The capital’s general mayor, Nikushor Dan, on Sunday blamed a “legislative gap” in how expropriation is carried out, stressing that currently the amount for which the green zone is purchased does not take into account the area of ​​the plot suitable for development. Thus, the value of the 12 hectares selected in the IOR Park could reach 80 million euros.

According to Mayor Nikusor Dan, in case of expropriation in the IOR park, the cost of the 12 hectares of retrocession could reach 80 million euros, given that, compared to prices in the area, approximately 700-800 euros will be paid per square meter.

At the same time, Nikushor Dan accused the mayor of Sector 3, Robert Negoitz, of “condescending” to the owner of the land taken from the IOR park.

• “There, the mayor is in cahoots with the owner. In the lawsuit that raised the question of whether the retrocession was illegal, they didn’t provide any evidence that there was a park there, although the most obvious evidence would be that it was six or seven years ago .. (…) But it also happened five or six months ago. In a lawsuit in which the city Hall of Sector 3 fined a small 100-200 lei because the tree was cut down, the owner filed an appeal. The Mayor of District 3 did not defend himself. The court said there is no park there. And the mayor of district 3 didn’t even appeal. And now, in a lawsuit, we have a fine of 35 million euros, the owner comes and says, “Look what the court said! That it’s not a park. So that the fine of 100 lei was cancelled, let’s also cancel the fine of 35 million euros,” said Nikushor Dan, reports Agerpres.

Legislative loopholes in how expropriation is carried out

The mayor said there was a “practical problem” at the level of notaries, adding that the amount of expropriation should be proportional to the area of ​​land that can be developed.

For example, he drew attention to the fact that, according to the urban planning regulations, the value of the land use factor (LLC) for a plot of land for development is 2, and for green areas – 0.2. Thus, 20,000 square meters of built-up area can be built on 10,000 square meters that have built-up land status, while much less can be built on a green zone: a built-up area of ​​2,000 square meters (e.g., restaurant, sports field). Nikusor Dan believed that the amount for which the land is bought should take this into account.

• “When you want to expropriate, the law refers to the grid of notaries, and the grid of notaries refers to certain rates practiced by notaries, but it does not refer to the use you can give to the land. (…) It is this It is logical that the amount to be alienated should be proportional to the built-up area on which it is possible to build, and not to how much, arbitrarily, the notaries say there should be a tax that they collect from this land” , – explained Genmer.

Nikushor Dan emphasized that in the case of expropriation, according to the law, the price of buying green spaces is not 10% of the value of the land for development in the area, but 60%. Edil General estimated that this calculation method is “absolutely unreasonable”, which is why the expropriation method does not work.

Regarding the 35 million euro fine imposed by the local police on the owner of the retroceded area in the IOR park, he said that the first appearance will take place in March-April.

“This is a closed case. In this case, the fined person, Ms. Kokoru, filed a complaint. The local police responded to the complaint. February 5 is the administrative deadline, tomorrow. This is not public participation. It is very likely that in March-April, this will be the first appearance “, said Genmer.
