PM Submission Object - Kerry Simmonds - MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

                 The air-conditioning and refrigeration plant for the Peregian Beach Hotel are mounted on
                 the rear of the Hotel. This will be will be a source of noise for the residents of the Reed
                 Houses who will be 6 metres below the ground level of the Peregian Beach Hotel.

                 I consider that the developer should be required to submit a noise mitigation plan agreed
                 between the Peregian Beach Hotel and the developer with a formal commitment by each
                 party to implement the plan, prior to any proposed development being considered by
                 Council. The implementation of the plan is to be certified by a suitably qualified and
                 independent acoustic consultant. It will be too late if Council approves the DA and the
                 Peregian Beach Hotel and the developer cannot reach agreement.
                 8. The Vista from David Low Way
                 It appears that the Hotel/Motel will not obscure the vista of the western mountains from
                 David Low Way. This vista needs to be protected. The accommodation units will be behind
                 and below the Peregian Beach Hotel by about 6m and, therefore, will not be visible from
                 David Low Way but it is important that they do not exceed the height allowed under the
                 Noosa Plan especially along Rufous Lane.
                 9. Sprout Architects Site Sections shows a 12m height above natural ground level
                 especially for Lot 12 which would appear to be grossly excessive.

                 10. Pathway through the development
                 It is proposed to provide a public pathway linking Rufous Lane with the IGA and the Motel
                 and through the Supermarket site to both Sandpiper Lane and David Low Way (via the
                 lift). This pathway is desirable if the DA is approved.

                 11. Sprout Architects Ground Floor Hotel – MPR? Meal Preparation Room?
                 I do not understand why the change from “Motel” to “Hotel” or whether or not this has any
                 significance.

                 12. Sprout Architects Reed House Section Analysis
                 I consider that the amount of solar access and ventilation is limited and inappropriate
                 according to this analysis. The number of hours of solar access that these windows and
                 open spaces will receive is not clear. The apparent inadequacy is caused by the developer’s
                 attempt to maximize the density and ground coverage of the site.

                 13. The Reed Beach Houses - secondary dwelling units
                 While I realize that the developer has provided a physical linkage from each secondary
                 dwelling to the main dwelling unit, the fact still remains that the secondary dwelling can be
                 locked off and separately occupied. If this occurs the secondary dwelling will require a
                 separate carpark which will not be available if the present DA is approved.

                 I submit that the secondary dwelling should either be removed in its entirety or, at very
                 least, the associated kitchen and living area should not be approved.

                 The current DA proposes that these Reed Beach Houses will be for permanent residents
                 and with 2 persons sharing each of four bedrooms that could result in 80 permanent
                 residents in the Reed Beach House alone.
