August has been a month of work for the Councilor for Urban Planning of the Teguise City Council, Domingo Cejas, and for the technicians who have reviewed the agreement signed between the Administration and the developer Algol, approved in Plenary Session on April eleventh. Last Thursday, the last meeting took place before leaving the document in the hands of the drafting team, in order to take it to approval in the first week of September.
After the deadline for allegations, this agreement has undergone a series of modifications, which, according to Cejas, "has not influenced us." One of the main difficulties was the location of a five-star hotel establishment, since the different political groups criticized the classification of one million four hundred thousand square meters of land in the Costa Teguise golf course as urban land. According to the Councilor for Urban Planning, finally the hotel will be relocated, "without any land reclassification, since Algol currently has equipment land," the councilor explained.
In addition, the developer had a buildability of fifty thousand meters, so one of the main modifications that have been carried out has been to develop that buildability in a programmed manner, that is, "that fifty percent is carried out before 2010, and the other fifty percent, after", according to Cejas.
This agreement has also seen the disappearance of the point that established a preference for Algol in the event that the Teguise City Council does not carry out the management of the 135,000 meters of land dedicated to endowments within a period of thirty years ceded by the developer to the Administration. "This term is a guarantee for the residents and for the City Council, because it guarantees that this commitment is executed as soon as possible. But with this modification, this land will continue to maintain the use of endowment and equipment even if it passes into the hands of a private company, which I do not think will happen," Cejas explained.
In any case, it is expected that in the next few days this document will be corrected, so that it can pass into the hands of the council's technicians, who will be able to verify the changes and take it to approval in the first weeks of September.
