[Letter] Minor Change Letter

The following reasons support the request for a minor change approval which is supported
by the submitted perspective drawings:
   •   Whilst the Medium Density Residential Zone Code limits height to 2 storeys and 8m,
       the proposal is replacing an existing rooftop pergola and shade sail with a retractable
       awning which is consistent with the overall height previously developed under the
       previous planning scheme.
   •   The retractable awning is a lightweight and open structure that will maintain views
       through the structure with a negligible impact upon building height and bulk.
   •   As per the submitted street perspective there are no views to that are obstructed
       from the front of the site. Further, views of the proposed structure will be screened
       from the rear by the existing building whilst views from the side of the building will be
       screened by existing palms trees at the boundary.
   •   The proposed causes no impact to over shadowing or privacy.
   •   The area of roofing on the rooftop will be reduced which subsequently will reduce
       the existing bulk of the building.
   •   The retractable awning will improve the overall appearance of the building providing
       better quality building materials than what is currently provided.
