The plan will need to ensure that adequate space is provided within the subject site or the parking of worker's vehicles off site. The construction management plan shall be submitted and approved by the Town prior to the issue of a building licence. Concerned with the high cost of the cash-in-lieu contribution, the applicant submitted revised plans in March 2012 showing four additional car bays. The amended plans also showed the plot ratio reduced to 1.4:1 in accordance with Condition (a) and the inclusion of a bike rack, soakwells and a new bin store. The amended plans were approved under delegated authority on 16 April 2012 as the amended plans were consistent with the intent of the Council’s decision. Two conditions were changed:- Condition (a) was deleted as the plans showed a plot ratio of 1.4:1, and Condition (d) was amended to require payment of a cashin-lieu contribution of $50,000 to the Town, based on a 4 bay shortfall at $12,500 per bay. With regard to Condition (i) above, in October 2012, the applicant advised after extensive consultation between parties and expensive legal fees, an access agreement was finalised in September 2012. However, the owner of the laneway then decided that he was unwilling to grant an easement and therefore sign the access agreement. The applicant has therefore amended the design to not use the rear laneway (note: whilst being identified as a 'laneway' in this report and the conditional approval, the area of land is part of No. 7 Southport Street that is used as a driveway to access the rear carparking areas of Nos. 158 and 160 Railway Parade and No. 7 Southport Street). These amended plans are the subject of the following report. H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\12 MINUTES\NOVEMBER 2012\B DV.DOCX 8
