9. Probable Solution 37.1 of the Semi Attached housing zone indicates that garages are to be

setback 6.0 metres, adopt a roof form and building style similar to the building and present a
minimum width to the street. The Residential Uses code however requires that garages are to
be stepped back 600mm from each other. This requirement is considered excessive,
inappropriate and redundant in enabling development to achieve an appropriate development
form.

It is noted that if a development provides a double garage then there would be no requirement
for the stepping of garages, however when two individual garages are proposed for
architectural and aesthetic reasons then they are to be stepped back from each other. The
requirement increases the expanse of paved area and further comprises site cover.

As previously indicated the site is constrained by means of slope and area and the stepping of
the garages will further force the building down the slope and require additional cut and fill.

The relocation of the garages would severely compromise the design of the building which has
been designed to maximise the assets of the site. The applicant has carefully designed the
units such that living areas and outdoor decks are orientated towards the north. The design of
the units

The garage is integrated into the building through the continuation of the roof line and use of
similar building materials.

10. As above

11. The site is to drain to the stormwater connection located at the rear of the site. Stormwater

design aspects can be addressed and considered as part of further operational works
applications.

12. The applicant has provided additional information on the specifications of the turntable.
13. Additional plans are provided indicating tuming manoeuvres for vehicles on site if the turn table

is not operable. As indicated by these plans vehicles are able to leave the site in a forward
direction with a four point turn.
