FILE NO. P176.14 Manager Environmental Health and Building Reports 17 November 2005 1. Report Summary This report is for Council to consider if any further action should be taken in relation to the Notice of Proposed Order No. 2 Under Section 121B of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 - to demolish the filtration plant and equipment from the property at 14 Cross Street, Ryde. 2. Background Letters of complaint were received from residents in Curtis Street and Cross Street Ryde, complaining about the unauthorized erection of a structure containing swimming pool filtration equipment at 14 Cross Street, Ryde, which is the property adjoining the Carlile Swim Centre. The installation of the new equipment included electrical wiring, gas pipes and a concrete slab, as well as an air-conditioning unit. The property at 14 Cross Street, Ryde, is in the same ownership as the Carlile Swim Centre at 16 Cross Street, Ryde. On 8 August 2005, a Notice of Proposed Order Under Section 121B of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 was issued to demolish and remove the filtration plant and equipment from the property at 14 Cross Street, Ryde. 3. Report The Carlile Swim Centre at 16 Cross Street, Ryde, was approved by Council in 1962. The development consent was subject to two conditions that the pool was to be constructed to the satisfaction of the Chief Health Inspector and the Municipal Engineer. The pool has operated under these two conditions for around 43 years, and Council had received very few complaints about the premises until around 2001. Complaints have come from premises in Curtis Street, and Cross Street, raising concerns about noise, parking and the general operation of the business. In January 2005 Council received a complaint from a resident in Curtis Street, complaining about building works being carried out at the Carlile Swim Centre at 16 Cross Street, Ryde. Council’s officer carried out an inspection of the building and interviewed the builder as to what works were being carried out at the Centre.

ITEM 2 (Continued) The builder advised that he had been engaged by the Carlile Swim Centre to carry out refurbishment works to the existing swimming centre. He provided the officer with the following list of works that were to be carried out to improve the existing interior and general appearance of the building: - I. The scope of works originally being carried out include:

• Demolition of the existing defective single skin brick wall at the north end of

the pool building and replacing with a new brick veneer wall. This wall is in the exact same location and is replaced due for structural reasons.

• General repair or replacement of existing interior linings, including ceiling and wall villaboard and plasterboard.

• Joinery fitout. Provision of some new cabinets and cupboard units including new reception counter.

• Stripping out the male and female bathrooms of linings, partitions, fittings and fixtures and replacing with new, includes new ceramic tiling of walls and floors, and villaboard ceilings.

• Installation of new ceiling ripplesound acoustic ceiling to pool hall • Installation of new ducted air-conditioning system, with the A/C system unit

being installed externally on the site. The A/C unit decibel rating is similar to that of a domestic unit.

• Renewing of swimming pool plumbing and upgrading of existing filtration system.

• Repainting of all new and existing internal and external surfaces. • Removal and replacement of sections of deteriorated existing roof sheeting.

Minor landscaping works to improve existing garden beds. •

• New light fittings and electrical cabling. II. All of the proposed building works were to be within the existing building

envelope. Once the internal works had commenced, it was revealed that there was significant corrosion to the existing structural portal frames. The extent of the corrosion was so severe that a structural engineer was consulted. It was deemed that immediate repairs needed to be carried out to ensure the structural stability of the building. In carrying out the repairs certain elements of the building had to be demolished and removed so that proper access could be gained to the structural components and carry out the necessary repairs. Council received further complaints about the noise from the centre and the filtration plant on 14 Cross Street.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 4

ITEM 2 (Continued) A Council officer interviewed the owners of the Swim Centre and the owners said they were prepared to carry out screening and noise abatement work. Council officers could not approve the works, as no approval had been given to locate the filtration plant at 14 Cross Street. It was agreed that the best course of action was for Council to issue a formal Notice and the owners of the Swim Centre could make representations to Council concerning that Notice. On 24 October 2005 Lindsay Taylor Lawyers, on behalf of the owners of 14 Cross Street, made representations to Council in relation to the proposed order, stating:

• "My client appreciates the additional time Council has provided to my client to respond to the notice of proposed order (proposed order).

• My client requests that the Council not proceed with issuing the order.

• Instead of the proposed order, my client asks that the Council consider

ordering my client to conduct certain ameliorative works which would eliminate any impacts the works may have on 12 Cross Street.

• The use of 14 Cross Street for the purposes of the swim school is

permissible development in the 2(a) residential zone. Accordingly, Council is requested to allow our client time to submit:

(a) a building certificate application for the unauthorised works which were

constructed on 14 Cross Street; and

(b) a development application for their future use for the purposes of the swim school.

• As Council is aware, the Carlile Swim Centre at 16 Cross Street, Ryde

(swim school) operates in accordance with a consent granted by Council on 27 March 1962 for a swimming training centre (1962 consent).

• The consent was continued in force by section109B of the Environmental

Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EPA Act).

• The swim school was refurbished over Christmas 2004. The amenity and safety of the facility for the public was greatly improved as a result but certain structural maintenance was necessary. During the refurbishment works, for safety and health reasons, it was determined that it would be necessary to upgrade and relocate the filtration, heating and disinfection equipment from inside of the pool building.

• · As the property at 14 Cross Street is owned by my client, a decision was

made to place that equipment adjacent to the western boundary and partly in a refurbished plant room also located on 14 Cross Street.

Page 6: Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05, 6 …...2005/12/06  · RECOMMENDATION: That the report of the meeting of the Development Committee No. 20/05 held on 15 November 2005, be confirmed

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 5

ITEM 2 (Continued)

• The equipment and refurbished structure replaced four existing dilapidated structures located on 14 Cross Street. I understand that these existing structures previously contained waste water efflux and chemicals for the swim school.

• Associated with the installation of the new equipment on 14 Cross Street, an

extensive amount of electrical wiring and some gas pipes were installed under a new concrete slab placed on 16 Cross Street in the courtyard/rest area. An air conditioning unit to service the swim school building was also installed near the southern boundary on 14 Cross Street.

• My client was of the belief that the fact that 14 and 16 Cross Street were in

related ownership enabled the placement of the equipment 14 Cross Street without any further approval. Nevertheless, the completed refurbishment has greatly improved the amenity and safety of the facility and its appearance from the public domain.

• The proposed order would clearly involve a significant adverse and

unnecessary impact on the swim school.

• Firstly, it would require the relocation of the equipment. I am instructed that there will be insufficient room to relocate the filtration, heating, disinfection and air conditioning equipment without generally compromising the pleasant ambience of the recently refurbished courtyard/rest area used by patrons.

• The relocation of the equipment would also necessitate the closure of the

swim school for a long period. This would, in turn, cause considerable inconvenience to the community for services which Council is aware are in very high demand.

