     4.    Earthworks required on site must be carried out in accordance with Council’s
           Planning Scheme Policy PSP5 Engineering Design Standards, so as not to

     5.    The approved dwelling must be serviced with a rainwater tank having a minimum
           storage capacity of no less than 60,000 litres.

B.   Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with
     the Planning Scheme:
     1. The proposed development is appropriately sited, will not require the removal of
        any existing vegetation within the Open Space Conservation zone, and is within an
        existing disturbed part of the site.

     2. The proposed house does not conflict with any of the values intended to be
          protected by the Open Space Conservation zone and will not adversely impact on
          the Mount Cooroy Conservation Park.
