NPOSSIBLE CAR PARK ENTRY

+ Off to the Back of the Site- large Drop When entering garage.- Would require tight turns and steep decent if going under-ground.- Entrance would visible from first floor flats.

- would complicate positioning of bottom level- Intrusion of corner & Façade- +2.7m above Beach St- Parking lines may block traffic

+ Off to the Side of the Site + Level with the Street + Allows garage to go under-ground quickly+ Easy to build over car park descent- On Façade of Building

Main flow of traffic is from Arcada st travel-ling East.

Beach st is the only way to head West into the city... Legally

No Through Road, and has parking on the Eastern Side.

POSSIBLE BEDROOM LOCATION

Bedrooms don’t particularly need a view, so the South wall would be appropriate, or in the middle of the site, as if the building was rectangular, the roof would shel-ter the bedrooms, unable to be seen.

PRIVACY & SUN CONTROL ISSUES

Two storey apartments, roughly 10m above the highest point of the site, and looking directly down onto the site. This is the least private wall of the building, it is also exposed to the harshest sun, so sun control will also gain privacy.

North East Apartments, three storey’s high, although not directly facing the site, yet still able to see the site.

Opposite apartments have direct view to site, 2 ½ - 3 story apart-ment.

The Heritage building to the West, with the entrance behind the site, is 2 storey’s high, and has 8 windows on the Eastern Façade, so is not private.Neighboring

apartments to the south only have small frosted windows, eg: toilets, so privacy is a small issue.
