PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                         12 JULY 2022


Condition 2.2
The depth of the vertical screen along the front façade of Unit 1 is to be reduced to 350mm; the
outermost projection of Unit 1 is not to exceed 5.45 metres from the front property boundary.
Applicant’s Representation
The projection of the vertical screen across the front facade of unit 1 was intended to provide
access behind the screen for maintenance as well as additional articulation and shade for the
ground floor tenancy. Council’s request to reduce the depth to 350mm is not practical for
construction or ongoing building maintenance. Accordingly, if the setback must be reduced, it is
proposed to incorporate a projection for the screen of 600mm, which results in a front setback of
5.4m. It is sought that condition 2.2 be amended as follows:
2.2   The depth of the vertical screen along the front façade of Unit 1 is to be reduced to 350
      600mm; the outermost projection of Unit 1 is not to exceed 5.45 5.4 metres from the front
      property boundary
Assessment of Representation
The applicant seeks to reduce the setback by a further 50mm to achieve a setback of 5.4 metres
in lieu of the conditioned 5.45 metres from the projection of the vertical screen to the front boundary.
Figure 5 shows the fixed screen and the proposed projection which was conditioned to be reduced.
The proposed change is considered reasonable and it is agreed to amend Condition 2.2.
