ADVISORY MATTERS:
A1 Building or excavations works must not be commenced until a construction certificate has been obtained from Council's Building Certification Services or an Accredited Certifier and either Council's Building Certification Services or an Accredited Certifier has been appointed as the Principal Certifying Authority (PCA) for this development.
Failure to obtain a Construction Certificate and appoint a PCA before commencing works is an offence, which renders the responsible person liable to a maximum penalty of $1.1 million under the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979.
A2 The applicant is advised that the Construction Certificate plans and specification must comply with the provisions of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and the construction certificate must not be inconsistent with the development consent.
In this regard, the development consent plans do not show compliance with the deemed-to-satisfy provisions of the BCA.
Details of compliance with the relevant provisions of the Building Code of Australia and conditions of development consent are to be provided in the plans and specifications for the construction certificate.
You are therefore advised to ensure that the development is not inconsistent with Council's consent and to consult with Council’s Building Certification Services or an accredited certifier prior to submitting your construction certificate application to enable these matters to be addressed accordingly.
MOTION: (Hughes/Matson) that this matter be deferred for mediation between the two parties. LOST.

8.5 DIRECTOR, CITY PLANNING REPORT 96/2006 - 35-37 ST PAULS STREET, RANDWICK. (DA/43/2006 XR PROP05088)
310 RESOLUTION: (Notley-Smith/Procopiadis) that:
A. Council as the responsible authority refuse development consent under Section 80 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (as amended) to Development Application No. D/43/2006 for demolition of the existing building, retaining two shop-front facades to St Paul Street, and construction of a part-3, part-4 storey mixed use development designed as 2 buildings with central courtyard and containing 2 retail shops, 10 residential dwellings with 4 carparking spaces provided with access off Aeolia Lane, and strata subdivision at 35-37 St Pauls Street, Randwick, for the following reasons:-
1. The proposed development does not comply with Clause 32 of the Randwick Local Environmental Plan 1998 which prescribes the maximum floor space ratio standard,
and the SEPP No.1 Objection submitted in relation to this standard is not well founded as the proposed development will have an excessive bulk and scale that detracts from heritage significance of The Spot Heritage Conservation Area and, specifically, the visual quality and architectural integrity of the adjoining group of buildings comprising Nos. 29-33 St Pauls Street, having regard to the existing nature of the rear elevations of these adjoining properties; and will generate a significant off-street car parking requirement that will not be fully provided for within the proposed development thus placing pressure upon the existing limited availability of on-street and public carparking in The Spot.
2. The proposed development does not comply with Clause 33 of the Randwick Local Environmental Plan 1998 which prescribes the maximum building height standard, and the SEPP No.1 Objection submitted in relation to this standard is not well founded as the proposed development will have an excessive height, bulk and scale that detracts from the heritage significance of The Spot Heritage Conservation Area and, specifically, the visual quality and architectural integrity of the adjoining group of buildings comprising Nos. 29-33 St Pauls Street, having regard to the existing nature of the rear elevations of these adjoining properties.
3. The proposed development does not meet the carparking requirements for multi-unit housing contained in Clause 2.3 – Requirements for Various Land Uses of the DCP – Parking, in that the proposed development will have a numerical deficiency of 13 carspaces which is unacceptable and unreasonable in the context of the critical shortage of on-street/public carparking in The Spot.
4. The proposed height, bulk, scale and form of the proposed development is unsuitable for the subject site in that it constitutes an over development of the subject site and detracts from the heritage significance and character of existing development in The Spot Heritage Conservation Area, specifically, the visual quality and architectural integrity of the adjoining group of buildings comprising Nos. 29-33 St Pauls Street, having regard to the existing nature of the rear elevations of these adjoining properties.
5. The Heritage Impact Statement prepared by Urbanistes Pty Limited and submitted with the development application is deficient as it fails to provide an adequate heritage impact assessment that assesses the proposed development and its impact on the heritage significance of the relevant affected heritage item and its setting, and the heritage conservation area as required under Clause 43 and 46 of the Randwick LEP 1998. In this regard, the Heritage Impact Statement fails to provide adequate assessment of the impact of the excessive height, bulk and scale of the building on Aeolia Lane and the visual quality and architectural integrity of the adjoining group of buildings comprising Nos. 29-33 St Pauls Street, specifically the rear elevations of these adjoining properties to the west; has not addressed the fundamental Questions to be Answered in the case of Major partial demolition of heritage items as listed in the Statements of Heritage Impact publication published by the NSW Heritage Office and the Department of Urban Affairs and Planning; and is not a final, complete and comprehensive assessment of the heritage impact of the proposed development as required under Clauses 43 and 46 of the Randwick LEP.
6. The site is unsuitable for the proposed development because it is inadequate in size to contain the proposed development which has an FSR and building height that is excessive relative to the size of the subject site and the nature of adjoining development in the Spot Heritage Conservation Area.
7. The documentation submitted with the application is deficient of information and details relating to a thorough and comprehensive site analysis that assesses a range of internal and external site factors that affects the design and siting of development on the subject site, and that demonstrates the development opportunities and constraints that have been instrumental in shaping the design of the proposed development. In this regard, the site analysis must give due and proper acknowledgement of the constraints posed by a relatively small development site such as the subject site.
8. The documentation submitted with the application is deficient of information and details relating to the ingress/egress arrangements in Aeolia Lane to indicate that vehicular or pedestrian access and safety along this laneway is not compromised and to achieve satisfactory sight-lines along the laneway.
9. The documentation submitted with the application is deficient of information and details relating to the proposed glazed opening in the western elevation of the proposed development which are necessary to ensure no loss of privacy to the adjoining western properties.
10. No details have been provided with respect to the potential for contamination on the site to enable an adequate assessment of the proposal under SEPP55- Remediation of Land.
11. No details have been provided with respect to compliance with the BASIX – Building Sustainability Index in relation to the multi-unit residential component of the proposed development.
12. The proposed development is not in the public interest because it will result in a excessively high, bulky and intrusive development that will detract from the visual character and heritage significance of the Spot Heritage Conservation Area, and will create a development significantly lacking in carparking that will exacerbate the existing critical shortage of on-street and public carparking in The Spot.
MOTION: (Kenny/Bastic) that Council as the responsible authority grant development consent under Section 80 and 80A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (as amended) to Development Application No. D/43/2006 for demolition of the existing building, retaining two shop-front facades to St Paul Street, and construction of a part-3, part-4 storey mixed use development designed as 2 buildings with central courtyard and containing 2 retail shops, 10 residential dwellings with 4 carparking spaces provided with access off Aeolia Lane, and strata subdivision at 35-37 St Pauls Street, Randwick, subject to standard conditions. LOST.
MOTION: (Notley-Smith/Procopiadis) CARRIED – SEE RESOLUTION.
