Истринский городской суд Московской области в составе: председательствующего судьи Климёновой Ю.В.

при секретаре Е.В., рассмотрев в открытом судебном заседании гражданское дело по иску О.М. к М.Р., третье лицо ДНП о пересадке (или вырубке) деревьев,

установил:

В Истринский городской суд обратилась О.М. с исковым заявлением к М.Р., третье лицо ДНП об обязании ответчика пересадить деревья, растущие на его участке: высокорослые — на расстояние не менее 4 метра от границы участка истца, среднерослые — на расстояние не менее 2 м от границы с участком истца.

В обоснование заявленных требований истица заявила, что высокорослые и среднерослые деревья высажены на участке ответчика с нарушением п. 6.7 Правил «Планировка и застройка территории садоводческих (дачных) объединений граждан, здания и сооружения» (СНиП 30-02-97).

В судебном заседании представители истца исковые требования поддержали в полном объеме, просили об их удовлетворении.

Представитель ответчика в судебном заседании против исковых требований возражал, по его мнению, истцом не доказан факт причинения вреда посаженными деревьями, кроме того, ответчиком был приобретен участок с уже посаженными деревьями, которые на данный момент имеют высоту 7 м и могут больше не вырасти.

Третье лицо в судебное заседание не явилось, извещено надлежащим образом. В порядке ст. 167 ГПК РФ дело рассмотрено в отсутствие третьего лица, извещенного надлежащим образом о месте и времени судебного заседания.

Выслушав доводы участвующих в деле, специалиста, исследовав материалы дела, дав юридическую оценку собранным по делу доказательствам, суд находит требования истца не обоснованными и не подлежащими удовлетворению.

Судом установлено, что истец является собственником земельного участка под дачное строительство, общей площадью 1400 кв.м., расположенного по адресу: (адрес), что подтверждается Свидетельством о государственной регистрации прав от (Дата обезличена) 50 НА (№)2 (л.д. 7).

Согласно Выписке из ЕГРП от (Дата обезличена) (№) М.Р. на праве собственности принадлежит земельный участок, категория земель: земли сельскохозяйственного назначения, площадь: 1400 кв.м., расположенный по адресу: (адрес)

В силу п. 1 ст. 10 ГК РФ не допускаются действия граждан и юридических лиц, осуществляемые исключительно с намерением причинить вред другому лицу, а также злоупотребление правом в иных формах.

Согласно ст. 12 ГК РФ защита гражданских прав осуществляется путем восстановления положения, существовавшего до нарушения права, и пресечения действий, нарушающих право или создающих угрозу его нарушения

На основании ст. 304 ГК РФ собственник может требовать устранения всяких нарушений его права, хотя бы эти нарушения и не были соединены с лишением владения.

Как усматривается из искового заявления, О.М.

Всё о санитарных нормах для жилых домов

заявлены негаторные требования об устранении препятствий в пользовании его земельным участком, которые, по мнению истца, заключаются в том, что на участке ответчика высажены высокорослые деревья.

Негаторный иск может быть удовлетворен лишь при доказанности следующих обстоятельств: наличия права собственности у истца, а также факта нарушения его прав собственника обусловленного действиями ответчика и продолжающимися на момент предъявления иска. Чинимые ответчиком препятствия должны носить не мнимый, а реальный характер. Нарушение должно затрагивать право истца на имущество не косвенно, а непосредственно. При этом истец должен доказать, что иных способов устранения препятствий, кроме указанных в иске, не существует. Способы защиты по негаторному иску должны быть разумными и соразмерными.

Таким образом, суд разрешает гражданское дело по имеющимся в деле материалам, при этом суд учитывает, что объективной истины по делу в ходе судебного разбирательства были использованы все имеющиеся у него возможности.

Согласно ч.1 ст. 56 ГПК РФ каждая сторона должна доказать те обстоятельства, на которые она ссылается как на основания своих требований и возражений.

Предъявляя настоящие исковые требования, истица заявила о том, что спорные деревья являются высокорослыми и в нарушение СНиП 30-02-97 высажены на участке ответчика на недопустимом расстоянии от забора соседнего участка, принадлежащего истице.

Согласно п. 6.7 Свода Правил Планировка и застройка территорий садоводческих (дачных) объединений граждан, здания и сооружения (Актуализированная редакция СНиП 30-02-97) минимальные расстояния до границы соседнего участка по санитарно-бытовым условиям должны быть от стволов высокорослых деревьев — 4 м, среднерослых — 2м, кустарника — 1 м.

