Attachment 2 Fee Reduction Agreement · OPW19/0177

10/08/2019          Adapt Planning Mail - RE: Request for OPW Fee Reduction, 34-36 Allambi Tce Noosa Heads, Driveway and Minor Filling Works



       I lodged an application for a RAP last year for a dwelling house on the above site.



       The planning department determined that is was a RAB so an amended form was lodged for the building team.



       The approval for RAB was approved by Council 7th June 2019. Copy attached for your reference. Building
       approval was given by a private certifier and works are underway.



       There are a couple of outstanding issues relating to recreation court filling, driveway width and southern neighbour
       fencing that are required to be resolved asap as construction is underway. Refer below each of the unresolved
       items:



             1. The building approval from the private certifier didn't include the proposed driveway (due to its width
                exceeding 6m) so a separate OPW will be sought prior to construction of the driveway. The building
                approval was given on the assumption that the driveway would meet Council standards. It will ultimately be
                slightly wider so OPW approval is needed from the Council.
             2. The building approval didn't include filling behind the recreation court retaining walls and fencing (approved
                under RAB) as the private certifier believes that OPW or RAP approval would be needed for filling due to
                S2.3 of the Detached House Code.
             3. The southern neighbour has requested that the fencing height is increased. We will seek an increase in
                fence height of 600mmm to the southern neighbour. This will be accompanied by letters of support and
                revised plans and lodged with the building department.



       Moving forward I can easily lodge an OPW to deal with Item 1. I can also easily complete an amendment under
       Item 3 via as a minor change to the RAB18/0238.



       Could the Council planning team please confirm what is required to overcome Item 2? The building works for
       boundary wall and fence have been approved under RAB18/0238. The retaining in less than 1m. As construction is
       underway I am keen to wrap up Item 2 asap. Our private certifier would be satisfied with an email from Council
       confirming that OPW / RAP is not needed in this instance.



       Let me know if you have any questions at all.



       Kind Regards,


       Liam Pinese
       Director / Principal Town Planner
