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.

 

Aldermen 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.

 

1.   Alderman Burnet - item 7.2.1 and item 7.2.6.

 

 

 

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.

Vehicular barriers compliant with the Australian Standard AS1170.1 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:

·           Council do 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.

 


Reason for condition

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

ENG 2b

 

A certified vehicle barrier design (including site plan with proposed location(s) of installation), prepared by a suitably qualified Engineer, compliant with Australian Standard AS1170.1, must be submitted to Council prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016, or the commencement of works on site.

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

Reason for condition

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

ENG 2c

Prior to the first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first), vehicular barriers must be inspected by a qualified engineer and certification submitted to Council confirming that the installed vehicular barriers comply with the certified design and Australian Standard AS1170.1. 

Advice: Once the certification has been accepted, Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement)

Reason for condition

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

 

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 council stormwater system prior to the first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first). 

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 is seven (7), constituting:

·           Two (2) visitor car parking spaces (P1 and P2 on Design East Drawing 5233 Sheet 15/17 Rev B), and

 

·           Five (5) residence car parking spaces (P3-P7 on Design East Drawing 5233 Sheet 15/17 Rev B)


Prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first):

·         All new / modified parking spaces must be delineated by means of white or yellow lines 80mm to 100mm wide, or white or yellow pavement markers in accordance with Australian Standards AS/NZS 2890.1 2004. Car parking spaces P3-P6 must be line marked as 5.4m long x 2.65m wide.

 

·         Turning Bay next to car parking space P3 must be outlined with unbroken lines 80 to 100 mm wide on all sides and marked with diagonal stripes 150 to 200 mm wide with spaces 200 to 300 mm between stripes.

·         Turning Bay next to car parking space P3 must include pavement messaging indicating TURNING BAY in accordance with AS1742.11 Section 7.3, or equivalent Council approved alternative.

 

 

 

 

 

Advice: 

·         Car parking spaces P3-P6 are required to be 5.4m long x 2.65m wide to allow approval of a 5.6m wide aisle (narrower than the 5.8m requirement of AS2890.1 Fig 2.2 for User Class 1A). Typically User Class 1A parking spaces are required to be 2.4m wide, but the additional width of 2.65m allows for a narrower aisle to be approved.

Reason for condition

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

 

 

 

 

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.  Any damage must be immediately reported to 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 10

The proposed new access driveway design must provide a 1m x 1m pedestrian sight triangle between user vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians on either side of the access driveway.

Reason for condition

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

ENV 2

Sediment and erosion control measures, sufficient to prevent sediment leaving the site and in accordance with an approved soil and water management plan (SWMP), must be installed prior to the commencement of work and maintained until such time as all disturbed areas have been stabilised and/or restored or sealed to the Council’s satisfaction.


A SWMP must be submitted prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016 or the commencement of work, whichever occurs first. The SWMP must be prepared in accordance with the Soil and Water Management on Building and Construction Sites fact sheets (Derwent Estuary Program, 2008), available 
here

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

Advice: Once the SWMP has been approved, the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).

Where building approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation for condition endorsement be submitted well before submitting documentation for building approval. Failure to address condition endorsement requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.


Reason for Condition

To avoid the pollution and sedimentation of roads, drains and natural watercourses that could be caused by erosion and runoff from the development.

HER 18

The trees identified as Tree 1, Tree 2 and Tree 3 in the report by Jerry Romanski of Tree Inclined dated 20 February 2018 must be protected throughout excavation, during construction and post construction.

The proposed driveway is to be constructed above ground and supported by piers in order to protect the copse of trees identified as Tree 1.  The minimum distance  between the driveway and the south-western boundary is to be 1.8 metres, to avoid the removal of large stems.  Amended drawings showing the proposed construction must be submitted for approval prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.   

Temporary irrigation is to be provided to Tree 2 and the copse of trees identified as Tree 1 to encourage rapid modification of existing root architecture.  Details of the proposed irrigation technique are to be submitted for approval prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.    


The footings of Unit B long the south-eastern wall are to be 'pier and beam' to minimise impact upon roots of Tree 3.  Amended drawings showing the proposed construction must be submitted for approval prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.  

The removal of scaffold branches and the pruning of mid and upper crown branches is to be undertaken before any building works, by a qualified arborist (minimum AQF level 3), using the techniques outlined in AS 4373-2007 Pruning of amenity trees.

