INFORMATION REQUIRED
The information requested is set out below:
Issue - Access
The proposal includes garaging at the lower level and the development may need to use part of the adjoining properties to access the carparking. Council has concerns that:
the subject site does not have the legal rights to access those parts of the adjoining properties;
vehicles cannot easily access the garaging and manoeuvring vehicles will create safety hazards on the access driveway.
Information Required
Identify what access easements the development is reliant upon and provide suitable legal advice that demonstrates that the subject site has the legal rights to access the relevant areas of the adjoining properties.
Provide plans that demonstrate that vehicles can access the garaging in a forward gear, reverse from the space and exit along the access driveway to Stevens Street in a forward gear. Please note that the vehicle must be a B99 vehicle as described in AS/NZS2890.1:2004.
Provide a longitudinal section of the access driveway extending from the southern side of the existing driveway to the garage level. The section must demonstrate that vehicles will not scrap when either entering or exiting the site.
Issue – Stakeholder assets
The proposal includes relocating the existing sewer manhole and mains but the applicant has not provided approval for the asset owner.

Information Required
Provide written confirmation from the asset owner (Unitywater) for the proposed relocation of the sewer manhole and mains.
Issue - Stormwater
The proposal includes significant changes to the existing stormwater drainage system for the site constructed as part of the prior reconfiguration of a lot (REC14/0007 and OPW14/0253) and encroaches into the existing easement. The submitted material does not include sufficient information to demonstrate that the development of the site will not adversely impact upon the adjoining properties.

Information Required
Provide a preliminary stormwater management plan for the proposed development. The plan must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ or similar) and include but not be limited to:
collection and discharge/infiltration of stormwater runoff from the proposed development (roof and hardstand areas). Please note that the system must be a gravity system and pumps are not acceptable;
sufficient detail to demonstrate that the existing infiltration system has the capacity to cater for the runoff from the proposed development;
demonstrate that the existing stormwater easement is no longer required in either part or whole.
Issue - Overlay
The site is mapped as being in a Landslide Hazard Area and the proposed development includes significant earthworks in close proximity to the boundaries. The submitted material does not in a geotechnical investigation and/or report.

Information Required
Provide a site specific geotechnical investigation and/or report that is prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ). The report must include recommendations for the works to ensure the stability of the subject development and the adjoining properties in the long term.
Issue – Building Height and cut and fill
The submitted plans lack RL and cut and in particular fill detail. Note that it appears from the submitted plans that there is significant cut (3m) to accommodate the dwelling with no intention to backfill.
Information required
Provide and updated northern, western, southern and eastern elevationswith RL’s and a natural and finished ground line including corresponding 8.0m line above (derived from the survey).
Provide plans that show the extent of the cut and fill.
Issue – 3 storeys

Issue - Eves
It appears that the proposed dwelling does not meet the provision in the Planning Scheme for a dwelling to have a minimum of 600mm eves to at least 75% of the building.
Information Required
Provide amended plans that show the extent of the eves and seek to address this provision.

Issue - Built form
The southern elevation shows a continuous wall of over 18 metres. Probable Solution 32.2 a) of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code specifies a maximum wall length of 15 metres where it must incorporate at least 1 design element to add visual interest and to break up the wall, such as change of materials/textures, balconies and windows.

Information Required
11	Provide amended plans that address the Specific Outcome O32 and Probable Solution S32.2 for the Semi- Attached Housing zone.

Issue – frontage to Stevens St
There should be provision for the front fence to be setback 1 metre from the front boundary to provide for landscaping. There is a long solid fence that would benefit from better articulation.

Information Required
