The Court Order Survey

http://stopvt7.blogspot.com/ .

"On Saturday the 17 of November we have finished two and a half days watching the Rayong Administrative Court
ordered survey by a Bangkok surveyor from the Ministry of the Interior. It was witnessed by Pattaya City Hall officials
and representative of our condo. It started at the Pattaya Meteorological Station where a Mean Sea Level (MSL)
reference pin is located. This pin is approximately 59 meters above sea level. Starting at this pin, measurements
had to be made down to the sea by using surveying instruments to establish MSL in front of VT7.

This required two measurements for MSL depending on whether it is 0.0 as claimed by City Hall or +1.448 as
claimed by the Bangkok surveyor that was established by the Thai Royal Navy as and average of all of Thailand.

This claim is the same as has been explained in previous Admin Court hearings.
This is the acceptable international standard establishing MSL in Thailand. From the international standard,
which is at +1.448 meter elevation for MSL, the location of the VT7 building starts about 88 meters from MSL
and the entire building is inside the 200 meter which is stated in Issue 9 as the limit for construction
that is to be no more than 14 meters high.

....

The argument in court is between Issue 8 (100 meters) and Issue 9 (200 meters)
and VT7 building failing both Issue 8 and 9.

It is expected VT7 will lose their building permit or receive a new permit
for only a 14 meter (4 stories) building?"

This is getting more interesting as time passes...
looks like the VT7 condo project is going to be limited to 14 meters high...
which is where the existing construction has stopped!

But...Remember,
This is Thailand
