MINUTES OF THE 22nd MEETING OF THE MONITORING COMMITTEE HELD ON 14.09.2007 @ 3.00 P.M. IN THE CONFERENCE HALL OF CMDA
The Monitoring Committee of CMDA issued these minutes for its twenty-second meeting held on 14 September 2007. The minutes record regularisation decisions affecting ten identified commercial or mixed-use buildings, conditions imposed on those buildings, a completion certificate recommendation, and other monitoring matters.
What the minutes cover
The Monitoring Committee of CMDA considered evidence showing whether ten identified commercial or mixed-use multi-storeyed buildings had been completed before 28 February 1999. It resolved that the buildings could be regularised, wholly or partly as specified, subject to common and property-specific conditions.
General regularisation conditions
The Monitoring Committee imposed the following conditions on the commercial multi-storeyed buildings:
- Alternative fire safety measures must meet the norms of the Director of Fire and Rescue Services.
- CMDA officials must inspect each building before a regularisation fee demand is raised.
- The regularisation fee must be collected at the Regularisation, 1999 scheme rate.
- No additional construction may be made beyond what was already reported.
Buildings considered
The Monitoring Committee accepted completion evidence for buildings at:
- 57, Jawaharlal Nehru Salai, Vadapalani.
- 35, Nungambakkam High Road, Nungambakkam.
- 56 and 57, Rajaji Salai, V.O.C. Nagar.
- 34, now 61, Thiyagraya Road, T. Nagar.
- 416/1, Thiruvottiyur High Road, Tondiarpet.
- 346, Pantheon Road, Egmore.
- 774, Thiruvottiyur High Road, Thiruvottiyur.
- Plot 4086, Door T-94, 3rd Avenue, Anna Nagar.
- 32, Halls Road, Egmore.
- 90, Luz Church Road, Mylapore.
For 774, Thiruvottiyur High Road, only the ground floor and three upper floors were supported for regularisation. The applicant was required to demolish the part of the fourth floor constructed after the cut-off date. At the Anna Nagar property, only the main building was regularisable, not the unauthorised structures in setback spaces. The Mylapore property required a revised plan based on the inspection report.
Other decisions
The Monitoring Committee deferred the special commercial building cases under Agenda Item 22.5. It directed that reports on responsibility for allowing unauthorised construction be obtained early.
For the residential-cum-office building at 116, now 46, Nelson Manickam Road, Aminjikarai, the Monitoring Committee recommended condoning the rear setback deviation caused by a 6 square metre temple so that a completion certificate could be issued. It also proposed later consideration of places of worship up to 10 square metres in setback areas where parking and driveway requirements are not affected.

Common questions
Does this record automatically regularise every building listed?
No. The Monitoring Committee resolved to regularise the buildings subject to fire safety measures, CMDA inspection, payment of the applicable regularisation fee, and no further construction. Some properties also have specific restrictions.
Was the entire building at 774, Thiruvottiyur High Road accepted for regularisation?
No. Only the ground floor and three upper floors were supported for regularisation. The applicant was required to demolish the part of the fourth floor built after 28 February 1999.
Were the unauthorised setback structures at the Anna Nagar property accepted?
No. Only the main building at Plot 4086, Door T-94, 3rd Avenue, Anna Nagar, was considered regularisable. The other unauthorised structures in the setback spaces could not be regularised because of a dispute over dimensions.
What was decided about the small temple at Nelson Manickam Road?
The Monitoring Committee recommended condoning the rear setback deviation caused by the 6 square metre temple for issuing a completion certificate. The available space to the main building was recorded as sufficient for driveway and snorkel movement.