Permanent supplementary irrigation is to be provided within the remnant garden space below the crown of Tree 3.  Details of the proposed irrigation technique are to be submitted for approval prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.    

In the event that excavation for pier footings uncovers large tree roots (greater than 50mm diameter), damage to the roots within the structural root zone must be avoided.  Where damage cannot be avoided outside the structural root zone, large roots must be cleanly cut with a hand saw, rather than torn by excavators.  The excavation for footings along the south-eastern wall of unit B and its deck is to be undertaken manually and supervised by a qualified arborist.

A project arborist is to be engaged to provide on-site advice about minimisation of potential for physical damage to below and above ground tree parts, as well as limiting potential soil compaction and contamination within the tree's root zones.  A report of the arborist, outlining the progress of works and measures taken, is to be submitted for approval prior to first occupation.

Reason for condition

To ensure that the identified trees are not unnecessarily harmed and are managed in a way that maintains their health and appearance, and to ensure that development at a heritage place and precinct is undertaken in a sympathetic manner which does not cause loss of historic cultural heritage significance.

ADVICE

Reason for condition 

ENG sw6

All stormwater from the proposed development (including hardstand runoff) must be discharged to the Council’s stormwater infrastructure via gravity prior to first occupation.  Any private or private shared stormwater system passing through third-party land must have sufficient receiving capacity.  All costs associated with works required by this condition are to be met by the owner.

Reason for condition

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

ENG 2a

 

Vehicular barriers compliant with the Australian Standard AS1170.1 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:

·           Council do 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.


Reason for condition

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

 

ENG 2b

 

A certified vehicle barrier design (including site plan with proposed location(s) of installation), prepared by a suitably qualified Engineer, compliant with Australian Standard AS1170.1, must be submitted to Council prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016, or the commencement of works on site. All works, required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with certified design. 

Advice:

·           Once the certification has been accepted, Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).

 

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

Reason for condition

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

ENG 2c

Prior to the first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first), vehicular barriers must be inspected by a qualified engineer and certification submitted to Council confirming that the installed vehicular barriers comply with the certified design and Australian Standard AS1170.1. 

Advice: Once the certification has been accepted, Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement)

Reason for condition

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

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 council stormwater system prior to the first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first). 

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 is seven (7), constituting:

·           Two (2) visitor car parking spaces (P1 and P2 on Design East Drawing 5233 Sheet 15/17 Rev B), and

 

·           Five (5) residence car parking spaces (P3-P7 on Design East Drawing 5233 Sheet 15/17 Rev B)


Prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first):

·         All new / modified parking spaces must be delineated by means of white or yellow lines 80mm to 100mm wide, or white or yellow pavement markers in accordance with Australian Standards AS/NZS 2890.1 2004. Car parking spaces P3-P6 must be line marked as 5.4m long x 2.65m wide.

 

·         Turning Bay next to car parking space P3 must be outlined with unbroken lines 80 to 100 mm wide on all sides and marked with diagonal stripes 150 to 200 mm wide with spaces 200 to 300 mm between stripes. The stripes shall be at an angle of 45 +/- 10 degrees to the side of the space, and

 

·         Turning Bay next to car parking space P3 must include pavement messaging indicating TURNING BAY in accordance with AS1742.11 Section 7.3, or equivalent Council approved alternative.

 

Advice: 

·         Car parking spaces P3-P6 are required to be 5.4m long x 2.65m wide to allow approval of a 5.6m wide aisle (narrower than the 5.8m requirement of AS2890.1 Fig 2.2 for User Class 1A). Typically User Class 1A parking spaces are required to be 2.4m wide, but the additional width of 2.65m allows for a narrower aisle to be approved.

 

·         It is advised that Council City Infrastructure Traffic Unit have indicated that onstreet residential parking permits will not be available for this site.

 

 

Reason for condition 

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

ENG 11

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.  Any damage must be immediately reported to 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 10

The proposed new access driveway design must provide a 1m x 1m pedestrian sight triangle between user vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians on either side of the access driveway.

Reason for condition

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

ENV 2

Sediment and erosion control measures, sufficient to prevent sediment leaving the site and in accordance with an approved soil and water management plan (SWMP), must be installed prior to the commencement of work and maintained until such time as all disturbed areas have been stabilised and/or restored or sealed to the Council’s satisfaction.

