GEN

The use and/or development must be substantially in accordance with the documents and drawings that comprise PLN­18­869 ­ 1 NIXON STREET SANDY BAY TAS 7005 ­ Final Planning Documents except where modified below.

Reason for condition

To clarify the scope of the permit.

PLN 2

Screening with no more than 25% uniform transparency and a minimum height of 1.5m above finished surface level, must be installed and maintained along the southern edge of the deck on the upper floor of the addition prior to the first occupation.

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

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

Reason for condition

To provide reasonable opportunity for privacy for dwellings.

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).

Reason for condition

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

ENG sw4

The new storm water connection must be constructed and existing abandoned connections 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; and

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

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 engineering drawings via a 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 Council 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 3a

The access driveway and parking module (parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) must be designed and constructed in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS2890.1:2004 (including the requirement for vehicle safety barriers where required).

Advice:

·          It is advised that designers consider the detailed design of the access and parking module prior to finalising the Finished Floor Level (FFL) of the parking spaces (especially if located within a garage incorporated into the dwelling), as failure to do so may result in difficulty complying with this condition.

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access and parking module, and compliance with the relevant Australian Standard.

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 first occupation.

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

Any damage to council infrastructure resulting from the implementation of this permit, must, at the discretion of the Council:

1.         Be met by the owner by way of reimbursement (cost of repair and reinstatement to be paid by the owner to the Council); or

2.         Be repaired and reinstated by the owner to the satisfaction of 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.

ENG 13

The fence and gate at the vehicular access to the subject property from Queen Street must allow adequate sight distance between user vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.

Amended drawings must be submitted and approved, prior to the commencement of work. The amended drawing must demonstrate how the fence either side of the driveway/s provides for adequate sight distance between user vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians by one of the following methods:

1.         Compliance with Australian/NZ Standard, Parking facilities Part 1: Off­ street car parking AS/NZS 2890.1: 2004 Fig 3.3;

2.         Increasing the gate width of the driveway(s) to 5m;

3.         Increasing the transparency of fencing for at least 1m on each side of driveway/s so that those sections of fencing are largely transparent; or

4.         Setting driveway(s) gates back 1m from front fence line to achieve increased sight lines.

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

Advice:

·          The applicant may submit amended drawings to satisfy this condition as either part of a Building Application, or alternatively via Council's planning condition endorsement process (noting there is a fee associated with condition endorsement approval of engineering drawings [see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement and for fees and charges]).

·          Failure to address condition requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of vehicles entering and leaving the development and of pedestrians and traffic in the vicinity.

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.
