Dear Max

             MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
                DWELLING HOUSE, 11 SENEGAL RISE, DOONAN

We refer to Council’s information request dated 27 October 2021 and have provided the
following information to assist Council in its assessment of the application.

1. Northern Side Setbacks
While the applicant respectfully acknowledges Council’s comments, the conditions onsite
differ from what is purported in the information request and ongoing consultation with the
adjoining land owner has not reflected the general sentiment conveyed in Council’s
correspondence. With regard to amenity matters raised by Council, the following is noted:
• The general amenity in terms of the setback distance from the side property boundary
    has been established by the adjacent land owners who have positioned their existing
    two storey home 3 metres back from the shared side boundary. The side of the building
    adjacent to the applicant’s land includes two small windows at ground level that are
    orientated out toward a garden that separates the two properties. Windows on the
    southern side of the existing residence orientate toward the pool and vegetation to the
    south (refer Figure 1 and Figure 2).
• The height of the existing structure adjacent is approximately 6m and is founded at
    approximately 76m AHD, while the proposed shed will extend to approximately 4m in
    height and is to be founded at approximately 74m AHD given the existing fall between
    the two land parcels and extent of the proposed earthworks to accommodate the shed
    and new dwelling (refer Figure 1). This will result in the shed being approximately two
    metres above the ground level of the house.
• A 1.8m high wall along the eastern side of the external pool area separates the adjacent
    land owner’s view corridor from the applicant’s land (refer Figure 2).
