3)  Those front/back carpark is assigned as 2.5mx10m (Long car park). 

4)  Developer listened to the purchasers' side of stories

5)  Purchasers listened to Developers' side of stories

6)  Both Developer and Purchasers agreed on coming to the meeting with the mindset to find the resolution to the front back carpark issue.

7)  Three options have been given by Developer X-Scan to affected front/back carpark owners:

a)      Accept the rebate of RM 4000 (after negotiation during meeting among developer & resident representatives)

b)  *    Swap the front/back carpark with single carpark plot owners who are interested to get 2 carparks and do not mind getting front/back car park. Single carpark owner will pay RM12K to the affected front back car park owners and swap lots.

c)   *  Sell the back carpark to developer and get refund RM 12K. Developer will take over the back car park lot and can do whatever to the car park lot(Including blocking or sealing the car park lot). Developer can also rent out this lot or resell it back to the unit owners at any price in the future(based on willing buyer willing seller arrangement)

 *Option B & C need consensus and subject to approval from banks (as S&P stated units of carpark attached to condominium)

i think this is a fair resolution to the issue. For affected purchasers, you may sign in and choose your options at the below website:-

www.dpiazza.ning.com

You will be asked to select your options when you sign up. For those who have already signed up, you may edit your profile under My Page to indicate your preference. We will use this as a tool to gather the voice of the affected front back carpark owners and for use to communicate back to Developer X-Scan on our preference.

On behalf of the purchasers of D'Piazza condo with front-back carpark, i would like to thank all parties(YB Sim and MPPP-Ar Yew and Ar Danny for arranging this meeting) and Developer(X-Scan)/Henry Butcher(Butterworth) for attending this meeting.

-----------------------------------------------

With this, we propose to put a closure to the issue.

Dear D'Piazza unit owners,

Greetings.....

Just wanted to provide an update that YB Sim Tze Tzin has helped to arrange a meeting between the developer(X-Scan) and purchasers of D'Piazza Condominium who are affected by the front-back carpark issue together with the Building Department of MPPP. YB Sim will also be present at the meeting.

Date: 25th March 2010 (Thursday)

Time:  10:00am (meeting to start at 10:30am sharp)

Due to the size of the meeting room, only 7 representatives from the purchasers are allowed to attend the meeting. Hence, we are looking for people who have a strong opinion as well as vocal(especially lawyers!) to attend this meeting. If you are keen to attend this meeting, please drop us a comment at this blog or email us at dpiazzapetition@gmail.com.

In view of this and to be fair to those who are affected and keen to attend(but may not attend due to the limited number of representatives allowed), please send your feedback to dpiazzapetition@gmail.com

Looking forward to have a fruitful meeting with our developer to resolve this front back carpark issue.

Petition against D'piazza Condominium's back-to-back carparks

Dear D'piazza condo owners,

Please voice your concerns on the D'piazza condominium's back to back carpark issues here. As a unit owner, i am very disappointed with this arrangement. Please unite and voice our complaints to the relevant parties to get this resolved. Unity is strength. It is very inconvenient for unit owners to reverse our back car out first if we wish to drive out our front car in the carpark lot. Thereafter, we need to drive our front car back into the lot before we can drive off our car. Imagine the time wasted and the petrol wasted just for this exercise. This is not much difference from having a single carpark lot!.  Let's use this blog to gather our voice to ensure that the D'piazza Developer listens to us. If you wish to receive updates on this, please provide your Full name, unit number, email and mobile number. In order to avoid spamming to your mobile phone or email address, i have created the email  dpiazzapetition@gmail.com.   Please drop me an email with your Full name, unit number, email and mobile number so that spammers will not get your email or mobile.  If you know of friends who have purchased D'piazza condo, please refer them to here as well.

i have also created a Facebook Page on this for the speed and ease of sharing. You can click the link below to join if you already have a facebook account.
