Kamýk: The councilors rejected the apartment building project, the developer filed a lawsuit
The Council of Prague 12 rejected the building in a resolution in August. The Deputy Mayor of Prague 12, Eva Tylová (BEZPP / Pirates with the support of the Greens), announced at that time that the proposed building was oversized in comparison with the surrounding buildings, there is a risk of a loss of parking spaces for local residents at the site of the proposed project will lack civic amenities.
According to the Deputy Mayor of Prague 12 Petr Šula (TOP 09), the building is not in accordance with the stabilized area. At the end of September, the City Council of Prague 12 also confirmed the dissenting position of the town hall on the project called Two Towers, when it supported the citizens’ petition against the construction.
False accusations, says the developer
Trigema rejects the councilors’ arguments. “The city district of Prague 12 is still spreading false information about us, falsely accusing us of illegal actions, and thus we do not have to submit a project for professional assessment to the building authority. That is why on Sunday, October 3, we sent a sharp one to the Municipal Court in Prague a lawsuit against the City District of Prague 12 addressed to the councilor of Prague 12, who actively voted against the project The Kamýk apartment building, “said Martínková.
The filing of the lawsuit was preceded by a pre-litigation appeal, which Trigema sent to the management of Prague 12 on 17 September. Deputy Mayor Šula subsequently in a press release He stated that the town hall will negotiate with the developer on further modifications to the project. According to Martinková, however, no one from the management of Prague 12 City Hall has contacted Trigem yet.
The company wants to pay damages
According to its spokespersons, Trigema is now demanding the annulment of the council’s negative resolution to the Kamýk Apartment House, apology and damages in the amount of the interest service costs per week which elapsed between the first negotiating boards after the pre-litigation summons was sent and the action was brought. Martínková carefully, that should the entire project be thwarted in need, Trigema will also claim damages that correspond to the total cost of the project. Trigema now estimates about 160 million crowns here.
Trigema bought the building of the original low-rise shopping center in 2018 with the aim of demolishing it and building two modern apartment buildings with a commercial parterre in its place. The towers were originally supposed to have 18 and 14 above-ground floors. However, the proposal did not receive the necessary permits from the authorities, so it underwent changes. The planned buildings are now to have nine and 15 floors, in which there should be apartments for about 300 inhabitants. Three-storey underground garages are designed for them.
