Dear Sir and or Madam,

Please accept this letter as an explanation as to why we would like to apply for a relaxation to build
outside of the building envelope area of our home at the above address.

Please find attached proposed plans from Magica design which show the areas in question.

We recently purchased the dwelling and this exclusion zone did not appear on any searches we
undertook, and we did not find out about this until we went to draw up some plans for the small
extension and pool that is shown on the attached proposal.

There appears to be a building exclusion zone very close to the home for what reason it is there no one
seems to be able to tell us.

We would like to turn one of the bedrooms into our small home office and then add another bedroom
and pool as shown. The design issue we have is that the rear of the home faces west and really cops the
western hot sun in the afternoons. We would like to encroach on the exclusion area with a small deck
only off the new bedroom to help with providing energy efficiency and protection from the western sun.
We are also going to extend the western roof out along the western elevation as you can see to give the
existing dwelling some more shade and protection whilst increasing the homes energy efficiency. This
roof however is not affected by the exclusion zone.

The small area of the pool also will intrude on the building exclusion zone but to make the pool visually
appealing and practical we feel it needs to go out a little into that area. We have kept the pool decks
back a fair bit so they do not intrude too much on the area.

I would like to ask your permission to grant us a relaxation on these grounds as we feel that the small
encroachment into this area is not affecting anyone and can only benefit the energy efficiency and
livability or our home.

If you would like to visit the site or would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to call us.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,




Max and Donna Ventura
