Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The court upheld the authorization to build four contiguous villas with carports. It held that a 0.20 excess in the surface ratio was covered by the derogation in Art. 59 para. 4 LCI. It also held that the fact that the plans were not signed by the architect did not, by itself, justify annulment of the permit. Any civil-law dispute concerning the easement for connecting pipelines to the private collector was left to the civil courts.

Omnilex-Regeste

Art. 59 para. 4 LCI; building permit and surface-ratio derogation; unsigned plans and civil-law servitudes: a permit may be upheld where the project falls within the statutory derogation for exceeding the surface ratio by 0.20. The absence of the architect’s signature on the plans does not in itself render the authorization void or require its annulment. Civil-law issues relating to easements or pipeline connections are not determined in the building-permit proceedings and remain reserved to the civil courts.

Résumé

Confirmation d'une autorisation de construire quatre villas contiguës avec couverts à voitures, en dépit du dépassement au rapport des surfaces de 0,20, conformément à la dérogation prévue à l'art.59 al.4 LCI. Les problèmes de droit civil liés à la servitude de raccordement des canalisations au collecteur privé en cause reste dévolu aux tribunaux civils. L'autorisation de construire ne peut être annulée du simple fait que les plans n'étaient pas signés par l'architecte.