Из представленного в материалы дела Заключения кадастрового инженера следует, что на земельном участке (№), принадлежащего ответчику высажены 5 хвойных деревьев, два из которых имеют высоту 7 м, а остальные: 3,36 м, 5, 79 м, 6, 77 м. При этом, расстояние от фактического забора между земельными участками до многолетних насаждений составляет около 2 м.

Вместе с тем, истец не представил суду допустимых и достоверных доказательств того, что указанные хвойные деревья являются высокорослыми: представленная в материалы дела справка, л.д. 66 не является допустимым доказательством, поскольку представлена лицом, не являющимся экспертом, суду не известны его специальность, уровень его образования и квалификация.

Представленное в судебное заседание заключение специалиста от (Дата обезличена) суд также оценивает критически, поскольку специалист делая однозначный вывод о том, что деревья являются высокорослыми, указывает, что в действующих нормативно-правовых актах не содержится расшифровки понятий «высокорослые» и «среднерослые» деревья, а по размерам достигаемым деревьями при разрешении декоративных задач различают деревья первой величины (20м и выше), деревья второй величины (10-20м), деревья третьей величины (5-10м), тогда как деревья, высаженные на земельном участке истца, имеют высоту 7 м, 3,36 м, 5, 79 м, 6, 77 м, то есть не превышают величину деревьев третьей величины.

Вывод специалиста о том, что опад хвои с высокорослых деревьев, растущих с нарушением минимальных расстояний до границы соседнего участка, может осыпаться на участок истца, загрязняя его, носит вероятный, предположительный характер, заявленные факты, возможно, произойдут в будущем при наличии определённых обстоятельств, которые могут и не наступить.

Таким образом, суд пришел к выводу, что О.М. не представлено доказательств того, что хвойными насаждениями на участке ответчика нарушены её права как собственника земельного участка, либо ей причинен реальный вред, в связи с чем, исковые требования не подлежат удовлетворению.

На основании изложенного, руководствуясь ст.ст. 194-199 ГПК РФ, суд

решил:

исковые требования О.М. к М.Р. о пересадке (или вырубке) деревьев, растущих на земельном участке (№) в ДНП, высокорослые на расстояние не менее 4 м от границы с участком (№) в ДНП, среднерослые на расстояние не менее 2 м от границы с участком (№) в ДНП — оставить без удовлетворения.

На решение суда может быть подана апелляционная жалоба в Московский областной суд через Истринский городской суд Московской области в течение месяца.

