4.0       Proposed Development Details
4.1       Proposed design

The proposal is to establish a dual occupancy use on the site. The development will be undertaken in one
stage and the proposed design incorporates a number of elements that include the following and as
illustrated in the proposal plans in Appendix A.

      (a) The proposed dual occupancy building is two storeys high within floor levels stepped near the centre
          of the building such that the back (i.e. southern) floor levels are 1.15 metre higher.

      (b) The maximum building height in metres is 7.5 metre for the front section and 8 metres for the back
          section.

      (c) The hipped gable roof is pitched differently over each split floor level such that the hip in the front
          section runs parallel to the street and the steepest pitch of 15 degrees fronts the adjoining street.
          The hip in the back section runs at right angles to the street with equal pitches of 5 degree falling to
          side boundaries.

      (d) Four (4) parking spaces are provided on site with each dwelling benefiting from a fully enclosed and
          secure garage towards the centre of the site and a covered parking space either side of the garage.

      (e) The streetscape of each dwelling enjoys a mixed variation in materials, form and detailing with such
          design elements that include:
             (i)  variation in external materials such as between the timber of the garages on ground level
                  and the on the first level.
            (ii)  variation in form with the recessed balconies on the first level that create shadows that
                  contrast the posts and slatted screening over parts of the balustrading for each balcony
           (iii)  a mixture in detailing which includes, but certainly not limited to, the elevated garden bed on
                  the first level and the posts and slatted screening.

      (f) Each dwelling in the proposed dual occupancy use has a detached pool and gazebo at the back (i.e.
          to the south) of each dwelling with each gazebo having a skillion roof pitched to fall at 5 degree
          towards the back boundary. These are positioned to provide clearances form the existing
          underground sewerage that traverses the site.

      (g) The sides of each dwelling are therefore well articulated by form which includes but by no means
          limited to, an unenclosed car parking courtyard and private open space either side of the gazebo and
          the variations in floor levels and roof form. The sides of each dwelling are also well articulated in
          materials both horizontally and vertically with such design elements as fenced courtyard, slatted
          screens around stairs between levels.

      (h) The floor plan of each proposed dwelling is a mirror image of the adjoining proposed dwelling with
          design elements that include the following:
             (i)  a fully enclosed and secure garage towards the centre of the site with a carport either side of
                  these garages that is covered by the first level above.
            (ii)  a living area of the ground level with internal access to the secure garage and laundry area
                  which is off the courtyard.
           (iii)  four bedrooms are provided in each dwelling on the first level with two bedrooms benefiting
                  from their own ensuite and two bedrooms sharing a bathroom/toilet.
           (iv)   private open space in the form of a pool gazebo and associated landscaping.

      (i) The road fence to Hilton Terrace and associated gates which incorporate a garden bed and are to be
          partially screened with the assistance of slats and which are setback in part from the road boundary
          of the site by up to 1 metre.

      (j) There is a centrally positioned two-way driveway that is shared by both proposed dwellings and each
          dwelling has its own pedestrian access through a gate from which the front door of each respective
          dwelling is clearly visible.
