COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 FEBRUARY 2013• Proposed addition to the rear of the existing upper level to include a new dining andalfresco area. Additional storey to replace existing observation deck and will includethree bedrooms, a family room and balconies to the front and rear of the dwelling.• The site slopes up from the front boundary of Chidley Road, approximately 4.5 metres tothe rear/eastern boundary.• The dwelling will have a flat roof and does not exceed the line of height restrictionimposed by the restrictive covenant of 47.1 metres.• The overall height of the dwelling increases 1.69 metres above the existing brickbalustrade height to the observation deck.Applicant's justificationThe applicant has provided written justification for the variations to the acceptable developmentprovisions relating to the setback and visual privacy variations.Neighbour submissionThe Town notified the owners of the two properties directly adjoining the side boundaries of thesubject site, being Nos. 6 and 10 Chidley Road, City Beach. One submission was receivedfrom the owners of No. 6 Chidley Road objecting to the proximity of the dwelling to theirboundary and the resultant visual and acoustic privacy issues.Performance criteria assessmentBuildings setback from the boundaryProposedUpper Floor Side Setback • 2.4 metres from upperfloor wall to southernside boundaryAcceptable development provision• 3.3 metresPerformance 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 upper floor follows the line of the existing dwelling and increases the wall lengthfrom 7 metres to 12 metres. The existing dwelling has a brick balustrade around the roof deckso that the additional storey will be 1.69 metres higher than the existing building height (notingthat the dwelling has a flat roof so no additional height above the wall).There is a window proposed to the front bedroom which wraps around the front south-westcorner of the dwelling and this increases the setback requirement for the upper storey. If thewindow was deleted or screened, the setback requirement would be reduced and the proposedwall would meet acceptable development provisions.The adjoining property does not have any major openings on the side of the dwelling or activehabitable spaces so that the proposal does not impact on access to direct sun to adjoiningproperties. The proposed Bedroom 2 window overlooks the open front garden and front terraceH:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\13 MINUTES\FEBRUARY 2013\B DV.DOCX 14
