                 Issue – Landscape Setbacks
                 The proposal plans detail earthworks along the southern side boundary including retaining
                 walls, fencing and a bio-retention swale. It is unclear from the plans how these works will
                 impact on the adjoining residential premises at 9 Myall Street.
                 The location of the bio-retention swale also raises concerns with the ability of meaningful
                 landscaping to be provided along the boundary in accordance with AO7.6 of the Cooroy Local
                 Plan Code.
                 Information Required
                 10.    Provide further sections/plans that detail the contours and levels of the adjoining site at
                        9 Myall Street in relation to the earthworks, retaining walls and fences proposed.
                 11.    Provide plans or information demonstrating that meaningful landscaping in the form of
                        tree species can be planted and maintained in the bio-retention swale. Specific attention
                        is to given to screening of the building, common areas, driveways and retaining walls on
                        site.
                 12.    Provide further information and plans demonstrating the ability for tree species to be
                        planted along the northern boundary of the Myall Street site.


                 Issue - Privacy
                 AO20.2 and AO20.3 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code details requirements in
                 relation to windows, terraces having the potential to overlook the private open spaces of
                 nearby properties. 11 Myall Street is included in the Medium Density Residential zone and
                 further information is required to demonstrate how the proposed windows and terrace areas
                 of units adjoining this site meet the outcomes.
                 Information Required
                 13.    Provide amended plans that detail window treatments and retaining walls and fence
                        lines for units adjacent to 11 Myall Street.




                 Issue - Character
                 The Myall Street frontage is mapped as being part of a Gateway site under the Cooroy Local
                 Plan. The acceptable outcomes detail that development is to emphasize the corner location
                 through built form and landscape treatments and enhance the role of the primary entrance to
                 the area. The proposed built form including pathways, retaining walls, fencing and arbours
                 reduces the ability for the provision of a dense plantings to accentuate the intersection.
                 Information Required
                 14.    Provide revised plans that demonstrate the provision of substantial landscaping and
                        reduced fencing and retaining walls to the Myall Street Frontage.
