Submission/ Deputation

No.

Name and Address of Presenter

Item No. Referring Comments

1

Ms M Hicks, 126 Matheson Road, Ascot

12.1 Planning Application-10 Multiple Dwellings-Lot 2 (1) Davis Street, Ascot

Ms Hicks gave a submission, and was not in favour of the Officer Recommendation. Reasons for her not supporting the Officer Recommendation are as follows: • This development is far

too large for Lot 2 (1) Davis Street.

• Council will not support any land uses within the ‘Mixed Use’ Zone that have the potential to negatively impact on surrounding properties in terms of noise, emissions, traffic etc.

• This development: will generate nuisances detrimental to the amenity of the district and to the health, welfare and safety of its residents..., which is not in keeping with the intention of the ‘Mixed Use’ Zone.

2 Ms C Nore, 98

Matheson Road, Ascot


Ms Nore gave a submission, and was not in favour of the Officer Recommendation. Reasons for her not supporting the Officer Recommendation are as follows: • It is too big; too dense

and will generate too much traffic.

AGENDA BRIEFING FORUM 19 February 2013 Item 5 Continued

No.



• Occupants will not use public transport.

• Does not comply with

the Liveable Neighbourhood concept.

3 Mr S Haley, 8

Davis Street, Ascot


Mr Haley gave a submission, and was not in favour of the Officer Recommendation. Reasons for his not supporting the Officer Recommendation are as follows: • The height-we don’t

want lights shining over the top of my roof and into my horse stables where horses are meant to be resting at night.

• The proposed car parking-as cars leave at night, their lights will shine up the lane. Between 6 and 8 Davis Street and into the stables at the back of both properties-we had this problem with an illegal ‘airport Car Parking’ business at 1 Davis Street.

• The extra traffic-not just in Davis Street, but up Mathieson Road as well-just puts extra pressure on horses being walked or being loaded on to floats. It also adds danger to their handlers.

• A lot of vehicles will be coming and going well into the night from these dwellings–the extra noise at night will not suit us and then with us

No.



walking and loading horses on floats at 4am in the morning for example, will definitely not suit the occupants at 1 Davis Street.

4 Ms J Ryan, 6

Davis Street, Ascot


Ms Ryan gave a submission, and was not in favour of the Officer Recommendation. Reasons for her not supporting the Officer Recommendation are as follows: • The development is too

big, too dense, pedestrians including those who walk horses and cyclists will be in danger. The occupants of the property will use their cars and not buses which will increase traffic.

5 Mr G Lemos, 125

Mathieson Road, Ascot


Mr Lemos gave a submission, and was not in favour of the Officer Recommendation. Reasons for his not supporting the Officer Recommendation are as follows: • I have recently acquired

this property which is zoned ‘Residential and Stables’ (R10) and have submitted plans to the Council to construct stables. I never dreamt of a 10 multiple dwelling building just 50 or 60 metres up the road. It is a dampener on my project.


6


No.



6 Mr M Dryka, 9 Cleaver Street, West Perth


Mr Dryka gave a submission, and was in favour of the Officer Recommendation. Reasons for his support for the Officer Recommendation are as follows: • The proposed

development is zoned ‘Mixed Use’ under the City’s Local Planning Scheme No 15 and is in accordance with the development provisions of the LPS15 and the Residential Design Codes.

• Reports indicate that the number of traffic movements will only increase marginally, so I do not support the suggestion that there will be a large increase in traffic.

7.27pm As there were no further questions, the Presiding Member closed Public

Submission Time.

Item No. Officer Presentations/Deputation Presentations/Councillor Comment Item 12.1 Continued Notes from the Forum A series of questions were asked and responded to below: • The subject lot is zoned ‘Mixed Use’ under the City’s Local Planning

Scheme No 15 (LPS15) and is in accordance with the development provisions of the LPS15 and the Residential Design Codes.

• The main issues addressed as a result of public advertising included

traffic, aesthetics, building bulk, car parking and location of the proposed crossover.

• The car parking area provides for eight car bays for private use and

three visitor bays. • Calculations for parking bays for multiple dwellings are based on the

size of the dwelling. • An acoustic report has been provided from a qualified Technician

and the development is compliant with the provisions.

• A traffic engineering report has been provided showing that the proposal will generate an increase in traffic to the local roads from 780 to 830 movements per day (ie 50 more movements per day). In comparison, a single dwelling would increase the expected traffic movements from 780 to 792 movements per day (ie 12 more movements per day). In conclusion, the traffic report states that a medium residential development of 10 units would generate an additional 38 movements a day in comparison to a single residential development. The report provided took into consideration all standard engineering criteria of which traffic is determined.

• The total vehicle movements per day for the proposed development

are within both the local road capacity and the Liveable Neighbourhoods traffic limit for low order residential streets.

