The above-mentioned response and Plans prepared by Callaghan & Toth
address the issue of stormwater drainage to Olivine Lane.

The planning report of the Development Application stated that a 14 metre
rear setback is proposed from the proposed dwelling to the rear boundary;
this setback is from the rear dwelling to the Olivine Lane boundary; which is
the rear boundary of the community title scheme. It is noted that a 2 metre
setback has been proposed from the rears of the dwellings to the common
boundary within the community title scheme.

Notwithstanding the above this please find below an assessment of the
development with respect to Specific Outcome O8 of the Cooroy and Lake
Macdonald Locality Code:

$08 Buildings and other structures are appropriately designed and sited to-

a) Provide amenity for users as well as preserve the visual and
acoustic privacy of adjoining and nearby properties.

e¢ The development enhances the amenity of the users by providing
direct access to private landscaped open space;

e A discrete change of level between the dwellings provides
complete visual privacy as neither dwelling can overlook its
neighbour;

e The skillion roof of the new dwelling has been designed to have
minimal visual impact on the existing dwelling.; and

e Acoustic and visual privacy is provided by screening, fencing and
landscaping. There is also complete separation of living areas
between each dwelling. The outlook for the proposed new
dwelling living area is toward the northwest and the existing
dwelling to the north-east, screened from the neighbouring
property.

b) Preserve any existing vegetation that will buffer the proposed
building from adjoining uses.

e The existing vegetation adjacent to the existing dwelling will be
retained;

e Proposed landscaping will provide a buffer and will screen the new
building from the existing (as shown on the Landscaping Plan);
and

e The existing vegetation along the northern boundary will be
retained and enhanced with additional planting providing a buffer
to the adjoining properties.
