Is that Kerry? Yes, it's Kerry. He's unanimous. Thank you. We're up to report number three, application for building works for a dwelling house at Seaview Terrace on Sunshine Beach. Thank you.
SPEAKER_0157:26
So this is an application for building works for a new dwelling house out at CCC view the application was originally presented to Council at the General Committee Meeting in October last year and was originally recommended sorry, it's popping me. Originally recommended for approval subject to conditions. It was presented to Council for issues including geotechnical and coastal hazard processes, site cover, building fire, the enclosure of rooftop Terrace and on the coastal building line. During the General Committee Meeting there were concerns raised regarding issues of overlooking due to the rooftop Terrace as well as the form and presentation to the street issues sorry, pardon me, the applicant stopped the decision-making period before it could be discussed at the Ordinary Meeting just to provide further plans to rectify the issues of overlooking from the rooftop Terrace has now come back with those amended plans although original the application was recommended for approval, a further assessment of the proposal has raised a number of issues including that of site cover, pipe, side setbacks. The built amount of garage and bin storage and as such proposals are not recommended for approval
