1:21 – 2:01Speaker 2

It's not here. Here it is. Let's get started. Committee of the Black Skin Committee. August 20th. We are all present, except Jim Sweet. Note that. Do we have a proposal to agree on the rules on July 23rd? The second. We have the first one and the second one on the note on July 21st. Do we have a motion to continue? Number 2. It seems that it has been asked to continue. I will continue the motion. I agree.

2:01Speaker 1

All those who agree, agree.

2:08Speaker 2

The motion is accepted. We are ready.

2:17 – 3:43Speaker 1

So we have two small subdivisions in today's agenda. The first one is in your Kirby or Smith agenda. Kirby is a small subdivision of one land area in Vernon Township, located on the southern side of Northern Seribu. This is 4.7 hectares of land taken from larger land. We did a research and the distribution is still allowed according to our definition of a minor subdivision. Actually, there is a technical comment that is very limited to the two minor subdivisions. Today, in this special subdivision, the surveyor noted that only a few technical things and also that the consent of the Ministry of Rehabilitation to be connected to UBIN 6 inches will be needed before the recording. And the regional auditor only made a few notes, simple about ownership, which must be matched with the plat before the note. That's all. So you get all the consent.

3:48 – 5:27Speaker 2

Thank you, Kaila. This is a minor sub-division in a field such as Kaila, and the regional surveyor has asked us to go to the Reynase Office, which we have to do. Oh, we have a 6-inch UBIN that can be connected to the septic system perimeter waste channel, so the region needs an 8-inch UBIN. This is only six inches, so we have to go to the Ministry of Finance. And Chad has recommended an agreement. The Ministry of Finance, before the recording, and that's a common thing. And the UBIN, after installation, must be checked or the guarantee must be entered before installation in the area. So that's a common thing. And as Caleb mentioned, The header from the auditor's office really wants us to make sure that the ownership is correct on the map. That's the kind of reference that has always been done. So, that's it. I will be the enemy so that we can agree with each other. I agree. Oh, with 3-1.

5:27Speaker 1

With 3-1. Okay.

5:34 – 5:52Speaker 2

So we have a suggestion. To agree with the sound of 3-1. All those who agree must agree. That's very soft. Okay. All right. Next, we have a small field.

6:02 – 7:12Speaker 1

At first, it was the Smith Minor Subdivision, but we have changed it to the Kendra Minor Subdivision. Because as you can see in the comments, there are already 22 minor subdivisions in that area with the name Smith. So it's the Kendra Minor Subdivision. This is located in the Blue River Township in the 600 East. It's a very beautiful small area. And this is the Minor Subdivision, 2.9 hectares wide. The Surveyor has several notes about the right of use that needs to be signed and recorded before the recording, before the recording of the map, and the Ministry of Transport needs to agree on the natural lighting of the waste channel before the recording of the map. The Ministry of Health requires land mining. Land mining is carried out, and the reverse elevation is recorded for the UBIN exit. And they have all signed this. And then the auditor is the person who records the change of name that has been needed since the beginning. And that's it.

7:12Speaker 2

So this is now kinder.

7:17Speaker 1

And once again, this is three divided by one.

7:31 – 7:46Speaker 2

Thank you again, Kayla. We changed the name from Smith. There are many Smiths. So we recommend a different change. I think there are 22 Smith subminors now. So this has been changed.

7:46Speaker 1

I think that's her daughter's name.

7:51 – 8:43Speaker 2

This will be, there will be Ubin outside the location. that flows from the waste stream, the septic system perimeter. Smith has all the land around him. He took these three hectares and gave it to his daughter. There is a dam or a fairly large ravine in the east where we flow the ubin. Okay, we will discuss it further. So we have to go back to Dewan Renase for that and also the right of ownership that must be recorded. The right of ownership has been prepared and we will record it before recording the map. The right of ownership for that is outside the location. Even though it is in the land itself and he shares it, it protects the ownership of the future of the land. Just out of curiosity, can you make the right of ownership for yourself?

8:45Speaker 1

Because that can be a problem.

8:46 – 9:05Speaker 2

There is a debate about that, and I am not a lecturer to answer. So, we are preparing it. The land will be transferred to his daughter, maybe even before the map is recorded. So, I think that's the reason it happened, but yes.

9:05Speaker 1

Yes, if that's above his name.

9:08 – 10:10Speaker 2

Yes. So, that's just a way to protect him, isn't it? That's normal for me. Now, you know, the other problem is if, for example, he records the plot without access rights, and then UBIN is there. They sell the land and they still don't have access rights. So that's a protection for the future. Yes. You are doing land mining on the day of the technical committee. So it has been added to the plot or the location plan, as well as the reverse elevation of the UBIN in Parit. It's clean, isn't it? This land is in the south of the pond, isn't it?

10:10Speaker 1

That's right.

10:25 – 13:31Speaker 2

But we don't run to the graves. No. No. The priest is in the forest. It's normal. It's about 95 to 100 feet in the east, into the forest. The local priest. It's not the local priest. It's a private priest. The Minister of Drainage must agree. Yes. Yes. So not in all situations, we have to run to the regional dam. Now the rules can only be an 8-inch private ubin. It can be a 6-inch private ubin, which is a case before the previous one. But if it is less than 8 inches, you must have the consent of the RENASE government. And if you are doing natural lighting, even above the hill, not inside the dam, you still have to have the consent of the RENASE government. Because the rules do require an 8-inch ubin or a river child or an open dam. And this does not always meet the requirements as an open fence, because this is only a deeper low slope. I will make it, I will ask the motion to agree on any of the conditions that the right to the highway is signed and recorded before the flat, and the agreement of the dynasty is agreed for natural lighting before the record of the flat, and three compared to one. We have the first and second. All those who agree, say yes. The motion is agreed with a loud voice. I have a technical question, may I ask? Of course. You mentioned 22 subdivisions, different from the name Smith, in Art. Are there any requirements for naming conventions, or should there be? That may be a question, Kaila, but if you pay attention to the title that is also mentioned, the part from the part of Kota Praja and the area that becomes part of it, now, it divides it into one square mile, so how many Smiths or names that can be in it. I remember first I had to use a unique name and suddenly I thought I don't know how to get away from it. On our side, I will ask the owner to start giving it a better name, but sometimes it also depends on the ownership of the land and is easier to find. Thank you.

13:31 – 14:15Speaker 1

I think that's all for today. So, I think, the Planning Commission, we have a short update. We have a plan for the implementation of the Joint Development Regulations in the agenda of the Planning Commission. And once again, this is a draft that basically contains no changes. We only combine the structure of zoning regulations and subdivision control regulations. So it will be shown in the Planning Commission. So it should not change anything about how everyone works right now. But we are eager to start it. The first one, everyone who agrees, I say yes.
