Ordinary Meeting <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Council - <strong>26</strong> April <strong>2005</strong> 21 / 17<br />

<strong>26</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> 30 Marian Street, Killara<br />

Item 21<br />

DA1243/04<br />

18 April <strong>2005</strong><br />

well as reducing the perceived scale <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the building, this provides opportunities for good<br />

cross ventil<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong> and sunlight access <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> apartments.<br />

Principle 3: Built Form<br />

The setbacks comply with the setbacks in DCP 55, as the fr<strong>on</strong>t setback from Marian Street is<br />

a minimum 12m and the setback from Caithness Street is in the range <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 12m <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> 10m, with<br />

40% <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> this fr<strong>on</strong>tage <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>ing approxim<strong>at</strong>ely 10m. The narrowest point is 9.82m. This minor<br />

encroachment is acceptable, as the DCP also allows for lesser setbacks <strong>on</strong> streets less than<br />

12m wide. Caithness Street is 12m wide. The objective <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the DCP c<strong>on</strong>trols is <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>ing met by<br />

setbacks al<strong>on</strong>g this street, and the minor infringement is negligible.<br />

Principle 4 : Density<br />

Acceptable<br />

Principle 5 : Resource, energy and w<strong>at</strong>er efficiency<br />

100% <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> apartments are cross ventil<strong>at</strong>ed and 70% <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> apartments have a northerly or northeasterly<br />

orient<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong>, gaining more than 3 hours sunlight <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the living room windows <str<strong>on</strong>g>be</str<strong>on</strong>g>tween<br />

9am and 3pm in mid winter. Over 50% <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the site is deep soil areas and w<strong>at</strong>er retenti<strong>on</strong> is<br />

proposed.<br />

Principle 6 : Landscape<br />

The proposed landscape design is appropri<strong>at</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the site.<br />

Principle 7 : Amenity<br />

There are no amenity issues regarding the above criteria.<br />

Principle 8 : Safety and Security<br />

Acceptable<br />

Principle 9 : Social Dimensi<strong>on</strong>s<br />

Acceptable<br />

Principle 10 : Aesthetics<br />

The facades are str<strong>on</strong>gly articul<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>at</strong> a large scale in plan, and the elev<strong>at</strong>i<strong>on</strong>s are<br />

articul<strong>at</strong>ed with small scale details which will break down the size <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fl<strong>at</strong> wall areas and<br />

provide visual interest. The neo-classical facade compositi<strong>on</strong> will rel<strong>at</strong>e as well as possible<br />

(given the substantial scale change), <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the heritage items in the area. It is recommended th<strong>at</strong><br />

the paint colour <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the rendered walls is a mid-<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>nal range colour r<strong>at</strong>her than white, <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

complement, r<strong>at</strong>her than c<strong>on</strong>trast with, the muted <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>nes <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the n<strong>at</strong>ive landscape setting.<br />
