COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 FEBRUARY 2013DV13.11LOT 62 (NO. 24) TRURO PLACE, CITY BEACH - TWO STOREY DWELLINGSUMMARY:The Town has received an application for a two storey dwelling at No. 24 Truro Place, CityBeach. The plans show a dwelling with the garage set forward of the dwelling and the twostorey section set further back on the lot.The application requires a Council determination as an assessment is required against thestreet setback performance criteria of the Residential Design Codes of WA (R Codes). Inaddition, the dwelling is proposed to be constructed with timber and metal cladding whichrequires assessment against the performance criteria of the Town of Cambridge Town PlanningPolicy Manual.The proposal is considered to satisfy the relevant performance criteria for the followingreasons:-• contributes to the desired streetscape and provides adequate privacy and open space fordwellings.• uses materials of a high quality finish which results in a building of a high architecturaland structural standard.Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for approval.BACKGROUND:Application: 387DA-2012Owner:M CollierApplicant: Woodlink ArchitectsZoning: Residential R12.5Use class: Dwelling (single) ‘P’ – permittedLand area: 1076m²This application was originally submitted in September 2012 with plans showing a solid garageand large solid feature walls within the front setback. To address some of the concerns raisedby the Town’s Administration, amended plans were submitted in November 2012. It is the latterset of plans that are the subject of the following report.DETAILS:Development description• Existing vacant site.• Site is wedge shaped and sits at the head of the cul-de-sac on Truro Place.• Site is reasonably level.• The dwelling has the garage at the front with the dwelling setback further via a deck andfoyer.

COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 FEBRUARY 2013Applicant's justificationThe applicant has provided written justification for the variations to the acceptable developmentprovisions relating to the streetscape issues.Neighbour submissionThe Town notified the owners of the two properties directly adjoining the side boundaries of thesubject site, being Nos. 22 and 26 Truro Place. No submissions were received.Performance criteria assessmentSetbacks of buildings generallyPrimary StreetPerformance criteria:Proposed4.5 - 8.3 metres togarageAcceptable development provision7.5 metres to garageBuildings setback from street boundaries an appropriate distance to ensure they:• contribute to the desired streetscape• provide adequate privacy and open space for dwellings; and• allow safety clearances for easements for essential service corridors.The narrowness of the lot towards the front of the site has resulted in the garage being forwardof the dwelling with a minimum setback of 4.5 metres from the front boundary on the west sideand 8.3 metres on the east side. Although it sounds like a significant variation, it is noted thatthe setback on the eastern side is in line with the adjoining property and therefore would beconsistent with the streetscape. The reduced setback is on the western side and adjacent to avacant lot at the very top of the cul de sac and therefore the reduced setback would not be asobvious as if the lot was on a long stretch of road with contiguous large setbacks.It is recommended, however, that should Council consider supporting the variation that acondition of approval should require that no solid garage door be permitted which would meanthat the majority of the building within the front setback area was open and allowed views of thedwelling along the streetscape.Overall in view of the above comments, it is considered that the proposed setback of thedevelopment from the primary street boundary satisfies with the performance criteria for thefollowing reasons:-• contributes to the desired streetscape and provides adequate privacy and open space fordwellings.Materials of ConstructionLocal Law 43Performance criteria:ProposedTimber and metalcladdingAcceptable development provisionBrick, stone, concrete or similarmaterial, or of brick veneerH:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\13 MINUTES\FEBRUARY 2013\B DV.DOCX 74
