Amendment sought to increase height for lift overrun

An application has been made to amend approval of a four-unit multi-dwelling development at 117 The Esplanade, Ettalong.

The main amendment requested is to "increase the height of the lift overrun, which will be 510mm above the 8.5 height limit."

Other amendments are to increase the width of the sundeck at the rear of Unit 4, amend and remove privacy screens to Unit 4, and to remove the requirement to provide visitor parking.

It also requests deletion of the condition requiring the planting of a street tree.

The request was produced for the owner by Mr Tony Tuxworth of CoastPlan Consulting.

"The increase in the height is 510mm above the height limit of 8.5 metres.

"This part of the building is small in the context of the size of the building, is not visibly intrusive as it is not visible at all from the street or beach and will not result in any overshadowing of the adjoining site, or loss of view from any adjoining property.

"The height of the lift overrun has been minimised and cannot be lowered any further due to safety requirements of the lift manufacturer to allow for servicing of the lift.

"The lift overrun is positioned forward of the carpark exhaust duct which obscures the view of the duct."

In relation to visitor parking, the letter states it is unnecessary as unrestricted on-street parking is safely available within 60 metres of the development.

The application argues against the street tree due to the harsh beachfront environment and lack of growing space which makes such an endeavour impractical.

DA2017/2021/A is currently on public exhibition and open for written submissions until June 16.
