Planning Report - MCU23 0008 [As Published] · MCU23/0008

               The applicant also indicated a willingness to accept conditions requiring the caretaker to be
               associated with the server room and that the server room and building services area be included
               on the same title as the caretaker’s accommodation.
               The applicant’s submission is reasonable and accordingly conditions are recommended to support
               the proposed outcome.
               3.3.4 Works Codes
               The Driveways and Car Parking Code requires 1 space for the caretaker’s accommodation and 1
               space per 20m2 of gross floor area for the office space amounting to 12.3 spaces, excluding the
               server, building services and area for cooling units. The proposal includes 11 car parking spaces
               and 6 motorcycle spaces which is equivalent to 12.5 spaces satisfying the Code’s’ minimum car
               parking requirements.
               While concern is raised that the server could easily be converted to an office tenancy and
               accordingly should contribute to the car parking requirements, the applicant proposes that this area
               will be associated and operated by the caretaker, limiting the potential for additional car parking
               demands. Conditions have been included to reinforce that this area must be used for building
               services.
               3.3.5 Rufous Street Precinct Master Plan
               Councils Development Engineer has provided the following comments about the application.
               Council’s Rufous Street Precinct Master Plan details a pedestrian footpath for the full length of the
               Woodland Drive and Rufous Street frontages. In accordance with the Precinct Master Plan, PSP6
               – Engineering Design Standards and the Transport Code, a 2.0m wide footpath must be provided
               along the full extent of the frontage of the site. The applicant did not provide Council with adequate
               plans detailing the required footpath. Engineering believes that the inclusion of a footpath can
               reasonably be conditioned and administered through an Operational Works application.
                A truncation is necessary in order to construct a RS-065 compliant footpath that is wholly located
               in Council’s road reserve. The north-western property boundary must be extended to the south-
               western property boundary. The extended property boundary and the existing property boundary
               must be truncated with a 6 metre by 3 chord. The severed land must be dedicated to Council as
               road reserve. See below sketch.
