Minor Change Report 131999 982846 3 [As Published] · 131999.982846.3

               The applicant is proposing a varied setback of 1.1-1.2 meters along the eastern boundary, and
               therefore does not comply with AO9.3 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code. The proposal is
               required to comply with corresponding Performance Outcome PO9 of the Low Density Residential
               Zone Code, which states:
               PO9        Buildings and structures are designed and sited to:
                          a.      provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises,
                                  including provision of visual and acoustic privacy and access to sunlight;
                          b.      not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or
                                  habitable areas of adjoining premises;
                          c.      provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
                          d.      preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development;
                          e.      allow for space and landscaping to be provided between buildings including
                                  adequate area at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs and outdoor living;
                          f.      be consistent with the predominant character of the streetscape; and
                          g.      protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important
                                  areas such as national parks, waterways and wetlands.
               The proposed building works will not introduce overlooking or impact on visual and acoustic
               privacy. The lift will be cladded to match the existing dwelling materials, no windows are proposed.
               The applicant has provided a conceptual view line diagram in respect of changes to the view
               experienced from 11 Arakoon Crescent. The applicant submits: …given the location of the existing
               dwelling at 18 Arakoon Crescent, and surrounding vegetation, the proposed side setback
               encroachment of the lift would not further obstruct the views from 11 Arakoon Crescent. The lift
               structure will also have a lower height than the existing roof line of the dwelling and consequently
               not be visible above the height of the dwelling. Figure 3 also illustrates that the view line between
               18 and 20 Arakoon Crescent is limited due to the narrow width between the two buildings.
               Further to the applicant’s justification against the Performance outcome, the area of development
               is an existing titled terrace, with little ability to provide in-ground landscaping.
               The proposed addition for the purpose of a lift, achieves compliance with the Performance
               outcome. Additional conditions will be provided to reflect the existing approval.

               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
