CIV02756 - Information Response Cover Letter

Issue – Driveway Crossover
        The Concept Engineering Services Plan indicates the existing vehicle crossover is to remain.
        It is noted that the width of the existing crossover (8.0m at the kerb and 6.0m at the property
        boundary) is well in excess of the standard crossover width for a residential property (4.0m at
        the kerb and 3.0m or 5.0m at the property boundary depending on the garage arrangement).
Information Required
        3. Demonstrate the need for an 8.0m wide crossover or alternatively submit an amended plan
        with the existing crossover width reduced to a standard width for a residential crossover (in
        accordance with Councils standard drawing RS-049 and RS-050). Please also indicate the
        proposed dimensions and location of the crossover for access to Lot 2.
Response

Contour has prepared an amended plan that shows the removal of the existing 8.0m wide crossover.
Future lot owners will construct driveways in accordance with Councils standard drawing RS-049 and
RS-050.

Issue - Earthworks
        The Concept Engineering Services Plan shows areas of cut and fill over the two blocks with a
        retaining wall structure around portions of the property boundary. It has been noted that the
        retaining wall in the north-western corner of Lot 1 does not extend into the fill material along
        the northern boundary.
Information Required
        4. Submit an amended plan that specifies:
                 4.1. The anticipated volumes of cut and fill material to prepare the subject sites; and
                 4.2. How the fill material will be battered and stabilised or retained along the northern
        boundary. Please note all earthworks must be contained within the subject sites and must not
        intrude into neighbouring properties.

Response

Contour have provided an amended plan that details the extent of earthworks including approximate
earthworks volumes.
The proposed retaining wall along the northern boundary has been extended to contain the earthworks
fill within the subject site.

We trust the above information is acceptable, should further information be required, please contact
Scott Campbell at our Sunshine Coast office on (07) 5493 9777.
