by staff for further review and consideration:
• ensuring that the proposed development is compatible with, and sensitive
to, existing surrounding development;
• ensuring that the proposed lotting size and resulting house sizes are
compatible and comparable to surrounding lots;
• given the surrounding residential area is predominantly zoned 'R4' which
requires a minimum lot frontage of 15.0 metres, the need to establish a
similar zoning for new lots to ensure the character of the area is maintained;
