It is also noted that the existing development does not exceed the permissible site cover and that
the additional 32.9m2 of site cover attributed to the shade sail will not result in site cover being
exceeded. Furthermore, the installation of the structure will not result in the loss of existing
vegetation.
The applicant’s requested re-wording of condition 31 is generally supported however the request to
remove any reference to structures within condition 41 is not supported. It is recommended that
condition 41 be re-worded such that it clearly details the approved extent of area and associated
setbacks. The requirement that the shade structure not be fitted with roll down plastic or similar
weather-proof walls be maintained on the basis that these are unsightly and result in visual clutter.
Accordingly, it is recommended that Council indicate its support to amend conditions 31 and 41 to
read generally as follows:
31.   Development undertaken in accordance with this approval must generally comply with the
      approved plans of development and Figures 1 and 2 and as amended by Condition 41. The
      approved plans are numbered 9977SK04I, ESK01J, SK02E, and SK03C prepared by Greg
      Gibbs Architects and dated November 1999. The material to be used for the construction of all
      balcony rails shall be of transparent or open materials, but not vertical rails and to the
      satisfaction of the Manager Development Assessment.
41.   The area of outdoor dining must not exceed a total of 15.5m2. The outdoor dining area may be
      covered by a shade sail of 32.9m2 and setback a minimum of 4.6m from Gympie Terrace and
      3m from James Street as shown on the approved plans of development. The shade structure
      must not exceed 3m in height and must not be fitted with roll down plastic or similar
      weatherproof walls.
