COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 The café is located on the ground floor near the Railway Parade frontage, providing activation along the street and pedestrian access way. 1.2 Undercroft carpark yielding a minimum carparking provision of 162 car bays Council supported the provision of 162 car bays (being a shortfall of 41 bays as required under the Scheme) subject to the following measures being put in place to facilitate and encourage alternate transport modes:- Provision of end of trip bicycle facilities (bicycle parking, lockers and showers and associated change room facilities); and Preparation of a transport management plan for staff and visitors to the building. In absence of these above measures being put in place or if less than 162 bays are provided, cash-in-lieu for parking is required at a rate of $7,500 per bay. The development provides for 157 bays over two basement levels and an additional 5 bays at-grade to the rear, providing a total of 162 bays. It is noted that out of the bays provided, 37 (23%) bays are marked for 'small cars only'. The Australian Standard allows for the provision of small car bays (2.3 metres by 5 metres) and as such these bays can be supported. The development also provides for 5 disabled parking bays. No parking bays, at this stage, have been set aside (and marked as such) for the use of service and delivery vehicles. Prior to the building occupation, provision of service and delivery vehicle parking should be included as part of the preparation of the transport management plan (which is discussed further below). To encourage alternative transport modes, bicycle end of trip facilities are provided in the upper basement level. The facilities provided are considered adequate for the size of the building and include 12 enclosed bicycle lockers, a number of open bicycle racks, six showers with associated change rooms (male and female) and secure clothing lockers. Also, the design of access ways to the end of trip facilities allow sufficient manoeuvring for people with bicycles. In regards to the preparation of the transport management plan, the applicant has provided an undertaking to comply with this condition. Some initiatives raised in the traffic impact assessment report (which accompanied the application) include public transport information boards, the provision of end of trip facilities and the operation of a car pooling scheme with parking spaces reserved for this purpose. It is considered appropriate to maintain as a condition of approval the preparation of (and subsequent adherence to) a transport management plan for staff and visitors to the building to the satisfaction of the Town. The transport management plan should be lodged with the Town prior to occupation of the building. This will allow future tenants to be party to the preparation of the plan. The transport management plan should also include service and delivery vehicle needs, the marking and management of the small car parking bays and maintenance of the bicycle end of trip facilities. 1.3 Building height is to be of no more than seven storeys above existing ground level The plans show a five storey building, however it is noted that there is a slight step up from Railway Parade (approximately 0.7 metres) and the ground floor has a ceiling height of 4.8 metres.

COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011 1.4 Building setbacks from all boundaries and Railway Parade to be generally as proposed in the concept drawings and site plan The building achieves similar setbacks from Railway Parade, the western and eastern side boundaries and from the rear boundary (Nicholson Street) to that of the previous concept plan considered by Council in May 2011. 1.5 An agreement being entered into between the Town and the owner of the site, under Clause 49 of the Scheme, to provide for a permanent pedestrian path through the site Council requires the provision of a pedestrian path (minimum width of 5.3 metres) connecting Nicholson Street and Railway Parade and being generally located as shown in the concept plans. The applicant proposes a permanent 11 metre wide landscaped access way to provide unrestrictive access through the site between Nicholson Street and Railway Parade. The pedestrian path runs along the eastern side of the building and connects to a serpentine universal access path and a terraced lawn area leading to Nicholson Street. The applicant advises that the process to enter into an agreement with the Town under Clause 49 of the Scheme has been initiated. This condition therefore needs to be retained until the agreement is finalised prior to the occupation of the building. 1.6 An agreement being entered into to cede to the Town without compensation for the purpose of a future ROW a strip of land six (6) metres wide across the northern boundary of the site The plans show a section of land (6 metres wide) at the rear of the property set aside for future rights of way (ROW). This six metre strip of land is to be subdivided from Lot 50 at the time Lots 50 and 500 are amalgamated in order to accommodate the proposed development. The applicant advises that the process to enter into an agreement to ensure this land is ceded to the Town without compensation has been initiated. Again this requirement should remain as a condition of approval and should be finalised prior to the building licence being issued. The landscaping plan submitted to accompany the application shows the land to be ceded for the ROW will be constructed with concrete paving to allow for vehicle and pedestrian access to the site, as well as the eastern section being landscaped. It is considered this treatment is an appropriate interim measure until the ROW is needed. H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\11 MINUTES\DECEMBER 2011\B DV.DOCX 36
