Site cover
O9 The site cover of buildings and other roofed structures—
a) is of a scale that is compatible The adjoining unit development to the west (56 Park Road) is setback
with surrounding development;       6m from the Park Road service entry. This development is located at a
                                    higher topography than the subject site and is mostly screened from
                                    the Park Road and Mitti Street roadways.

                                      The adjoining unit development to the south (21-25 Mitti Street) is
                                      currently setback 4.5m from the Mitti Street frontage. However, most
                                      of the adjoining building bulk is set further up the hill, located away
                                      from the Mitti Street carparking area and includes substantial
                                      vegetation between the building and the road (mostly on the road
                                      reserve), making it not particularly noticeable from the street.
