    •    the line of the building enclosure and garage door are setback greater than 6 metres from the
         front boundary, with only lightweight elements encroaching within setback. These elements
         assist in the climate control for the building (ie. eaves, roof overhangs and screening) as well as
         providing visual interest to the facade. The dominant visual setback of the building remains
         compliant with the town planning requirements.


The proposed development also seeks to locate the basement garage directly adjacent to the south
western property boundary. This is considered an
acceptable outcome as it is consistent with the
existing building form, which has a garage and
store room positioned immediately on the
boundary. A photo of this existing development is
included. Further it is noted that the provision of
a detached dwellings' covered parking at zero lot
line is an acceptable relaxation under the Building
Code of Australia. The project architect confirms
that all provisions under this code will be met
with respect to the basement parking.


A letter supporting this proposed development form from the adjacent southern neighbor can be
provided upon request.
