M2677 - Response to further issues_08042021

Response
The applicant agrees to a condition requiring that the access driveway should be extended further north so that the end
of the median is 5m north of the driveway.

In terms of the signage, TTM traffic engineers have advised us that "no u-turn" signage is no longer a standard sign with
the MUTCD, and as such, recommends that double barrier lines are proposed as an alternative solution.


ITEM 2 - CAR PARKING SIZES
 The TTM report assesses carpark size requirements, but it is not clear how that is possible when there are no dimensions
shown on the plans for any of the many multitude of columns located adjacent to parking spaces. Column sizes and their
location relative to the ends of parking spaces needs to be added to the plans, and then TTM need to confirm that those
elements are satisfactory.

Response
The architectural plans were prepared in AutoCAD and forwarded to TTM to assist with their assessment. Accordingly,
TTM were able to accurately assess the plans on this basis. Notwithstanding this, the requested car park dimensions and
column widths have been included on the revised proposal plans (refer to Attachment 1). TTM have confirmed that the
plans comply with the relevant Australian Standard, provided under separate cover (refer to Attachment 2).


ITEM 3 - BUILT FORM
Council raised concerns that the built form retains repetitive design elements, which are contrary to the outcomes sought
by the scheme, does not provide visual interest and results in the appearance of excessive bulk.

Response

Following our meeting with Council and follow up discussions, we have prepared a set of amended plans which seeks to
address Council’s additional concerns relating to the built form aspects of the proposed development.

The initial design changes made in response to the information request, included reducing the scale of Building 4 from 4
to 3 units addressing the street, significantly reduced the development’s scale and perceived bulk when viewed from the
street.

The latest design changes undertaken to the revised set of plans include significant enhancements to the built form of
Buildings 1, 2 and 3 to improve visual amenity, particularly when viewed from adjoining premises. An overview of the
changes is provided below.

Building 1
Building 1 is located long the site’s northern boundary, which fronts the access driveway to 99 Eumundi Noosa Rd and the
medium sized commercial development at 95 Eumundi Noosa Rd.

Building 1 complies with the following attributes of the planning scheme:
     8m height limit
     2m side boundary setback
     6m rear setback
     15m maximum wall length
