GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING                                                  13 FEBRUARY 2017


         Performance Bond
    1516. Security in the form of a cash bond or trading bank guarantee to the sum of $20,000.00
          must be submitted to Council, to secure performance of all conditions of this approval,
          prior to the issue of a Development Permit for Operational Works. The cash bond or
          trading bank guarantee will be returned on performance of the conditions of approval
          less any costs incurred by Council in respect of enforcing performance of this permit.
          Council reserves the right to call upon the bond or guaranteed sum to effect
          compliance with conditions.
         Sunset Clause for Completion of Approved Development
    1617. Pursuant to s342 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, the uncompleted aspects of
          this development approval lapses if the whole of the approved use has not happened
          by 19 January 2021.
         Building Appearance
    1718. All air conditioning units or other mechanical equipment must be located at ground
          level, or otherwise fully enclosed or screened such that they are not visible from the
          street frontages nor adjoining properties.
         Noise
    1819. The applicant is to implement all of the recommended acoustic treatments provided in
          the Environmental Noise Impact Assessment, by CRG Acoustics, dated 11 July 2016,
          as they relate to Stage 4 of the development. The applicant is to provide additional
          noise attenuation for the smokers terrace area to prevent the reliance on staff having to
          manage subdued patrons using this area. Further, the applicant is to provide suitable
          sound attenuation for the bin storage area to reduce adverse noise impacts caused by
          rubbish being placed in the bins. These additional sound attenuation measures are to
          be certified by a suitably qualified and experienced noise expert.
    1920. The following specific acoustic treatments are to be applied to the building construction
          and design as outlined in the CRG Acoustics Report of 11 July 2016:
         a.    Sound lock doors must be installed at the proposed smoker’s terrace as detailed
               in the development application plans (Rubicon: Proposed Ground Floor Plans:
               Stage 4 plan and Stage 5 & 6 plan).
         b.    Driveways, ramps and car park areas must be finished with surface coatings
               which prevent tyre squeal (an uncoated surface is acceptable).
         c.    All drainage grating over trafficable areas must be secured in a way that prevents
               rattling or nuisance noise.
         d.    Car park exhaust ducting is to have acoustic insulation before and after any right
               angle bend (900) at the outlet end of the exhaust fan/s.
         e.    Car park exhaust discharge riser is to be lined with 50mm thick insulation
               (hydrophobic fibreglass batts min. 32kg/m2 ) faced with perforated metal (min.
               12% open face area)
         f.    A minimum Rw 34 (i.e. 10.76mm laminate in acoustic grade frames and acoustic
               seals) must be used for all new external windows and glass doors of the function
               / dining extension, children’s lounge and the new alfresco lounge.
         g.    New external walls of areas where amplified entertainment is proposed should be
               constructed to achieve a minimum Rw rating of 50.
