        5. Amend plans to incorporate decorative gables, particularly along the Maple
           Street and Myall Street frontages.

        6. Clarify the extent of northern setback dedicated for landscaping. Consider
           amending the layout to increase the northern setback to provide more
           meaningful landscape planting opportunities to improve the visual presentation
           of this interface.

        7. Consider amending the plans to improve the visual presentation of the
           development as viewed from Maple Street. This may include:

                a. Alternate colour/material treatment along northern-most wall to avoid
                   single colour used on ground and first floor.
                b. Provision of practical feature planting adjacent to internal accessway to
                   screen the front of the dwellings.

The architect does not consider the addition of a gable element to the northern building will achieve
anything meaningful to address the streetscape. Rather, amended plans include increased
landscaping along the Maple Street frontage to provide for a vegetated streetscape presentation.
The separate buildings also provide for meaningful breaks and scale, which is consistent with this
side of Maple Street, while the pitched roof matches in with the existing house.

Material changes are also provided along the northern elevation, with accompanying large plantings
in front of the building.
