Another five-storey development submitted

A development application for a five-storey building near the corner of West and Alfred St, Umina Beach, was submitted to Central Coast Council on February 12.

This was the day after the Council had approved a similar non-complying application for a five-storey development at the Morris St corner with West St, at the other end of the Umina commercial area.

The application prepared by Michael Leavey Consulting for M and G Cunico Family Trust showed the building would be situated on a T-shaped block with frontages to 315 West St, and 1-3 Alfred St.

The proposed building height of 16.3 metres exceeds the council's height limit of 14.25 metres, a variation of 14.3 per cent.

The proposed floor space ratio of 2.13:1 exceeds the council's maximum of 1.8:1, a variation of 18.8 per cent.

The development would have basement carparking for 20 cars, and a total of 18 units made up of two studio apartments, two one-bedroom units, four two-bedroom units and 10 three-bedroom units.

The ground floor would be commercial space.

The proposed mixed use development has been called Cunico's Apartment in the development application on the council website.

Council's DA tracker shows the next step is to notify and advertise.
