                 2.      Removal of the boundary to boundary platform/structure and the associated excessively
                         high walls on the side boundaries.
                 Issue
                 Specific Outcome O8 of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code prescribes a maximum allowable
                 plot ratio of 0.45:1, as the site is 635m2 the maximum plot ratio site allowed is 285.75m2. The
                 application proposes a plot ratio cover of at least 382m2 and is not supported.
                 It is important to note that plot ratio includes the total floor area of a building measured from
                 the outside of the external walls, plus for roofed unenclosed areas, any portion of floor area
                 beyond a distance of 3 metres from the external wall. It does not include:
                         a)   the area of spaces used for the parking or manoeuvring of motor vehicles;
                         b)   the area of lift shafts;
                         c)   the area of stairwells on any level other than the ground floor; or
                         d)   floor areas located in a basement.
                 In this regard, the garage areas do not meet the definition of a basement and must be included
                 in the calculation of plot ratio. It is also noted that the proposal includes unenclosed roofed
                 areas which extend beyond 3 metres from the external wall.
                 Information Required
                 3.      Amended plans which demonstrate compliance with Specific Outcome O8 of the
                         Eastern Beaches Locality Code, thereby having a maximum plot ratio 0.45:1
                 Issue
                 Specific Outcome O3 of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code prescribes a maximum density of
                 100 persons per hectare which results in an allowable density of 6.35 persons. The application
                 proposes a density of 6.6 persons and is unlikely to be supported.
                 Information Required
                 4.      Amended plans which comply with Specific Outcome O3 of the Eastern Beaches
                         Locality Code.
                 Issue
                 The proposal seeks a reduced front setback to the eastern elevation of the green roof which
                 is at least 4 metres in height, variations to the side setbacks are also proposed. The reduced
                 front and side setbacks are not supported.
                 Information Required
                 5.      Amended plans which comply with the minimum front and side setback requirements.
                 Issue
                 The proposal provides for a development which is 3 storey’s and exceeds the maximum height
                 of 8 metres. It is unclear as to why an exceedance of these requirements is justified noting
                 that the importation of fill contributes to height exceeding 8 metres and that the streetscape is
                 not characterised by buildings which present as 3 storeys.
                 Information Required
                 6.      Amended plans demonstrating compliance with Specific Outcome 04 and Probable
                         Solution S4.1 of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code.
