Response 4:

Issue 2:

Telstra cables are the only service crossed by the driveway. See attached an email
from Telstra stating that their cables do not require alteration or relocating as a result
of the new driveway construction.

The site has a frontage to Olivine lane and aside from a new stormwater outlet, the
applicant is not proposing any new works. This intent does not appear to be in
accordance with Specific Outcome O13 of the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code.
The proposed stormwater outlet is located within a section of layback kerb and in
close proximity to an existing stormwater outlet from the adjoining development.

Information Required:

Response 6:

5. Demonstrate how the proposed development achieves Specific Outcome O13 of
the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code.
6. Provide additional detail on the proposed stormwater outlet to Olivine lane. The
detail must include:
a. any necessary kerb changes;
b. the relationship with the existing stormwater outlet from the adjoining
development; and
c. The discharge rate from the development site.

Below we list the items to be addressed in 013-S13.1:

a. We have provided the same sealed road width as the rest of the lane and as other
developments in the lane were required to complete.

b. We investigated extending the concrete kerb and channel to the north boundary but
found that to do that and maintain the sealed road width for the existing laneway the
west edge of the seal would be 1.2m from the boundary on the opposite side of the
lane instead of the 1.6m now. We believe this is not a desirable outcome as the table
drain is already encroaching on the boundary and so did not proceed further.

a) & c) We have provided additional detail on our Plan 1622-02 which shows that the
stormwater outlet from the site now connects directly into the gully pit. This now
complies with 14.147(013) Frontage Works.

b) There is no relationship with the existing stormwater outlet from the adjoining
development.

d) The existing verge is already formed and graded and turfed which is to a higher
standard than the rest of the lane. As we believe the intention is to leave the rest of
the lane verge vegetated we believe the existing verge fulfils the outcome.

e) The laneway frontage has a suitable existing access crossing which allows turn
paths for vehicles to enter and leave the site. Our design for a new driveway in
Tewantin Road provides a suitable vehicular kerb and footpath crossing.

f) There is no room on either frontage verge for a constructed bikeway and no other
frontage verges have a bikeway and so the design achieves these outcome.

g) Olivine Lane does not have room in the verge for a constructed footpath. The lane
itself is used as a footpath for the remainder of the lane and so we believe our design
achieves the outcome.

There is a constructed footpath on the Tewantin Road frontage which we have
designed to be reconstructed to conform to Council's standards as part of the
Driveway Design.
