Appendix 6 - Council Pre-lodgement Minutes 11.09.14 (00005274)

 Density & Plot Ratio – Previous pre-lodgement advice indicated there may be some planning
 merit in achieving a density consistent with retirement and special needs housing for the site’s
 Community Services zoning (160 persons per ha). The amended development density
 proposed still exceeds 160 person/ha, and exceeds density and plot ratio for dwellings
 allowed anywhere in the locality. The applicant’s grounds to overcome this conflict were
 discussed but are not considered strong. As such, the proposal is unlikely to be supported in
 its current form.

 Council would seek a pedestrian access easement through the northern portion of the site to
 connect the Council owned carparks.

 The following engineering issues require further assessment:
  Drainage strategy for the site including stormwater detention, stormwater quality treatment
    areas and connection to the Council’s drainage system.
  Gravity drainage for the basement. Applicant indicated that mechanical pump out of
    basement would not be required and this would need to be further demonstrated.
  Traffic Impact:
         o The submitted Traffic Report addresses the parking and manoeuvring on the site
            but not the impact on the traffic in Doonella Street. This street is currently subject
            to significant daily traffic congestion during peak hours. The impact on traffic is a
            primary issue in considering this development proposal.
         o Turning area/space is required at the end of the isle in the parking area of the
            basement.