Thanks to their work and the work done by other researchers, including Dr. Gary Watson, Dr. Carl Whitcomb, Dr. Richard Harris, and Dr. Ed Gilman, long-held landscape practices were modified or changed in order to improve overall plant health in the managed landscape setting.90003 90002 Improper planting techniques, particularly planting too deep, were found to be a major cause of tree mortality in managed landscapes. In addition, research showed that the accepted practices governing the size and shape of the planting hole, nature of the backfill mixture, pruning at planting time, tree wrapping, etc. required some modification, paving the way for new planting guidelines. 90003 90006 90007 Site Evaluation 90008 90009 90002 Before choosing and planting trees and shrubs, consideration and careful attention should be given to the site itself.Each site should be evaluated for the following: 90003 90012 90013 Slope 90014 90013 Hardiness Zone 90014 90013 Soil Type 90014 90013 Exposure 90014 90013 Soil compaction 90014 90013 Amount of light 90014 90013 Drainage 90014 90013 Space or size 90014 90013 Soil pH / Nutrient availability 90014 90031 90006 90007 Plant Selection 90008 90009 90002 After site evaluation, select plant material that will adapt well to that location. Match the needs of the plant to the site.When choosing plant material, it is also important to know: cultural requirements, growth habit and ultimate size, maintenance needs, pest (disease & insect) resistance, function and potential invasiveness. 90003 90002 The debate continues on the use of «native» plants over «introduced» or «exotic» species. Where appropriate, choose the best plant for a given location. This choice may or may not be a «native» plant. Many urban and suburban landscape sites have been so modified and the microclimate so changed through the placement of buildings, underground wires, pavement, driveways, traffic, soil compaction, etc., That some native plants may not perform as well as non-native plants. 90003 90002 Do not choose plant material based solely on the merit of its native status. Consider selecting plants that: have no significant pest problems, are not invasive, are drought tolerant, have extended seasonal appeal and that will thrive in the selected site. Match the needs of the plant to the site and choose the «right plant for the right location», but also consider existing plant communities and avoid planting monocultures.90003 90006 90007 Site Preparation 90008 90009 90002 One of the most common errors in tree planting is that the rootball is either planted too deep or too high, both of which can cause serious problems. 90003 90002 When planting holes are dug deeper than the height of the rootball, the plant often settles, resulting in the trunk flare and the structural roots being planted too deep. When roots are planted too deep, plants often decline and do not thrive. 90003 90002 It is recommended that the planting hole depth be no deeper than the height of the root ball, as measured from the trunk flare to the bottom of the rootball.To properly plant trees and shrubs, (especially balled and burlapped (B & B) plant material, but also container stock), start by locating the point at which the trunk flare begins. In some cases, the trunk flare junction may be buried in the top of the rootball and it may be necessary to loosen the burlap or soil at the top of the ball to properly locate the junction. Measuring the height from the trunk flare to the bottom of the rootball will give the correct planting hole depth. 90003 90002 Alternatively, if the trunk flare is not well-developed, the rootball can be probed for structural roots using a surveyor’s chaining pin or similar tool.Generally, the uppermost structural roots within the rootball should be planted within 1 — 3 inches of the soil surface, measured 3 — 4 inches from the trunk. 90003 90002 In many past instances, planting holes were often not only dug too deep, but were also not very wide. However, research revealed that the fibrous or absorbing roots of most woody ornamentals are usually found within the top 6 to 12 inches of soil and that root development will often extend beyond the canopy or dripline. Based on that research, recommendations were formulated that the planting area be loosened and aerated approximately 3 times the diameter of the rootball, and 3 to 5 times the rootball diameter if the site soil is compacted.The wider planting hole should also have sloping sides (See diagram below). 90003 90006 90007 Setting the Plant 90008 90009 90002 Try to maintain the integrity of the rootball until it is secure in the planting hole. In the event that some of the soil should fall away from the roots, simply proceed with the planting, taking care to ensure that the roots do not dry out from sun or wind. 90003 90002 Once the planting hole is ready, carefully set the rootball so that the trunk flare is 1 — 2 inches above the existing grade.Once the plant is properly placed in the hole, cut away and remove all rope, twine, burlap and any plastic or synthetic materials that will not decompose. Treated burlap is sometimes left in place, but it may not decompose very quickly and could impede root development. If a decision is made to leave treated burlap in place, remove as much as possible, or at least the top one-third covering the rootball. Synthetic burlap needs to be removed entirely. Although still subject to debate, remove as much of the wire basket as possible, or at least the top 8 to 16 inches of the wire basket, once the rootball is stable in the planting hole.Do not leave any protruding points of wire, which could possibly cause injury to people, pets etc. 90003 90006 90007 Backfilling the Planting Hole 90008 90009 90002 Backfilling with soil dug from the planting hole is often preferable to mixing the soil with large amounts of organic soil amendments such as peat moss, compost, etc. The addition of an organic soil amendment may be called for if the existing soil is of poor quality, such as excessively sandy or heavy clay soils, or those consisting of undesirable fill material.Alternatively, quality topsoil, similar in texture to the existing soil, may be brought in and used for backfill. 