Застрояването на частен имот, на собственост на Българската Православна Църква

            За застрояването на частен имот и такъв на собственост на Българската Православна Църква е необходимо да се има предвид възможностите за разпореждане на Църквата с вещни права, а именно:

            1. Съгласно чл.22 от Закона за вероизповеданията, различните съществуващи в България вероизповедания се разпореждат с имуществото си по ред, определен с техните устави. Уставът на БПЦ не предвижда изрична забрана за разпореждане с право на собственост върху земя. Тълкуването на Устава обаче налага този извод. Съгласно чл. 58, т.38 Светия синод разрешава по предложение на епархийския митрополит учредяването на вещно право на строеж до 50 години и вещно право на ползване до 25 години. Съгласно чл. 244, ал.1 договорите за учредяване на право на строеж и право на ползване се сключват по ред, определен с наредба, приета от Светия синод (засега такава няма приета). Същият извод се налага и по арг. по чл. 229, т.6.

            След като Уставът изрично сочи какви договори за разпореждане с вещни права се извършват от църквата по аргумент на противното разпореждането с право на собственост на недвижими имоти е изключено от компетенцията на управляващия орган – Светия синод. Следователно съседният църковен имот не може да бъде придобит чрез правна сделка.

            2. Възможността за застрояване е свързана единствено с учредяване право нас строеж за срок до 50 години, като ползването на терена може да се извърши чрез учредяване на вещно право на ползване до 25 години или чрез договор за наем за срок до 10 години – чл.229, ал.1 от ЗЗД.

            3. Осигуряването на оптимални параметри за застрояване е възможно чрез обединяването на двата съседни имота в един УПИ. Това обединяване е възможно по съгласие на собствениците и одобрен план за регулация, с който се променят досегашните граници на двата имота – чл.15 от ЗУТ. В случай, че единият от имотите е с друго предназначение следва да се извърши  промяна на предназначението  му съгласно чл. 9, ал.2 от ЗУТ. При обединяването на двата имота ще възникне съсобствен УПИ. Струва ми се, че това обединяване не може да се приеме за действие на разпореждане с правото на собственост върху недвижимия имот на БПЦ, което е изключено от устава.

            4. Учредяването на вещно право на строеж и вещно право на ползване върху общото УПИ в полза на частния инвеститор ще доведе до възможността същият да стане собственик на построеното и да ползва имота за уговорения срок. Правото на строеж се учредява в съответствие с влязъл в сила подробен устройствен план, като е необходимо одобрен инвестиционен проект за индивидуализацията на предмета на сделката.

            5. След построяването на съответните сгради и съоръжения, до изтичането на срока частният инвеститор може да ползва построеното и терена съобразно уговореното. След прекратяването на правото на строеж и правото на ползване поради изтичане на срока подобренията върху терена стават съсобствени с квоти съответстващи на правата на съсобственост върху общия УПИ, доколкото не е уговорено друго.

            6. В случай, че не е уговорено друго и след срока възникне съсобственост не само върху терена, а и върху построеното, тази съсобственост може да бъде прекратена съгласно чл.34, ал.1 от ЗС и глава двадесет и девета "Съдебна делба" от ГПК. При съдебната делба имотът се разделя реално доколкото това е възможно  - чл.69, ал.2 от ЗН, чл. 201 от ЗУТ. Делбата  може да се извърши и доброволно  - чл. 202 – 204 от ЗУТ. В случай, че н е възможно реално разделяне на имота доброволно или съдебно, същият се изнася на публична продан по реда на ГПК.

            7. Действията, които следва да бъдат извършени по образуването на общ УПИ, изготвянето на проект и одобряването им, учредяване на право на строеж и право на ползване ще отнемат продължително време и средства. Затова инвеститорът следва да бъде осигурен срещу риска другият партньор БПЦ да откаже съдействие след известен период. По тази причина е задължително изготвянето на предварителен договор, в който да бъдат описани всички действия, които ще извърши инвеститора, съгласието на БПЦ за това, както и задължението й да оказва съдействие, какъв договор за учредяване, право на строеж и за право на ползване ще бъде сключен пред нотариуса, за какъв период, срещу какво възнаграждение и въобще в тази си част  този предварителен договор трябва да съдържа всички съществени клаузи на бъдещия окончателен договор. Срещу всяка възможност БПЦ да откаже извършването на определено действие следва да се предвиди съответна неустойка, която освен да покрива стойността на извършените до момента разходи, да служи и за евентуална санкция срещу неизправната страна при нарушаване на договора.

            Това cа най – общо въпросите с поставения казус при повече информация ще дадем допълнителен отговор.