• It seems to me that if any planning impacts of the works can be appropriately

addressed, Council should be disposed to dealing with the matter in that way rather than by requiring the equipment and structure to be removed. "

Council then forwarded the representation to Pike, Pike & Fenwick Solicitors to seek legal advice on the request of Council to consider regularizing the use of 14 Cross Street Ryde, and a development application for the future use of this property for the purpose of a swim school. Pike, Pike & Fenwick responded to Council’s request on 9 November 2005. Their letter is CIRCULATED UNDER SEPARATE COVER.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 6

ITEM 2 (Continued) They state:

• "The use is permissible in the residential 2 (a) zone.

• The proposed resolution by way of an application for a building certificate and development application for continuation of the use upon 14 Cross Street is an acceptable legal way of attempting to resolve the matter.

• Whether or not Council should approve such a development application and

building certificate would depend upon Council’s planning officer’s detailed assessment of the proposal in light of the local resident’s complaints."

The person most affected by the construction of the filtration plant is the owner of 12 Cross Street, and they have submitted a letter of support for screen planting and noise attenuation works. 4. Management Plan Linkages N/A 5. Relationship to Key Outcome Areas Assets The City of Ryde is committed to continuing the delivery and maintenance, with community participation, of high quality and environmentally friendly infrastructure facilities throughout the City, which contribute to the lifestyle of the community. This matter has no direct relationship to this key outcome area. Environment The City of Ryde is committed to becoming an ecologically sustainable City through the professional management of our City’s natural and physical environment and the conservation of natural resources to ensure the health, diversity and productivity of the local environment is maintained or enhanced for the benefit of future generations. Placement of acoustic panelling to the existing metal louvers on the western side of the swim centre building would improve the environment of the rear open deck. Governance The City of Ryde is committed to ethical and effective decision making processes that ensure full transparency and involvement of its community in the governance of the City.

• Compliance with all legislative requirements and statutory obligations.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 7

ITEM 2 (Continued) Council has followed the order process set out in Section 121B of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. People The City of Ryde is committed to becoming a socially sustainable City through effective community participation and the active application of social justice principles. A City in which its citizens work together to improve the quality of life and enhance community wellbeing through improved networks and services. • The dignity, aspirations, and rights of residents are responded to. The report has considered the issues raised by the local residents in the submissions that have been received. 6. Financial Impact Council’s Health and Building area has a legal budget of $25,000. Should this matter proceed to a fully defended two (2) day hearing, the likely cost for legal services will be approximately $16,000 including GST but not including consultant’s fees, should specialist advice or further investigation be required as a result of legal advice in defending an appeal. The actual costs may vary depending on the circumstances such as:

• The number of issues and complexity of the matter.

• The extent of pre-trial procedures undertaken by the owner of the property. 7. CONCLUSION Council has to consider the impact of the installation of the filtration equipment and noise on the amenity of the adjoining property owner at 12 Cross Street. The owner of 14 Cross Street is proposing ameliorative works in the form of landscape screening within the rear yard of 14 Cross Street and intersecting the view lines from 12 Cross Street, consisting of a 2.7 to 3.3 metre high angled screen fence surrounded by 4 existing and two additional mature lilly pilli trees (to the west) and (4) Leyland cypress trees (to the east). To reduce the noise impact it is proposed to construct a post and rail and acoustic panel barrier (2.1 metres high) located adjacent to the eastern end of the courtyard and rest area and acoustic panelling to the existing metal louvers on the western side of the swim centre building. The owner of 12 Cross Street has supported the proposed ameliorative works provided they substantially achieve their aims.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 8

ITEM 2 (Continued) Under Section 121ZG of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act Council has discretion and may revoke an order at any time. When exercising such discretion Council would need to take a number of factors into consideration, such as the seriousness of the breach and the likely outcome of any legal proceedings. As the owner of the swim centre is proposing to carry out ameliorative works, Council could order the carrying out of such works as an immediate measure to remedy any adverse impacts on 12 Cross Street. Under Section 1210 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, development consent is not required to comply with an order issued by Council. Under Section 121K of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, Council after considering representation made concerning the proposed order may give an order in accordance with the proposed order. If Council decided to give an order, the owner of No. 14 Cross Street may appeal to the Land and Environment Court against the order. Should the owner of 14 Cross Street exercise these rights and lodge an appeal it would be extremely difficult for Council to mount a successful defence in view of the legal advice that has been obtained from Council’s Solicitors. RECOMMENDATION: (a) That Council issue a new order under the Environmental Planning and

Assessment Act on the owner of 14 Cross Street, to require the screening and noise attenuation work to the swimming pool filtration equipment to be carried out within a period of 28 days.

(b) That on completion of the above works the Notice of Intention to Give an

Order dated 8 August 2005 issued on the owner of 14 Cross Street to be revoked.

(c) That the owner of 14 Cross Street be requested to make an application for a

Building Certificate for the unauthorized works at 14 Cross Street. (d) That the owner of 14 Cross Street be advised that a formal development

consent is required by Council for any future works on the premises at 14 Cross Street or 16 Cross Street, Ryde.

(e) That the persons who made complaints be advised of Council’s decision. Ken Nagle Manager Environmental Health & Building

ITEM 3 80 CHAMPION ROAD, TENNYSON POINT. LOT: 2 DP: 942931. Section 96 Application to modify development consent by deleting condition number 2 - install privacy screens. Screens to be replaced with balustrades to comply with BCA. Section 96 Application 1244.3/2003. Applicant: B Gardiner.

INSPECTION 4.35PM INTERVIEW 5.20PM

FILE NO. LDA03/1244 Group Manager Environment and Planning Reports 28 November 2005 1. Report Summary This report considers the outcome of 2 meetings with the applicant and neighbours as required by the Council resolution of 13 September. This Section 96 application proposes to delete condition no. 2 from the original consent, which stated that the applicant had to install suitable privacy screens to the sides of the rear decking. The proposal asks to replace the privacy screens with balustrades that comply with the Building Code of Australia. The deck has been constructed and the balustrades have been erected to all sides, due to the height of the deck off the natural ground level. Reason for Referral to Development Committee: Resolution of the Council. 2. Site (Refer to attached map.) Address : 80 Champion Road, Tennyson Point Site Area : 1158.30m2

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 11

ITEM 3 (Continued) 4. Background / Critical Dates At its meeting of 13 September 2005 the Council considered an application to delete a condition of consent which required privacy screens to be erected on a deck. A Development Application for alterations and additions to the rear of a dwelling, including a 3.75m extension to the first floor rear deck, was approved on 3 March 2004. Since then two (2) applications to modify the approved plans have been received. The first involved the deletion of some windows, changes in window sizes and some minor internal changes and was approved on 22 April 2005. The current application was lodged on 7 July 2005 and is for the deletion of condition 2 of the original consent.

