Dear Sir/Madam,

RE:     RESPONSE TO COUNCIL INFORMATION REQUEST
Development Application – Material Change of Use – Type 2 Duplex and Operational Works
(Stormwater, Drainage Works, Earthworks, Carparking, Access and Landscaping) over Land
described as Lot 598 on RP48112 and situated at 38 Park Crescent, Sunshine Beach:
MCU17/0046 & OPW17/0160

I refer to the above application and in particular to the request for additional information issued by your
                     th
Council and dated 6 June 2017.

This request listed nine (9) 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 a revised design that reduces the amount of hardstand area, narrows the driveway
access on the street frontage and provides for more landscaping. Consideration of building setbacks
to the front boundary should be investigated to facilitate this outcome.

Applicant’s Response to Item 1: Please find attached revised plans that detail the provision of three
carparking spaces across the front of the site consistent with the number of car parking spaces
required for a Duplex.

The slope of the site is a major constraint for development and limits feasible design options. The
applicant’s architect has designed the units to consider the steep slope as well as minimize impacts on
the street by locating the units well down the site and providing a single storied presentation to the
street. The amended design now features two single lock up garages separated by an entry walkway
and one open visitor carpark on the southern boundary. The northern part of the frontage now
includes a bin and bike storage area.

The project architect and engineers have investigated locating the garages further down the site
however the resultant profiles were too steep for vehicles, required extensive works in the road
reserve, necessitated additional fencing and would result in an increase in building height.

The plans provide for significant street trees to be provided in the road reserve which will provide
greenery to the street yet not obscure view lines.

proposed stormwater management plan.

Applicant’s Response to Item 2: Please refer to attached SCG letter and plans.



Item 3: Provide a revised stormwater management plan that locates all private drainage structures
(pits and pipes) within the private property. The drainage line connecting to the kerb and channel is

provide additional detail on how the proposed works in the road reserve will smoothly transition to the
adjoining frontages.

Item 8: Provide amended plans that are in accordance with Council’s standard drawings or
alternatively demonstrate how the proposed design will ensure that stormwater runoff is contained in
the road formation.

Applicant’s Response to Item 8: Please refer to attached SCG letter and plans.



Item 9: Provide a site specific geotechnical report that includes recommendations for the proposed
building design and stormwater disposal system. The report must conclude that the development will
be stable in the longer term and not affect the stability of the subject site or any adjoining properties
and/or lands.
