Dear Wilhelm,

INFORMATION RESPONSE

DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE (MULTIPLE HOUSING - TYPE 4
CONVENTIONAL)

15 GARNET STREET, COOROY
LOT 901 ON C56011

Further to your information request for the abovementioned development application we now
respond to all of the information requested. Please find attached:
       Amended Architectural Plans prepared by Morriarchi Architecture; and
       Amended Landscape Plans prepared by Project Urban.

                                  START INFORMATION RESPONSE

Issue

The proposed development does not provide sufficient landscaped areas and landscaped setbacks to
enhance the visual amenity and natural landscape character of the site consistent with Probable
Solution S1.1 of the Landscape Code.

The submitted ground floor plan indicates a total landscaped area of 230m2 where the minimum
requirement is 315m2 (proposed population density x 30m2).

Information Required

    1. Please provide amended plans which demonstrate compliance with Probable Solution S1.1 of
       the Landscape Code whereby the development achieves the minimum landscaped area
       requirement and landscaped setbacks are enhanced along the western side boundary and
       southern front boundary to Garnet Street.

        Consideration should be given to reducing the total hardstand area in addition to onsite car
        parking.

Comment: Following discussions with Council Officers, the visitor parking bay initially proposed
adjacent to the Garnet Street boundary has been removed. This change has allowed additional
landscaping to be provided along both the Garnet Street and western boundaries in this location.

Additional landscaping has also been provided in the courtyards. As a result of these changes, the
                                                                                 2
proposed layout now complies with the minimum landscaped area of 315m sought by Probable
Solution S1.1 of the Landscape Code. Please refer to the submitted plans for further details.

Issue

The proposed dwellings encroach within the minimum 6.0 metre setback to Garnet Street and Wattle
Street. Given the site is constrained, Council is willing to accept the reduced setback providing good
landscape outcomes are achieved (Wattle Street & Garnet Street).

Information Required

    2. Please provide amended plans reducing the extent of the proposed timber pergolas along the
       Wattle Street frontage. Removing the entry component of each of the pergolas is preferable
       and ensuring a good landscape outcomes is achieved in this location.

    3. The timber pergola forming part of the private open space of the southernmost unit must also
       be reduced to provide a greater landscaped setback to Garnet Street.

Comment: As can be seen on the amended plans, the timber pergolas to all units have been reduced
to above the patio areas only. As requested the pergola for Townhouse 4 has also been reduced thus
allowing additional landscaping adjacent to the Garnet Street boundary. The proposed changes have
resulted in a positive outcome to both street frontages.

                                   END INFORMATION RESPONSE

Part 3: Information Request has now concluded. We ask that you now provide details of adjoining
owners in order that we may commence the public notification of the application.

Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.

Yours faithfully
PROJECT URBAN
