NEW REVISED DA POSTED - STILL NONCOMPLIANT AND UGLY

New 2-Storey Scheme posted on Council's Website today. The same noncompliance issues exist as the first scheme including:

1. Still completely blocks lane and removes rear lane 
2.  Still over the 1:1 FSR. 
3. Overall incongruous and blank massing remains as an eyesore and removes sunlight and heritage view amenity to Surrey Street heritage terraces
4. No mention or recognition of heritage issues for Surrey Street terraces in SEE or by heritage consultant 
5. Peaked roof containing over the FSR floor area is incongruous to surrounding buildings 
6.   Improper setbacks for privacy screening 
7.  Low budget “fake sandstone” and coloured materials are incongruous to high quality heritage setting 
8.  Noncompliant skylight in roof at front façade
9. Trash bin issue still unresolved – shown sitting in front of the front entry door inside the living area –we know where this will actually end up – in the street next to Beares Stairs.
10. Incomplete drawings and technical reports as required by the Council DA checklist.
11. Tree, drainage and excavation issues not addressed.
12. Shadow diagrams not prepared by a registered surveyor
13. Inadequate notification for signage, mailers and response time 
14.   Building does not add amenity..it subtracts.

The Laneway, although a private parcel, has commonly been referred to either a Rear Access Lane or ROW (Right of Way). See attached Council document:

Caldwell Lane is the 6th propert shown on this list as ROW

Curious Document: A certain Mark Taylor is a witness to Title Creation of the Dunny Lane. See the Land and Environment Court website for past commissioners. You will see the names Stafford Watts and Mark Taylor on this list. Notice also the STATEMENT OF PURPOSE of the Land and Environmental Court: "the highest standards of competency and personal integrity of its judges, commissioners and support staff." Is that what is happening here??

Justice Cowdroy told the Australian that he did not purchase the Dunny Lane. See the attached document acquired by freedom of information showing him as the "purchaser" in the "Cowdroy Purchase" surveying document.
