The Monitoring Committee of CMDA issued the Minutes of the 24th Meeting held on 12 October 2007, recording decisions on applications to regularise specified commercial multi-storeyed and special buildings. The Monitoring Committee accepted evidence that several listed buildings had been completed before 28 February 1999, while imposing inspection, fee, fire safety, demolition and other property-specific conditions.
What the minutes cover
The Minutes of the 24th Meeting of the Monitoring Committee of CMDA record decisions on individual regularisation applications for commercial multi-storeyed buildings and commercial special buildings. The main question considered was whether the reported construction had been completed before 28 February 1999.
The Monitoring Committee relied on evidence including regularisation inspection reports, planning permissions, property tax records, service connections, agreements, sale documents and notices issued by public authorities.
General conditions
For the listed commercial multi-storeyed buildings, the Monitoring Committee required:
- Alternative fire safety measures according to the norms of the Director of Fire and Rescue Services.
- Inspection by CMDA officials before a regularisation fee demand is raised.
- Collection of the regularisation fee at the Regularisation 1999 Scheme rate.
- No construction beyond what had already been reported.
For the listed commercial special buildings, CMDA inspection, collection of the applicable Regularisation 1999 Scheme fee and a ban on additional construction were required.
Property-specific requirements
The Minutes of the 24th Meeting of the Monitoring Committee of CMDA include several conditions that directly affect particular properties:
- At Door No.27, G.N. Chetty Road, the unauthorised fifth floor part constructed after 28 February 1999 must be removed.
- At Door No.35, Akbar Sahib Street, balcony projections extending over the road must be removed before regularisation is considered.
- At Door No.8, O.V.M. Street, the third floor part and two-foot-wide sunshade projections over the road must be removed.
- For the restaurant building at Plot No.2/169/A, East Coast Road, Injambakkam, the Open Space Reservation area must be transferred to CMDA by gift deed. A revised plan must also show the 25 metre rear portion falling within CRZ-III, where development is not permitted.
- For Door No.40, Sea Breeze Tower, Rajaji Salai, CMDA must ensure that no additional construction occurred after 28 February 1999.
Decision still requiring clarification
For Door No.186, Purasavakkam High Road, Kilpauk, the Monitoring Committee did not record final acceptance. It called for clarification from TNEB about conflicting service connection dates and confirmation from Chennai Corporation concerning a notice dated 1 December 1998.
