Town Planning Report (00012493)

           the density of the proposed development, which equates to 149 persons per
            hectare, is compatible with the character of the area, is consistent with the
            density supported for retirement and special needs housing within the
            Community Services Zone and has been designed to minimise its impacts on
            the most valuable vegetation on the site;

           except for the basement entrance, the proposed building complies with the
            maximum building height limit of 2 storeys and 8m for the Locality;

           the proposed building complies with the minimum setbacks for the Community
            Services and Attached Housing Zones, set out in Schedule 1 of the Planning
            Scheme;

           the site cover of the proposed development is less than 40%, which is the
            maximum permitted for multiple dwelling units in Attached Housing Zone;

           the proposed plot ratio is considered to be compatible with that permitted for
            the Community Services Zone and the location of the site directly adjacent to
            the Business Centre Zone;

           the proposed parking and manoeuvring areas will be gravity drained;

           a 2 degree roof pitch is proposed to reduce the height and bulk of the
            proposed building. The roof pitch will give the building a clean, modern
            appearance and is consistent with the buildings within the Business Centre Zone
            which abuts the site;

           the proposed design seeks to retain the most valuable native trees on the site,
            where practical;

           the site is within walking distance of the Tewantin Business Centre;

           the building is well articulated and includes a variety of materials to reduce the
            visual bulk of the building;

           the basement entrance is located on the western side of the building and will
            be screened from the street by the landscaping proposed along the front of
            the site and within the visitor car parking area;

           the proposed layout provides a single access driveway to the site and allows
            vehicles to enter, turn and leave in forward gear; and

           to retain the open appearance of the site, the existing retaining wall will be
            preserved along the street frontage, where practical, and the proposed
            landscaping located to the rear.