2. Suitable privacy screens to the sides of the rear decking are to be

provided to reduce the direct overlooking of the private open spaces of the adjoining properties. Details are to be submitted and approved by Council or an accredited certifier prior to the issue of a Construction Certificate.

The neighbour on the northern boundary stated that they believe that there will be no impact on their property and asked that the screen not be erected on their side of the property (adjoining 78 Champion Road). Council Officers recommended a compromise position to allow for the privacy screen to be deleted on this boundary, but constructed on the southern boundary (adjoining 82 Champion Road), to an approved height of 1.5m. At the site meeting and the Development Committee, the applicant indicated that they were opposed to the screen and the neighbours at 82 Champion Road felt that the screen should be provided. Council resolved:

(a) That consideration of this matter be deferred for the Group Manager – Environment & Planning to meet with the applicant and objector to find a suitable solution to maintaining privacy that is acceptable to both parties.

(b) That the Group Manager – Environment & Planning submit a further report

following the meeting between the parties referred to in (a) above. REPORT Following the Council resolution, 2 meetings were held, one at the Civic Centre and one on site. No agreement was reached, and 5 alternatives were explored.

• Alternative 1 – Build the screens as per the condition of consent

• Alternative 2 – (proposed by the Group Manager) Erect a 1.5m high screen for half the length of the deck.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 12

ITEM 3 (Continued)

• Alternative 3 – Erect a 1.5m high screen along the full length of the deck, with 450 angled louvers (proposed by the neighbours)

• Alternative 4 – Erect a railing 1.5m inside the current balcony railing (proposed

by the applicant)

• Alternative 5 - Erect a railing 2m inside the current balcony railing (proposed by the applicant)

Alternatives 2,3,4 and 5, alter the angle of view and improve privacy. 5. Management Plan Linkages N/A. 6. Relationship to Key Outcome Areas This was discussed in the previous report to the Development Committee, which is CIRCULATED UNDER SEPARATE COVER. 7. Consultation – Internal and External None required 8. Submissions: This was discussed in the previous report. 9. Policy Implications This was discussed in the previous report. 10. Likely impacts of the Development This was discussed in the previous report. 11. Suitability of the site for the development This was discussed in the previous report. 12.

ITEM 3 (Continued) Other Options None. 14. CONCLUSION: As no agreement has been reached the matter has been referred to the Development Committee for consideration. The neighbours at 82 Champion Road have requested that the Councillors view the privacy issue from their home.

ITEM 4 23 MORRISON ROAD, GLADESVILLE. LOT: 8 SEC: 4 DP: 69382. Local Development Application for demolition of existing buildings, construction of 3 storey residential flat building (5 x 2 bedroom units) with basement carpark, and strata subdivision. LDA 525/2005. Applicant: Enviroplas Australia Pty Ltd.

INSPECTION 4.55PM INTERVIEW 5.30PM

FILE NO. LDA05/525 Manager Assessment Reports 23 November 2005 The assessment contained in this report is a summary of the matters deemed relevant to this development proposal and matters contained in the Department of Planning's Guide to Section 79C – Potential Matters for Consideration. 1. Report Summary This report considers a proposal to demolish the existing buildings and erect a residential flat building containing 5 x 2 bedroom units, and strata subdivide the completed development. The building will be 3 storeys in height over 1 basement level of parking containing 8 parking spaces (7 resident and 1 visitor), with vehicular access from Morrison Rd. The development has been assessed in terms of Council’s Residential Flat Building Code, and there are areas of non-compliance in terms of site requirements (allotment size and frontage), setbacks from front, secondary street and side/rear boundaries, and window separation from adjoining buildings. However, on balance, it is considered that the effects of these non-compliances are minimal and they do not warrant refusal of the application. 2 objections were received in relation to the development. None of the issues raised warrant refusal of the application or amendments to the design. The development is recommended for conditional approval. Reason for Referral to Development Committee: Submissions and nature of the proposed development. 2. Site (Refer to attached map.) Address : 23 Morrison Road, Gladesville Site Area : 502m2

Frontage 16m to Morrison Rd Depth 31.49m (= frontage to Linsley St)

ITEM 4 (Continued) Topography and Vegetation : The land slopes down to the south (i.e. the corner of

Morrison Rd and Linsley St) and contains no significant vegetation.

Existing Buildings : Dwelling and sheds (all to be demolished). Planning Controls Zoning : Residential 2(c5) under the Ryde Planning Scheme

Ordinance (RPSO) Other : RPSO Mandatory Provisions Residential Flat Building Code DCP 37 – Access for People with Disabilities. Section 94 Contribution Plan SEPP 65 – Design Quality of Residential Flat

Development DCP 45 – Energy Smart, Water Wise DCP 27 – Waste Minimisation and Management 3. Proposal

• Demolition of dwelling house and ancillary structures (sheds and garage) • Erection of 3 storey residential flat building containing 5x2 bedroom units,

with basement parking for 8 vehicles below (7 resident and 1 visitor). The development is to be constructed with 2x2br units on each of the ground and 1st floor levels, and 1x2br unit covering the entire 2nd floor level.

• Strata Subdivision of the completed development. 4. Background Proposals to develop the subject land with a new residential flat development have been made since March 2003, when LDA 286/2003 was lodged for a 3-storey town house style residential flat development containing 3x4br units. This application was refused for various reasons including non-compliance with the RPSO, poor quality of courtyards (especially overshadowing by adjoining developments), and drainage design not being in accordance with Council’s DCP 41 – Stormwater. On 10 August 2004, LDA 717/2004 was lodged for a 3 storey residential flat building containing 2x3br townhouses. This application was approved by Council’s Development Committee on 2 November 2004, however since that time the applicant for that DA has not taken any steps towards acting upon that consent (i.e. no lodgement of a Construction Certificate etc).

