RE:      Response to Information Request MCU21/0168 – 32 Maple St, Cooroy


Council issued a further advice request on 15 October 2021. The applicant provides the
following additional information in response to the items:


1.       Provide further information about the functionality of the floor space and
         provide significant justification/confirmation for the use of these spaces.
2.       Consider and respond to parking requirements accordingly.

Please find updated proposal plan with use areas split between the front café and the
office at the rear.

Food and Drink Outlet

     •   The café includes 111m2 of sit-down dining areas marked in purple addressing the
         Maple St and Wimmers Lane frontages - providing for an active streetscape.
     •   The café also provides for 124m2 of circulation space that cannot be used by
         patrons for dining/siting, as it is required to be always left open for fire access and
         egress. The circulation area extends to the rear office areas as it is intended to be
         used by both businesses with the café to bring products and garbage from the
         stores through the building to the back of house kitchen and vice versa.
     •   The parking areas have been reconsidered to allow for a Pantech to load and
         deliver to the site within the rear carpark area.
     •   Garbage is to be stored in the service court and able to be wheeled out to allow for
         garbage pick up on the site. In this regard, the access splay has been amended to
         improve the current circulation and manoeuvring.


Office

     •   The office is located at the rear of the site and is intended to operate as a real
         estate office with client meeting areas accessible through the café. Although the
         two businesses are separate they share an entrance access from Maple St and
         carparking areas at the rear.
     •   Existing carparking is to be line marked along Wimmers Lane and landscaping
         installed in front of the bays to improve the amenity of the site.
