The initiation by the City Council of Lorca expropriation process at the request of the residents, a property that prevented completion of the rebuilding process has helped the rapprochement of positions between the parties, which makes it unnecessary to enforcement.
Councilmember Management after Earthquake Lorca, Saturnino Martinez, has reported that "the beginning by the Consistory, at the request of residents of the building Viña II, on June 19, the process of expropriation of property to citizens who prevented completion of the rebuilding of this construction approach has allowed the parties have finally reached an agreement. "
For this reason, the full City Council today approved Lorca complete this procedure if agreed between the interested parties to a friendly takeover.
Thus only had to apply this law to the reconstruction of a building located on Avenida Santa Clara after replacement which was passed to enable his works iniciasen 4 families.
Just the Viña II building, demolished by the damage caused by earthquakes, has now completed its reconstruction and has first occupied cell, so your neighbors can and return to live in their new homes.
Taking advantage of the rebuilding, so the neighbors tell with new and improved services, has managed to give this reconstruction of improvements over the original building, built in 1975, with two floors of garages, elevator, solar panels and other infrastructure not previously present.
The neighbors had the opportunity to design your choice distributing their new homes, including the distribution of the different rooms, finished flooring, interior carpentry, light points, wall color, kitchen cabinets ...
This is a sign that the "Law of Mandatory replacement" for the reconstruction of buildings toppled by the damage caused by earthquakes in our city, has had a deterrent effect, so that has allowed unlock the rebuilding of at least 68 properties.
Satur Martinez explained that "these are different cases where the homeowners of certain buildings not reach an agreement, and the possibility of reaching an agreement that would solve the issue was not possible due mainly to the entrenchment occurrence of blocking minorities. As citizens have come to know that the application of the Act was a dynamic process and that his execution was a reality, blocking minorities have been dissolving. In most cases, these people have conveyed their share on the ground, or from third parties or to the community of owners.
This procedure is always launched at the request of residents.
Once formalized the application period for submissions to the part that could be expropriated, which lasts around 15 working days set.
Once this, we proceed to the full City Council to raise the proposal.
After that a new period for claims it has the same duration as above, and, in the end, brought to term expropriation opens.
