Assignment 2: Stage 1 Submission (´･ω･`)

1.Site Analysis: #5 Wyagrine Street, Balmoral, Mosman

Project: Two storey House, with a semi detached studio

Site: #5 Wyagrine Street, Balmoral, Mosman

Client: Sally Nguyen (Piranesi inspired house)

Notes:

• Dimensions of the house as follows:

o   15.24m, 49.075m, 15.91m, 44.505m

• Two existing two storey brick rendered houses are on either side of the house

•  Behind the house is an adjacent home which bounds the back of the house in line with neighbouring houses 
• There is a shared stone wall lined with the footpath at the front of the house

•  A recreational area, Edwards Beach, Hunter’s Bay is to the east of the site, a few km away
•  Sea breezes blow from the beach area, from the east across the site
• Sun rises from the east of the site, i.e. from the street facing side of the building, so trees at the front of the building block intense sunlight hitting the house
•  It is situated in a R2 zone, a medium density suburban neighbourhood and design of the house should not exceed 2/ 3 storeys, as amenities of neighbouring homes could be compromised i.e. views, privacy
• There is the possibility of salt attack on the building due to close proximity with surf waters (Marine environment, within 10km of body of water) i.e. Hunter’s bay to the east

2. Planning Controls

Planning controls

Site analysis:

•  It is lined up against a common wall, and bounded by two sites on either side
•  It has a single street frontage, Wyargine Street
• It is a close distance to a recreational level, Edwards beach and Hunters bay- salt attack from a marine surf environment is possible
• It is mostly a medium density residential location that the site is situated in, so houses will be very small, ie. only 8.5m high, with a max wall height of 7.2m, with a possible acceptance of attic space if the council allows it

Site dimensions 49.075 m x 15.24m

• The max building height is only allowed to be 8.5m high, (in the R2 medium density housing it is currently situated in
•  max wall height will be 7.2m, max two storeys,
•  an attic could also be allowed if the council deems it allowable in existing and new buildings
• pitched roofs can also extend past the building height set out in the LEP, if it is an important character to the building
• Max floor space ratio is 0.5:1
• Low density Residential Zone R2, near a beach, near a public recreation zone RE1
• Lined against Wyargine Street
• Minimum Side setbacks for a house with two storeys- 1.5m, 900m for the first floor
• Minimum side boundaries:
• Low density residential area R2
• Landscaping percentage 42.39515%, 
• Site area= 747.903m^2

Subdivision points:

• Will have to subdivide the site with a shared street frontage, sits in between two other building sites, as well as behind the building there is another site for another building to be placed behind it, ie shared back boundary 

Setbacks

•  Should be at equal widths and have similar distance away from the street
• Single storey setback =900mm, double storey, setback= 1.5m

Landscaping

• No voids under the house is allowed
• Attics are as advised

Fences:

• Side and rear fences no more than 1.8m high
• Sidewalk fences are 1.2m high only
• Depending on the type of house, there are certain types of fences permitted: For Piranesi, it will be of a late Victorian type house, so Cast iron palisades will be used
