      excessive bulk to side neighbours (eg.                  ii otherwise - 5 degrees; and

       Highlighted areas non complying

Alternative Solution for Roof Form
As indicated above, the roof form proposal does not comply with the Probable solutions. We believe the
proposal provides alternative solutions for the consideration of Council. We offer the following as
justification for the alternative roof form:
S14.1 a) ii        a roof pitch less than 5 degrees
The solution uses simple traditional roof forms (beach shack skillions), and the predominant pitch
presented to the street maintains the suggested 5 degrees. The front deck roof pitches at 2 degrees
toward the side boundary and balances the adjacent expressed frame form.
Other roofs are pitched away from the site boundaries at 2 degrees and are not visible from the road
way. Any possibility of excessive bulk is broken down by limiting the length of walls without overhangs,
and providing awnings to reduce the scale of the walls
