Dear Lisa,

RE:     RESPONSE TO INFORMATION REQUEST
Development Application – Material Change of Use for a Dwelling over land described as Lot
794 on RP48111 and situated at 24 Arakoon Crescent, Sunshine Beach

I refer to the above application and the information request issued by your Council and dated 5th March
2018. This request listed eight items that Council considers is necessary in order to complete its assessment
of the above application.

The applicant provides the following response:

Item 1:           Floor/ Roof Plan that clearly labels the areas of non-compliance for height and storeys.

Applicant’s Response to Item 1: Please find attached revised plans that detail the area of non-
compliance in relation to height. As detailed by these plans the areas of non-compliance are relatively
minor and do not impact on adjoining properties. The site steeply slopes down from the Arakoon
roadway and the proposed dwelling has been designed to step down this slope. Due to the slope and
the existing narrow roadway of Arakoon Crescent, it is not feasible to drop the floor level of the second
level (which provides vehicular access to the garage) due to grades associated with access and
drainage.

The areas of height non-compliance relate to the portion of the roof to the centre of the site which is
well away from side boundaries. This roof area also includes a 50 roof pitch which accords with the
requirements of the planning scheme.


Item 2:           Provide a plan that clearly details R.L.s of the top of the roof lines.

Applicant’s Response to Item 2: Revised plans are included in Attachment A. Please refer to plan
number 210.01D, 050.02A, 050.03A and 300.01C.


Item 3:           Provide a plan detailing site cover calculations.

Applicant’s Response to Item 3: Please refer to drawing 050.01 A. It is noted that the site cover for
each individual floor level is well below 40% and that the building is set away from side boundaries,
located below the road and will be consistent with the form of development in the area.

Item 4:             Provide sight lines from the proposed terraces to private recreations areas associated
                    with dwellings to the north and south.

Applicant’s Response to Item 4: Please refer to drawing 050.04 A. Emails of support from both
neighbours are included in Attachment B. It is noted that the proposed dwelling is on located on a
similar alignment to the adjoining residential buildings.

The proposed dwelling focuses views and outdoor areas to the east to maximise views and the
desirable eastern orientation. The design also locates the dining and living areas below the proposed
fence line with screening provided along the side façade of the building to void areas over the living
and dining area. Refer figures 1 and 2 below.

Item 5:         Provide a shadow diagram for the property to the south.

Applicant’s Response to Item 5: Revised plans are included in Attachment A. Please refer to plan
number 050.05A which illustrates that the building does not significantly impact on the surrounding
buildings noting that an unconstructed pathway extends along the southern boundary.


Item 6:         Provide a geotechnical report and site stability assessment for the site and
                development.

Applicant’s Response to Item 6: Please refer to Attachment C - Soil Surveys Slope Stability
Assessment and Geotechnical Report.


Item 7:         Provide a plan of proposed temporary and permanent structural systems and their
                construction methodology.

Applicant’s Response to Item 7: Please refer to Attachment C - Soil Surveys Slope Stability
Assessment and Geotechnical Report.


Item 8:         Provide a stormwater management plan.

Applicant’s Response to Item 8: Please refer to Attachment D – Stormwater Management plans
prepared by Westera Partners.


The applicant considers that they has now responded to Council’s information request. The Decision
Making Period has therefore commenced and we request that your Council proceeds with its assessment of
the application as soon as possible in accordance with the Planning Act 2016.

Yours faithfully,