90003 90002 While backfilling the hole, it has been customary to tamp the soil heavily to avoid leaving large air pockets. However, this practice often results in the soil being packed so firmly as to drive out all the fine air spaces needed for a well-aerated soil. Roots require oxygen to thrive and will usually decline in a compacted, anaerobic soil. An alternative to tamping the soil would be to water the soil halfway through the backfill process and allow it to drain.When the water has drained away, resume backfilling and water again thoroughly. If the practice of tamping the soil is chosen, it should be done lightly so as to not compact the soil in the planting hole. 90003 90002 To complete the backfilling, smooth the surface soil and check to ensure that the trunk flare is completely exposed. (The structural roots should be within the top 3 inches of soil as measured 4 inches from the trunk.) Water the rootball and planting area immediately after backfilling.90003 90006 90007 Watering 90008 90009 90002 Water is a critical factor in the successful establishment of landscape plants. Excessive or insufficient water will impede the formation and / or elongation of new roots. Immediately after planting, water the planting area and water the rootball deeply; 2-3 gallons of water per inch trunk diameter has been recommended. Depending on soil type, rootball size, weather, location etc., the rootballs of newly planted trees may need water every day, 2-3 times per week or once a week; more frequent irrigation may be needed during the summer season or in times of extended drought.A watering schedule needs to be established, as the important thing to remember is that the rootball and planting area need water on a regular basis for the tree to become established. Newly planted trees, with their newly developing roots, must receive adequate water during the entire first growing season, right up until dormancy in the late fall, to become established. Rainfall alone may not provide the adequate, consistent moisture necessary for establishment. 90003 90002 On larger caliper trees (2-inch caliper and greater), consistent and frequent watering is necessary beyond the first growing season.According to research, «in the Northern part of the U.S., the establishment period, for recently transplanted trees, is approximately one year for each one-inch of trunk caliper» (Dr. Gary Watson, Morton Arboretum). For example, a 2-inch caliper tree would require approximately 2 years for re-establishment, meaning that the tree would need to be watered weekly (or more depending on weather, etc.) for two years or two growing seasons. 90003 90006 90007 Fertilizing 90008 90009 90002 According to research, «fertilization is not likely to be effective during the first growing season, as long as there is no nutrient deficiency» (Dr.Gary Watson). The addition of fertilizer and limestone should be made according to recommendations based on a soil test. Avoid placing water-soluble (quick-release) nitrogen fertilizer directly in the planting hole as this may cause injury to roots. If needed, a slow-release or organic form of nitrogen could be mixed into the planting area or be applied on the soil surface around the tree basin. 90003 90006 90007 Staking 90008 90009 90002 While there are many opinions on the method and value of staking trees at planting time, staking may not be necessary for all trees.Trunk strength, size of the canopy, wind direction and site traffic problems should all be considered before staking a tree. Research has shown that rigidly staked trees may develop a smaller root system and decreased trunk taper. If the rootball is stable in the soil, then it may not need to be staked. However, if the rootball is unstable and staking is required, try to attach stakes low on the trunk and allow some sway. In most instances, stakes should be removed after one growing season. 90003 90006 90007 Mulching 90008 90009 90002 Mulching is a cultural practice that can be of benefit in the landscape when done correctly.Mulching helps reduce weeds, moderate soil temperatures, conserve soil moisture in the root zone and add an aesthetic quality to the landscape. However, improper mulching can impair plant health and may lead to the decline of the plant material. 90003 90002 Organic mulch should be placed over the planting area, no more than 2 — 3 inches deep, in a wide band approximately 3 times the diameter of the rootball, tapering to 1 2 inches over the rootball, and not be touching or placed against the trunk.Mulch piled up against the trunk may cause bark decay and may create entry points for insects or disease organisms. Mulch piled against the trunk may also provide a refuge for rodents, such as voles, which may then feed on and girdle the bark. 90007 Avoid «volcano mulching» 90008 where mulch is placed high around the base of the tree trunk and resembles a volcano. 90003 90006 90007 Pruning 90008 90009 90002 After transplanting, prune only broken or damaged branches, or to correct and improve structure.Extensive top pruning to compensate for root loss is no longer recommended. It is important to leave as much foliage on the tree as possible because carbohydrates and other products produced by photosynthesis in the leaves are necessary for root system regeneration and development. 90003 90006 90007 Tree Wrapping 90008 90009 90002 The bark on a tree or shrub is as important as skin to an animal. Bark acts as a barrier to exclude insects and disease organisms from the vascular system, which lies directly under the bark.Some bark injuries may occur because of damage from the sun (sunscald) or temperature extremes (frost cracks). For many years, it was a common practice to automatically use tree wrap on newly planted or thin-barked trees in an effort to reduce sun or temperature damage to the bark. 90003 90002 Research has found that some tree wraps may not provide the protection that was originally intended. In experiments using plastic tree guards on dogwoods, large numbers of dogwood borers were found under the guards while few were found in trees without guards.In addition, some tree wraps were found to retain excess moisture beneath the wrap. This may encourage tree decay and fungal or bacterial growth, especially if there are pre-existing wounds in the trunk. 90003 90002 If tree wrap is to be used, it is recommended that the appropriate material be selected, checked frequently, and the wrap be removed during periods of active growth. 90003 90002 It is hoped that these guidelines, together with the selection of appropriate and healthy plant material, will be of help in promoting improved plant health in the landscape.90003 90002 90123 Figure 1.

