Response to Council's Information Request · MCU14/0077

In response to Item 2 of Council’s Information Request, please refer to the amended
Design Plans DD701 and DD702 prepared by Cool Architecture included within Appendix
A of this response. The amended Design Plans extend the Acmena smithii plantings to
the eastern side of the bin enclosure.

Engineering

Issue
The proposed carparking area is not dimensioned and Council has concerns with
the potential for conflicts with vehicles in spaces 12-15 and vehicles entering the site.

Information Required
3. Provide a plan of the access driveway and carparking area that:
     (a) is prepared in accordance with AS/NZS2890.1:2004 for the relevant user classes
     (class 1 for staff, class 3 for customers);
     (b) is fully dimensioned; and
     (c) allocates staff and customer spaces (as a minimum spaces 12-15 must
     be allocated as “staff”).

In response to Item 3 of Council’s Information Request, please refer to the amended
Design Plan DD202 prepared by Cool Architecture included within Appendix A of this
response. The amended Design Plan ensures compliance with Items a-c, as outlined
above.

4.   Provide a plan that indicates the travel path for a heavy vehicle (delivery)
     accessing the site, loading/unloading area and exit path. Any carspaces that would
     be obstructed by a heavy vehicle loading/unloading must be allocated as a “staff”
     space.

In response to Item 4 of Council’s Information Request, please refer to the amended
Design Plan DD203 prepared by Cool Architecture included within Appendix A of this
response. The amended Design Plan indicates the travel path for a heavy vehicle
(delivery) accessing the site, loading/unloading area and exit path, and also allocates any
carspaces that may be obstructed by a heavy vehicle loading/unloading as a “staff” space.

Issue
The submitted driveway design plans require additional information.

Information Required
5. Provide additional proposed driveway finished surface levels to demonstrate that
     all surface runoff is directed to the bio basin or alternatively include a grate across
     the entrance to the site that discharges into the bio basin for those areas that do
     not naturally drain to the bio basin.

In response to Item 5 of Council’s Information Request, please refer to the amended
Engineering Plans prepared by Construction Hydraulic included within Appendix B of this
response. The amended Engineering Plans provide additional proposed driveway finished
surface levels to demonstrate that all surface runoff is directed to the bio basin or
alternatively include a grate across the entrance to the site that discharges into the bio
basin for those areas that do not naturally drain to the bio basin.

6.   Provide additional detail of the proposed material and surface finish for the driveway,
     carparking and “fenced open use warehouse” area.
