Applicant’s Response

1. Refer to Revised Architectural and Landscape Plans prepared by Zest Building Design (Attachment 1 and
2).


Information Required by Council

2. Please amend Detail C on the Roadworks & Drainage Layout Plan to include a minimum pavement
replacement width of 650mm (minimum) to allow sufficient widening to align the kerb and channel with the
corresponding K&C further down the street.


Applicant’s Response

2. Refer to Revised Civil Plans prepared by Recor Consulting (Attachment 3).


Information Required by Council

3. Please amend one of the plans to detail whether the street trees are proposed for removal or retainment.


Applicant’s Response

3. In the applicant’s information response to Council submitted on 20th August, in Attachment 1 – Revised
Architectural’s Sheet A.006, includes in detail all existing trees and those proposed to be removed (two
trees in Pearl St) and those to be retained (one tree in Pearl St and one tree In Elm St).

Within Attachment 3 Revised landscape Plan Sheet L.000, details reinforce the existing trees which are
being retained. We believe that these submitted plans provide clear detail regarding tree removal and
retention.


Information Required by Council

4. Following further internal engineering review, unfortunately the revised stormwater design includes a pump
out facility to discharge the water from the development to Pearl St. Performance Outcome 18 of the
Driveways and Parking Code specifies – parking areas are designed to ensure drainage without the use of
pumps or other electrical apparatus (with no acceptable outcome provided). Historically we have not
accepted stormwater designs that include pumps due to the amenity issues the pumps cause (noise, and
fumes from back up generators) along with the potential inundation impacts on the development and
neighbouring/downstream properties in the event the pump malfunctions in a rain event. This is not an issue
we are willing to condition.
