That the Committee resolve to deal with any supplementary items not appearing on the agenda, as reported by the General Manager.

 

No supplementary items were received.

 

 

 

 

4.       Indications of Pecuniary and Conflicts of Interest

Ref: Part 2, Regulation 8(7) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

 

Members of the Committee are requested to indicate where they may have any pecuniary or conflicts of interest in respect to any matter appearing on the agenda, or any supplementary item to the agenda, which the Committee has resolved to deal with.

 

No interest was indicated.

OR

 

 

 

5.       Transfer of Agenda Items

Regulation 15 of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

 

A committee may close a part of a meeting to the public where a matter to be discussed falls within 15(2) of the above regulations.

 

In the event that the committee transfer an item to the closed portion, the reasons for doing so should be stated.

 

Are there any items which should be transferred from this agenda to the closed portion of the agenda, or from the closed to the open portion of the agenda?

 

No items were transferred.

6.       Planning Authority Items - Consideration of Items with Deputations

 

In accordance with the requirements of Part 2 Regulation 8(3) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the General Manager is to arrange the agenda so that the planning authority items are sequential.

 

In accordance with Part 2 Regulation 8(4) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Committee by simple majority may change the order of any of the items listed on the agenda, but in the case of planning items they must still be considered sequentially – in other words they still have to be dealt with as a single group on the agenda.

 

Where deputations are to be received in respect to planning items, past practice has been to move consideration of these items to the beginning of the meeting.

 

BRISCOE

 

That in accordance with Regulation 8(4) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Committee resolve to deal with any items which have deputations by members of the public regarding any planning matter listed on the agenda, to be taken out of sequence in order to deal with deputations at the beginning of the meeting.

COMMITTEE RESOLUTION:

That pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council approve the application for partial demolition, alterations and extension and two multiple dwellings (one new, one existing) at 19 Lillie Street and adjoining right of way, Glebe for the reasons outlined in the officer’s report attached to item 7.1.2 of the Open City Planning Committee agenda of 12 February 2019 and a permit containing the following conditions be issued:

 

GEN

 

The use and/or development must be substantially in accordance with the documents and drawings that comprise PLN­18­573 ­ 19 LILLIE STREET GLEBE TAS 7000 ­ Final Planning Documents, except where modified below.

 

Reason for condition

 

To clarify the scope of the permit.

 

TW

 

The use and/or development must comply with the requirements of TasWater as detailed in the form Submission to Planning Authority Notice, Reference No. TWDA 2018/01459­HCC dated 10/09/2018 as attached to the permit.

 

Reason for condition

To clarify the scope of the permit.

 

PLN 8

 

The front fence along the front boundary must be no more than 1.2m in height above footpath level and be no less than 30% transparent.

 

Reason for condition

 

To provide reasonable opportunity for privacy for dwellings, to maintain the streetscape, and to clarify the scope of the permit.

 

PLN s4

 

The gable roof proposed for the rear dwelling is not approved and must be replaced with a skillion roof which rakes up from the north-eastern side to a high point at its southwestern side.

 

Prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016, revised plans must be submitted and approved showing:

 

1.   An amended roof design for the proposed new dwelling, whereby the gable roof over the living and dining rooms is replaced with a skillion roof that rakes up toward the southwestern side of the dwelling, to a maximum height of 700mm above the remaining roof form.

 

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved revised plans.

 

Advice:  The roof design submitted as plan 18015_DA14 Revision A and 18015_DA15 Revision A dated 3/1/2019 depict a roof form over the living and dining rooms that would satisfy this condition.

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure compliance with 11.4.2 P3 when considering the visual bulk the proposed works present to adjoining properties.

 

ENG sw1

 

All stormwater from the proposed development (including but not limited to: roofed areas, ag drains, retaining wall ag drains and impervious surfaces such as driveways and paved areas) must be drained to the Council’s stormwater infrastructure prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first).

 

Advice: it is noted that under the urban drainage act 2013 Council typically only approve one stormwater connection per property and that stormwater cannot be drained through a second property. It is likely that your stormwater from the new dwelling will be required to discharge through the existing kerb and gutter connection and that the proposed kerb and gutter connection will be permitted for draining the driveway only (which is on a separate title).