Page 18: Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05, 6 …...2005/12/06  · RECOMMENDATION: That the report of the meeting of the Development Committee No. 20/05 held on 15 November 2005, be confirmed

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 17

ITEM 4 (Continued) Since then, the applicant has pursued a “walk-up” style of residential flat development with the current DA for 5x2br units. The applicant had pre-lodgement meetings with Council’s staff in May 2005, and as part of these it was advised that large (>180m2) townhouses are not financially viable in an older residential area, hence the application for a more typical walk-up style of development. Prior to lodging the current DA, the applicant attended a pre-lodgement meeting with Council’s staff on 19 May 2005. The issues raised during the pre-lodgement meeting were: • Car parking and access issues (proximity to intersection of Linsley St and

Morrison Rd, vehicle manoeuvring, and disabled access) • Compliance with SEPP 65 • Landscaping • Drainage (compliance with DCP 41 required). • Disabled access report to be submitted with the DA. • Section 94 contributions The applicant has addressed all of the issues raised in pre-lodgement, as will be discussed later in this report. 5. Management Plan Linkages N/A 6. Relationship to Key Outcome Areas Assets The assessment of this development application meets the following key outcomes for Assets (set out on page 27 of the Management Plan 2005-2008): • Footpaths, cycleways and roads that are well maintained and designed to

enable the safe use by all users. • New buildings that are functional, attractive and designed to minimise their

impact on the environment. • Stormwater infrastructure that is well maintained and designed to enhance

public safety and amenity. Comment: New footpaths and stormwater infrastructure is to be provided as conditions of consent – see conditions 57, 58, 68. It is considered that the new building is functional, attractive and designed to minimise impact on the environment. Also, condition 52 require an increase in the corner splay to improve sightlines.

ITEM 4 (Continued) EnvironmentThe City of Ryde is committed to becoming an ecologically sustainable City through the professional management of our City’s natural and physical environment and the conservation of natural resources to ensure the health, diversity and productivity of the local environment is maintained or enhanced for the benefit of future generations. The assessment of this development application meets the following key outcomes for Environment (set out on pages 35-36 of the Management Plan 2005-2008): • Social and economic needs are met in a way that does not harm the

environment. • A leafy City through parks, gardens, trees and the built environment. • There are systems and processes in place that measure our impact on the

environment and take action when our environment is threatened. • Well designed places and spaces that minimise personal harm and where

people interact with each other, so that crime is reduced. Comment: The development has been assessed using the heads of consideration listed in Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 which requires consideration of social and economic impacts, the natural and built environment. See Section 9 and 10 below. Governance The City of Ryde is committed to ethical and effective decision making processes that ensure full transparency and involvement of its community in the governance of the City. The assessment of this development application meets the key outcomes for Governance (set out on pages 47-48 of the Management Plan 2005-2008): • Improved communication with the community and increased awareness and

understanding of council’s decisions by the community. • Compliance with all legislative requirements and statutory obligations. • An efficient and effective regulatory environment. Comment: The assessment of this DA has met these key outcomes through carrying out notification procedures as per Council’s Notification DCP, and assessment of the DA under Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 19

ITEM 4 (Continued) People The City of Ryde is committed to becoming a socially sustainable City through effective community participation and the active application of social justice principles. A City in which its citizens work together to improve the quality of life and enhance community wellbeing through improved networks and services. The assessment of this development application meets the key outcomes for People (set out on pages 54-55 of the Management Plan 2005-2008): • Members of the community are engaged through involvement in democratic

decision making and the promotion of active citizenship. • The arts, culture, economy, environment, housing, leisure and public health of

our community are positively and proactively influenced. • Growth and benefits for the community are demonstrated through the

provision of employment, economic and academic opportunities. • The dignity, aspirations, and rights of residents are responded to. Comment: The assessment of this DA has met these key outcomes through carrying out notification procedures as per Council’s Notification DCP, and assessment of the DA under Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. 7. Consultation – Internal and External Internal Referrals Development Engineer: Raises no objection subject to conditions 52-79. In addition to issues regarding built form covered in the assessment under the RFB Code, the location of the site on a corner raises issues of sight distance/traffic safety. With regard to this issue, Council’s Development Engineer has provided the following comments:

"The proposed on site detention basin on the corner of Morrison Road and Linsley Street requires the construction of a retaining wall on the property boundary. The landscape plan indicates fairly dense planting behind this wall which will potentially limit sight vision for vehicular and pedestrian traffic at this intersection. To facilitate safe movements at the intersection it is suggested that a 3 metre by 3 metre splay be provided on the corner. This will have an impact on the on site detention basin, however it may be better to compromise on the volume provided in the basin to provide this sight distance.

Page 21: Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05, 6 …...2005/12/06  · RECOMMENDATION: That the report of the meeting of the Development Committee No. 20/05 held on 15 November 2005, be confirmed

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 20

ITEM 4 (Continued)

The amended plan for the on site detention basin may be submitted with the construction certificate. Additional condition: Splay Corner Dedication The applicant shall at no cost to Council dedicate as public road a splay corner 3 metres by 3 metres at the junction of Morrison Road and Linsley Road."

(See condition 52). Landscape Architect:

"The site contains no significant vegetation other than a collection of noxious weeds including:

African Olive (Olea africana) Large Leaf Privet (Ligustrum lucidum) Camphor Laurel (Cinnamomum camphora)

The landscape plan proposes the planting of only two trees across the whole development (and one additional street planting of Brushbox). Certainly the density of tree planting and selection could be increased to be more in keeping with the requirements of the DCP, in terms of providing a suitable level of amenity: Ensure that trees and shrubs have an informal and softening effect on the development and the overall environment, with trees and shrubs planted in sufficient numbers and scale to achieve this aim (p16 Residential Flat Building Code)

My only other comment in terms of the code would be the lack of provision of common open space, which according to the code should be located behind the front setback and provide “internal aspect”. The majority of ground-floor open space is set aside as private open space for the two ground floor units, which given the small size of the development is probably an acceptable arrangement and utilization of the available space. With regard to the proposed street planting of Brushbox, I am not sure if Urban Landscapes has commented but the planting of large trees such as Brushbox under overhead power lines is unlikely to be supported, and maybe should be substituted with a more suitable species.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 21

ITEM 4 (Continued)

Conditions Landscaping of the development site is to be carried out in accordance with the landscape plan/concept prepared by Ray Fuggle and Associates Issue A, dated 14th July, 2005 submitted with the development application, except as amended by the following conditions: i. An additional 3 tree specimens are to be planted (one each on the

Linsley St and Morrison Rd frontages and one on the corner (the Crepe Myrtle is to be deleted), and they should achieve a mature height of 7-9m and therefore be in scale with the development. Services should be laid so as to allow for tree planting and future tree growth, and tree root barriers should be installed where walls or driveways are in close proximity. "