• It is considered that the increase in traffic caused by future residents

is modest relative to many of the other land uses permitted on the subject site (such as office, showroom, light industry, warehouse, etc).

• The applicant, Mr Dryka was asked if he would consider a two storey

development with fewer units. Mr Dryker replied that the intent was to maximise development potential and therefore this was not considered.


9

Item No. Officer Presentations/Deputation Presentations/Councillor Comment Item 12.1 Continued

• The use and design is not considered contrary to the heritage value

of the Ascot Residential and Stables/zone. The site is listed within the City of Belmont Inventory 2012 and the area has also been entered into the National Trust of Australia (Western Australia) list of Classified Places.

• If Council chose to refuse the application, the applicant is able to

make application for review of the refusal to the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT).

• The City cannot control the number of people who reside in the units. The size of the units will limit large numbers of occupants.

• Notifications could be placed on the titles of the apartments

indicating the proximity to the Stables Precinct.

7.43pm Cr Dornford departed the meeting. 7.59pm Cr Dornford and the Manager Property and Economic

Development entered the meeting.

Further Information to be Provided

• The City’s Planning Department will provide details to Councillors on any similar conditions which may have been applied to the development at the Ascot Inn.

• The closest bus stop is located 70 metres from the subject site. Clarification will be sought by the City’s Planning Department as to whether the correct wording is bus stop or bus route.

• An automatic gate is proposed to be installed to block any additional headlight glare at the proposed site. The City’s Planning Department will investigate the nature of the screening of the gate and report back.

• Concerns were raised regarding the proposed setback and height of

the development not being compatible with the development provisions of the ‘Residential and Stables’ zone. It was also noted that although the average setback requirement for the ‘Residential and Stables’ zone is 7.5 metres there are numerous examples of developments approved within the zone, with a reduced and nil setback. Information regarding the setback conditions for the Quest Development on Great Eastern Highway will be provided.

• The Manager Planning Services to provide information regarding

other land within the Stables Zone that didn’t have direct access to Great Eastern Highway. Information will also be provided details on conditions which may have been applied to the development at the Ascot Inn.

Item No. Officer Presentations/Deputation Presentations/Councillor Comment 12.2 Survey-Strata Subdivision-Lot 30 (47) Alexander Road, Rivervale

Officer Presentation The Senior Planning Officer gave a presentation which included the following: • Location Plan • Extract from Town Planning Scheme Map Showing Zoning of

Subject Site and Surrounding Zonings • Aerial of Subject Site • Proposed Survey Strata Subdivision • Support/Basis for Minor Variation. (Refer to Tabled Attachment 3). Deputation Presentation Nil. 8.13pm The Principal Governance and Compliance Advisor departed the

meeting. Notes from the Forum A series of questions were asked and responded to below:

• The Local Planning Scheme No 15 (LPS15) specifies that the

frontage of the subject property must not be less than 16 metres in order for development to be supported at the R30 density.

• The subject lot has street frontage of 15.99 metres in lieu of the 16

metres required under Clause 5.7.3(a) of LPS15. It is considered appropriate to support the minor variation in this instance; however, a consistent basis needs to be established in order for the City to deal with future applications which propose a lot frontage variation.

• There are a total of 13 properties with a flexible density code that

have a frontage within the range of 15.95 metres and 15.99 metres.

• Every Local Government has its own Town Planning Scheme and requires different minimum street frontage measurements depending on the density ratings and RCodes.

meeting.

12

Item No. Officer Presentations/Deputation Presentations/Councillor Comment Item 12.3 Continued

• There are no bike racks included in the design as it was thought it

would not be a major benefit for the clients as most are driven to and from the facility. If there is a demand in the future for such facilities, installation can be investigated.

• It is planned that HACC will be the main client using the facilities during the day, however the building is designed in such a way that the HACC facilities can be made separate and secure to enable others to utilise after hours.

• The facility will be purpose built to meet all access requirements

including accessible toilets that will include shower facilities. • The rear yard of the building will be developed for the enjoyment of

users and will be fully fenced to provide security for the facility.

Further Information to be Provided • It is possible a community garden could be established on the

balance of the site adjacent to the development in the future. Investigation into providing advanced capabilities for water and waste system to cater for future program will be investigated by the City’s Building Section.

There are options for the resident to chose other tree species if they do not agree with the City’s initial preference.

• As part of the Plan, trees selected are generally complimentary to each other to enhance the streetscape.

14

Item No. Officer Presentations/Deputation Presentations/Councillor Comment Item 12.6 Continued Notes from the Forum A question was asked and responded to below: • The possibility of holding the Annual Electors Meeting earlier in the

year was queried. It was thought that a meeting held before December may encourage more residents to attend. The Director Corporate and Governance advised that an earlier meeting was not considered appropriate due to the following restrictions:

Preparation and meeting timeframes of financial statements

and audit processes and the production of the Annual Report etc
