Applicant’s Response

1. Refer to Plan A.001 within the Revised Architectural Plans prepared by Zest Building Design (Attachment 1).
The alfresco areas of Units 1 and 3 have been redesigned to incorporate an open pergola. The majority of the
built form bulk has been setback from the Peral Street boundary by 6 metres. A section of each unit is setback
from the boundary at 5.5 metres. A relaxation of this minor intrusion is sought and is justified as it breaks the
horizontal plane of the Unit’s built form and creates depth and interest.