A SWMP must be submitted prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016 or the commencement of work, whichever occurs first. The SWMP must be prepared in accordance with the Soil and Water Management on Building and Construction Sites fact sheets (Derwent Estuary Program, 2008), available 
here

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


Advice: Once the SWMP has been approved, the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).

Where building approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation for condition endorsement be submitted well before submitting documentation for building approval. Failure to address condition endorsement requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.


Reason for Condition

To avoid the pollution and sedimentation of roads, drains and natural watercourses that could be caused by erosion and runoff from the development.

HER 18

The trees identified as Tree 1, Tree 2 and Tree 3 in the report by Jerry Romanski of Tree Inclined dated 20 February 2018 must be protected throughout excavation, during construction and post construction.

The proposed driveway is to be constructed above ground and supported by piers in order to protect the copse of trees identified as Tree 1.  The minimum distance  between the driveway and the south-western boundary is to be 1.8 metres, to avoid the removal of large stems.  Amended drawings showing the proposed construction must be submitted for approval prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.   

Temporary irrigation is to be provided to Tree 2 and the  copse of trees identified as Tree 1 to encourage rapid modification of existing root architecture.  Details of the proposed irrigation technique are to be submitted for approval prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.    

The footings of Unit B long the south-eastern wall are to be 'pier and beam' to minimise impact upon roots of Tree 3.  Amended drawings showing the proposed construction must be submitted for approval prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.  

The removal of scaffold branches and the pruning of mid and upper crown branches is to be undertaken before any building works, by a qualified arborist (minimum AQF level 3), using the techniques outlined in AS 4373-2007 Pruning of amenity trees.

 


Permanent supplementary irrigation is to be provided within the remnant garden space below the crown of Tree 3.  Details of the proposed irrigation technique are to be submitted for approval prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.    

In the event that excavation for pier footings uncovers large tree roots (greater than 50mm diameter), damage to the roots within the structural root zone must be avoided.  Where damage cannot be avoided outside the structural root zone, large roots must be cleanly cut with a hand saw, rather than torn by excavators.  The excavation for footings along the south-eastern wall of unit B and its deck is to be undertaken manually and supervised by a qualified arborist.

A project arborist is to be engaged to provide on-site advice about minimisation of potential for physical damage to below and above ground tree parts, as well as limiting potential soil compaction and contamination within the tree's root zones.  A report of the arborist, outlining the progress of works and measures taken, is to be submitted for approval prior to first occupation.

Reason for condition

To ensure that the identified trees are not unnecessarily harmed and are managed in a way that maintains their health and appearance, and to ensure that development at a heritage place and precinct is undertaken in a sympathetic manner which does not cause loss of historic cultural heritage significance.

That:   Pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for subdivision (boundary adjustment) and Multiple Dwellings at 35 Derwentwater Avenue, Sandy Bay  the following reasons:

 

1.     The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 10.4.2 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015  because the development will not have a setback from a frontage that is compatible with the existing dwellings in the street, taking into account any topographical constraints.

 

2.     The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 10.4.2 A3 or P3 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015  because the siting and scale of the proposed dwellings causes an unreasonable loss of amenity by:

 

 

(i)      visual impacts caused by the apparent scale, bulk or proportions of the dwellings when viewed from an adjoining lot; and

 

(ii)     separation between dwellings on adjoining lots that is compatible with that prevailing in the surrounding area is not provided. 

 

3.     The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E6.6.1 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015  because the number of on-site car parking spaces is not sufficient to meet the reasonable needs of users, having regard to:

(e)     the availability and suitability of alternative arrangements for car parking provision.

 

4.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E6.7.2 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015  because the design of the vehicle access point will not be safe, efficient and convenient, due to:

(a)     not avoiding conflicts between users including vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians;

 

(b)     not avoiding unreasonable interference with the flow of traffic on adjoining roads;

 

(c)     its unsuitability for the type and volume of traffic likely to be generated by the use or development;

4.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E6.7.2 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015  because the design of the vehicle access point will not be safe, efficient and convenient, due to:

(a)     not avoiding conflicts between users including vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians;

(c)     its unsuitability for the type and volume of traffic likely to be generated by the use or development;

5.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E6.7.3 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because vehicular passing areas are not provided in sufficient number, dimension and siting so that the access is safe, efficient and convenient.

 

6.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E6.7.5 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the layout of car parking spaces, access aisles, circulation roadways and ramps are not safe and do not ensure ease of access, egress and manoeuvring on-site.
