LOT 487 (NO. 5) ORANA CRESCENT, CITY BEACH - AMENDED PLANS<br />
FOR THREE STOREY DWELLING WITH UNDERCROFT<br />
SUMMARY:<br />
The <strong>Town</strong> has received an application to modify the third floor rear guest bedroom <strong>of</strong> the<br />
dwelling substantially completed at No. 5 Orana Crescent, City Beach. The plans show an<br />
increase in the ceiling height to 2.4 metres for the majority <strong>of</strong> the bedroom, and changes to<br />
the ro<strong>of</strong> and window to accommodate this amendment.<br />
The application requires a <strong>Council</strong> determination as an assessment is required against the<br />
building height performance criteria <strong>of</strong> the Residential Design Codes <strong>of</strong> WA (R Codes) and<br />
an objection has been received during the consultation period that cannot be resolved<br />
through a condition <strong>of</strong> planning approval.<br />
The proposal is considered to satisfy the relevant performance criteria for the following<br />
reasons:-<br />
• the amendment is unlikely to result in further significant bulk, privacy or overshadowing<br />
impacts on the adjoining properties; and<br />
• the amendment does not impact on the streetscape.<br />
Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for approval.<br />
BACKGROUND:<br />
Application: 60DA-2009.02<br />
Owner:<br />
Y Xie and J Rose<br />
Applicant: Seacrest Homes<br />
Zoning: Residential R12.5<br />
Use class: Dwelling (single) ‘P’ – permitted<br />
Land area: 1189 m²<br />
At the <strong>Council</strong> meeting held on 28 July 2009, <strong>Council</strong> approved a three storey dwelling with<br />
undercr<strong>of</strong>t. For the third floor, the approved plans showed a guest bedroom facing the front<br />
boundary and an attic with a raked ceiling and a dormer facing the rear boundary. Prior to<br />
construction the third floor plans were modified to show a large void facing the front<br />
boundary and the guest bedroom (with the same raked ceiling and dormer) facing the rear<br />
boundary instead <strong>of</strong> the attic.<br />
Construction <strong>of</strong> the dwelling has been substantially completed and the applicant has advised<br />
that the owner is not happy with the way the guest bedroom has turned out and wishes to<br />
raise the ro<strong>of</strong> to result in a flat, 2.4 metre high, ceiling for the guest bedroom rather than a<br />
raked ceiling.<br />
