The Judiciary sent a notification to the Municipality of Maldonado for a lawsuit filed against the Argentine businessman Andrés Reinaldo Rossiwho has a allegedly irregular property located in the area of Jose Ignacio beach.
The claim, issued by a group of neighbors residing in the spa, is being studied by lawyers from the Legal Department of the commune, as learned The Observer. The mayor has a period of 30 calendar days to respond to the Justice since last Friday.
The complainants maintain that the base of Rossi’s house is not one meter above the dunes, as required by the regulations, but supported on it. Furthermore, they point out is made entirely of concreteso, understand, fails to use lightweight materials.
A February 2021 report prepared by the architect Ignacio Amarla to which he agreed The Observer coincides with the observation of the neighbors and points out that the property belonging to the businessman and close to the José Ignacio Lighthouse is “heavy” in terms of design and materiality.
“We request the prohibition to innovate regarding the progress in the construction of housing that is being built in registers 239 and 433 of the town of Faro de José Ignacio,” the lawsuit states. Among the precautionary measures, they ask that Rossi recompose the “attacked environment” in 30 days and that the Ministry of the Environment notify him, once the term has expired and if he has not made the changes, to make the modifications.
From the family they point out that the house obtained the corresponding construction permit from the Ministry of Environment and, therefore, from the outset acted under the standard. At the same time, They acknowledge that they had to adjust some details of the work to respect the regulations.
the other concern that the League of Neighbors transferred to Justice corresponds to the owned by Siobhan Dumas, daughter of well-known chef Carlos “Gato” Dumas. However, the Municipality of Maldonado headed by Enrique Antía has not yet been notified of the situation because the judge in charge of the case continues to evaluate the precautionary measures requested.
The constructions located within a “block of ecosystem fragility”, says the regulations, must be one meter above the dunes and from there they can be six meters high. In order not to alter the care of the dunes or affect the natural environment of the coast, they cannot exceed six meters in height or use heavy materials (such as concrete and steel), nor can they be raised on the sand – unless piles are used. – .
