Ref:    Open CPC 7.1.1, 29/06/2020

Application Expiry Date: 15 July 2020

 

That pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council approve the application for partial demolition, alterations, extension, landscaping (including tree removal), and car parking at 14 Stoke Street, New Town as the proposal meets the requirements of the Scheme, specifically clauses E13.7.1 P1 and E13.8.1 P1(b) of the Historic Heritage Code, in relation to the proposed demolition 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 PLN–20–186 – 14 STOKE STREET NEW TOWN TAS 7008 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 2020/00377HCC dated 1 April 2020 as attached to the permit.

Reason for condition

To clarify the scope of the permit.

THC

The use and/or development must comply with the requirements of the Tasmanian Heritage Council as detailed in the Notice of Heritage Decision, THC Works Ref: 6216 dated 27 May 2020, as attached to the permit.

Reason for condition

To clarify the scope of the permit.

ENG 2a

Prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first), vehicular barriers compliant with the Australian Standard AS/NZS1170.1:2002 must be installed to prevent vehicles running off the edge of an access driveway or parking module (parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) where the drop from the edge of the trafficable area to a lower level is 600mm or greater, and wheel stops (kerb) must be installed for drops between 150mm and 600mm. Barriers must not limit the width of the driveway access or parking and turning areas approved under the permit.

Advice:

The Council does not consider a slope greater than 1 in 4 to constitute a lower level as described in AS/NZS 2890.1:2004 Section 2.4.5.3. Slopes greater than 1 in 4 will require a vehicular barrier or wheel stop.

Designers are advised to consult the National Construction Code 2016 to determine if pedestrian handrails or safety barriers compliant with the NCC2016 are also required in the parking module this area may be considered as a path of access to a building.

 

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access driveway and parking module and compliance with the standard.

ENG 3a

The access driveway, ramps and parking module (parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) must be designed and constructed in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2890.1:2004 (including the requirement for vehicle safety barriers where required), or a Council approved alternate design certified by a suitably qualified engineer to provide a safe and efficient access, and enable safe, easy and efficient use.

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 / 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 5

The number of car parking spaces approved on the site, for use is two (2).

Reason for condition

To ensure the provision of parking for the use is safe and efficient.

ENG 11

Prior to the first occupation / commencement of the use, the proposed crossover within the Stoke Street highway reservation must be designed and constructed in general accordance with:

1. LGAT Standard Drawing Urban TSDR09v1 – Urban Roads Driveways and TSD R14v1 Type KC vehicular crossing

2. LGAT Standard Drawing Footpath Urban Roads Footpaths TSDR11v1

3. Or a Council City Infrastructure Division approved alternate design.

Advice:

Note that the existing crossover installed at this location has NOT been approved, and may require modification. Please contact Council City Infrastructure Division to discuss approval of alternate designs. Based on a site specific assessment, Council City Infrastructure Division Road Engineer may permit extending nonapproved concrete slab crossover, and where nonstandard kerb and channel exists a concrete plinth to Council standards may be permitted for construction at the gutter.

Local Government Association (LGAT) Tasmanian Standard Drawings (TSD) can be viewed electronically via the LGAT Website.

It is advised that designers consider the detailed design of the crossover, 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.

Please note that your proposal does not include adjustment of footpath levels. Any adjustment to footpath levels necessary to suit the design of proposed floor, parking module or driveway levels will require separate agreement from Council's Road Services Engineer and may require further planning approvals. It is advised to place a note to this affect on construction drawings for the site and/or other relevant engineering drawings to ensure that contractors are made aware of this requirement.

You are likely to require a Permit to Open Up and Temporarily Occupy a Highway (for work within the highway reservation). Click here for more information.

Reason for condition

In the interests of vehicle user safety and the amenity of the development.

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, pre-existing 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 site related service connections affected by the proposal will be altered and/or reinstated at the owner’s full cost.

ENG s1

All stormwater from the proposed development (including roofed areas, ag drains, retaining wall ag drains and impervious surfaces driveways etc) must be discharged to the Council’s stormwater infrastructure with sufficient receiving capacity prior to first occupation / commencement of use.

Design drawings and calculations of the proposed private stormwater drainage and connection (including pumped system) to the Council's stormwater infrastructure must be submitted and approved prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016. The design drawings and calculations must:

1. Be prepared by a suitably qualified person;

2. Meet the requirements of Australian Standard AS3500 (including pumped system) or a Council approved alternative;

3. Include long section(s)/levels and grades to the point of discharge; and

4. Include gravity discharge (via dispersion pit) to Council's public infrastructure.

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

Advice:

Under section 23 of the Urban Drainage Act 2013 it is an offence for a property owner to direct stormwater from a private stormwater system so that it causes or is likely to cause a nuisance to a neighbouring property or its residents.

The applicant is advised to submit detailed design drawings and calculations as part of their Plumbing Permit Application. 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 obtain a plumbing permit for the works.

Reason for condition

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

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:

11.      Solar Panels - Notice of Motion

            File Ref: F20/58951; 13-1-9/10

Ref:    Open CIC 6.3, 24/06/2020

 

It is recommended that:

1.      As a large energy user, the Council continue to create energy, cost and greenhouse gas reductions by pursuing new technologies and opportunities.

Recent changes in the energy sector create tremendous scope for the Council to undertake exciting projects in:

(i)      Smart grids;

(ii)     Peer-to-peer trading;

(iii)    Solar and battery micro grid projects;

(iv)    Other renewable and storage projects;

(v)     Electric vehicles;

(vi)    Street lighting; and

(vii)   Smart-city monitoring.

 

These projects offer the Council significant scope to achieve far shorter financial payback (in the range of 3 to 5 years), as well as impressive environmental benefits.

2.      Solar panels continue to play a role in the City’s energy strategy. They should be used more strategically, together with other technologies, to improve their payback periods. For example, a solar/battery micro-grid would allow the Council to avoid not only energy costs but network and demand charges (which can account for more than half of the energy bill) when used for a high power site such as an electric vehicle charging station.

Thomas                                                 That the recommendation be adopted.
