gross floor area (or GFA) means the tofal 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.

As the stairs are in the basement they do not constitute GFA.

Please provide a roof plan (indicating RL’s) superimposed over a site survey.

A roof plan indicating RL's superimposed over the site survey are included under drawing
0703.4 SD.09. The building complies with the stipulated height requirements.

Please provide justification for the location of the entry statement within the front setback

area,

Revised plans prepared by lan Gorton Design are attached. The revised plans indicate
removal of the entry statement to Grant Street.

Council has concems regarding the available sight distances along Grant Street to the
proposed vehicle access driveways for proposed Lots 2 & 3. In this regard please provide a
plan indicating the available sight distances and provide comment from a suitably qualified
Traffic Engineer as to whether the available sight distances are in accordance with AS/NZS
2890. 1:2004.

A report prepared by Dianne Hayes Traffic Engineering Consultant is included. The report
concludes that site distances comply with Australian standards, however landscaping
fronting Grant Street should be maintained to a maximum height of 1.0 metre to ensure site
visibility is maintained. It is noted that existing significant vegetation on site is not affected
by this requirement and that the site lines are predominantly located across the front of the
site and footpath areas.

It is noted that the proposal indicates that 4 units (1 unit in each fot) will utilise the existing
access driveway and access easements at the rear of the sites to access their respective
garaging. Please provide comment from a suitably qualified Traffic Engineer with regard to
the need or otherwise for the provision of passing opportunities along the easement or
within the Banksia Avenue road reserve to cater for the trips generated by the proposed
development.

A report prepared by Dianne Hayes Traffic Engineering Consultant is included. The report
concludes that the access easement has good site visibility and due to the low traffic
volumes generated by the units a passing lane is not required.

Please demonstrate that vehicles reversing out of all the proposed spaces within the
garages at the rear of the Lots 1, 2 and 3 can manoeuvre and leave their respective sites
without encroaching onto the adjoining property to the east. Please note it is expected that
conditions requiring the revision of the existing access and services easements required to
provide access to Banksia Avenue will be included in the approval, should it be approved,
of the concurrently submitted Reconfiguration of a Lot application. It is not envisaged at this
