Klitschko promises not to build over the Aquarium in Obolon, even though his subordinates a week ago already issued initial data for this object
The Department of Urban Planning and Architecture of the Kyiv City State Administration 13 in January issued development conditions and restrictions for the construction of a fitness and health complex, a multifunctional complex comprising residential buildings, built-in and attached non-residential premises, and a transformer substation on Heroes of Stalinhrad Avenue, 45 in the Obolonskyi district of Kyiv.
This is evidenced by data from the Unified State Electronic System in the field of construction.
The maximum permissible height of buildings is 127 meters (approximately 42 floors). The final height will be determined by the project documentation.
The construction will take place on a plot of 1,58 hectares, which Inter sport received by 2028 year for the reconstruction of the building of the former mass education school for swimming into a sports and health complex and for the construction of indoor tennis courts. On this plot is located the Aquarium fitness center.
Note that the construction of residential buildings on the specified plot does not correspond to its targeted purpose. This non-compliance is stated in the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding). As with the non-compliance with the functional purpose of the plot.
As is known, the development of the plot became possible thanks to the Kyiv City Council decision of 31.08.2021, which approved the Detailed Plan of the Territory within North Street, Obolonsky Avenue, Prichorna Street, Heroes of Stalingrad Avenue, and Marshal Malinovsky.
The DTTP (Detailed Plan of the Territory) provides for the construction on Heroes of Stalingrad Avenue, 45 three 33-story residential buildings on 660 apartments and a fitness and health complex. It is planned to accommodate 1300 residents.
The density of development on the plot in the DTTP is indicated as 823 people/hectare, while in the MOU the maximum permissible population density is noted as “480 -500 people per hectare, in accordance with DTTP project decisions.
The functional purpose of the plot on Heroes of Stalingrad Avenue, 45 in the DTTP is a territory of public buildings and facilities, and before the start of construction it needed to be converted to multi-apartment residential development.
Recall that local residents actively opposed approving this DTTP, because it provides for further dense development and an increase in the district’s population. During the session in August 2021, a representative of the public reminded the deputies of five criminal cases related to this DTTP. According to public activists, in particular, the DTTP did not pass the mandatory public discussions procedure.
In 2019 year, under public pressure and at the proposal of Mayor Vitali Klitschko, this DTTP was taken off the agenda for revision, however, in August 2021 year the Kyiv City Council deputies still approved it, without changing anything.
Meanwhile, it became known that 15 January of this year mayor Vitali Klitschko promised that development on Heroes of Stalingrad Avenue, 45 would not happen.
“The mayor promised that development of the Aquarium, Polar market and other sore points would not happen,” wrote on Facebook a lawyer who in December 2020 year was appointed advisor to the mayor on legal matters.
