PM Submission - Robyn Hewitt MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

                     11. Sprout Architects Ground Floor Hotel – MPR? Meal Preparation Room?
                     I do not understand why the change from “Motel” to “Hotel” or whether or not this
                     has any significance.

                     12. Sprout Architects Reed House Section Analysis
                     I consider that the amount of solar access and ventilation is limited and
                     inappropriate according to this analysis. The number of hours of solar access that
                     these windows and open spaces will receive is not clear. The apparent inadequacy
                     is caused by the developer’s attempt to maximize the density and ground coverage
                     of the site.


                     13. The Reed Beach Houses - secondary dwelling units
                     While I realize that the developer has provided a physical linkage from each
                     secondary dwelling to the main dwelling unit, the fact still remains that the
                     secondary dwelling can be locked off and separately occupied. If this occurs the
                     secondary dwelling will require a separate carpark which will not be available if
                     the present DA is approved.

                     I submit that the secondary dwelling should either be removed in its entirety or,
                     at very least, the associated kitchen and living area should not be approved.

                     The current DA proposes that these Reed Beach Houses will be for permanent
                     residents and with 2 persons sharing each of four bedrooms that could result in
                     80 permanent residents in the Reed Beach House alone.

                     As stated in the Information Request at page 9 of 13
                            “The proposed land use is a substantial variation from that which has
                            previously been approved on the site or is supported under the Open Space
                            Recreation Zone. As the proposed style of development is more consistent
                            with that expected to be found within the nearby Semi-Attached Housing
                            Zone it is considered that the development should be compatible to both the
                            Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions for the Eastern Beaches Locality
                            related to the Semi-Attached Housing Zone and the existing built form and
                            established character within Peregian Beach.

                     COMMENT: in the my opinion, the design for the Reed Beach Houses is upside
                     down. The bedrooms should be on the ground floor and the living areas on the
                     first floor. This would enable the living areas to have greater solar access and, if
                     the secondary dwelling units are removed, give them the possibility of some
                     outlook, which is not available with the current design.

                     14. Building Heights
                     As a result of the proposed filling of the site both the Multiple Housing dwellings
                     and Visitor Accommodation/Shared Housing building exceed the preferred
                     maximum building height. Of particular concern is the height of the Hotel/Motel
                     building and how this may affect vistas from David Low Way towards the
                     National Park and Cooroy Mountain. If the DA is approved, Council will need to
                     specify the height of this building to ensure that the vista is maintained.
