What the minutes cover
The Minutes of the 34th Meeting of the Monitoring Committee at CMDA record decisions on individual applications concerning unauthorised or deviated construction. The cases include residential, commercial, industrial, cottage industry and multi-storeyed buildings in Chennai, Tambaram, Manapakkam and other listed locations.
The Monitoring Committee mainly considered whether construction had been completed before 28 February 1999. It relied on records such as property tax assessments, electricity payment records, refusal letters, demolition notices, government correspondence and CMDA inspection reports.
Properties covered by decisions
The Monitoring Committee accepted pre-cutoff completion evidence for buildings at the following locations:
- Door Nos. 97 and 98, Habibullah Road, T. Nagar.
- Door No. 108, Dr. Radhakrishnan Salai, Mylapore.
- Survey Nos. 115/2 and 116/2, Manapakkam Village.
- Door No. 80, 5th Street, Sri Padmanaba Nagar, Adyar.
- Door No. 63, Solaiyappan Street, Mylapore.

- Door No. 35, Maharaja Surya Road, Alwarpet.
- Door No. 12, Ramasamy Street, West Tambaram.
- Door Nos. 36/1 and 37, South Usman Road, T. Nagar.
The South Usman Road finding was subject to there being no change in the total built-up area. The West Tambaram applicant was required to remove the third-floor watchman room and toilet because they were constructed after 28 February 1999.
Conditions for regularisation
The Monitoring Committee required the listed special buildings to be inspected by CMDA officials before a regularisation fee demand was raised. The fee was to be collected at the Regularisation 1999 Scheme rate, and no additional construction beyond what had already been reported was allowed.
For the listed commercial multi-storeyed buildings, alternative fire safety measures also had to be provided according to the norms identified in the minutes as DF&RS norms.
Who should check the minutes
Owners, buyers and professionals dealing with any listed property should check whether the recorded conditions were completed. The minutes also record that the regularisation case for the commercial and residential multi-storeyed building at Door No. 3 part and 4, Moores Road, Nungambakkam, was deferred rather than approved.
