Special Township Act Kolhapur!!!

SPECIAL TOWNSHIP ACT granted for Kolhapur City!!!

The state government finally declared Special Townships Act for Kolhapur city. The decision was warmly welcomed by CREDAI Kolhapur. The city limits issue and the affordable housing scarcity in Kolhapur city can now be resolved by developing mega-township projects under this special townships policy act. According to the act, a special township must have minimum of 100acres area, it should provide basic infrastructure like roads, street lighting, water supply, power supply, waste water treatment and at least 20% of the total area should be reserved as Park/Garden/Playground. It should also provide other public amenities like schools, hospitals, cemetery/cremation ground, bus station, fire brigade station, garbage disposal systems, police station, bus station and other public utilities and should be managed and maintained by the developer. In short a private and better management compared to the Municipal corporation management and hence reducing the load on the state government and the local corporation (KMC). The developers are given many concessions according to the policy, some of them are stated below.

SPECIAL Township Policy - concessions given to the developer:

The Government of India has announced its policy to permit 100% foreign direct investment (FDI) for the development of integrated townships. In order to encourage private investment in the housing sector and to facilitate housing at affordable prices, the following incentives will be available for projects under the Special Township Area:
i) Non-agriculture permission will be automatic.
ii) Exemption from Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976.
iii) Government land falling under township area shall be leased out to the developer at the current market rate.
iv) The condition that only agriculturist will be eligible to buy agriculture land shall not be applicable in Special Township Areas.
v) There shall be no ceiling limit for holding agriculture land to be purchased by the owner/developer for such project.
vi) There will be floating FSI in the township. Unused FSI of one plot can be used anywhere in the whole township.
vii) The stamp duty rates applicable in the Special Township area shall be 50% of prevailing rates.
viii) A Special Township Project shall be partially exempted from payment of scrutiny fee for processing the development proposal.
ix) 50% concession in payment of development charge.
x) Development of basic infrastructure and amenities.

Amanora township , Magarpatta township, Nanded City pune, Life Republic, Blue ridge, Kul-Ecoloch are the inspiring examples of such developments. These developers are doing what the state Government can't do! The builders of these townships are developing infrastructure in the fringe areas of Pune and providing housing for the growing population!!

Rainwater Harvesting Kolhapur

Rainwater Harvesting to be made compulsory in Kolhapur !!!

The town planning department of the KMC is all set to make rainwater harvesting mandatory for the upcoming and also the existing real estate projects in the city. As told by the city engineer Mr Netradeep Sarnobat, rainwater harvesting will be made compulsory or the upcoming projects in the first phase and then will be gradually implemented in the existing projects.
In the state of Tamil Nadu, rainwater harvesting was made compulsory for every building to avoid ground water depletion. It proved excellent results within five years, and every other state took it as role model. Since its implementation, Chennai saw a 50 percent rise in water level in five years and the water quality significantly improved

Why rainwater harvesting?
Rainwater is a free source and relatively clean and with proper treatment it can be even used as a potable water source. Rainwater harvesting saves high-quality drinking water sources and relieves the pressure on sewers and the environment by mitigating floods, soil erosion's and replenishing groundwater levels. In addition, rainwater harvesting reduces the potable water consumption and consequently, the volume of generated waste water.
Application areas
Rainwater harvesting systems can be installed in both new and existing buildings and harvested rainwater used for different applications that do not require drinking water quality such as toilet flushing, garden watering, irrigation, cleaning and laundry washing. Harvested rainwater is also used in many parts of the world as a drinking water source. As rainwater is very soft there is also less consumption of washing and cleaning powder. With rainwater harvesting, the savings in potable water could amount up to 50% of the total household consumption.
Criteria for selection of rainwater harvesting technologies
Several factors should be considered when selecting rainwater harvesting systems for domestic use:
• type and size of catchment area
• local rainfall data and weather patterns
• family size
• length of the drought period
• alternative water sources
• cost of the rainwater harvesting system.
