The battle over the building at 3 Ruth Street in Carmelia refuses to die down

(haipo) - The developer Sharon Dorferberger and the Haifa municipality were referred to mediation, but it seems that the solution is still far away


Disappointment with the mediation process between the municipality and the developer Sharon Dorferberger, regarding the use of the building on Ruth Street 3 in the Carmelia neighborhood. According to Dorferberger's attorney, the municipality reached mediation in bad faith and had no intention of using the meeting to reach a solution regarding the use of the building.

In recent days, the Haifa Municipality and the contractor Sharon Dorferberger were directed by the court to a mediation process, and this after the court accepted Dorferberger's request for a restraining order against the municipality, and scheduled a hearing for the month of September. In 2017, the parties signed a lease agreement for the land on which the company's offices were established for a period of 5 years, and an agreement was reached between the parties that if the municipality does not need the land for sale or construction purposes, it will not demand it.

Last week, as mentioned, the parties were referred to mediation, but to the surprise of the mediator, Adv. Amir Ziman, and despite his many attempts to start the mediation process, according to Adv. The municipality is not at all interested in mediation and there is no chance that it will cooperate with it.

A mediation procedure is, as we know, intended to make it easier for the court and to reduce the heavy load placed before it. Cases in which there is a likelihood of finding a solution without a lengthy legal process are referred to mediation.

Attorney Evan, who represents Dorferberger, told Lahi Fe that the use of the building at 3 Ruth Street as the company's offices has been lawful for several years, according to a permission agreement with the municipality, on the eve of the previous elections: "Dorferberger uses vacant land, pays rent, develops the area , and in fact it is a public green lung, one of the few in the neighborhood, and all at Dorferberger's expense."

"In addition," said Adv. Evan, "the company pays property tax rates at a high rate and, as mentioned, monthly rent. We believe that due to extraneous considerations, the municipality acts as if it were a private company that is not subject to public order."

Dorferbarger stated in response that they are not quarrelsome people: "We will continue to invest in additional projects for the well-being of the residents and the development of the city."

The municipality's response to the article will be attached when received.

  1. I am surprised that the municipality has not yet sold the lot to the contractor. Why did they sell to others even if they didn't?
    50,000 NIS and we closed?
    Good ?
    The contractor will take care of himself later on increasing the construction rights. He will be able to learn from the landscape contractor who does this himself on the lot he purchased from the municipality on Harofeh Street...

  2. Since the road from Carmelia to Ramat Goral has to leave from there, it is in the interest of the residents of Carmelia that the municipality give the contractor the land as a gift. That way the road will not be paved.

  3. This cheeky dorfberger continues to take over public land?
    This is how Yahav distributed public resources to his associates.
    The municipality should declare that this area is for fire trucks and an escape route and remove it. There are enough empty office buildings in Haifa to rent.

  4. "An agreement was reached between the parties that if the municipality does not need the land for sale or construction purposes, it will not demand it" "An agreement was reached between the parties that if the municipality does not need the land for sale or construction purposes, it will not demand it"

    Who is the dumbest here?
    The public body that committed to a private person in the blink of an eye?
    A private man who lives in a movie where he and the municipality are childhood friends?
    Or a group of lawyers who waste the public's resources on a promise that has no practical hold on the law?
    What exactly is the strategy here, "but your honor, the municipality doesn't really need the land but is just making a principle?"

    Like what is this crazy story?

  5. The land must be sold to him for pennies. So they did with others. After that, the building rights must be significantly increased. See Derech Hayam, Harofeh Street, Nitzanim and much more.

  6. Why not sell the land to the contractor and after he has bought and paid significantly increase his building rights?

  7. Keep going, don't let go, the lease is over, you have to vacate the land, what's the question
    The municipality does not have to give an explanation of what is being done on the land.

  8. It's been 5 years of renting. He must vacate the building. If not in mediation, then in a judgment. What is the argument about?

  9. Instead of favoring and encouraging contractors like Dorfberger, the municipality placed obstacles due to foreign considerations and that is why the city of Haifa is in such a poor condition. No contractor wants to build in Haifa and the young people flee to the center.

  10. The power of the Fritz stands up to him, I hope the judge will prevent the municipality from taking over the place in a hostile manner
