Part Response to Council's FA - 51983.3225.13

Applicant’s Response

Refer to the attached Revised Architectural Plans (Attachment 1) prepared by Lisa Page Interior Design. Plans
# 09/14 to 14/14 depict the palette and variety of materials which are proposed. The proposed design has
been amended to include more variety and juxtaposition in materials and colours. Window hoods and
awnings have been proposed to all of the new and existing windows to add depth and horizontal variety.

A variation in building materials including James Hardie Cladding (in vertical and horizontal profiles) and
Cemintel cladding (in teak colour) in colours which complement the surrounding developments create an
improved design outcome. The façade materials alternate to create visual interest. This variety in materials
and colours and creates greater articulation, variation and vitality.

The roof and rooftop terrace elements have been redesigned. A skillion roof design with 7 degree pitch has
been included as well as the provision of eaves to all sides of the roof. The proposed roof design contributed
positively to the skyline and complements the locality’s character. Louvred privacy and timber screens have
been incorporated into the new rooftop terrace design. These elements act as acoustic and visual screens
as a means to protect the amenity of the residents and surrounding properties.

Applicant’s Response

Plans #03/14 to 06/14 enclosed within Attachment 1 identify the proposed setbacks from the dwelling to the
property boundaries.

a) The proposed Architectural Plan revision has been designed with regard to potential overlooking and is
reflected in the orientation/layout of the internal areas as well as the location and dimensions of the windows.
A privacy screen has been added to deck of level 1 to prevent direct overlooking from the subject site and
the adjoining Unit 20. The same regard has been applied to the widows within Bedroom 1 which have been
highset to avoid overlooking (windows face bin enclosure of Unit 20).

b) The orientation and the layout of Unit 19 has been designed with consideration to the adjoining land uses.
