Dear Sir/Madam,

RE:    RESPONSE TO INFORMATION REQUEST
DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION – RECONFIGURATION OF LOT (1 LOT INTO 2 LOTS) AND
ACCESS EASEMENT OVER LAND SITUATED AT 71 COOROY NOOSA ROAD, TEWANTIN AND
DESCRIBED AS LOT 210 ON RP136750

I refer to the above application and in particular to the request for additional information issued by your
                     th
Council and dated 11 November 2015.

This request listed two (2) items that Council considers is necessary in order to complete its assessment of
the above application. The applicant has decided to respond to these items as below:


Item 1:            Provide plans that demonstrate the proposed lot configuration and access easement are
                  sufficient to achieve the Specific Outcome O32 of the Reconfiguration of a Lot Code and
                  provide sufficient area for vehicles to be able to travel along the access easement in a
                  forward gear and have the opportunity to pass within the site.

Applicant’s Response to Item 1: Amended plans are attached which detail the existing carparking
and manoeuvering area to the front of the existing dwelling on proposed Lot 2. This paved area in
front of the garages provides sufficient area for vehicular maneuvering for Lot 2.

At present, carparking for Lot 1 is provided in an informal position at the end of driveway. The
applicant intends to construct a new garage in the future adjacent to the existing dwelling and there
will be sufficient area on the site to accommodate the new garage and manoeuvering area

With regard to clearing of vegetation of sight lines for the driveway, this will be undertaken in conjunction with
Council officers if required. It is anticipated that a strip of up to 1.0 metres of vegetation will be required to be
cleared within the road reserve. It is noted that the existing vegetation currently obscures the existing
driveway and therefore the removal of vegetation should be undertaken independently of this application.


Item 2:           Provide plans that indicate the current services (sewer, water, electricity and
                  telecommunications) and the current stormwater drainage system together with any
                  necessary easements.

Applicant’s Response to Item 2: Please find attached an amended plan that details existing services
on the site. Due to the location of the existing services an easement will be required for access and
services along the eastern boundary and an additional easement for services along the western
boundary.
