     the outdoor space can be better utilised by the adjoining residents without impeding on the
     privacy of others.


     The area between the backs of the units is to be developed as landscaped open space which
     will provide visual and physical separation between units, facilitate overland flows, and
     provide aesthetic enhancement to the outlook from internal rooms and outdoor spaces.
     Whereas the space will be accessible for maintenance purposes, such areas are not
     intended to be used as an active use area by residents. In selected areas garden beds will
     be provided for those residents expressing a desire to grow vegetables and/or flowers.

     Suspended floors will be utilised across the steeper parts of the site to minimise the extent of
     earthworks and in order to keep retaining structures to a minimum (refer to typical sections
     Dwg 0588_TP_09 in Attachment 1).

4.3 Independent Living Units (Apartments)

     The independent living units within the retirement village will be provided primarily in the form
     of attached and detached houses. Two small low-rise apartment buildings are also proposed
     on the site to provide a choice of unit types for the future residents.


     Detailed floor plans and elevations for the apartment buildings are shown on Drawings
     0588_TP_11 to 22. The apartments comprise a mix of 2 bedroom units and 2 bedroom plus
     study units.


     The basement of apartment building 1 on the eastern side of the site will comprise a partial
     third storey where the slopes fall away from the entry. The area is proposed to be left open
     to provide natural ventilation and to avoid the need for filling which would of itself provide a
     contrived result if the building was to be finished as a maximum of 2 storeys as the terms are
     defined. The area between the building and the boundary will be landscaped such that the
     basement will be largely screened from external views.


     Basement parking is provided on the basis of 1 space per unit. Visitor parking in the ratio of
     1 space per 4 units is provided on the adjacent roadway near the entry to the apartment
     building.