BG legislation on Design - summary




A concise summary on BG  provisions  concerning Design  in terms of the role of the Employer.

Bulgarian Legislation concerning Design

Under Employer's Requirements- Volume 4:

 

à as a minimum, The Designer shall determine those items identified in TAL- Regulation 4  for the Scope and Content of Investment Design

 

à The TAL is applicable only to the first three stages of the design development (Definitive/ Technical/ Final).

 

à design will be considered complete:

- upon submittal of TAL- Regulation 4 compliant design documents (which have undergone all checks and reviews for each phase) and

-   following issue of Engineer written statement of no objection (where required).

 

Under TAL- Regulation 4 for the Scope and Content of Investment Design (21 May 2001):

 

à Design stages -Art. 2 (1):

  1. Definitive Design
  2. Technical Design
  3. Operating Design ( =Final?)

 

à Designs for complex building sites do through all the three stages. (Art. 2 (4))

 

à The Investor (Employer?) determines and assigns the design stages for each separate design stage depending on the type and specific features of the building site. (Art.4)

 

à The Investor can ask the Designer to clarify and substantiate the scope and content of the design, as well as collect information and documents necessary for the design. (Art. 5(2))

 

à When necessary and by the decision of the Investor preliminary investigation may be assigned. (Art. 6)

 

à Every design package must be coordinated with the designs of the rest of the design packages. It is obligatory that all the design packages are signed by the Investor (owner), while the packages under Art. 139 (4) TAL are signed in addition by the Technical Controller (Engineer in our case?). 

 

à The Investor may assign the elaboration of a common coordination plan for coordination of the installation implementation of the building site. (Art. 25)

 

 

Under Territorial Arrangement Law:

 

à Art. 139 (2) – The Employer is to decide which stages or design packages to negotiate in accordance with specific features of the construction site for its successful completion.

 

à Art 139 (3) – all the design packages (graphs or texts) of the Design  are to be signed by the Designer, the person who conducted the concurrence estimation, the Employer an d the Engineer- constructor…


Joint Venture


4) We would also be interested in getting information on the types of structure which you have experienced in JV arrangements. I know these are deal specific but you mentioned one particular one which protected the smaller partner form being 'ratcheted' due to lack of funds etc.     

There are a number of ways to guarantee your rights under a JV agreement but they all need to be agreed with the Potential Investor.  We can start by putting a clause stipulating that regardless of your respective portions of the shared capital, you will receive preferred shares, which give you the right to receive liquidation quota first.  Usually in return for providing mezzanine finance the Potential Investor will receive a priority repayment of their loan and a second ranking mortgage/pledge, together with a priority coupon charged at a rate (rolled up over the duration of the project) and a determined per cent of the profit share upon exit of the project.  The mezzanine finance may rank behind the senior debt and possibly even behind equity – thus you will not take the "first loss" position.  

The Decision for the additional payments that might be needed for the Project, will require the joint decision of the Parties along with the sale of shares to any third party or the obtaining of any additional loan

In the particular case mentioned a "Specified Proportion" was be allocated in relation to each Shareholder, which was a percentage of the total nominal value of all equity which is the total nominal value of all the Shares in issue and which was a significantly greater percent to the Potential Investor and say around 00-00% to the other party, depending on the valuation of the land.  However, in that particular case the Parties agreed that 00months after the date of the Agreement they will review the Specified Proportions based on Company's activities and performance. There was also a ceiling of up to 00% for the minority Shareholder.

In the event that the Project requires additional funding, the Parties or the Company Board should adopt a resolution requiring the Parties to provide financing to the JV Company, pro rata to their respective Shareholdings.  The decision shall specify the form of the investment (equity, Shareholder Loans, Guarantees or any other form agreed by the Parties) (Guarantees shall be treated as equity).
In the event that such a decision is adopted and the Company is to be provided with additional financing by the Shareholders:
through subscriptions for Shares, then no Shares shall be issued other than in the Specified Proportion to Investor and You;
through Shareholder Loans, then such Shareholder Loans shall be made in the Specified Proportion; or
In the event that a Party fails to provide financing to the JV Company, the other Shareholder providing its pro-rata portion of the funding shall be entitled, to provide all or part of that remaining financing. This additional funding shall be in the form of a loan and the Party providing it shall be entitled:
to (i) require that no Shareholder Loans be due to the other one, until after a repaid; and (ii) to receive interest at the rate of 20%, such interest to be repaid at the same time as repayment of the principal;
At any time, prior to the end of  a specified term (in that case it was 00 days) Party which did not provide the financing may repay in a form of a Shareholder Loan or directly to the other Party.

