09/1058 - MCU - Detached House [As Published] · 132009.1058

 

The proposed encroachment on our site has no visual impact or material impact on the natural coast
processes. In fact, we believe the new design actually enhances the natural beauty of the area by
providing for even more soft landscaping than currently exists, encompassing 48 per cent of the site.

The building’s unique pavilion design also restricts the eaves to 66 per cent of the exterior walls, as
opposed to the required 75 per cent. However, the natural beauty of the house, and the interest the
architecture creates, more than compensates for the marginal shortfall.

In short, | believe the house deserves favourable consideration in its proposed form because it is .
environmentally sensitive, promotes a much greater affinity with the natural environment than does the

existing building, or nearby and surrounding buildings, and increases the penetration of the natural

landscaping. It will be a showcase for the Sunshine Coast region adding significant value both to our

personal lifestyles and to the general ambience of the area.
