1. This proposal seems excessive for the surrounding environment, casting significant shadow drastically impacting the privacy of the neighboring properties.

   This property should not be developed any higher than the surrounding commercial properties which are 2 stories high.

   There has been a strong rejuvenation of the properties along Pine St and the surrounding streets, and residents have invested significant money into that process. Approval of this type of inappropriate development only serves to devalue the investment they have made in the local area. Council should always prioritise the investment of residents (life long investments) who live in the in the area ahead of facilitating the profits of development companies which often do little more than devalue the investment of residents.

   This local area is already experiences heavily traffic and the addition of vehicles and parking for this development will also be problematic given the local school, and narrow nature of Pine St.

   I also note that there have been no properties notified of this development? Surely this needs to be rectified before any consideration of this development can proceed.

2. This application should not be approved.
   The Development is too high for its location on a zone boundary with a lower density residential zone (east).
   It should adhere to PLEP2011 for:
   - maximum Height: Storey ratio of 12m: 3 storeys.
   - building separation.
   The non-compliance is not minor and has a huge impact on neighbouring properties to the east in regards to overshadowing and building separation. Regardless of possible up-zoning of these properties, overshadowing will still be a major issue.
   It is also unfair to expect the property to the east to compensate for the significant shortfall of building separation required to build a similar development.
   As for street access and traffic, accessing the public car park in Pine Street which will provide access to basement parking is already a nightmare, increasing the volume of traffic accessing this area will compound the problem.

   Being part of a Neighbourhood centre zone, which supposedly is the hub of the East Rydalmere precinct, why hasn't the local community, in particular surrounding properties been notified?