        1.1xA
I = ------------
        B+C

Where:
A =        amount of Additional Funding plus the accumulated interest calculated.
B =        Negative Cash Flows, as of the date of the demand for conversion.
C =        Total of the investments pursuant to the relevant Decision (not included in B above).
I =         The percentage by which the Party's Interest in the JV shall increase.



The order of seniority of loans or credit facilities of the JV Company and the order of repayment was as follows:
accrued and unpaid principal and interest on any loans obtained from Financial Institutions or third parties;
accrued and unpaid principal and interest on any loans advanced by a Party in excess of its actual pro rata Shareholding in the JV Company including, for the avoidance of doubt, Additional Funding;
accrued and unpaid principal and interest on all Shareholder Loans.
The Positive Cash Flows shall be distributed to the Shareholders in the following priority:
to the Shareholders pro-rata to their respective, until each of the parties capital investment in the JV Company including for the avoidance of doubt, Additional Funding;
thereafter to the Shareholders pro-rata to their respective (i.e. 00% to Potential Investor and 00% to the minority one) until Investor has received an 000 of 00%;
thereafter 00.5% to Potential Investor and 00.5% to the minor shareholder, until the Potential Investor has received an 00of 00%;
thereafter, sixty three percent to Potential Investor and 00% to the other.

In addition please find attached final file with our calculations.
A detailed breakdown of 'construction works cost' of € per square meter and answer to your questions
will be send to you until -th of June(end of the day). I hope it is not too late for you.

 
With that in mind can I ask you to give a detailed breakdown of the 'construction works cost' of €per square meter as outlined in your proposal?
 
As you know we were somewhat confused as it included the cost of finance as well as a premium for the freezer / cold storage element.
 
Consequently we would welcome your response in as much detail as possible to ensure we are reviewing figures on a like for like basis.
 
Likewise can you give us your view on the necessity /cost to provide an electricity sub station as the likely Kilowattage required to run the facitity will dictate this?  How does this process work with the local electricity companies and what are the likely costs, particularly as we have the gas line running at the form of our site. Was this cost also included in your figures?
 
If you have any queries plese do not hesitate to revert.

first draft


 
In respect of the situation with the payment certificates, we would like to bring your attention to the following:
 
1.  According to the Contract, the Statement should represent the amounts "to which the Contractor considers himself to be entitled for the preceding month".  Therefore, it makes no sense that Client includes any deduction for DD in such Statement as according to Client's position DD are not due. 
 
2.  There is no contractual requirement that the Statement has to be signed by the Engineer. The Contract provides that the Engineer, having in mind the amount claimed by the Contractor in the Statement, should issue an Interim Payment Certificate, which shall state " the amount which the Engineer fairly determines to be due, with supporting particulars"
 
3. However, from the L/C Client sent us this morning, we understand that in order to release any funds BANKS requires: 
(i) Statement issued by Client and certified by the Egnigeer;
(ii) Interim Payment Certificate signed by the Engineer. 
 
BANK requirements for release of funds, which are mandatory, should be  interpreted in the light of the logic of the Contract, which is that the Contractor presents his view on how much he should be paid for the preceding month in the form of a Statement and the Engineer uses this Statement to make his fair determination of the actual amount due.  The L/C requirements also seems to follow this logic as they require the Engineer only to "certify" the Statement, which does not meet "approve" or "agree", dislike the requirement to the Interim Payment Certificate, which has to be "signed" by the representative of the Engineer.  There is a clear distinction between the two requirements and we see no reason why BANK requirement to "certify" the Statement should be interpreted as a requirement to "approve" it, therefore such requirement should not be used as an excuse by the Engineer not to certify any Statement.  Moreover, the Contract goes even further providing that even "A Payment Certificate shall not be deemed to indicate the Engineer's approval, consent or satisfaction".  
 
4.  Client should discuss the situation both with the Engineer and the bank and try to go back to the contractual procedure, which we claim was not followed by the Engineer.  According to it: 
 (i) Client shall issue a Statement (which should be certified by the Engineer, if it has all necessary elements of a Statement), which represents Client's understanding of how much it has to be paid; 
 
(ii) the Engineer shall issue an Interim Payment Certificate within 28 days of receiving the Statement, which should represent its believe of how much is due to the Contractor; 
 
(iii) if the Contractor is not happy with the amount in the Interim Payment Certificate, he has right to dispute the Engineer's determination under clause 67.  Please note that the Engineer has right to make any deductions on behalf of the Employer only in case it has determined under the Contract's procedure that the Employer has a valid claim and is entitled to payment for such claim (which has not been done in this particular case).
