The plans show two, side by side, stepped but mirroredimaged dwellings with double garages fronting the service road adjacent to Lake Monger Drive.The application requires a Council determination as an assessment is required against thegarage door, buildings on the boundary, buildings set back from the boundary, and wall heightperformance criteria of the R Codes, and the landscaping in the front setback area performancecriteria of the Town's Streetscape Policy, and objections have been received during theconsultation period that cannot be resolved through a condition of planning approval.The proposal is not considered to satisfy all of the relevant performance criteria for the followingreasons:-• the proposed height will result in increased bulk which will have a detrimental impact onthe amenity of the adjoining properties;• the proposed height is not consistent with the desired height of buildings in the locality.Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for refusal.BACKGROUND:Application: 05DA-2011Owner:S FullerApplicant: FoundedZoning:Residential R30Use class: Dwelling (grouped) ‘AA’ – discretionaryLand area: 625 m²This application was originally submitted on 22 December 2011 with plans that showedinsufficient detail to complete a planning assessment. Amended plans were received on 22February 2012. These plans were assessed and advertised to the owners of the adjoiningproperties. To address some of the concerns raised by the Town’s Administration and theowners of neighbouring properties, amended plans were submitted on 20 April 2012 andrevised again and re-submitted on 17 May 2012. It is the latter set of plans that are the subjectof the following report.DETAILS:Development description• Currently situated on the property is an original single storey bungalow, with a front singlecarport enclosed with a solid roller door adjacent to the front boundary.H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\12 MINUTES\JUNE 2012\B DV.DOCX 17
COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 JUNE 2012• The site has a slope up from front to rear of approximately 2.5 metres, and an angled rearboundary.• The plans show two, side by side dwellings, with similar but mirrored floor plans. Thewest side dwelling is set back further from the street than the east side dwelling, so bothdwellings can achieve views to Lake Monger across the road.• The dwellings comprise:o Ground floor: front double garage, laundry and main living areas opening to a rearalfresco. Note: the rear of the property has been significantly cut so that the groundfloor sits on one main level.o First floor: three bedrooms, a study, two bathrooms and a front balcony.o Loft floor: guest bedroom, bathroom and utility room.Applicant's justificationThe applicant has provided written justification for the variations to the acceptable developmentprovisions relating to garage doors, buildings on the boundary and buildings setback from theboundary, wall height, and landscaping in the front setback area.Neighbour submissionThe Town notified the owners of the properties on either side of the subject site, being No. 5Lake Monger Drive to the east and No. 9 Lake Monger Drive to the west, and to the rear of thesubject site, being Nos. 430 and 432 Vincent Street West. Two submissions were received,from the owners of No. 5 Lake Monger Drive and No. 9 Lake Monger Drive, objecting tobuilding height, boundary setbacks, and loss of views to the lake.The objections related to the original plans submitted, which were amended to address some ofthe issues raised. The owners of Nos. 5 and 9 Lake Monger Drive have viewed the amendedplans and provided additional comment.Performance criteria assessmentGarage doorsProposedAcceptable development provisionGarage door width 81% Max 60%Performance criteria:The extent of frontage and building façade occupied by garages assessed against the need tomaintain a desired streetscape not dominated by garage doors.The plans submitted show triangular shaped balconies over the garage doors which will assistin reducing the negative impact of the garage doors on the streetscape. Furthermore, thegarages are set back considerably more than the minimum front setback acceptabledevelopment requirement (6 metres and 8 metres in lieu of 4.0 metres) and the driveways havebeen designed to maximise the landscaping areas, which will also contribute to thestreetscape. The staggered siting of the proposed dwellings will also break up the massing andadd interest to the development as a whole.H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\12 MINUTES\JUNE 2012\B DV.DOCX 18