Condition 3 has been imposed to address the comments of the Landscape Architect. External Referrals Nil. 8. Submissions: The proposal was advertised and notified in accordance with the Development Control Plan for Notification. The application was advertised on 3 August 2005. Notification of the proposal was from 4 August until 18 August 2005. 2 submissions were received. The issues raised in the submissions were: The development’s height will cause significant overshadowing in the winter months. Comment: As indicated in the shadow diagrams submitted with the DA, the shadows from the development will fall mainly on the road (because the site is on the north-western corner), and should therefore not significantly impact upon any adjoining property. The height of the development is considered excessive for the size of the block, and is not in keeping with the neighbouring flats. Comment: The proposed development has a maximum height of 9.56m, which complies with the 11m height limit for 3 storey residential flat buildings. The proposal is also significantly lower than the existing buildings to the north and west. No planning objections are raised to the height of the development. 5 units on the site will add to the heavy car traffic in Linsley St, which is significantly used by pupils of Gladesville Public School. Comment: According to the RTA’s Guidelines for Traffic Generating Developments, a 5 unit residential flat development with “small units” (i.e. up to 2 bedrooms) would potentially generate up to 25 daily vehicle trips (2.5 in the peak hour). This would only be considered to be a moderate increase in traffic compared to the existing volumes carried by Morrison Rd.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 22

ITEM 4 (Continued) Because the site is a corner allotment, issues are raised regarding sight distances for drivers. A splay corner will be required to be dedicated (see condition 52), to ensure that the development’s retaining walls on the boundary, as well as landscaping, do not impede driver’s sight distance. This is discussed further under the Development Engineer's referral above. Does the building comply with boundary setback requirements? Comment: The development does not comply with the front, secondary and side/rear setback provisions of the RFB Code, as discussed in Section 9 of this report below. However, as discussed below, the non-compliance is considered acceptable in the context of the site. The privacy (of the development to the north) will be affected by the development. Comment: Privacy issues are discussed in Section 9 of this report. It is considered that the development proposes a reasonable design solution which will reasonably preserve the privacy of occupants of both this development and the adjoining development, having regard to the zoning of the property which allows residential flat developments up to 3 storeys in height, and also having regard to the close setbacks of existing buildings on adjoining allotments. The development will cause a loss of views. Comment: The only reason why the adjoining property presently enjoys a view is because the owner of the subject property has not developed his property to its potential under the zoning of the land, which allows residential flats up to 3 storeys in height. Under these circumstances it would not be reasonable to expect that the existing view will remain in perpetuity. There is already a DA approval given for a development which did not comply with Council’s requirements. Has this (previous) DA been withdrawn? Comment: The previous DA has a valid development consent issued on 2 November 2004, but which has not been acted upon. Should this current DA be approved, it is recommended that a condition be imposed requiring the surrender of the previous consent (see condition 51). Council regulations should be in place to protect and benefit the community at large. Development which does not comply with such requirements should not be approved, and it would be disturbing for another development, which does not meet Council’s own requirements, to be approved after a previous non-complying DA was approved. Comment: Planning controls in DCPs/Codes/Council policies may be varied if an acceptable planning outcome can be achieved. This is considered to be the case in this development.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 24

ITEM 4 (Continued)

“1. The site is an isolated property in that the adjoining properties have already been developed for residential flat building purposes. 2. The site is a corner property. Accordingly, the impact of the proposal upon adjoining properties is minimized given that it only shares 2 common property boundaries with 2 rather than 3 other residential properties. 3. The proposal makes a significant contribution towards the urban consolidation objectives of the NSW Government and makes better use of existing facilities and services in the locality. 4. The proposal being visually interesting and contemporary in architecture will make a positive contribution to the streetscape. 5. The design, bulk, scale, size, siting of the proposed building is contemporary to that of the adjoining residential flat buildings. 6. The proposal has been provided with adequate setbacks and landscaped areas to satisfy the amenity needs of the prospective residents of the development and that of the adjoining developments.”

The land is an isolated property, and there have been numerous recent examples within the City of Ryde (e.g. 98 Station St, 698 Victoria Rd, 5 Gowrie St, 2 Beazley St) where developments have been approved on similarly-sized allotments which are isolated because of substantial developments on adjoining land, and which do not comply with the site area and frontage requirements in similar circumstances, but which still result in a reasonable quality development outcome. Although there is non-compliance in terms of setbacks and site requirements, the proposed development will provide an acceptable built form, and (as discussed below) the proposal has incorporated the recommendations of the Urban Design Review Panel. The development is considered to provide a good quality of residential flat development, notwithstanding the non-compliance with the site requirements. As noted previously in this report, Council has previously granted approval for a 2x3br, 3 storey townhouse style residential flat development on the land in November 2004, and this development also did not comply with the RPSO in terms of site requirements (allotment size and frontage), as well as the Residential Flat Building Code in terms of setbacks (i.e. front setback to Morrison Rd, secondary setback to Linsley St, and side/rear setbacks to both the northern and western boundaries). It is considered that the applicant’s SEPP 1 submission is worthy of support, and no planning objections are raised to the non-compliance with the site requirements in the circumstances of the case.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 25

ITEM 4 (Continued) (b) Relevant State Environmental Planning Policies State Environmental Planning Policy No 65 – Design Quality of Residential Flat Development SEPP 65 was gazetted on 26 July 2002, and must be considered in the assessment of development applications. Clause 30 requires the following matters to be taken into consideration: - Clause 30(2)(a) - The advice of the relevant Design Panel. The DA was referred to Council’s Urban Design Review Panel on 15 June 2005 (i.e. prior to the lodgement of the DA), and their assessment of the development proposal is discussed in the following section. Clause 30(2)(b) - The design quality of the residential flat development when evaluated in accordance with the design quality principles. The following are the comments of Council’s Urban Design Review Panel in relation to the design quality principles are listed in clauses 7-18, Part 2 of the SEPP:- Principle 1: Context Good design responds and contributes to its context. Context can be defined as the key natural and built features of an area. Responding to context involves identifying the desirable character elements of a location or, in the case of precincts, undergoing a transition the desired future character as stated in planning and design policies. New buildings will thereby contribute to the quality and identity of the area. Design Panel Comments: The area is comprised of single houses and 3 storey residential flat buildings. The site is a corner with the 2 remaining boundaries to residential flat buildings. A residential flat building is appropriate in the area. Principle 2: Scale Good design provides an appropriate scale in terms of the bulk and height that suits the scale of the street and the surrounding buildings. Establishing an appropriate scale requires a considered response to the scale of existing development. In precincts undergoing a transition, proposed bulk and height needs to achieve the scale and identified for the desired future character of the area. Design Panel Comments:The streetscape of Morrison Rd is composed of single storey detached houses and 3-4 storey residential flat buildings. The area is undergoing change with detached housing being amalgamated into larger developments.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 26

