                             Re: Lot 810 (no.9) The Anchorage, Noosaville
           I refer to Column | (specific outcomes) Section (b) sent to GJ Gardner Homes on the
           07/07/09 from the Sunshine Coast Regional Council
            1) Detached House Code
            When designing this house we were unaware of council by law limiting the roof pitch
           to 5 degrees. Our client’s brief was for the roof pitch to be as low as possible and to
            achieve this we had to design the front and rear roofs falling towards the centre roof
            without parapets that often create waterproofing problems. We were also needing to
 e          keep beneath the 8.0m overall height limit for Noosa.           ;
            By having the lower roof pitch of 3 degrees the height of the side walls was
            minimised and there also was no need for parapet walls which would have been out of
            character with the overall look our client was endeavoring to achieve. The exterior
            walls have been broken up with different cladding materials and included minimum
            windows on neighboring external walls to lessen the intrusion into the neighbor’s
            properties Overhangs have been included where possible and the overall look our
            client intended has been achieved. We are requesting that in this instance the
            minimum 3 degree pitch be relaxed as a difference of 2 degrees on a two storey
   “        house, when this is viewed from street level, is not noticeable.
            Section (b) Minimizing projection of the garage or carport forward of the main
            face of dwelling unit
            In order to house 3 cars/boat/trailer in the garages whilst maintaining the required
            setbacks, we request the requirement to step back the front of one of the garages be
 @          relaxed as numerous houses in the immediate area have been constructed without the
            setback. Our client has 3 large vehicles including boat/trailer that require the full 6
            metre deep garage to house them whilst maintaining enough room to walk around
            them in the garage. If the garage was to be set back it would encroach on the ensuite
            and walk in robe of bedroom 4.
            On the front elevation there is a first floor balcony above the garage doors that
            projects out in front of the garage front wall by 1.1metres. This balcony is going to
            have a metal frame attached with pressed metal patterned panels on them. These
            panels will cover an area of the same width as the garage doors and will be
            approximately 3.6m high. The front screening panels above the garage doors on the
            balcony are to be in a copper or black colour which will capture attention, drawing the
            eye to them rather than the garage doors. These feature panels will be the dominating
            feature of the front elevation of the house. There is also a large area of feature timber
            on the other side of the front entry which will be a fairly dominant area as well,
            drawing the eye away from the garage doors. The garage doors are to be a flat panel
            type with a slight grove in Shale Grey which will be in a blending colour to the front       .
