FEATURES OF FORMATION OF LAND PLOTS NEAR MULTI-APARTMENT RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS

Abstract

The article examines the problem of land plots formation near apartment buildings, which arises due to insufficient legal clarity, long duration of processes and application of different formation methods in practice. The problem is related to the fact that apartment building residents often do not have clear ownership or use rights to the land required for the operation of buildings. The study aims to analyze the processes of land plots formation near apartment buildings, determine their legal regulation and assess how much land is needed for the operation of buildings. The article identifies three main methods of land plot formation: land reform land management project, land plot formation and redevelopment project and detailed plan. The legal acts regulating the preparation of these projects are analyzed, and the timelines of the process of each formation method are drawn up. Based on the “Administration Methodology of Other Purpose State Land Plots Sold or Leased Not by Auction”, the minimum land area required for the operation of apartment buildings is determined. The study selected blocks of apartment buildings in Kaunas city, calculated preliminary plot areas (from 102 m² to 2281 m²), and made a forecast of the need for state land - an average of 956 m² per apartment building.
