3 Ruth Street in Carmelia is at the center of a high-profile conflict. On the one hand, the residents of Carmelia are calling on the municipality to vacate the offices of the contractor Sharon Dorferberger and to use the land for the benefit of the residents, and on the other hand, Dorferberger, who claims that he has been in the place for 5 years thanks to an agreement he has with the municipality, which he fulfills precisely. Now he wants to extend the contract for another 5 years.
release the structure
In recent weeks, the conduct of the Carmelia neighborhood committee, which circulated a petition in the neighborhood WhatsApp groups and on Facebook, made headlines. In the petition, the committee calls for the release of the lot where the office of the construction company Sh. Dorfberger Ltd. In 2017, an agreement was signed between the S. Dorfberger company and the Haifa municipality allowing the company to establish its offices at 3 Ruth Street.
According to the residents, the contract is not balanced and was signed in exchange for the construction of 19 parking lots. Now the representatives of the neighborhood committee are demanding the office be vacated. They intend to submit an arrangement proposal to the city council to designate the area for the establishment of a youth club.
political situation
According to Dorfberger, this is a political situation, while trying to make political capital at his expense. Dorfberger, who has maintained a prolonged silence and has so far not responded to the publications, said that they do not know the details at all and did not even bother to review the agreement signed with the Haifa municipality: "They circulated a petition with a title as if it were about the liberation of Jerusalem from the Jordanians... What are we talking about here?! The office is here Here by right and by virtue of an agreement with the Haifa municipality - everything was duly signed after supervision and inspection of the material by the legal department of the Haifa municipality and the property division, unlike the incorrect descriptions of the leaders of the petition as if we received the lot for 19 parking spaces. I tell you that the company pays monthly rent in an orderly manner and in addition to that, property tax at a high rate. This is land that has been neglected for decades and was used for campfires for "LG BaOmer".
"The building belongs to me, it cannot become a community center"
"It is a modest office that sits on a tenth of the plot of land reminiscent of a small house in the prairie surrounded by olive trees and bushes that the company planted at its own expense in order to create a green and pleasant corner for the environment. It is important to understand that the residents of the houses next to the office did not object to our presence here. I suggest that the initiators of the petition check themselves and find out that they mislead the residents of the neighborhood with data that is not connected to reality.
How do you want to raise a proposal for an order in the city council to establish a youth center in the office when it does not belong to the Haifa municipality at all but to a company! What good will come to the residents of the neighborhood from turning the green corner into a desolate and naked land? Here is the place to clarify that at this stage there is no plan to use the lot or build on it. As soon as a building permit is received, I promise to vacate the place and even contribute to the well-being of the residents by constructing a building for a youth club or for any other use they choose to make of it."

Meanwhile, the municipality rejected the request of Dorferberger's office to extend the period of use of the area, according to the contractor, as mentioned, it is an attempt to make political capital on his back. The company went to court and filed a request for a restraining order against the Haifa municipality.

It seems that the affair is still in progress and that neither side intends to give up easily. We live here and will update you on developments.
Carmelia - hundreds more families without any facilities and with a tiny and expensive supermarket that is unable to serve the growing population.
A neighborhood with a congested exit to Moriah in the morning 20 minutes in the direction of Horev and Freud on which all the residents of Shambor Margalit are also loaded.
The neighborhood is being serially abused by greedy contractors without any proportional construction. 30 projects at once when they promised to stop the flow.
There is no renewal of infrastructure. Ugly electricity poles are not replaced with street lamps. Sidewalks are not renovated after the destruction of the contractors. No playgrounds are added. They do not add a descent from Vicho Street to the beach road.
A neighborhood that suffers from the neglect of the municipality compared to greedy contractors who add hundreds of apartments and population without a response.
It is required to establish a large supermarket in the Shambor-Carmelia neighborhoods of 10,000 residents. Keller's is too small. Carmelia's is tiny.
Basic things like a bank branch, a large supermarket - there are none in a settlement of 20 residents (Shambor, Carmelia Azoza).
The municipality is closed to the demands of the residents.
The Haifa municipality hurts all contractors.
Who would want to build in Haifa??????
In Tel Aviv you see only cranes and construction in Haifa you see only desolation, destroyed roads and wild boars.
Klish is slowly taking care of all the slaughters. It is also interesting which gifts the contractors received at the expense of the public in Nazid Adsim.
Carmelia grew by 250 apartments and 600 children were added to the neighborhood almost at once.
The number of playgrounds has not increased.
The number of sports facilities did not increase.
We demand that a garden with swings and additional fitness facilities be prepared instead for Absalom.
and establish a Katargal lot in the open area on Vicho Street in the neighborhood.
Children have nowhere to play - lack of playgrounds in all the neighborhoods of the ridge.
How dare one star….how dare he? For God's sake….how? Fact..dare….
Throw him and his botka off the field, that's the end of the combine
This man is the symbol of corruption and evil. Does what he wants and uses his connections in the municipality, and I speak as one who knows him and his exploits.
There is another such example on Tabenkin Street
A contractor's trailer on Tabenkin Street became a yeshiva, it was taken over by ultra-Orthodox associations and now they want to approve a huge yeshiva there instead of a synagogue.
Wake up, why is there no coverage of this affair
Yet
and although
and though
despite of this…
Where can I get a plot like this in Haifa...?
What permit is this?
In 2017 the mayor was Yona Yahav.
Received land for a container for the construction period of Tama38 in a nearby building. It is not clear what suddenly requires another five years. Caused damage as wedges to wadi under buildings.
Fahnat Hamad - the place was intended for a public building or an access road to Harum Luadi. Blocking the road and placing a building that has been converted from a container to offices and that is not what it was intended for.
It should be removed from public land and if you want to rent it, hold a tender for anyone who wants to rent it
The man has the audacity to empty the container and return public land to which he has no rights. Everything that was done during the Yahav period is crooked, full of perplexities and causes damage to the city. Here is another example of this.
He will not help anyone
It's just a shame he doesn't realize how much damage he's causing to his reputation as a contractor
No one but no one will buy from him and no one will integrate him into projects
Maybe you could clarify which building permit it is:
"As soon as a building permit is received, I promise to vacate the place"
Ehrlich only one eats... That's the norm
The Dorfberger company received the area in a rather strange way and as a result of its TMA 38 project which was in the adjacent lot, at 5 Ruth Street.
It happened during the time of the mayor Yona Yahav who was doing everything and "taking care" of his close associates... the son of the rest who was then his deputy and also sat as a member of the city's planning and construction committee, and yes, he also happens to be the father-in-law (father of his wife) of Sharon Dorfberger.
The project ended several years ago and Dorfberger needs to vacate. It is completely not the role of the municipality to assign areas to contractors to establish work offices or sales offices!
Money money and money. In the end you will all be buried in the ground without the money.
