AN OPEN PROGRAM FOR A NEW COSTA PARADISO
1 September 2015
Premise.
In the premises, and perhaps in the intentions, of the cooperative that had promoted the development of the territory, Costa Paradiso represented an urbanization model for tourist purposes: development agreements between private individuals and the Municipality according to the law, with specific obligations for both; strict respect for the natural environment; good building standards; adoption of a regulation of the territory, compulsorily accepted by all at the time of purchase, aimed at guaranteeing both the civil coexistence between the owners of real estate units, and the observance of the technical standards and the building and landscape restrictions established in the PTL; development of collective and urban planning services. In short, a tourist settlement, where the buildings should have harmonized with a natural environment of extraordinary beauty, without devastating it.
Well, especially in the last twenty years that model, excellent from the start, has been progressively disregarded and upset!
The wounds to the natural environment are now visible to all. The subdivision agreement has become a timeless and no-rules implementation tool. The Municipality of Trinità does not fulfill the obligations assumed in the agreement for the acquisition of the urbanization works and considers CP as an ATM, without providing any service. The legal qualification of the Community and, consequently, the social purpose, the rules and the management system of the Community remain uncertain and not well defined. The latter is inefficient, not very transparent, increasingly expensive and with a high level of arrears. The fight against arrears was not carried out in such a way as to respect equal treatment between all Participants. The services to the community are minimal, there is no idea of Costa Paradiso for the future that would enhance its great potential as a long-stay tourist settlement, which goes beyond the bathing season in the strict sense.
In this framework, there is one goal, which should be shared by all Participants and which must be pursued decisively: that of saving what can be saved, blocking the latest attempts to tamper with the territory, stopping the degradation and working to give substance to a different idea of Costa Paradiso, compared to the current one.
The ATCP proposal: a program to be developed on 3 lines of action.
Start a process for the reform of the Community on the following aspects:
give the Community a certain and defined legal identity, having regard to: the social purpose of the Community, on the basis of the Regulation; the legal and organizational scheme most suitable for achieving the corporate purpose and the protection of the interests of the Participants;
revise the Regulation, adapting it to the new legal-organizational scheme and to current needs;
create a more efficient, more transparent and cheaper management system than the present one, capable of containing management costs, avoiding waste, minimizing the phenomenon of arrears, but also of abuses;
equip the Community with appropriate tools, such as: a new budget structure and a management and accounting information system capable of keeping all the relevant elements under control in order to guarantee: sound administration, capable of allowing the concrete application of the principle of transparency ; the protection of the territory and the respect of urban planning, building, landscape and public hygiene constraints
Give a definitive structure to CP from an urban point of view and clarify the role of the Municipality.
To implement this line of action it is necessary to activate a discussion and negotiation table on primary urbanization works with the Municipality, without prejudice, of course, to the outcome of the appeal to the TAR against the Municipality itself. Appeal made necessary following the refusal of both the Municipality and the Board of Directors to open a negotiation table formally requested by a spontaneous assembly of over 300 owners held in Piazzetta Maya in the summer of 2012.
The same attitude was held by the current Board of Directors, but the sewerage project could be an excellent opportunity to start and define this process, in which Abbanoa's involvement is essential right away, with a view to handing over management to it of the plant.
Protect the natural heritage as a factor of development and enhancement of the territory.
At the basis of this line of action there must be a vision of Costa Paradiso projected into the future: that of a tourist settlement not only for a seaside destination, but also as a health resort, with a season that could last eight months a year. To this end, it is necessary to stimulate and promote suitable initiatives to develop both urban planning services to the community typical of an urban agglomeration, and various types of tourist attractions connected to the characteristics of the territory not only of Costa Paradiso but also of Sardinia.
This approach requires a decisive change of course in the management policy of the territory, which must have the beauty of the territory as a reminder and which requires the blocking of new buildings, as the available volume is now exhausted.
To this end, the survey and census of housing units is essential, both for administrative purposes and to protect the territory and suppress abuses.
The issues relating to the legal qualification and organizational model of the Community, the budget structure, the project for the new sewage-purification plant will be studied in depth. The results will be published on the ATCP website.
As this is an open program, suggestions and integration proposals are welcome to be sent to:
