong> 1.8- and not been<br />

amended.<br />

This will create noise pollution to our<br />

bedrooms due to the close proximity <strong>of</strong> the<br />

proposed entertaining areas being<br />

alfresco and family which are high noise<br />

areas used for entertaining, privacy, and<br />

any natural sunlight to our bedrooms and<br />

bathrooms will be impacted- we therefore<br />

still request that this be amended.<br />

Ground Floor Setbacks: The proposed<br />

variations have been assessed in relation<br />

to the relevant R-Code performance<br />

criteria, and are considered to meet those<br />

criteria.<br />

The proposed minor variation is not<br />

considered to have a significant adverse<br />

impact on the amenity <strong>of</strong> the adjoining<br />

property.<br />

Upper Floor Setback: The proposed<br />

variations have been assessed in relation<br />

to the relevant R-Code performance<br />

criteria, and are considered to meet those<br />

criteria. The proposed minor variation is<br />

not considered to have a significant<br />

adverse impact on the amenity <strong>of</strong> the<br />

adjoining property.<br />

The objection refers to the impact the<br />

reduced setback would have on the<br />

privacy <strong>of</strong> the adjoining property’s theatre<br />

room; however, there are no major<br />

opening to habitable rooms included<br />

within proposed upper storey and<br />

adjoining neighbour’s theatre room.<br />
