AND FURTHER

NB at tebded m e t i n g w i th Mr Simpson & SSC Development Manager 18/10/2013

l e t t e r lodged as document w i th Counci l lor Simpson

f u r t h e r p o i n t s accepted r e l a t i n g to s i z e i e : all

blocks i n F a u n a PLACE B E I N G O F S I M I L A R S I Z E AND o w n e r s WOULD NEED TO CONSOLIDATE

i n order to s e l l as a development opportunity.

Noted t h a t s ince the SSC developed Fauna Place i n 1967, wi th a l l blocks of about

equal s i z e , no one had y e t b u i l t a 3 s t o r y residence? as pe rmi t ted by council.

The question has to be asked "Why would a res ident then bother extend to

5 s torys?" as The proposed r a t i o s do nothing f o r e i t h e r development

oppor tun i t ies o r adding values to any s a l e price.

SSC dev manager p o i n t e d out t h a t a 25m * 2 . to 1 deveopment would have

f u r t h e r development ob l iga t ions imposed as a r e s u l t o f both park ing &

s a f e t y he igh t concerns, a l l cost ing any p o t e n t i a l developer

(Why not r e s t r i c t park ing Fauna Place to res idents only?)
