Response to Information Request - MCU24-0074 · MCU24/0074

       28. Amend the GENERAL ARRANGEMENT PLAN - GROUND FLOOR,
           DRAWING#010, REV B prepared by RECOR Engineering to address the
           following;
               a.   Include the dimensions for all vehicle spaces including carparks, motorcycle
                    parks and loading bay dimensions in accordance with AS/NSZ2890.1:2004,
                    AS/NSZ2890.2:2004, AS/NSZ2890.6:2009. It is noted that length dimensions are
                    missing for the loading bays.
               b.   Include the location and dimensions of the PWD bay (if proposed) as shown
                    adjacent to the MRV loading bay on the ground floor carpark consistent with the
                    GROUND PLAN DRAWING# 1004, ISSUE 2 prepared by Push Architecture.
               c.   Include the location of Electric Vehicle parks consistent with GROUND PLAN
                    DRAWING# 1004, ISSUE 2 prepared by Push Architecture.
       29. Amend the plans to include the location and expected area of associated
           Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure to ensure no conflicts with
           parking or landscaping areas.
       30. Confirm the number of motorcycle parks to be provided on the ground
           floor carpark adjacent to the Albert Street access. The GROUND PLAN
           DRAWING# 1004, ISSUE 2 prepared by Push Architecture annotates 5
           spaces, however only 4 spaces have been provided.
       31. Demonstrate that a compliant aisle width can be maintained around the
           MRV loading bay in accordance with Figure 2.2 AS/NSZ2890.1:2004.
       32. Council is unsupportive of tandem carparks unless provided for staff
           carparking. Amend basement carparking plans to designate tandem
           spaces for staff parking only or remove spaces.
       33. Provide swept path manoeuvres to demonstrate that the waste collection
           arrangement for 6 Thomas Street (described as Lot 1 RP161212) is not
           compromised by the proposed development. Include any changes to the
           existing access easements A, B, C & D if required.

A detailed carparking table (provided as part of this response) confirms that a minimum of
60 car, 18 motorcycles and 19 bicycles spaces should be provided (including a reduction
of 3 car spaces accounted for by way of ‘contributions in lieu’. The revised design provides
parking spaces for 64 cars, 18 motorcycles and 19 bicycles; with the proposed removal of
4 driveways providing for 5 of these car spaces and 8 of these motorcycle spaces to be
located in the roadside reserve. Detailed manoeuvring plans are provided by Recor
Engineering demonstrating compliance with the Australian Standards. Commentary about
waste servicing is also included following discussions with Council’s waste management
team. It is proposed that waste collection will occur offsite, within Albert St for residential
collection and Thomas St for commercial collection. As a result, no waste vehicles will be
required to access the site.

While this may not be in strict accordance with the Planning Scheme Policy for waste, we
would note that that requiring MRVs to transit through the property (from Albert Street to
Thomas Street), to collect waste on site, will have adverse safety implications for
pedestrians entering, exiting and transiting through the property and for persons shopping
at the Laneway Flowers & Coffee Shop (located at 6 Thomas St.). Furthermore, the
Ground Manoeuvring Plans provided by Recor Engineering confirm that the awning over
the public footpath in front of the neighbouring property (at 6 Thomas Street) combined
with the limited width of both the shared easement and of the road in front of 6 Thomas
Street will make it unsafe for MRVs to exit the site and turn left on to Thomas Street. The
collection of waste from all other properties will continue to occur on Thomas Street.
