Ordinary Meeting <strong>of</strong> Council - 26 April 2005 21 / 19 26 <strong>to</strong> 30 Marian Street, Killara Item 21 DA1243/04 18 April 2005 33 Marian Street is a Walter Burley Griffin design and one <strong>of</strong> his larger commissions in Australia. It is considered <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> <strong>of</strong> State heritage significance, but not currently included on the State Heritage Register. It is included in most non statu<strong>to</strong>ry heritage registers including the National Trust and the Australian Heritage Commission. It is considered that the curtilage <strong>of</strong> the item will not <strong>be</strong> affected by the proposed development as it does not extend <strong>to</strong> the opposite side <strong>of</strong> the road. The heritage provisions in DCP 55 are satisfied. The northern side <strong>of</strong> Marian Street has not <strong>be</strong>en rezoned, so the relationship <strong>of</strong> No 33 Marian Street with its immediately neighbours will not <strong>be</strong> altered. The heritage item at 39 Marian Street is a large Federation period house that has <strong>be</strong>en altered <strong>be</strong>fore. Its primary elevation is <strong>to</strong> Marian Street, but its other more public elevation is <strong>to</strong> the Pacific Highway. In my opinion the curtilage <strong>of</strong> this item will not <strong>be</strong> affected by the proposed development. The heritage requirements in DCP 555 are met. The building at No 1 Caithness Street is located at the southern end <strong>of</strong> the lot and the northern part <strong>of</strong> the garden is planted with substantial trees which screen the house from Marian Street and would largely screen views <strong>to</strong> and from the proposed medium density building. Give the controls in DCP 55, adequate physical and visual separation would <strong>be</strong> achieved. I note that several sites immediately adjoining No 1 Caithness Street have also <strong>be</strong>en rezoned and that the impact from possible future developments on those adjoining sites may potentially <strong>be</strong> more severe that any impacts from this proposed development. Future developments on the sites adjoining No 1 Caithness Street will need <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> carefully addressed when applications for those sites are received. The applicant submitted a heritage report with the application. It states that the nearby heritage items would not <strong>be</strong> adversely affected by the proposed development: There will <strong>be</strong> no diminution <strong>of</strong> appreciation <strong>of</strong> the nearby heritage items in Marian Street, Caithness Street or their visibility from publicly accessible sections <strong>of</strong> the street arising from the application. I note that the heritage item at 1 Caithness Street was not mentioned in the heritage report prepared by the applicant’s consultant, Noel Bell Ridley Smith and Partners. A letter from the consultant dated 7 February 2005 was submitted <strong>to</strong> address the omission. It states: There was no purpose in not specifically referring <strong>to</strong> the item but simply as acceptance that the impacts would <strong>be</strong> very limited. The letter states that No 1 Caithness Street is 57m from the proposed building, separated by a roadway and screened by substantial landscape elements.

Ordinary Meeting <strong>of</strong> Council - 26 April 2005 21 / 20 26 <strong>to</strong> 30 Marian Street, Killara Item 21 DA1243/04 18 April 2005 The houses at No 26, 28 & 30 Marian Street have some contribu<strong>to</strong>ry value <strong>to</strong> the streetscape but as they have not <strong>be</strong>en identified as having any specific heritage significance, I do not oppose their demolition but recommend that they should <strong>be</strong> recorded <strong>be</strong>fore demolition occurs. Draft conditions for recording are attached <strong>to</strong> this memo. Impacts from the proposed development on the nearby heritage items generally comply with the requirements in DCP 55. I wish <strong>to</strong> note that several sites immediately adjoining the heritage item at No 1 Caithness Street have <strong>be</strong>en rezoned for medium density residential flats and that future development on those sites will need <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> carefully assessed by Council. The design <strong>of</strong> the proposed development is in my opinion acceptable, but I suggest that more variation in the texture and colours <strong>of</strong> exterior walls would assist in respecting the character <strong>of</strong> the existing area. I have attached a draft condition <strong>to</strong> this memo that could <strong>be</strong> attached <strong>to</strong> any consent issued by Council.’ (Refer Condition No’s. 37, 76, 84). Landscaping Council’s Landscape and Tree Assessment Officer, Ge<strong>of</strong>f Bird, has commented on the proposal as follows: ‘It is proposed <strong>to</strong> demolish the existing three dwellings and associated structures and construct a five s<strong>to</strong>rey residential flat building with basement car parking on the amalgamated corner site <strong>of</strong> 3628sqm, with vehicular access from Caithness St. The site is characterised by a mature landscape setting with established trees and shrubs within formal garden <strong>be</strong>ds and lawn expanses. The site frontage is dominated by three highly significant, possibly remnant, Eucalyptus saligna (Bluegum). The three trees are approximately 25m high, outwardly healthy and in good condition, which provide habitat for local fauna. There is an unders<strong>to</strong>rey planting <strong>of</strong> predominantly exotic small trees and shrubs. The rear <strong>of</strong> the site likewise is characterised by a mature landscape setting with established trees and shrubs. Trees located at the rear <strong>of</strong> the site are not as significant within the broader landscape, but they do provide a valuable corridor <strong>of</strong> vegetation at the rear <strong>of</strong> numerous properties. These trees are <strong>be</strong>ing retained as part <strong>of</strong> the proposed development works. Impacts on trees/Trees <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> removed/Tree replenishment The proposed development will result in the removal <strong>of</strong> numerous trees and shrubs, predominantly through the core <strong>of</strong> the site. The most significant tree <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> removed is a mature Eucalyptus saligna (Bluegum) T14, located centrally adjacent <strong>to</strong> the rear boundary. The tree is prominent within the broader landscape, but has a structural defect due <strong>to</strong> previous s<strong>to</strong>rm damage. The tree has <strong>be</strong>en previously poorly pruned and is in fair condition. The consulting Arborist has recommended its removal and replacement with the same species. The tree has now <strong>be</strong>en removed with Council consent by a separate tree removal application. There is no objection raised <strong>to</strong> the removal <strong>of</strong> the nominated trees as they are not considered significant within the broader landscape and are located centrally on site within the proposed N:\050426-OMC-PR-03129-26 TO 30 MARIAN STREET KI.doc/pseitz/20
