Response to Further Issues Letter - 65-67 Elanda Street, Sunshine Beach

 Information Required
     3. Provide amended plans that comply with Acceptable outcomes AO11.1,
        AO11.2, AO11.3 of the High Density Residential zone code.


Response
The proposed design complies with the requirements of the High Density Residential zone
code. The amended plans propose garages which do not dominate the streetscape or the
building design.

The proposal complies with AO11.1 of the High Density Residential zone code as the
design does not involve any covered car parking spaces between the building and the road
frontage. The covered car parking spaces are located within the building, and are further
set back than the front verandah planters and screens.

The proposal also complies with AO11.2 of the High Density Residential zone code, as the
garages are integrated within the line of the building. It is noted that the garages are not
the forward most projection of the building, the balcony, planters and screening project
forward approximately 0.9m of the garages themselves. The overhang provided by the
balconies assist in further minimising the appearance of the garages and allow for vehicle
parking to be seamlessly integrated within the building design.

The design of the garages complies with PO11 of the High Density Residential zone code.
The proposed development incorporates garage doors that are streamlined and
minimised through the chosen finishes and the 8.63m setback. In addition, the fall of the
site contributes to the garages not being easily visible from the street. When viewed from
the street, only a small portion of the garage doors are visible (refer to Figures 1 and 2
below).

The garages do not dominate the streetscape and are visually separated by the gatehouse,
entryway, visitor parking and landscaping. The proposed landscaping further contributes
to the softening of the garages and overall built form and reduces the perceived impact
on the streetscape.
