COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2012 The store room is located between the existing garage and the eastern side boundary and is an extension of the garage. The store will be only partially visible from Jubilee Crescent. The east side boundary fence will also partially obscure the store from Branksome Gardens. The large verge section abutting the site, the orientation of the lot and the location of the store between the garage and side boundary mean the store will not have a significant visual impact on the streetscape. The store will not impact on access to views of significance as it is located to the east of the existing garage and with a wall height of 2.3 metres is lower than the existing 4 metres high garage. Ocean views to the west for adjoining lots will thus be unchanged. The location of the store between the garage and side boundary allows the development to make effective use of space on the site and maximises the outdoor living on the lot. The proposal allows the dwelling storage space without affecting outdoor living areas on the lot or having a significant visual impact on the streetscape or adjoining properties. The proposed 0.25m² deck extension projects a distance of 0.5 metres to the north and 0.5 metres to the west. The deck extension is extremely small and will not impact on any views for adjoining properties and the balustrade will be visually permeable. As the deck is located in the primary street setback area and well away from any adjoining outdoor living areas or major openings to habitable rooms, it will not have any impact on privacy to adjoining lots. The proposal promotes surveillance of the street and given the open nature of the structure will not have a significant visual impact on the streetscape. The deck extension will improve the amenity of the development and provide additional outdoor living area with access to direct sun. Overall in view of the above comments, it is considered that the proposed setback of the store and deck from the primary street boundary is acceptable and complies with the performance criteria for the following reason:- • provides adequate privacy and open space for the dwelling. Buildings setback from the boundary Setback of alfresco from rear/southern boundary Proposed Acceptable development provision 1.0 metre 6.0 metres Performance criteria: Buildings setback from boundaries other than street boundaries so as to: • provide adequate direct sun and ventilation to the building; • ensure adequate direct sun and ventilation being available to adjoining properties; • provide adequate direct sun to the building and appurtenant open spaces; • assist with protection of access to direct sun for adjoining properties; • assist in ameliorating the impacts of building bulk on adjoining properties; and • assist in protecting privacy between adjoining properties. The proposed location of the alfresco 1.0 metre from the rear boundary allows the outdoor living area to the rear of the dwelling access to the northern sun. The alfresco is 2.99 metres in wall height above the southern neighbours' natural ground level at the rear boundary. A 1.8 metre rear boundary fence obscures the alfresco and therefore approximately 1.1 metres of wall will be visible to the adjoining lot to the south.
