COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 Applicant Submission Wall height variation unavoidable due to the heavily excavated site created when the original home was built. The cross fall of the site from the NE corner (RL 16.27) to the SE corner (RL 9.24) leaves an average level of approximately 12.75, similar to the proposed FFL of the new home. Impact of the retaining in the street setback area is intended to be reduced by greening the embankment with plants and utilizing stone pitching to reduce the overall use and impact of limestone retaining wall. Our view is that the overall finished result will be aesthically more pleasing than the existing non permeable masonary fencing facing Bent Street at present. The upper floor is only 150 square metres which is less than 20% of the lot size. A much larger upper floor area could have been proposed, having greater impact on the corner site. The new dwelling on the adjacent corner is testament to this as the upper floor covers the entire ground floor area and dominates the corner and creates more bulk relative to the site and setbacks achieved. Proposed dwelling "averages" out the heights of the surrounding dwellings and in fact long term will reduce the overall impact of No. 4 Adori. The impact of No. 4 Adori is accentuated by the low form of the existing under croft bungalow at No. 2 Adori. The proposed dwelling at No. 2 and the existing dwelling at No. 4 Adori are worlds apart in term of their impact on the streetscape. We have now reduced the roof pitch in an effort to reduce the overall bulk of the proposed home. In addition, the ridge and overall height complies. Seeking a reduction to the ground floor rear setback only. Upper floor setback complies in relation to the rear setback. The setback to Bent Street is in excess of the minimum required. Upper floor could have been much larger and extended to the NE corner of the site. This has not been done to preserve the corridor of vision to the NW. Primary street setback well in excess of what is required. Primary entertaining area has been moved to the NW corner of the proposed dwelling little or no impact on neighbours. If the 6 metre rear setback was achieved the primary entertaining area would have to be located immediately adjacent to the dwelling at No. 22. The secondary street setback of 3.78 metres complies under council guidelines. The homes in the surrounding area vary and are a diverse mix of homes from several decades past along with newer homes and renovations. In our opinion the aesthetics of the home do not detract from the streetscape and may well enhance it. The ground floor walls on the rear elevation will be virtually unseen. The gutter level of the ground floor is at or below the general fence line height between the two properties. The upper floor wall complies with required setbacks and as demonstrated on the submitted diagram a corridor of vision has been maintained to the NW and SW. Concerted effort made to reduce the upper floor to maintain the corridor of vision to the NW. No losses of privacy to the rear neighbour as the openings to the upper floor on the rear elevation are minor openings. No. 22 Bent currently overlooks the existing pool at No. 2 Adori. Increasing the residential privacy of No. 22 Bent by locating the primary entertaining area (Alfresco) to the NW corner with only a drying court at ground level. Sought to reduce any impact potential impact in terms of site works by the suggested FFL of the new home. At this level the existing pool and level along the common boundary can be maintained with no need for sheet piling or major works on the common boundary. If the FFL was to be reduced there would be an immediate requirement for major earthworks along the common boundary. As a responsible builder we would be seeking to H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\11 MINUTES\DECEMBER 2011\B DV.DOCX 11
COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 obtain a dilapidation report by a suitably qualified professional at No. 22 before any demolition or site works are undertaken. Neighbour submission Submission one (No.1 Talgarth Way, City Beach) The finished eave height of 8.45 metres (minus roof) of the proposed dwelling far exceeds the permitted wall height of 6.5 metres on the south elevation facing Bent Street. Object to the 1 metre tiered retaining wall proposed on the Bent Street (south elevation) as this will effectively allow the house to be constructed on a pad that is above natural ground level, making the overall finished height of the house far in excess of what is permitted. The large bulky house will dominate the entire corner of Bent Street & Adori Place, which in turn will erode the existing residential amenity of an existing aesthetically pleasant street that is not dominated by large homes, therefore the house should be constructed at natural ground level and made to comply and setback further from Bent Street. The house at 4 Adori Place, which was constructed some ten years ago should not be used as an example or a reason for this house to be constructed in the same way. Submission two (No. 22 Bent Street, City Beach) The dwelling is too big and bulky and does not follow the Town's building guidelines. I object to the pad being above regulation height which is above natural ground level. The proposed dwelling should be constructed at the natural ground level. The overall elevation on the south elevation is 8.45 metres (with a 1 metre pad) makes the dwelling 2 metres above regulation height. The dwelling at 2 Adori Place is near to 10 metres high with pad. The building does not comply with building guidelines concerning height & does not comply with the boundary guidelines. The dwelling at 2 Adori will impact greatly, as it is being built forward to the existing boundary fence at the south elevation in Bent Street. The dwelling at 2 Adori does not conform to the aesthetics of other dwellings in Bent Street. The occupants at 22 Bent Street will be looking at a massive wall with a loss of residential privacy & amenity. This loss of privacy to the 22 Bent Street dwelling is further compounded by the massive dwelling already existing at 4 Adori and now with the proposed building at 2 Adori I will be further loosing residential amenity and this dwelling will dominate my privacy. As the immediate adjoining property to the east I am objecting to this in very strong terms. Concern about scope of the earthworks that will be undertaken. 22 Bent Street may lose its boundary wall during construction of the pad & dwelling at 2 Adori. Due to the land being so dry this will cause land subsidence. H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\11 MINUTES\DECEMBER 2011\B DV.DOCX 12
