1. To whom it may concern,

   I would like to comment on the following:

   1) As the owner of 149 Francis Street, I am concerned that our building is shown incorrectly in sections and elevations. The proposal shows our highest point adjacent to 145 Francis, however it is actually sloping towards 145 Francis Street; the highest point being adjacent to 151 Francis Street. This shows the bulk incorrectly and therefore shows our building having a larger impact than it does.

   2) The upper bedroom on the Francis Street Elevation has a corner window which looks directly onto the pool in our yard. Due to the nature of my children and their friends using the pool, I would like to request privacy louvres or screens for this issue.

   3) Our extension is currently in construction phase. Our upper floor bedroom on the Francis Street Elevation has been designed to overlook the roofs to 145 and 143 Francis Street and therefore to alleviate any issues with views or privacy to neighbouring properties. We are concerned that the roof proposed at 145 Francis, at its highest point, is currently in line with eyesight level when standing in the corner of the room. We feel this loss of amenity is a waste of our efforts during construction and design to retain this; we are requesting the roof proposed in the application to 145 Francis to drop by 200mm. This will still enable a high and amenable ceiling height to 145 Francis Street whilst maintaining the amenity created at 149 Francis Street.
