REC14/0007 & OPW14/0253 Report

      The boundary realignment would result in 1 Detached Housing battle axe lot that does not
      meet the minimum lot size of 800m².Given the established lot size and character in the
      surrounding area, option 1 is likely to be supported.

      Option 2 - Preliminary Approval for Multiple Dwelling Type 2 (Duplex) or Type 4
      (Conventional)
      This option is the second stage to Option 1 and would seek an approval for either 4 x 2
      bedroom dwelling units or 3 x 3 bedroom units.

      The smaller lots at the rear would remain as detached house lots.

      This option would trigger additional infrastructure charges as follows:
      4/2 bedroom dwelling units - $78,000 less the credit of $27,000 = $51,000
      3/3 bedroom dwelling units - $81,000 less the credit of $27,000 = $54,000

      Comment
      As identified for option 1 above, multiple dwellings as outlined in option 2, are a consistent
      use in the Semi-Attached zoned portion of the site. The application would be impact
      assessable and is likely to be supported.

      Detached houses in the Detached Housing lots are code assessable, triggered by the
      Natural Resources Overlay with Coastal Protection.

      Option 3 - Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 lot into 2 lots)
      Subdivide Lot 676 in half to create an additional lot (1lot into 2 lots), simultaneously
      creating a reciprocal right of way easement to access the rear lots being the balance of
      Lot 676 and Lot 675.This would result in 1 Semi-Attached zoned lot and 1 Detached
      Housing zoned lot.

      This option would trigger infrastructure charges most likely $27,000 for a new 3 bedroom
      dwelling unit lot.

      Comment
      Both the resultant lots would not meet the minimum lot size in their respective zonings.
      However, given the established lot size and character in the surrounding area, option 3 is
      likely to be supported. In accordance with comments on option 1 the access easement
      would be required to be sealed and constructed prior to the sealing of the survey plan.
      This option results in 4 individual lots.

      Option 4 - Preliminary Approval for Multiple Dwelling Type 2 (Duplex) or Type 4
      (Conventional)
      This option is the second stage to Option 3 and would seek approval for:
          a) 2 x 2 bedroom dwelling units on each of the front lots,
          b) or 2 x 3 bedroom dwelling units on one of the front lots and
          c) a single 3 bedroom dwelling unit (a detached house) on the other front lot.

      This option would trigger additional infrastructure charges as calculated in Option 2
      however there would be an additional $27,000 credit allowed due to that amount being
      paid to create the additional lot.

      Comment
      Option 4a) seeking approval for 2 x 2 bedroom units on the Semi-Attached zoned lots
      fronting Stevens Street (a duplex on each of the lots) is likely to be supported as this is a
      code assessable application and complies with the density of 4.8 persons for the site.
