The plans show the dwelling facing Yaltara Road with an upper storey balcony acrossthe front of the dwelling.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) and anobjection has been received during the consultation period that cannot be resolved through acondition of planning approval.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.Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for approval.BACKGROUND:Application: 0421DA-2012Owner:M and E DonatoApplicant: APG HomesZoning:Residential R20Use class: Dwelling (single) ‘P’ – permittedLand area: 501 m²The subject property is a survey strata lot and contains an existing single storey dwelling with areduced primary street setback. Town of Cambridge Town Planning Scheme No. 1 states that,notwithstanding the provisions of the R Codes, street setbacks within the City Beach Precinctshall be a minimum of 7.5 metres from the primary street and 3.75 metres from the secondarystreet except in the case of grouped dwelling development. As the subject site is a surveystrata lot with no common property, it does not meet the definition of a grouped dwelling andmust be assessed as a single house and meet the single house setback provisions.DETAILS:Development description• Existing single storey dwelling with frontage to Yaltara Road and a garage with access offDilkara Way.• The site slopes up from the front south-west corner to the rear north-east cornerapproximately two metres.• The applicant proposes to replace the existing small single storey dwelling with a largertwo storey dwelling. The dwelling maintains a similar primary street setback to YaltaraRoad as the existing dwelling but is set back much closer to the secondary street (DilkaraWay) than the existing dwelling.H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\13 MINUTES\FEBRUARY 2013\B DV.DOCX 77
COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 FEBRUARY 2013• A double crossover is proposed to the double garage with the third garage not requiring acrossover and mainly used for storage purposes.Applicant's justificationThe applicant has provided written justification for the variations to the acceptable developmentprovisions relating to the setback variations.Neighbour submissionThe Town notified the owners of the two properties directly adjoining the boundaries of thesubject site, being Nos. 22a Yaltara Road and No. 40 Dilkara Way. In addition, the commentsof other possibly affected owners on Dilkara Way were sought being No. 39, 41, and 43 DilkaraWay. One submissions were received from the owners of No. 40 Dilkara Way objecting to thesecondary street setback variation.Performance criteria assessmentSetbacks of buildings generallyPrimary StreetSecondary StreetPerformance criteria:Proposed5.0 metres (garageintegral with dwelling)1.5 metresAcceptable development provision7.5 metres (6.5 metres if garage isintegral with development)(R Codes for R20 requires 6.0metres)3.75 metres(R Codes for R20 requires 1.5metres)Buildings 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 proposed dwelling will have a setback similar to that of the existing dwelling on the subjectland (which is set back 4.6 metres on the western side) and the adjoining survey strata dwellingalso has a similar setback. In addition, the properties at No. 24 and 24a Yaltara, as well asNo.s 26 and 28 Yaltara Road, have reduced front setbacks with many having garages andcarports forward of dwellings. The proposed dwelling will therefore maintain an existing setbackpattern along Yaltara Road.The setback to the secondary street, Dilkara Way, is proposed to be 1.5 metres for the groundfloor and 1.9 metres for the upper storey in lieu of 3.75 metres. It is noted that a 1.5 metresetback is the usual secondary street setback for R20 coded properties but that City Beachrequires a greater setback requirement. This part of Dilara Way is on a slight bend so that theremainder of the larger setbacks on Dilkara Way are not visible. The adjoining property at No.40 Dilkara Way also has the swimming pool in its front yard with a solid fence and gazebo inthe front setback area so that the reduced setback to the subject site is not so significant. Theproposed setback is sufficient to enable views for vehicular traffic given the truncation providedand the large road reserve adjacent to the subject site.H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\13 MINUTES\FEBRUARY 2013\B DV.DOCX 78
