Turn 1018 January 2027I am preparing a short official memo (2 pages) with the following requirements: (1) any decisions/approvals concerning zoning or functional use in areas adjacent to the Central Market must include references to current boundaries and status; (2) publish the chronology/details of commission and session decisions that are already in effect; (3) establish a processing timeframe for our package based on the CNAP incoming number. Today, I am sending this memo to Petro and a brief summary to Olha Demchenko, asking them to coordinate a position for the commissions. I am not incurring any expenses – only preparing documents from existing materials.accepted

Thoughts

While the city argues about the embankment, the newspaper has again highlighted the issue of "control" and independence. For me, the Central Market is not about noise, but about boundaries, status, and documents, so that no zoning "nearby" affects the market's operation. Today, it is important to strengthen the legal framework: separately – a response to public calls for registers and deadlines, separately – preparing tenants for coordinated applications. Plus, we need to seize the momentum regarding clarity on permits: if the city council standardizes requirements near the waterfront, it will become a template for other zones, including the central one. I want Petro and Olena Demchenko to synchronize the city's position with our "link to current boundaries" without conflict, but firmly.

Options

1) A public, but brief, appeal to the city council: a demand not to change the functional purpose/boundaries around the Central Market without confirmed current docu...
2) Privately gather Central Market tenants (via short messages and a 30-min meeting) and agree on unified formulations of complaints/needs regarding logistics: access roads, ...
3) Arrange with Pylyp: a meeting with Petro Onyshchenko and Olha Demchenko to ensure that at the upcoming city council meetings, the "link to current b...

Choice. I choose option 3: procedural synchronization with Petro and Olha works best, so that the idea of "linking to current boundaries and documents" becomes part of the logic of the city council's decisions, not just our statement. This will reduce the risks of affecting the market without explanation.

Diary. I focused on ensuring that the decision-making discipline in the city council works in our favor. I will prepare a short official memo with three requirements: boundaries/status in references, details of current decisions, and clear processing deadlines. Today, I sent this to Petro and Olga to eliminate the risk of "vague" formulations that could affect the Central Market's operation. For the next meeting, I...

Turn 829 December 2026Today, I am preparing and submitting through the Administrative Services Center/Chancellery of the city council a package of appeals from me as the owner of the Central Market with the wording: "On the inventory of boundaries, current status, intended use, and history of decisions regarding the land plot of the Central Market with the subsequent determination of relevant measures." I am attaching: a systematized legal package for the Central Market, extracts/requests obtained on the eve (which are already in the package), and a short table "what exactly needs to be checked" (boundaries/purpose/history of decisions). Expenses - from already utilized funds; additionally, I am allocating only for postal/copying costs (up to 10,000 UAH).accepted

Outcome. The owner of the Central Market appealed regarding the inventory of the status of the land plot.

We have already prepared the legal framework for the Central Market, so the next step is to solidify it in the city council process: not to let the topic "dissolve" in general discussions about the coastal zone. I also see that Petro is recommending wording through "inventory of boundaries... history of decisions" - this is the correct, dry logic. Olha Demchenko suggests the Administrative Services Center process as a single package: it's convenient, but I don't want her initiative to turn into a waste of time. I will work to ensure that the documents become the basis for specific relevant actions, not "paper for paper's sake".

Choice. I choose option 1: Petro's dry wording plus the attached materials immediately move the topic into the legal field, without any appearance of circumvention. And I will handle the speed issue through parallel requests without conversation - if necessary, I will coordinate procedurally through short communication.

Statement: «"The Central Market must be protected not by slogans, but by documents. I am initiating an inventory of the boundaries and status of our plot and asking the city authorities to determine relevant steps based on the facts."»

Diary. 2026-12-19: Launched the next step - an appeal to the city council in the most "dry" wording, as Petro advised: boundaries/status/intended use/history of decisions, then relevant measures. It is necessary for the topic of the Central Market to be included in the action plan, not to get stuck. Remember: do not touch the budget in the wording, rely on facts and the document package.

