Appendix B

      A minimum landscape setback of 6 metres shall be provided to all boundaries, apart from existing
     development, with existing vegetation retained and reinforced in the setbacks to maintain the amenity
     of adjoining residents and a visual screen to Cooroy Noosa Road.

Concerns raised by Council included:

     proximity of driveway to adjoining site to the north;
     the interface between the facility and the residential uses to the north;
     amenity issues; and
     frequency of laundry vehicles and gas delivery vehicles.

Alternatives were discussed including reducing the width of the driveway and introducing
a passing bay, whilst still ensuring emergency vehicle access is provided, so as to be able to
increase the amount of landscaping along the rear boundary.

An alternative solution is to be provided addressing Council s concerns

(c) Setback to street frontage

The proposal includes car parking along the southern boundary of the site. This car
parking is set back 4.5m from the street frontage, as opposed to 6m as required by
Condition 2.10.

Council indicated that the proposed 4.5m setback could be acceptable, provided existing
vegetation is retained and/or more landscaping provided.

(d) Setback to eastern boundary and location of new kitchen block

The proposal includes a turning circle in the south eastern corner of the site, within the
6m setback requirement. Access to the turning circle is from the existing access point. This
turning circle removes the need for a refuse and delivery vehicles to undertake a three
point turn in this area. It is proposed to move the kitchen block to the eastern side of the
site close to this delivery area. The kitchen block is more than 6m from the eastern
boundary.

Concerns raised by Council included:

     protection of neighbour s amenity;
     noise generated by vehicles and by kitchen and service block;
     reversing operations so close to neighbouring property;
     high activity area so close to neighbouring property;
     preferable not to extend in this corner unless layout reviewed; and
     number of parking spaces here can be reduced provided overall parking spaces on the
     site comply with the planning scheme requirements.

Options were discussed relating to relocating the manoeuvring area, landscaping, acoustic
treatments, and a traffic management plan which restricts the number of delivery and
refuse vehicles permitted per day. The location of the new kitchen and services block was
discussed in relation to access, refuse collection and deliveries, and acoustic issues.

An alternative design solution and layout is to be provided addressing Council s concerns.

(e) Engineering issues

     loss of on street parking acceptable; and
     car parking is to be provided at rates set out in the planning scheme, including