However strange the concept of vertical farming might seem to many startups, it is an ingenious method to produce food in environments where arable land is unavailable or rare at the most. 90003 90002 This method is especially handy for challenging environments such as deserts, mountainside towns, and cities where many diverse types of vegetables and fruits are grown using precision agriculture methods and skyscraper-like designs.90003 90002 Vertical farming is a revolutionary and more sustainable method of agriculture than its counterpart as it lowers the requirement of water to up to 70% and also saves considerable space and soil. This innovation in the field of agriculture with sustainability as its motto is making more and more heads turn today with its eco-friendly methods and making the possibility of farming real in difficult environs. 90003 90002 Let us check out the top 13 vertical farming innovations that could end up in your plate in the near future! 90003 90010 90011 1.Hydroponics — Growing Plants Without Soil 90012 90013 90014 Source: 90015 Oregon State University / Flickr 90016 90002 Hydroponics is a predominant system of growing that is used in vertical farming, and it is slowly but steadily, gaining importance. It involves around the growth of plants in solutions of nutrients that are essentially free of soil. 90003 90002 In this vertical farming innovation, the roots of the plants are submerged in a solution of nutrients. This is frequently circulated and monitored in order to ensure that there is the maintenance of the correct chemical composition in the nutrient solution.90003 90010 90011 2. Aeroponics — Growing Plants With No Soil and Very Little Water 90012 90013 90025 Source: 90015 MyAeroponics / Wikimedia Commons 90016 90002 The innovation of Aeroponics in the field of vertical farming was made by The National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA). This sustainable growing technique was invented by NASA in the 1990s when it was looking for efficient techniques to grow plants in space. 90003 90002 This technique was then coined 90015 Aeroponics 90016 and was defined as «growing plants in an air / mist environment with no soil and very little water.»However, these systems are yet to rise from an anomaly in the world of vertical farming even though they continue to create interest. 90003 90002 It is undoubtedly the most efficient way in vertical farming as it uses a staggering 90% less amount of water than the most efficient hydroponics systems too. It has also been observed that the plants that are grown with the aeroponics system uptake more vitamins and minerals, thus making the plants potentially healthier and more nutritious. 90003 90010 90011 3.Aquaponics — An Ecosystem that Promotes Plants and Fish Farming Together 90012 90013 90040 Source: 90015 Kate Field / Flickr 90016 90002 An Aquaponics System is much like the Hydroponics System but is only better. It aims to combine the fish and plants in the same ecosystem. In this system, fish grow in indoor ponds and produce a nutrient-rich waste that further acts as a food source for the plants grown in vertical farms. 90003 90002 The plants, doing their part, purify and filter the wastewater that gets recycled directly to the fish ponds.Aquaponics is definitely used at a smaller scale than most vertical farming innovations. 90003 90002 However, it is still used by many commercial vertical farms that wish to produce just a few fast-growing crops instead of including the component of aquaponics. As a result, the production and economics issues are simplified and it also maximizes efficiency. 90003 90002 That said, this closed-cycle system might become more popular with the popularity of new standardized aquaponic systems. 90003 90010 90011 4.Lokal — Serving Fresh Food Right Where It’s Grown 90012 90013 90055 Source: 90015 Space10 90016 90002 The Space10 innovation lab of IKEA came up with the idea of ​​Lokal that uses a Hydroponic farming system. It also uses LEDs to have your kitchen garden in stackable trays. 90003 90002 According to the designers of Lokal, the greens grow three times faster in Lokal than traditional gardens. They are also testing another innovation wherein they will integrate sensors into the growing trays, which will help you check the status of the crops with the help of smartphones or Google Homes.90003 90002 In the long run, they also want to use machine learning to collect and analyze data from the people using Lokal to assess the productivity. This innovation can really help people grow fresh food in their own local mini-farms. 90003 90010 90011 5.

What is deforestation? Find out the causes, effects, and solutions.90003 90002 90003 90002 90003 90002 PUBLISHED 90027 February 7, 2019 90028 90003 90002 As the world seeks to slow the pace of climate change, preserve wildlife, and support billions of people, trees inevitably hold a major part of the answer. Yet the mass destruction of trees-deforestation-continues, sacrificing the long-term benefits of standing trees for short-term gain.90003 90002 Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area, but they are disappearing at an alarming rate. Between 1990 and 2016, the world lost 502,000 square miles (1.3 million square kilometers) of forest, according to the World Bank-an area larger than South Africa. Since humans started cutting down forests, 46 percent of trees have been felled, according to a 2015 study in the journal Nature. About 17 percent of the Amazonian rainforest has been destroyed over the past 50 years, and losses recently have been on the rise.90003 90002 We need trees for a variety of reasons, not least of which is that they absorb not only the carbon dioxide that we exhale, but also the heat-trapping greenhouse gases that human activities emit. As those gases enter the atmosphere, global warming increases, a trend scientists now prefer to call climate change. Tropical tree cover alone can provide 23 percent of the climate mitigation needed over the next decade to meet goals set in the Paris Agreement in 2015 року, according to one estimate.90003 .