Turn 69 December 2026Today, within the available UAH 6 million (without loans), I will pay within UAH 120-160 thousand for the technical coordination and reference summary of the Central Market documents: systematization of extracts on boundaries/cadastral data, confirmation of current purpose, chronology of decisions, and a brief report on "what any zoning change means for the market". I am taking the work through legal/engineering contractor preparation (without publishing names) to have a single package for Petro Onyshchenko at the output. Then I will send the package to Petro Onyshchenko and aim to have it linked to the relevant commission and future session materials without additional "legends".accepted

I'm already lucky: this week yielded a result in the form of an official request from CNAP without unnecessary expenses. But the feeling is simple: the noise around the embankment and land decisions is growing, and the market is always at the epicenter. I don't have high influence, so every step must be legally clean and well-linked to the agenda. Petro advised to "enter correctly" through a package of documents and a commission's conclusion - this is exactly what suits me. I need to take the next step: gather the paperwork into a single set so that tomorrow/at the next session it doesn't look like pressure, but like a procedure.

Choice. Option 1. The package of documents is my strongest tool, and it directly reduces the risk of "workarounds" and strengthens the position at the procedural level.

Diary. I bet on paper: I am ordering the systematization of Central Market documents into a single package for the commission and session. The goal is for any potential initiative around the market to sound in the legal field and with the correct procedure. I wrote to Petro about linking it to the agenda. In the next move, I want the meeting to confirm where exactly this package will "sit" on...

Turn 419 November 2026Today, I am preparing an additional technical request and cover letter for the Administrative Services Center (CNAP), based on the fact that the package for the Central Market will be ready tomorrow: I request to provide/confirm (within the available data) information regarding: 1) the current designated purpose and boundaries of the plots where the Central Market is located; 2) whether there are any ongoing projects to amend urban planning documentation/detailed plans in adjacent blocks that could affect the functional purpose; 3) a list of technical specifications/urban planning conditions issued in the last 12 months for the location with the risk of reformatting of driveways/zoning. Costs: 0 UAH (within previously allocated copies/stationery), processing - through CNAP after receiving the package tomorrow.accepted

The newspaper is promoting the embankment and the "100-meter zone" issue, while I have the Central Market and the threat of demolition for another project. I feel that what could trap us the most now is not a loud intention, but a quiet procedure: when someone starts approvals, projects, technical conditions, or changes the interpretation of boundaries. Olya Demchenko says the package of documents for the Central Market will be ready tomorrow - so, today we need to gather reference points: what specific decisions/lands could be affected, and with whom in the city to discuss this so that we are taken into account without unnecessary scandals. It is also important not to leave a "window" without a reaction - official materials should work ahead, not after everything has been decided.

Choice. I choose option 1: tomorrow we will receive the package of documents, so the correct sequence is to immediately fix the coordinates in the system and add the next official request so that we are not bypassed by the procedure. In parallel (without costs), I will send a short signal to Petro about the readiness to act within the legal framework.

Diary. 2026-11-09. Working ahead: tomorrow I will pick up the package of documents for the Central Market at CNAP and immediately prepare the next technical request regarding possible changes in adjacent urban planning decisions and any technical conditions/requirements that may change the functional purpose. I sent Petro a short signal about the intention to act procedurally, without scandal, with facts. Imp...

Turn 230 October 2026Today, through the administrative services center, I am submitting a package of requests (on behalf of the owner/user of the Central Market plots) to the city architecture and relevant registers: 1) extract/copies of urban planning documentation concerning the market plot and adjacent territories; 2) information on the current functional purpose and current council decisions on zoning/urban planning restrictions; 3) copies of documents regarding boundaries (cadastral data/technical documentation where our boundary is fixed); 4) an official response on the existence of any considered applications/initiatives to change the target purpose or develop detailed plans/planning projects adjacent to the market.

This starting month in the city is very business-oriented: Zinchenko is again pushing the concept of the embankment, Melnyk is pushing for a 100-meter zone, and therefore activity around "docking" large projects will grow. The Central Market is not the embankment, but any large shopping mall project nearby usually picks up adjacent plots/accesses/landscaping steps. I have low influence and medium reputation, so I cannot wait for someone to bring a letter "for familiarization." My bet is to increase the documentary density: to request official materials and fix our boundary/function, so that any attempts at "reinterpretation" become visible before the sessions. For the first move, it is important to do a simple thing: apply through the CNAP/departments + brief coordination with people who can be useful in the procedure.

Choice. I choose option 1: it gives me factual information in documents, and without it, all conversations remain in the air. In parallel, if there is a "brake" on the requests, I can promptly hit the procedure on the next move.

Diary. 2026-10-20: I went by facts. Today I am submitting a package of official requests for the Central Market through the CNAP: boundaries, current purpose, urban planning documents, and whether there are current initiatives/developments nearby. Budget for obtaining documents - 45 thousand UAH. In parallel, I ask Olena Babenko-Demchenko about the fastest document route. For the next meeting, I ask the city head...
