told in an interview to “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” Chairman of the Union of gardeners of Russia, member of the Committee on natural resources, property and land relations of the state Duma Oleg Valenchuk.
“you just Have to come to your site and start working on its improvement. This, I tell you, so addictive, that soon, despite the hard work, the man no longer thinks himself separate from the cottages and wonder how you ever lived without it. Such “new” gardeners, as a rule, repay the debts on contributions, actively participate in the life of the CHT, thereby providing themselves and other members of the partnership more comfortable,” explains the Deputy.
by law, abandoned land can be removed. But in practice this rarely happens.
“If the land is not processed within three years, it is a misuse of the earth and implies fines for individuals of 50 thousand rubles, or 1.5% of the cadastral value of the object if it is installed.
Before an abandoned plot tries to withdraw, the infringer necessarily will be informed that his land is not used for the intended purpose. Refer to the owners may, Chairman of the Association, inspector, land control, the municipality, they may file a claim in court about withdrawal. Municipalities are reluctant to this because they have to be the third person in court, and the trial lasts from a half to three years. So the abandoned sites often remain abandoned.
Horticultural society has no right to sell distributed plots or to lease them, even if the owner of the land for many years did not appear in the partnership”, – says Oleg Valenchuk.
According to him, today in gardening associations 10-15% of abandoned land in some SNT up to half of the sites are abandoned.
Interview with Oleg Valenchuk read in tomorrow’s number “the Russian newspaper”.
