The Rēzekne municipality council takes a decision on forced demolition of an arbitrarily built building

On October 30, 2019, the Rēzekne municipality council decided on the forced demolition of the arbitrarily built building in Rezekne municipality, the Lake of Gaidulu. Forced demolition will be carried out by the municipality of Rezekne and the costs incurred in the demolition process will be borne by the owner, who carried out arbitrary construction. This is the first type of precedent in the Rēzekne municipality.
At the end of 2013, the Rēzekne Regional Environmental Board of the State Environmental Service had detected a arbitrary construction in Rezekne municipality, Ozolaines parish, the Gaidu lake protection zone – construction of a log-building building at approximately 4 metres from the shore line of the lake, a fence built along the lake, a trench built.
In July 2014, the Rēzekne municipality of Rēzekne found that the building type building, the fox, the courtesy and the entire area are enclosed. The owner was asked to stop construction work, but after a re-examination of the object in November 2014, it was found that the instructions for immediate termination of construction work had not been complied with. The construction process was continued - the construction of a reinforced concrete support wall (48.8 m in length) was carried out from the previous structure of the structure, the construction work of the local government road 7609, the construction work of the sleeping building and the ground placement works from the lake.
On 11 November 2014, the Construction Board adopted a decision imposing a duty on the owner to disrupt the arbitrary structures until 1 May 2015. The decision was not enforced within the time limit, so the Construction Board decided in December 2015 to warn the addressee of the compulsory enforcement of the administrative act as from 25 January 2016. Also in this period, the decision was not enforced. Therefore, the addressee is subject to a compulsory enforcement measure – forced money. 15 executive orders were issued between April 2016 and December 2018. The penalty imposed did not encourage the addressee to comply with the decision of 11 November 2014. Therefore, in February 2019, the Construction Board decided to change the enforcement measure by warning the addressee at first. A decision on substitution was taken at the end of June 2019. By this decision, the building authority decided that the forced demolition would be carried out by the municipality of Rezekne and the costs incurred in the demolition process were covered by the owner, who carried out arbitrary construction.
The issue of the implementation of the substitution process was discussed at the meeting of the Standing Committee on Economic Development of Rēzekne on 24 October 2019 and the meeting of the Financial Permanent Committee of 30 October 2019.
At the extraordinary meeting of the Rēzekne District Council on 30 October 2019, it was decided to carry out the enforcement of the decision of 11 November 2014 by 14 November 2019.
