Developer to be summoned for violation<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The City Council will summon PT Duta Pertiwi, a
\nprivate developer who is building a supermarket and office
\nbuildings on Jl. K.H. Hasyim Ashari, Central Jakarta, for
\nallegedly violating existing regulations.<\/p>\n
Saud Rachman, a member of the City Council's Commission D,
\nwhich oversees development affairs, said that the developer has
\nbuilt an apartment building which is not included in its land use
\npermit.<\/p>\n
"The permit clearly states that the city administration has
\npermitted the developer to use the 80,292-square-meter plot of
\nland only for a supermarket and office buildings. But in reality
\nthe developer also builds apartments," Saud told reporters
\nyesterday.<\/p>\n
Saud said that the deviation was discovered in a meeting
\nbetween the commission members and executives of the developer to
\ndiscuss its obligation to provide social and public facilities
\naround the project site.<\/p>\n
During the meeting, the developer revealed that apartments are
\nbeing constructed as an integral part of the supermarket and
\noffice building complex.<\/p>\n
"This is completely wrong because the permit allows the
\ndeveloper to build only the supermarket and office buildings," he
\nreiterated.<\/p>\n
Therefore the commission will summon the developer in the near
\nfuture to discuss the case.<\/p>\n
Saud also said that gubernatorial decree No. 540\/1990 is often
\nviolated. According to the decree, each developer that builds
\napartments is obliged to provide 20 percent of the total site and
\nbuild low-cost apartments on it.<\/p>\n
"According to PT Duta Pertiwi's land use permit for the
\nconstruction of the supermarket and office buildings, the
\ndeveloper is required to provide locations for small-scale
\ntraders," Saud said.<\/p>\n
Under gubernatorial decree No. 240\/1988 developers of
\ncommercial buildings such as supermarkets or shopping malls are
\nasked to set aside 20 percent of the commercial area for small-
\nscale traders.<\/p>\n
He said that the commission will investigate this matter
\nbecause the city administration needs private developers to
\nparticipate in the building of low-cost apartments in the city.
