Site Cover

Requirement::
Part 7 Eastern Beaches Locality 07 requires for the Semi-Attached Housing Zone that site cover does not
exceed 40%. Actual proposed 43.8%.

Specific Outcome:
   a) results in a building scale that is compatible with surrounding development;
             A. The adjoining site to the north has a pool to the rear of a unit development, the rear boundary is also
                  the rear boundary of the house to The Esplanade, and the southern boundary abuts and modern 2
                  storey residence.
                  The general area has a variety of residential construction such that the proposal will not appear
                  incompatible with the surrounds, and some sites appear to have a greater than 40% site cover.
   b) does not present an appearance of excessive bulk to adjacent properties, roads or other areas in the vicinity
        of the site;
             A. The proposed dwelling will be a single storey construction and appear of less bulk than many other
                  buildings in the area.
   c) maximises the retention of existing vegetation and allows soft landscaping between buildings;
             A. The existing site will require removal of vegetation to the front and rear of the site, however adequate
                  area is provided to allow for additional planting around the site once construction has been
                  completed.
   d) allows for adequate area at ground level for outdoor recreation, entertainment, clothes drying and other site
       facilities;
             A. The design of the proposed dwelling allows for outdoor pool and deck areas to the rear and open
                  area to the front of the site, and clothes line to the side of the dwelling.
   e) facilitates onsite stormwater management and vehicular access;
             A. Stormwater from the dwelling is to be drained to a 5000 litre water tank on site for reuse and the
                 overflow is to be directed to rubble pits to the rear of the site. The slope of the land currently falls to
                 the rear such that it is not possible to get discharge to the street. The soil profile is generally good
                 draining sand which should alleviate water runoff problems.
                 Vehicle access is by standard crossover typical to residential area details.

Result:
The proposed dwelling, although slightly over the site cover provisions, at 43.8%, will be in keeping with other
development in the area. Some development appears also to exceed the site cover permitted and this proposal
satisfies the specific outcome requirements.