ITEM 4 (Continued) The proposed development is appropriate in height and due to the size of the block is narrow in plan. The site is a corner lot and the applicant should investigate the setbacks of the development on opposite corners. The applicant may consider reducing the front setback to better respond to the street corner. Principle 3: Built Form Good design achieves an appropriate built form for a site and the building’s purpose, in terms of building alignments, proportions, building type and the manipulation of building elements. Appropriate built form defines the public domain, contributes to the character of streetscapes and parks, including their views and vistas, and provides internal amenity and outlook. Design Panel Comments:The proposed development is a 3 storey walk up residential flat building. The internal planning is symmetrically arranged about an internal stairwell. The built form could be enhanced by the refinement of the entry area, and the refinement of the detailing of the elevation. (refer aesthetics). Principle 4: Density Good design has a density appropriate for a site and its context; in terms of floor space yields (or number of units or residents). Appropriate densities are sustainable and consistent with the existing density in an area, or in precincts undergoing a transition, are a consistent with the stated desired future desired. Sustainable densities respond to the regional context, availability of infrastructure, public transport, community facilities and environmental quality. Design Panel Comments: The density of the proposal is generally considered acceptable for the site although the amenity of the existing neighbouring buildings would be improved if the side and rear boundary setback was increased. Principle 5: Resource, Energy and Water Efficiency Good design makes efficient use of natural resources, energy and water throughout its full life cycle, including construction. Sustainability is integral to the design process. Aspects include a demolition of existing structures, recycling of materials, selection of appropriate and sustainable materials, adaptability and reuse of buildings, layouts and built form, passive solar design principles, efficient appliances and mechanical services, soil zones for vegetation and reuse of water.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 27

ITEM 4 (Continued) Design Panel Comments:The proposed development should store and re-use roof water for irrigation of landscaping and toilet flushing water uses on the site. The elevations should include solar control for windows, especially those to the north and west. (The applicant produced more developed design drawings that showed solar control over certain windows). The inclusion of skylights in the upper level will provide for greater solar access to the living dining area for the level 3 unit. Principle 6: Landscape Good design recognises that together landscape and buildings operate as an integrated and sustainable system, resulting in greater aesthetic quality and amenity for both occupants and the adjoining public domain. Landscape design builds on the existing site’s natural and cultural features in responsible and creative ways. It enhances the development’s natural environmental performance. It contributes to the positive image and contextual fit of development through respect for streetscape and neighbourhood character, or desired future character. Landscape design should optimise usability, privacy and social opportunity, equitable access and respect for neighbours’ amenity, and provide for practical establishment and long-term management performance by coordinating water and soil management, solar access, microclimate, and tree canopy and habitat value. Design Panel Comments:There is insufficient landscape material to assess. As stated the proposed development should store and re-use roof water for irrigation of the landscaping and toilet flushing uses on the site. The carpark should be moved southwards to allow for deep soil planting along the northern boundary. Principle 7: Amenity Good design provides amenity through the physical, spatial and environmental quality of a development. Optimising amenity requires appropriate room dimensions and shapes, access to sunlight, natural ventilation, visual and acoustic privacy, storage, indoor and outdoor space, efficient layouts and service areas, outlook and ease of access for all age groups and degrees of mobility.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 28

ITEM 4 (Continued) Design Panel Comments:The proposed development in general provides a good level of amenity for the units including: • Cross ventilation for all units • Solar control over openings • Solar access to primary living areas (The applicant produced updated plans that included additional windows to provide greater solar access into the primary living dining area of the southern units). The scheme could be improved by the amendment of the following: • Increase the size of bedroom 2 • Increase the entry area within the units • Increase the size/number of windows to the master bedrooms • Redesign the stairwell to provide internal access from the car park. Principle 8: Safety and Security Good design optimises safety and security, both internal to the development and for the public domain. This is achieved by maximising overlooking of public and communal spaces while maintaining internal privacy, avoiding dark and non-visible areas, maximising activity on streets, providing clear, safe access points, providing quality public spaces that cater for desired recreational uses, providing lighting appropriate to the location and desired activities, and clear definition between public and private spaces. Design Panel Comments:The carpark should be made secure by the inclusion of a roller shutter and a secure access to the internal foyer/stair. (The applicant should investigate if the carpark should be redesigned by re-orienting the cars 90o along the eastern side of the carpark). Principle 9: Social Dimensions Good design responds to the social context and needs of the local community in terms of lifestyles, affordability, and access to social facilities. New developments should optimise the provision of housing to suit the social mix and needs in the neighbourhood or, in the case of precincts undergoing transition, provide for the desired future community.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 29

ITEM 4 (Continued) Design Panel Comments:The development provides for a disabled adaptable unit. The application has considered the future inclusion of a lift for disabled access to the carpark level. Principle 10: Aesthetics Quality aesthetics require the appropriate composition of buildings elements, textures, materials and colours and reflect the use, internal design and structure of the development. Aesthetics should respond to the environment and context, particularly to desirable elements of the existing streetscape or, in precincts undergoing transition, contribute to the desired future character of the area. Design Panel Comments:The proposed elevation would be greatly improved by: • The inclusion of protection over window openings • Refining the detailing of pergolas, sliding louvered panels, etc • Rationalizing the window proportions and window types/sizes • Using appropriate materials and colours e.g. face brick/rendered elements. RECOMMENDATIONS The following recommendations would greatly improve the quality of the development: • Consider reducing the front setback to better address the corner. • Increase the rear setback of the carpark to allow for deep soil planting and

screening to the neighbouring properties • The applicant must locate the neighbouring buildings including the location of

windows to ensure the amenity of the existing neighbouring buildings is not compromised by this development.

• Investigate options for the carpark to allow for direct and secure access to the internal stairwell.

• Amend the plans as discussed to increase the amenity of the units. Comments on Design Panel Recommendations: The referral of this proposed development to the Design Panel during the pre-lodgement process has enabled the applicant to address the issues raised as part of the formal DA submission. With regards to the above recommendations, the applicant has made the following amendments from the pre-lodgement plans in the formal DA submission: • The front setback (to Morrison Rd) has been decreased from 7.5m (to front wall)

to 6.5m (to front wall). • The rear (northern) setback of the basement carpark has been increased from 0m

(built on boundary) to 1.39m. This also results in an increase in area available for deep-soil planting at the north-western corner of the site.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 30

ITEM 4 (Continued) • The location of the neighbouring buildings (including location of windows) is

provided on the plans, and it is considered that the design of the proposed development reasonably maintains a satisfactory level of amenity for the adjoining developments, as well as this development.

• The stairwell design has been amended to contain the stairwell securely within the building. In the pre-lodgement plans, the stairs to the basement (on the eastern side) was not contained within the building and therefore it was possible for any person to enter the basement carpark unhindered.

