Ordinary Meeting <strong>of</strong> Council - 26 April 2005 20 / 20
1 & 1A Lamond Drive, 1444 &
1444A Pacific Highway,
Turramurra
Item 20
DA1099/04
13 April 2005
• New concrete driveway crossings from Lamond Drive.
• Removal <strong>of</strong> all redundant driveway laybacks and re-instatement <strong>to</strong> upright kerb and gutter.
• Repair <strong>of</strong> all damaged public infrastructure.
As this site is located within walking distance <strong>of</strong> the Turramurra Rail station, the area may
experience a higher demand for on-street parking in this location at certain times during the day.
This may make on-street parking or queuing in Lamond Drive difficult for construction related
vehicles (e.g waiting in the road reserve for loading during spoil removal). Accordingly, it is
recommended (subject <strong>to</strong> approval by the Local Traffic Committee) that a Work Zone <strong>be</strong> installed in
the immediate vicinity <strong>of</strong> the site. This will assist in preventing non-construction related vehicles
interfering with the site frontage during works. Accordingly, a condition will <strong>be</strong> applied that the
applicant obtain a resolution from the Traffic Committee in relation <strong>to</strong> obtaining a work zone -
proceed in accordance with any recommendation from the resolution. The requirement for a work
zone is considered reasonable for this scale <strong>of</strong> development.
As with all development <strong>of</strong> this scale, there is the direct risk <strong>of</strong> damage <strong>to</strong> Council infrastructure
during the course <strong>of</strong> the works. A $50,000 bond <strong>to</strong> cover res<strong>to</strong>ration <strong>of</strong> such damage (or completion
<strong>of</strong> incomplete works by Council) is <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> applied.
Site drainage comments
The submitted concept s<strong>to</strong>rmwater services plans (refer plan 04042-C01A by Dincel and
Associates), have <strong>be</strong>en designed in accordance with the Council requirements contained in the
adopted Water Management DCP 47. A minimum s<strong>to</strong>rmwater retention requirement <strong>of</strong> 3000 litres
per unit applies – and this water is <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> used for <strong>to</strong>ilet flushing, laundry, car washing and
irrigation (as a minimum).
The site drains <strong>to</strong> what is shown as an existing interallotment drainage system which <strong>be</strong>nefits the
lower lot at point <strong>of</strong> discharge. Accordingly, the applicant has shown a component <strong>of</strong> on-site
detention on the proposal <strong>to</strong> control run-<strong>of</strong>f in<strong>to</strong> the interallotment system. The interallotment
drainage right must <strong>be</strong> transferred <strong>to</strong> the entire site when the lots are consolidated. The consent <strong>of</strong>
the burdened property will <strong>be</strong> required. This requirement will <strong>be</strong> handled by way <strong>of</strong> condition <strong>of</strong>
consent requiring the applicant <strong>to</strong> create the necessary drainage easements. Further, it will <strong>be</strong> the
responsibility <strong>of</strong> the applicant <strong>to</strong> ensure that the drainage infrastructure within the necessary
easement will have adequate capacity. This will <strong>be</strong> dealt with by way <strong>of</strong> condition.
Conditions <strong>of</strong> consent are <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> applied which will require the refinement and advancement <strong>of</strong> the
DA concept drainage plans <strong>to</strong> a detail suitable for Construction Certificate issue.
Flooding and Overland comments
The site is located <strong>to</strong>wards the <strong>to</strong>p <strong>of</strong> the local catchment (along the ridge <strong>of</strong> the Pacific Highway)
and as such the site will not <strong>be</strong> affected by trunk flows <strong>of</strong> sufficient volume around the site <strong>to</strong> cause
concern. The driveway level at the property boundary shall <strong>be</strong> set a minimum <strong>of</strong> 150mm above the
