COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 JUNE 20122. It is intended to landscape the area in front of the units. By laying two or more rowsof slabs between the footpath and the fence, a strip can be left for planting. Waterfor irrigation can be provided by an extension of a water pipe from the bin store.The garage on the adjoining property to the east is approximately 6.1 metres long and set back5.5 metres from the front boundary. The proposed laundry and bin store is 8.63 metres long. Ifthe proposed laundry and bin store building is set back 3.0 metres from the front boundary, therear of the building will be almost in line with the rear of the adjoining property's garage so theimpact on the amenity of the adjoining property will be minimised. As the neighbouring garageis not as long as the proposed laundry and bin store building, part of the boundary wall in frontof the garage (approximately 2.5 metres) will be visible from Cambridge Street. A conditionensuring that the boundary wall is finished to the Town's satisfaction in face brick or render isrecommended to ensure that the visual appearance of the wall is presentable to the street andthe adjoining property to the east.At the May Development Committee meeting, landscaping was suggested to improve theappearance of the development, however, letterboxes are proposed at the front of the buildingfacing the street, so paving is proposed between the front boundary and the building, for easeof access to the letterboxes. The applicant has, however, advised that the area in front of theunits will be landscaped. A condition can be included in this regard as the addition of thislandscaping will improve the appearance of the development as a whole.In addition, the property requires storage for 28 bins and the proposed bin store will hold only16 bins. An unroofed enclosure is proposed on the other side of the drying area which willrequire a brick boundary wall. To minimise impact on the adjoining property, it is recommendedthat this boundary wall be limited to a height of 1.8 metres. A condition can be included in thisregard.Finally, the applicant has requested approval for the conversion of the present laundry into aresidential unit. The zoning of the property is Residential R160. This is something that can beconsidered by Council, however it is not part of the original application and would be subject toa separate application.Overall in view of the above comments and amendments, it is considered that the proposedlaundry and bin store is now acceptable and can be approved, in accordance with the followingrecommendation.ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:That, in accordance with Part 4 of the Town of Cambridge Town Planning Scheme No. 1,Council APPROVES the application for a laundry and bin store submitted by Kings Apartmentsat Lot 32 (No. 32) Cambridge Street, West Leederville, as shown on the plans dated 7 June2012, subject to the following conditions:-(i)(ii)(iii)the surface finish of the boundary walls for the laundry and bin store building and for theunroofed bin enclosure facing the adjoining property to the east to be rendered, painted orface brickwork to the satisfaction of the Town;the boundary wall for the unroofed bin enclosure to be a maximum height of 1.8 metresabove natural ground level;landscaping comprising of medium sized shrubs being provided to the satisfaction of theTown between the front boundary and the front brick wall, to assist in reducing the bulk ofthis wall on the streetscape;H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\12 MINUTES\JUNE 2012\B DV.DOCX 12