• Amendments have been made including alterations to the window design and proportion, and inclusion of protection over openings, as recommended by the design panel.

The amendments to the DA plans have incorporated the advice of the Design Panel and will result in a satisfactory design and external appearance. It is considered that the development is satisfactory in terms of SEPP 65. The publication entitled “Better Urban Living Guidelines for Urban Housing in NSW” (Department of Urban Affairs and Planning and NSW Government Architect 1998). This publication is required to be considered in the determination of residential flat buildings pursuant to clause 30(2)(c) of SEPP 65. The publication contains the following 5 parts for consideration: Strategic Planning (i.e. locating urban housing, understanding local character, housing choice, innovation) Urban Infrastructure (i.e. urban form, public open space, master planning, building envelopes, mixed uses, setbacks, heights, residential building types) Site Design (i.e. site analysis, communal and private open space, visual privacy, acoustic privacy, landscape, vehicle access, servicing and parking) Environmental Design (i.e. ecologically sustainable development (ESD), energy efficiency, ESD report, natural ventilation, daylight access, wind mitigation) Building Design (i.e. access and circulation, apartment layouts, size, ceiling height, balcony, roof, façade composition, operability and maintenance, recreational facilities, adaptability and diversity, safety, security and communications, site facilities). The proposal has been assessed by the design panel. It is considered that the proposed development is acceptable in terms of the above considerations as contained in the Better Urban Living Guidelines. (c) Any draft LEPs None relevant.

Notes from Table Above: 1. Site Requirements (Lot Size and Frontage): The development’s non-compliance with

Council’s site requirements (lot size and frontage) has been addressed previously in this report (see Section 9(a) – Ryde Planning Scheme Ordinance – Mandatory Requirements).

2. Front Setbacks: The RFB Code requires an 11m setback for 3 storey buildings,

which can be reduced by 1.5m (to 9.5m) for no more than 50% of the length of the wall. A secondary setback (to Linsley St in this case) of 8m is also required. The development has a front setback ranging from 6.215m to 6.5m to the wall (to Morrison Rd), and a secondary setback to Linsley St ranging from 1.8m to 4m, and therefore does not comply with these requirements.

The front and secondary setbacks are a result of the isolated nature of the property. It only has a width of 16m and a depth of 31.49m, and because the site is isolated by adjoining substantial developments, some relaxation of the front setback requirements must occur if the site is to be developed in a reasonable way. Strict compliance with the front setbacks would result in a building which is excessively pushed back to the rear boundary, which would cause amenity and privacy impacts on the adjoining residential flat development to the north (this is discussed further in note 3. below) This front setback to Morrison Rd is the same as the existing dwelling on the site (to be demolished), and is in accordance with the Design Panel’s recommendation to reduce the setback to better address the street corner. It is considered that the front setback and secondary setbacks are appropriate for the development, having regard to the constraints of the site.

3. Side and Rear Setbacks: The proposed development does not comply with the side

setback requirements of the RFB Code, which for a 3 storey development are 6m (which can be reduced by 25% (to 4.5m) for no more than 50% of the total wall length). The proposed side setbacks range from 4.5m (north side) and 2m – 4.5m (west), and therefore do not comply with the RFB Code requirements.

Page 34: Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05, 6 …...2005/12/06  · RECOMMENDATION: That the report of the meeting of the Development Committee No. 20/05 held on 15 November 2005, be confirmed

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 33

ITEM 4 (Continued)

The reduced side setbacks in this development are typical of developments on narrow sites such as the subject land, and strict compliance with side setback requirements would result in an undesirable built form (i.e. an excessively tall, narrow building). The side setbacks raise issues in terms of proximity to adjoining residential flat buildings, which have been constructed close to the boundary with the subject land. These are discussed in note 4. below. The side setback reductions proposed in this application are considered acceptable in the context of the subject land.

4. Window Separation: The RFB Code requires a 10m separation between windows of

adjoining buildings. The development proposes separation of approx 7.5m from the building to the north, and 6.5m from the building to the west, and therefore does not comply with this requirement.

In terms of the site to the north (15 Linsley), there is a 4 storey older-style residential flat building with balconies facing the subject land. As a response to this, the subject development has a 4.5m setback to the northern boundary, and in units 1-4, the lounge room and courtyard is further forward than the adjoining building so that direct viewing between the lounge and the adjoining living rooms is minimised as much as possible. Although the dining room is more directly in line with the adjoining living rooms (and balcony), it is reasonable to expect that this would not be used as intensely as would a lounge room, and so the privacy issues would not be as critical. Unit 5 (top level) only has a bedroom, bathroom and ensuite facing north, which would not cause significant privacy issues.

The site to the west (25 Morrison Rd) also has a 4 storey development, but not all of the windows of this development are to living rooms. Some of the windows appear to be to a common stairway/lobby and bathrooms. In response, the subject development proposes no windows to the closest wall (with the 2m setback) facing the adjoining site (the windows are to the side of the bedroom in units 1-4), and the main living rooms are more oriented away from the adjoining development. Although the development has windows within 10m of an adjoining building, the resulting privacy impacts are not significant as to warrant refusal of the proposal. The development is considered to be a reasonable response to a small site, in terms of its relationship to adjoining land.

DCP 45 – Energy Smart, Water Wise The proposal complies with the provisions of this DCP. Conditions 4-5 have been included requiring energy efficient devices and appliances. DCP 27 – Waste Minimisation and Management A waste plan was submitted with the application which complies with the requirements of DCP 27.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 34

ITEM 4 (Continued) DCP 37 – Access for People with Disabilities An accessibility report has been submitted with the DA which has been assessed by Council’s Building Surveyor and found to be satisfactory in terms of this DCP. Section 94 Contributions Plan A Section 94 contribution of $28984 is payable under this Plan. See condition 2. This takes into account the applicable rates for 5 residential flat units and a “credit” for 1 dwelling house. 10. Likely Impacts, including environmental impacts on both the natural and

built environment and social and economic impacts in the locality. The likely impacts on the development in terms of the built and natural environment have been discussed throughout this report. It is considered, despite the non-compliances with the RFB Code that the development is satisfactory and will have acceptable environmental impacts. 11. Suitability of the site for the development The site is suitably zoned for the proposed residential flat development and is not subject to any constraints (e.g. overland flow or land slip etc) which would render it as unsuitable for the proposed development. 12. The Public Interest The development is permissible within the zoning of the property and will add to the housing choice and housing stock available in the City of Ryde. The submissions do not warrant refusal of the application. Overall, it is considered that approval of the development would be in the public interest. 13. Financial Impact Adoption of the option(s) outlined in this report will have no financial impact. Other Options Nil. 14. CONCLUSION: The development has been assessed using the heads of consideration listed in Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and is considered satisfactory.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 35