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure that stormwater from the site will be discharged to a suitable Council approved outlet.

 

ENG sw4

 

Any proposed new storm water connection must be constructed and existing connections proposed to be abandoned sealed by the Council at the owner’s expense, prior to the first occupation.

 

Detailed engineering drawings must be submitted and approved, prior to commencement of work. The detailed engineering drawings must include:

 

1.    The location of the proposed connection;

2.    The size of the connection appropriate to satisfy the needs of the development; and

3.    A long section of the proposed connection if the Council’s City Infrastructure Stormwater Engineers deem this necessary.

 

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved detailed engineering drawings.

 

Advice:

 

The applicant is advised to submit detailed design drawings via the Council City Infrastructure Division application for a new stormwater connection. If detailed design to satisfy this condition is submitted via the planning condition endorsement process there may be fees associated with the assessment, and once approved the applicant will still need to submit an application for a new stormwater connection with the Council’s City Infrastructure Division.

·     Where building / plumbing approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation to satisfy this condition is submitted well before submitting documentation for building/plumbing approval. Failure to address planning condition requirements prior to submitting for building/plumbing approval may result in unexpected delays.

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure the site is drained adequately.

 

ENG 4

 

The access driveway and parking module (car parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) approved by this permit must be constructed to a sealed standard (spray seal, asphalt, concrete, pavers or equivalent Council approved) and surface drained to the Council's stormwater infrastructure prior to the commencement of use.

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure the safety of users of the access driveway and parking module, and that it does not detract from the amenity of users, adjoining occupiers or the environment by preventing dust, mud and sediment transport.

 

ENG 1

 

The cost of repair of any damage to the Council's infrastructure resulting from the implementation of this permit, must be met by the owners within 30 days of the completion of the development or as otherwise determined by the Council.

 

A photographic record of the Council's infrastructure adjacent to the subject site must be provided to the Council prior to any commencement of works.

 

A photographic record of the Council’s infrastructure (e.g. existing property service connection points, roads, buildings, stormwater, footpaths, driveway crossovers and nature strips, including if any, pre­existing damage) will be relied upon to establish the extent of damage caused to the Council’s infrastructure during construction. In the event that the owner/developer fails to provide to the Council a photographic record of the Council’s infrastructure, then any damage to the Council's infrastructure found on completion of works will be deemed to be the responsibility of the owner.

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure that any of the Council's infrastructure and/or site­related service connections affected by the proposal will be altered and/or reinstated at the owner’s full cost.

 

ENV 1

 

Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to prevent sediment from leaving the site must be installed prior to any disturbance of the site, and maintained until all areas of disturbance have been stabilized or re­vegetated.

 

Advice: For further guidance in preparing a Soil and Water Management Plan – in accordance with Fact sheet 3 Derwent Estuary Program click here.

 

Reason for condition

 

To avoid the sedimentation of roads, drains, natural watercourses, Council land that could be caused by erosion and runoff from the development, and to comply with relevant State legislation.

 

HER 11

 

All brickwork, internal early and original joinery such as, but not limited to, architraves, doors, skirting boards, floorboards and picture rails and must be retained as is and in situ.

 

 

Prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016, revised plans must be submitted and approved showing the retention of all original and early fabric in accordance with the above requirement.

REAR BOUNDARY FENCE

 

While the Council commends the developer and neighbouring property owners for respectful discussions regarding potential amendments to the submitted design of the rear fence, any amendments to that design that result in the rear fence having a height exceeding 2.1 metres about natural ground level would not be planning exempt under clause 6.4 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, and would create a discretion under the ‘setbacks and building envelope’ provisions for the Inner Residential Zone not considered as part of the formal assessment of this application (PLN-18-573). Such a design would therefore require the lodgement of a separate planning application and the granting of a subsequent planning permit prior to construction of such a fence occurring.  For further advice, please contact the Development Appraisal Planner on 6238 2820.

 

ONGOING DISCUSSIONS WITH ADJOINING NEIGHBOURS

 

It is strongly recommended that the applicant continue discussions with adjoining neighbours to achieve a resolution in relation to the rear boundary fence that satisfies all parties.
