AS PUBLISHED - Information Request RAL26 0018

1.   Provide a vegetation/tree survey and associated plan prepared by a suitably qualified
     person that identifies all trees and vegetation within the proposed sight distance
     corridors, including vegetation proposed to be retained, trimmed, slashed, pruned or
     removed.
2.   Provide details of any ongoing vegetation maintenance required to maintain safe sight
     distances, including the nature, extent and frequency of works. This information is
     required to enable Council to assess both the immediate and ongoing impacts of the
     proposed development on roadside vegetation.


Issue – Adopted Longitudinal Road Grades
It’s unclear how the longitudinal grades used in MODUS’ Stopping Sight Distances have been
calculated.
Information Required
3.   Provide additional detail validating the longitudinal grades at each approach to the
     proposed driveway crossovers.


Item – Scenic Amenity and Visibility of Future Dwellings
The proposed subdivision nominates future house site areas on elevated parts of the land.
Council is still concerned that future dwelling houses and earthworks on the proposed lots
may be visually prominent when viewed from areas such as Black Mountain Range Road the
Bruce Highway corridor and surrounding rural residential land.
In particular, future building applications will not require further consideration against PO11
and AO11 of the Rural Residential Zone Code, which seek to ensure the landscape character
and visual amenity quality of hillslopes and ridgelines are retained.
Information Required
4.   Provide or suggest mitigation methods as to how the visibility of future dwelling houses,
     earthworks and ancillary structures on each proposed sits within the landscape and
     does not dominate hillslopes or ridgelines and protects the scenic amenity and rural
     residential character of the locality as required under PO11 and AO11 of the Rural
     Residential Zone Code.
