ITEM 2

PL55/16 - Development Application - Two, Five Storey Residential Flat Buildings Comprising 56 Units - 51, 53 and 53A Balmoral Street, Waitara

Additional information with CHANGE to Recommendation

Section 2.6.2 of the independent consultant’s report notes that, in accordance with the requirements of the Apartment Design Guidelines (ADG) the bedrooms to units in a residential flat building must include appropriately sized wardrobes for storage. The report states that a condition of consent is recommended to ensure that wardrobes are provided in each bedroom in accordance with the ADG requirements. However, such a condition is not included in Schedule 1 due to an administrative error. Accordingly, it is appropriate that the conditions of consent be amended to include an appropriately worded condition.

Condition No. 12 of Schedule 1 requires the submission of a Dilapidation Report. The condition does not include the address of all the adjacent properties. The condition should be amended accordingly.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT Development Application No. DA/1700/2015 for demolition of existing structures and the construction of two, five storey residential flat buildings comprising 56 units with basement car parking at Lots 2, 3 and 4 DP 370816, 51, 53 and 53A Balmoral Street, Waitara be approved in accordance with the recommendation of the independent consultant’s report and conditions of consent detailed in Schedule 1 of Group Manager’s Report No. PL55/16 and the following:

1. Addition of the following conditions:

1.1 The wardrobe dimension for the master bedrooms in two and three bedroom units must have minimum dimensions of 1.8m (length) x 0.6m (depth) x 2.1m (high); and

1.2 All other bedrooms must include wardrobes with a minimum length of 1.5m.

2. Amendment to Condition 12 a) to read:

12 a). A ‘Dilapidation Report’ is to be prepared by a ‘chartered structural engineer’ detailing the structural condition of adjoining properties at 49 Balmoral Street, 34A Park Avenue, 40 – 42A Park Avenue and 40 – 44 Edgeworth David Avenue, Waitara unless written agreement with the relevant body corporate or property owner is submitted to the PCA regarding the condition of the property.

Additional information with Change to Recommendation

A late objection has been received from the owner of property No.35 Thornleigh Street raising concerns about excessive vibration as a result of the excavation associated with the basement. The proposal involves excavation to approximately 10-12 metres below existing ground level which comprises sandstone.

A geotechnical study prepared by JK Geotechnics has been submitted with the application which recommends noise and construction methods during the excavation phase of the development. It would be appropriate to include conditions in Schedule 1 to require compliance with the recommendations of the report.
