Just wish to report a few things done in the past month: (I) Meeting with Development Opportunities Office of Development Bureau On 9 December, I, Mr Vincent Ho (BSD Council Chairman) and Mr Kenny Tse (BSD Council Member) met with officers from the Development Opportunities Office of the Development Bureau including Head of the Office, Mr Laurie Lo. This is an exercise to reflect our insights to the policy on revitalization of industrial buildings implemented by the government since April 2010 and help the Bureau's interim review of the policy. We discussed on matters relating to difficulties encountered in the process of waiver application for wholesale conversion of industrial building. In the meeting, we discussed on the followings:- (1) The limitation of building conversion due to building bulk restriction. (2) The possibility of giving exemption to increased building bulk resulting from compensation of accountable floor area loss from car parking space, loading/unloading area, provision of buffer floors and associated facilities, etc. (3) More flexibility in considering the loading/unloading and car parking space provision requirement due to site constraints of individual building. (II)Comment on Restoring Green Central-The New Landscape of the Central Government Offices Based on comments / discussion among members of the Executive Committee, I have drafted a letter containing HKIS's viewpoints on the proposed development scheme. The letter was signed by the President and submitted to the Planning Department on 23 December. The followings are main points conveyed in this letter:- (1) Our general support to the proposed preservation of the Main and East Wing. (2) Our concerns on the traffic impact of the proposed new commercial building at the previous West Wing site; (3) Our concerns on the possible management implication of the new open spaces to be provided. (III) Seminar on Water Seepage Problem organized by the Office of the Ombudsman On 15 December, I attended a seminar organized by the Office of the Ombudsman. In this seminar, I gave a talk to about 100 Justices of the Peace (JP) interested in the topic. (IV) Appearance on TVB Jade Programme - "Scoop" After the occurrence of a fire incidence on hawker stalls at Fa Yuen Street, the safety problem of these stalls became a hot topic. I appeared in a TVB Jade Programme - "Scoop" at 7:30 pm on 13 December and offered comment on potential fire risk of these stalls.
