3. SITE HISTORY

The site has recently been subject of a Development Application for Material! Change of Use of
Premises for Dwelling House in Sand Dune Problem Area. This application was lodged and assessed
under the now superseded Planning Scheme. This application sought approval for the removal of the
existing house, and the construction of a larger scale ‘Bark Design’ dwelling house. A Development
Permit (2005/0901) was issued 29 November 2005 which contained 38 conditions. A copy of this
permit, and the approved plans are included as Attachment 2.

4. THE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION

This application seeks to undertake a change to the existing approval (2005/0901). Rather than
construct a new dwelling, the applicant now seeks to retain the existing dwelling, and undertake minor
renovations to improve its internal functionality and external visual appearance. A copy of the proposal
plans are included as Attachment 3.

The following significant changes from the original approval are proposed:

¢ Retain the existing structure;
Increase the front boundary setback of the garage from 2.6 metres to 3.4 metres;
Increase the rear boundary (beach front) setback of the upper and lower level decks;
Reduce the average height of the development;
Incorporate additional design features (ie. pitched roofing and overhangs) desirable for
a beach front locality; and
+ — Significantly reduce the amount of excavation and earthworks required.

The following modifications are proposed to the existing dwelling:

+ Extension of the dwelling towards the road front boundary;

+ Construction of a garage, master bedroom, entryway, office, media room and gym
within the western portion of the site;

+ Re-configuration the Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen (however it is noted the
existing eastern building line is retained);

* Minor extension of the existing deck; and

+ Re-configuration of the lower level (however it is noted that the existing eastern building
line is retained).
