Administrative Court Hearing on January 15, 2008

This could be the last hearing before the final decision from the Rayong Administrative Court. The hearing is to discuses the surveyor’s report by Bangkok Department of Civil Engineering and City Planning

The question concerning the court is the questionable claims by Pattaya City Hall, VT7 and Bangkok Department of Civil Engineering and City Planning claims you measure 100 meters into the sea from the construction control line and measure 100 meter onto the land from the construction control line?

Ministerial Regulation Issue 9 (B. E. 2521) that sets Construction standards. This regulation has an explanation below which tell you how the apply the regulation called:

“No 3 to fix the 200 meters measured from the construction control line according to the annexed map to the Royal Decree Promulgating the Building Construction Control Act B.E. 2479 in the regions of Tambol Bang Lamung, Tambol Nhong Plalai, Tambol Na Khua and Tambol Nhong Prue of Amphur Bang Lamung of Chonburi Province B.E. 2521 at the sea shore in which the following constructions shall not be built:
Building of 14 meters higher than road level.

What are the facts in Ministerial Regulation Issue 9 (B. E. 2521)

1) to fix the 200 meters measured
2) from the construction control line
3) at the sea shore
4) following constructions shall not be built (Building of 14 meters higher than road level)
5) according to the annexed map.

From the construction control line at the sea shore is shown to be at MSL on the Issue9 which all parties agree you stare to measure.

What are the Difference between Issue 8 and Issue 9:

Issue 8 “to fix the 100 meters measured from the construction control line according to the annexed map at the sea shore that building of the following types are not permitted for construction”

Issue 9 “to fix the 200 meters measured from the construction control line according to the annexed map at the sea shore that building of the following types are not permitted for construction”

We think the facts are clear for the judge to make his final decision.
