2.3 No resource consents are currently bought sought for signage on the proposed retail
tenancies.
2.4 The proposed building will be a maximum of 11m in height and would be constructed
up to the northern, eastern and western boundaries of the site. The proposed building
would be located 6m from the southern boundary of 43 Tory Street. The new building
will comply with the 45 degree recession plane on this boundary when measured from
the neighbouring residential property.
2.5 The proposed building would contain three residential tenancies and six apartments.
The general layout of the new building at 350 Jackson Street and 43 Tory Street is as
follows:
Ground floor and carparking
2.6 The ground floor will contain three retail tenancies, two of which will face Jackson
Street. These retail tenancies will have a floor area each of 104.8m 2 and will have
recessed entranceways onto Jackson Street. A cantilevered verandah will be
constructed above the tenancies to provide weather protection to users of Jackson
Street. The third retail tenancy will be 31.2m 2 in size with frontage to Tory Street.
2.7 The applicant proposes to form six on-site car parking spaces to the immediate south
of the Jackson Street retail tenancies. These car parking spaces would be accessed
via a vehicle crossing off Tory Street and would be available for use by the occupants
of the apartments. These car parking spaces would be screened from the residential
property to the south by a 1.8m high closed boarded fence and from Tory Street by a
retractable 1.8m high gate.
First floor
2.8 The first floor of the proposed building would be divided into six apartments as well as
an uncovered paved courtyard. Apartments 1 and 2 would be located within the
northern portion of the building and would each have a deck that would extend over
the Jackson Street footpath. These apartments would have direct access to the
courtyard which would be to the immediate south of these apartments.
2.9 Apartments 3 and 4 would be located within the south west portion of the building and
would each have a small deck that extends to the south. The first floor of these
apartments would contain two bedrooms and bathroom facilities. These apartments
would have direct access to the courtyard which will be to the immediate north.
2.10 Apartment 5 would be located within the south east portion of the building and is the
only one bedroom apartment proposed. This apartment would have a deck that
extends eastwards over Tory Street. Access to the courtyard would be achieved via an
internal corridor.
