(haipo) - In the local committee for planning and construction, it was decided to accept the objection of the chairman of the Green faction, Avihu Han, to the project on Sea Road 188. The plan for the construction of the project was brought back for discussion in the local committee. In the objection, it was determined that until there are alternative facilities for the children of the Ofer school (children with special needs) and the nearby gardens, it will not be possible to move forward with construction and obtain the excavation permits.
The Green faction argued in opposition that there is no possibility to start the construction, when the students of the Ofer school are still studying at the school, next to the construction site. At the local committee meeting, the possibility of transferring the students to the Mazor school in Kiryat Eliezer was discussed. The difficulty is that the school is not ready to receive the students and must undergo renovation.
The project by the sea is planned to include two buildings, each with 13 floors and a total of 105 apartments. The opposition passed with a majority of 7 supporters against 5 opponents.
Chairman of the Greens faction Avihu Han: "Until the children receive an optimal solution, we will not allow the work to begin"
Required A deep and professional solution for the children
Green faction chairman Avihu Han said regarding the decision that a deep and professional solution is needed for the children: "It is important to understand that right now there is a lot of talk, but very little action. The parents are not included in the whole solution, which the municipality is currently preparing, which is a bad thing, because the parents understand what the needs of the special children are. The kindergartens did not receive a solution at all, and the parents also claim that no one was with them in connection
Unfortunately, Kelish is once again doing things in the hafif method without a deep, professional and suitable solution for these children, and therefore I say again unequivocally: "Until these children receive an optimal solution, both the school children and the kindergarten children and are transferred to the required facilities, which will meet their needs, we We will not allow the work to begin, and certainly not while the children are in this place. So Klish's task is to provide a high-quality, quick solution so that the children are in another facility and the contractor can start working."
Children cannot stay a few meters from a construction site where quarrying work is being carried out. Especially when it comes to children with special needs
In the approved reservation, Han explains that the only solution to the problem is to move the children from the institutions near the construction site to alternative buildings:
"A condition for granting a building permit will be the presentation of an adjusted schedule with the director of education, for the evacuation of the special education activity adjacent to the lot, before the start of the developer's work. There are still no timetables for the evacuation of the special education activity adjacent to the lot, nor is it clear whether alternative buildings have been determined... we have not heard a word in advance at all The Education Administration on this issue.
This is such a significant issue for the children's health and there is no involvement of the representatives of the students' parents in the required solutions, there are no timetables, there is no educational body to accompany the process."
Councilwoman Hila Lauper: "Everyone is a victim of the situation, including the developer"
Councilwoman Hila Laufer said at the meeting that everyone is a victim of the situation, including the entrepreneur:
"The first meeting we held was after we found out where they were actually going to build. It's important to me that you understand the situation - everyone in this story is a victim of the situation, by the way, the developer too.
The developer didn't know (because no one would let him know) that he bought land, which is adjacent to the building of the special education, children on the autistic spectrum, and the apartment buyers didn't know either.
A resident is sitting here, who bought an apartment with the best of his money, and he tells me that there will be no blessing in building a house when children are suffering. And the entrepreneur says it too. Projects need to be promoted without harming dozens of children.
We reached agreements and none of it was implemented. Based on future promises we will approve projects? The problem is not limited to the suffering of children, it is the staff that accompanies the children, it is the families who will have to absorb the difficulties of the children.
The chairman of the parents' committee of the Ofer school says that it saddens her that council members sit and laugh, when we talk about children from special education, who are going to suffer. The replacement building has not yet been renovated and it is not yet adapted to the children's needs. The finance committee, according to her, has not yet approved The funds for renovation, the gardens above the Ofer school, they don't have alternative buildings, because basically nothing is ready. So you come and tell us to approve a plan based on something I tell you because I started this process two years ago and it didn't happen.
You can understand why me and the friends here don't believe in words and promises, because we were already promised and it didn't happen. I am asking and I really want the project to be implemented but not at the expense of children, so I will not be able to vote until I can see with my own eyes that things are arranged for the children."
CEO and owner of Shetit Company, Shalom Shetrit: "We will renovate the Mazor school for the benefit of the children"
Shalom Shatrit, CEO and owner of the Shetit Company, said:
"On September 1st, the students of Ofer will study in the Mazor. Until then, Shetit will pay for the adaptation of the Mazor and its accessibility. On August 1st, Shetit will land on the land by sea and begin construction. Moreover, the company will renovate the Ofer school so that the children will return to a renovated school. We stand On schedule and the construction will be completed at the end of 2025 as planned. The company contributes a lot to many entities in the city, helps and non-profits and gives back to the public in no small amounts. We are sorry that we were put between the greens and the municipality. Thank you to the parents who agreed to move, and thank you to the mayor for her intervention."
There is no problem to build and build and you need to build. There is a problem that entrepreneurs without borders build monsters at the expense of overcrowding and damage to the human and natural environment
These towers should be cut in half at least
It is the role of the municipality if there is anyone who cares about Haifa being a city of quality of life
The developer is not a pig. If he comes across idiots who are willing to bend the terms of the tender for him, he won't take it. Stupidity not explored in Blade 443.
In a reformed city, one meter would not be added beyond marketing by tender.
Selling land to a contractor with certain rights.
The contractor signs that he knows the location of the land, nuisances as well as construction rights.
Then the municipality increases the building rights for the contractor...
Why?
Then the municipality removes a special school lest it disturb the contractor...
Why?
If you want to honk the contractor, in order for him to contribute to the election campaigns of the city council, as he contributed to the previous ones, you should at least state that the construction will be tens of meters away from the school.
It's easy to be a populist and look for a thousand reasons not to build at every point.
It is more difficult to be a construction initiator and to innovate in this old city where most of the buildings are very old and were built in the 50's and 60's.
In my opinion, the courts should (in general) prioritize renewal and construction because it is a matter of supervision of the tenants.
Anyone who wants to be mayor must announce that he will replace city engineer Ariel Watermo - failure follows failure. Not just a point failure here but one of many planning failures and management failures of the engineering department.
We need a new city engineer, he's destroyed enough. Mahabiva Reich Road Asonat Tama 38 which coincides with the interests of contractors, failed construction plans in the stadium complex in Kiryat Eliezer which looks like a housing estate. 30 meter containers in front of the Kishon. Zero bike lanes..
enough. enough.
Why don't you list the great successes of the city engineer Ariel Wetterman -
1. Accommodating the IKEA store and the shopping mall next to it
2. Approval of the railway depot complex
3. The subsidence of the railway lines and the opening of the sea front
4. Development of tens of thousands of new jobs
5. Approval of a new outline plan and excellent handling of the many lawsuits filed as a result - the acceptance of which will bring the city to bankruptcy.
6. Convincing "Intel" to settle for building a parking lot...
