What this document is
The Minutes of the 36th Meeting of the Monitoring Committee, held by the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority at 11.30 A.M on 30.11.2009, are a record of decisions taken on regularisation related cases.

Who it affects
The minutes matter mainly to:
- owners and applicants of the properties listed in the agenda items
- buyers and professionals checking whether a listed building was treated as completed before 28.02.1999
- anyone verifying whether the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority accepted the use, extent or evidence for a building
What the committee decided
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority Monitoring Committee recorded leave of absence for several members, confirmed the previous meeting minutes, and noted action taken on the 35th meeting minutes.
For property cases, the committee mostly decided whether the evidence was credible. In several cases, it accepted completion before 28.02.1999, including:
- a residential building at New Door No.5, Old Door No.3, 2nd Street, Nandanam Extension, Chennai-35, with gift deeds and a Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority inspection report accepted as evidence, but with no credible evidence for the 3rd floor part, and with a note that the building has to be put into residential use
- a residential building with 8 dwelling units at Door No.37, New Door No.19, Cenotaph Road, 1st Lane, Mylapore Village, based on a property tax assessment notice and inspection report
- a building at Door No.51, Srinivasa Perumal Sannadhi 2nd Street, Royapettah, accepted as GF+FF for commercial use and 2nd floor part for residential use, based on a demolition notice and inspection report
- a residential building at Door No.100, 4th Street, Abhiramapuram, based on a property tax assessment notice and inspection report
- a commercial building at Door No.117 and 118, Pycrofts Road, Triplicane, based on a demolition notice
- a commercial building at Door No.52, Dr. B.N. Road, T. Nagar, based on a Government Housing and Urban Development Department appeal rejection order, demolition notices and reinspection report
- a commercial building at Door No.12/28, Cathedral Garden Road, Nungambakkam, with the rear side ramp accepted because it fulfilled a Tamil Nadu Fire and Rescue Services alternative fire safety measure suggestion
- a commercial cum residential building at Door No.18/4, Muttukadu Road, Thiruvanmiyur, where the committee also recorded that the site did not attract CRZ-II category provisions and did not attract Aquifer Recharge Area guidelines
- an industrial building at Door No.41 to 49, South Mada Street, Villivakkam
- an institutional building at Door No.201, Lattice Bridge Road, Thiruvanmiyur
Important rejection
One case was not accepted:
- the residential building at Door No.44, Maharaja Surya Road, Alwarpet, because the committee found a wide difference between the floor wise area in the Chennai Corporation certificate and the regularisation plan, and did not accept the evidence as credible for completion prior to 28.02.1999

Common questions
Does this document approve every building listed in it?
No. The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority Monitoring Committee accepted evidence in many cases, but it did not accept the evidence for the building at Door No.44, Maharaja Surya Road, Alwarpet.
What kind of proof did the committee treat as credible evidence?
The minutes show that the committee accepted documents such as gift deeds, property tax assessment notices, demolition notices, a Government Housing and Urban Development Department appeal rejection order, a refusal letter, a caution notice and inspection reports.
If my property is one of the listed buildings, what is the main point to check?
You should check whether the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority Monitoring Committee accepted that the building had been completed before 28.02.1999, and whether it placed any limits on use or extent. For example, one Nandanam Extension case was accepted only with no credible evidence for the 3rd floor part, and with a note that the building has to be put into residential use.
Does the document say anything about coastal or aquifer restrictions?
Yes, for the property at Door No.18/4, Muttukadu Road, Thiruvanmiyur. The minutes record that the site lies more than 500 mtrs. away from H.T.L., does not attract CRZ-II category provisions, and lies within Chennai City limit so it does not attract Aquifer Recharge Area guidelines.
