STATEMENT & QUESTION
By Mr Jacob John:-
|
|
|
“Dear
Lord Mayor, Deputy Lord Mayor and Councillors,
On behalf of the residents of
Adderton Road and Charles Street I would like to express our sincere thanks
to the Lord Mayor and Council Officers for spending time to listen to our
concerns about the development a of residential flat building at 173 Adderton
Road during the onsite meeting. We really appreciate your comments and
support during the meeting and would kindly request your ongoing involvement
in this matter.
The development site at 173 Adderton Road is a narrow isolated block with a frontage of 17.8 metres among
established houses and recently built townhouses. This site was rezoned to R4
in DCP 2011 and it is the last R4 block in the western side of Adderton Road . The applicant purchased the property at a cheap price in April 2011 when it
was zoned as R2 and is now taking advantage of the rezoning to R4 by
proposing a RFB development, even though the site does not meet many of the
DCP 2011 requirements. There is no obvious storm water solution for this
site, which was one of the reasons the property was sold cheap after being in
the market for many years.
Street Character: The proposed RFB will be totally
inconsistent with the future character of the area among established houses
and townhouses. All surrounding R4 properties have been developed in the last
five years with town houses, if the RFB is approved this will be the only
residential flat building on western side of Adderton Road, a permanent
eye-sore for years to come. We request the council to ensure any development
at this site to integrate well with the current as well as future topography
and streetscape.
Minimum Frontage: The applicant is seeking 70% variation on the
frontage requirement of 40 metres for RFB in DCP for R4 properties in
Carlingford precinct. We are aware of other developers who have bought
isolated properties rezoned to R4 on eastern side of Adderton Road,
waiting for the outcome of this DA to claim non-compliance precedence. We
request the council not to accept such request for significant variation
which will be contrary to the objectives of the DCP 2011.
Overshadowing: The proposed 3 storey RFB over basement car
park causes significant shadowing impact on neighbouring properties. It is quite
clear 171 Adderton Road will not receive the minimum solar access
requirements for adjoining properties specified in Part 3 of DCP 2011. We
request the council to assert this matter in the highest vigor since this
impacts day-to-day life.
Privacy: The balconies directly overlook the
habitable areas and private space of neighbouring properties with 175 and
175A Adderton Road being the most impacted. In addition the RFB completely
blocks city views currently being availed from the top decking of 171 Adderton Road. Since balconies seem a mandatory requirement for RFB, we request the
council to consider less intrusive alternative development options (e.g.
townhouses) for this site.
Stormwater
Management: The land between Adderton Road and Charles Stree t nestles on a hill with the proposed long and narrow development site
having the highest point at the front and a steep fall to what was originally
a creek at the back. There is significant water run-off even today with 8 Charles Street facing frequent “flooding” events during heavy downpour. This has been
exacerbated by the totally inadequate stormwater solution deployed in 8 Charles Street by the same developer who is proposing this DA. In the stormwater sketch
submitted for this DA, water is shown to be pumped uphill (against all laws
of gravity) through 8 and 10 Charles Street to the K.I.P in Charles Street. The owners of Unit 7/8 have already informed the council through their
submission that they will not consent to the easement being routed through their
property. It is quite obvious the applicant is trying to avoid channelling
the stormwater down the rear side of Adderton Road towards south following
the natural fall of the land, most likely to save cost. We strongly request
the council to give proper consideration for the impact of stormwater on the
neighbouring low lying properties. We also request the council to enforce
properly designed stormwater plans to be certified pre-approval, not as a
consent condition after approval.
We strongly believe the
proposed RFB development is totally inappropriate for the site as it severely
impacts on the immediate amenity of adjoining properties. We urge the council
to reject the application for development of residential flats, and instead
to facilitate the development of townhouses conforming to all DCP
requirements, which should have overwhelming neighbourhood support.
QUESTION: What actions have the council taken on the request from
the owners of Unit 7/8 Charles Street to investigate the frequent
failure of stormwater management system in 8 Charles Street during
the onsite meeting and also in their submission dated June 21st?".

RESPONSE
By Ms Sue Weatherley – Group Manager Outcomes &
Development:-
”I inspected the land at the rear and the properties in Charles Street and will ensure that assessment of this application properly consider the
cumulative impacts of drainage.
It is also noted that the Lord Mayor gave advice to the
residents at the site meeting regarding insurances.
A Service Request has been
lodged with the relevant department and Council is in the process of
investigating this matter. The service request number is 63888.”

SUBJECT A
New Planning System for NSW Green Paper
REFERENCE F2007/02152
FROM Mr Bruce Berry
|
|
|
“I compliment Council on its submissions to
the Issues Paper and Green Paper for the Planning System Review. The Green
Paper submission is on tonight's agenda.
I support
the recommendations such as :
¨
More rigorous public involvement in decision making;
¨
More flexibility to accommodate good ideas;
¨
Provision of reasons for decisions;
¨
Repealing of existing SEPPs;
¨
Greater regulation and responsibility of accredited certifiers;
¨
Rejection of incomplete, inadequate documentation;
¨
Broader levels of notification to neighbours;
¨
Setting of conditions that cannot be contested by the L & E
Court.
I am
opposed to the authority for determination of DAs being delegated to Staff.
It seems to be contrary to the recommendation that there should be more
public involvement in decision making, ie, through their elected Councillors.
The only advantage seems to be that it may de-politicise decision making.
There
should be every opportunity to challenge assessment reports and decisions,
especially with those DAs under delegated authority, which is 96% of all DAs.
We have had
several cases where Councillors have had to reject or change assessment
decisions to protect the public interest.
Until most
recently, assessment reports have been making recommendations on DA
determination before the holding of site meetings.
The
Councillors do not seem to be concerned about the transfer of their
responsibilities to Staff.
I hope to
see evidence that Council will be following up on its recommendations to the
Planning Review.
I would
welcome a response.”