ITEM 4 (Continued) Although there are areas of non-compliance with the RPSO and the Residential Flat Building Code, notably regarding site requirements, and front, secondary and side/rear setbacks, the impacts resulting from these non-compliances are acceptable in the context of the development and they will not adversely impact on any adjoining development. As noted previously in this report, Council has previously granted approval for a 2x3br, 3 storey townhouse style residential flat development on the land in November 2004 (LDA04/717), and this development also did not comply with the RPSO in terms of site requirements (allotment size and frontage), as well as the Residential Flat Building Code in terms of setbacks (i.e. front setback to Morrison Rd, secondary setback to Linsley St, and side/rear setbacks to both the northern and western boundaries). In the circumstances, the proposed development is appropriate for conditional approval. RECOMMENDATION: (a) That Local Development Application No.525/2005 at 23 Morrison Road, Gladesville

being LOT: 8 SEC: 4 DP: 69382 be approved subject to the following conditions:

ITEM 5 78 AGINCOURT ROAD MARSFIELD. LOT: 1 DP: 515124. Local Development Application for Commence a use - dance studio. LDA 280/2005. Applicant: Mrs Jennifer Engelmann.

FILE NO. LDA05/280 Group Manager Environment and Planning Reports 23 November 2005 Report Summary This report facilitates the Development Committee’s further consideration of a development application for a dance studio in the first floor of an existing building on the subject land. Background At its Development Committee meeting of 23 August 2005, in relation to the subject development application, Council resolved the following:

“That consideration of this application be deferred for the applicant to provide a new parking plan for assessment by the Group Manager – Environment & Planning with a further report to be submitted to Council.”

Report The applicant’s planning consultant has submitted a letter dated 18 November 2005 addressing the car parking issues in the previous Development Committee report. This letter is ATTACHED to this report. The previous report to Council is CIRCULATED UNDER SEPARATE COVER. The applicant proposes the following arrangements in relation to the provision of car parking for the proposed dance studio:

• All on-site parking, as shown on the plans submitted with the development application, being utilized by the employees associated with the site activities, including the liquor store and the dance studio; and

• The dropping-off and picking-up of students being facilitated by: o The drive-through driveway and carpark associated with the (former)

Eastwood Town Hall on 74 Agincourt Rd, in accordance with the letter from the Spastic Centre of NSW (Note: this letter is also attached to this report)

o On-street kerbside parking in the area in Agincourt Rd, that has specifically been design to accommodate car parking associated with the use of this neighbourhood center; and/or

o Occasional on-site parking, when convenient and appropriate parking is available by people pulling into the driveway.

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 62

ITEM 5 (Continued) Assessment of the Applicant’s Response to Parking Issues The car parking arrangements proposed means that there is to be no on-site parking or drop-off area for parents and/or students of the dance studio (ie there will be employee only parking), and the off-site drop-off facility at the former Eastwood Town Hall depends upon the needs and uses of this hall and its occupant (presently the Spastic Centre of NSW). In their letter, they have indicated that they can offer the dance studio the use of the turning circle for drop-off/pick-up of students on a Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, but this is subject to changes in hall hire bookings. However, the City of Ryde is the owner of this property and the Spastic Centre cannot give approval for the use of this area for the Dance Studio. The applicant’s submission only confirms that the parking needs of this development cannot be accommodated on-site, and this is due to the positioning of the existing building relative to boundaries, etc. It is also proposed that on-street parking to be heavily relied on for the drop-off and pick-up of students. As noted in the previous Development Committee report, this is also not considered to be acceptable because the existing shops close to the subject site also rely on on-street parking (as they have no off-street parking), and, because the development involves children. The applicant’s additional parking proposal has also been discussed with Council’s Traffic Engineer, who has maintained his concerns regarding vehicles having to reverse out onto Agincourt Rd. The Traffic Engineer has also raised concern about the proposal in terms of the inability to provide on-site parking (ie having to rely on on-street parking or another site for drop-off and pick-up of children). The existing site of the dance studio (the Scout hall in Ball Ave, Eastwood) has been inspected in terms of the existing operations and impacts on that locality. Ball Ave is not a connecting road (ie it only runs a short distance from May St to Blaxland Rd and only has 1 side road running off it (Doomben Ave), and therefore does not have a lot of through traffic, unlike the proposed site in Agincourt Rd. Although there are presently no significant traffic problems in Ball Ave caused by the dance studio, it is considered that there is likely to be more problems at the proposed site because of the nature of the locality and the fact that Agincourt Rd is more of a connecting road than Ball Ave. Management Plan Budget/Linkages Not applicable. Relationship to Key Outcome Areas Assets The assessment of this development application meets the following key outcomes for Assets (set out on page 27 of the Management Plan 2005-2008):

Page 64: Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05, 6 …...2005/12/06  · RECOMMENDATION: That the report of the meeting of the Development Committee No. 20/05 held on 15 November 2005, be confirmed

CITY OF RYDE Development Committee Agenda No. 21/05 Page 63

ITEM 5 (Continued) • An integrated and efficient transport network that links the City, with minimal

environmental impact. • High quality environmentally friendly infrastructure services which meet all

Australian Standards and contribute to the lifestyle of the community. • Well planned, safe and maintained public places and spaces throughout the City. • Footpaths, cycleways and roads that are well maintained and designed to enable

the safe use by all users. • New buildings that are functional, attractive and designed to minimise their impact

on the environment. • Stormwater infrastructure that is well maintained and designed to enhance public

safety and amenity. Comment: This development is for the use of part of an existing building, and does not propose any new infrastructure such as footpaths etc. Hence it has no relationship to this key ou tcome area. Environment The City of Ryde is committed to becoming an ecologically sustainable City through the professional management of our City’s natural and physical environment and the conservation of natural resources to ensure the health, diversity and productivity of the local environment is maintained or enhanced for the benefit of future generations. The assessment of this development application meets the following key outcomes for Environment (set out on pages 35-36 of the Management Plan 2005-2008): • Social and economic needs are met in a way that does not harm the environment. • A leafy City through parks, gardens, trees and the built environment. • There are systems and processes in place that measure our impact on the

environment and take action when our environment is threatened. • Well designed places and spaces that minimise personal harm and where people

interact with each other, so that crime is reduced. Comment: In the previous Development Committee report, the development has been assessed using the heads of consideration listed in Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 which requires consideration of social and economic impacts, the natural and built environment.
