Downtown Willemstad with its many monuments, culture is historically very<\/p>\n
valuable and unique in the region. Also outside the city spread out over the island<\/p>\n

therefore adopted a policy in 1990 monument in the Monument Plan.<\/p>\n
The basic principle of this policy is the preservation of monuments, including the<\/p>\n
designation of buildings as protected monuments. This policy has its legal basis<\/p>\n
given by adopting the regulation Monuments island Cura\u00e7ao (A. 1990<\/p>\n
no.5). This regulation includes a system of rights and obligations.<\/p>\n
In 2002, the island’s heritage policy has been updated by the Plan di<\/p>\n
Monumento 2000+.<\/p>\n
protected Monument<\/p>\n
As a protected monument which buildings can be designated at least 50 years<\/p>\n
old and considered to be of general interest because they have one or more values<\/p>\n
which are described in the Monuments island Regulation 1990. these values<\/p>\n
beauty, artistic value, significance for science, history of the country and<\/p>\n

The selection of protecting monuments is additionally also looked at the<\/p>\n
following three criteria:<\/p>\n
?? Monumental ensemble value.

\n?? Cultural-historical value<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Monument Description<\/p>\n
To protect every monument is made a description. In this description,<\/p>\n
described parts of the building to be protected. It is also<\/p>\n
mentioned which of the above-mentioned values apply, and therefore what it<\/p>\n

In particular, if there is what is going to be changed to the building, it is important<\/p>\n
first consult the description.<\/p>\n
Designate a protected monument<\/p>\n
In most cases it is the island government designating a building to<\/p>\n
protected monument. However, stakeholders such as owners, can a<\/p>\n
request to protect a building as a monument.<\/p>\n
Owners who can not agree with the designation within a six weeks<\/p>\n
objection submitted to the Executive Council or within six weeks<\/p>\n
filing appeal before the Court of First Instance.<\/p>\n
Memorial Public Registry<\/p>\n

The government started in 1993 with the designation of buildings as protected<\/p>\n
monument. In total, in the center of historic Willemstad 780 buildings<\/p>\n

The Monuments Island Regulation includes a system of rights and obligations.<\/p>\n
An owner has the obligation to restore a protected monument, if necessary,<\/p>\n
and maintain. Once designated a protected monument they may<\/p>\n
buildings no changes to their historical value, as defined in the<\/p>\n
description, can negate. For every procedure that leads to a change in which<\/p>\n

In addition, the obligation remains even for protected monuments, before the start<\/p>\n
of the construction work to apply for a Permission. In exceptional<\/p>\n
Where an owner wants to demolish a listed building, also must submit a<\/p>\n

The Foundation Memorial Fund Cura\u00e7ao<\/p>\n
The Foundation Memorial Fund Curacao is a “non-profit” organization established in August<\/p>\n

Monuments, within the framework of the policy objectives of the Island Territory of Cura\u00e7ao,<\/p>\n
by providing financing facilities and providing the necessary information on<\/p>\n
the field of restoration and preservation. How come Monuments Fund to its funds<\/p>\n
Monument Fund Curacao issued on behalf of the Executive Council grants and<\/p>\n
restoration mortgages. To do this, the Memorial Fund funds<\/p>\n
required, which involves the following four funds.<\/p>\n
?? Funds under the Dutch development cooperation with the<\/p>\n
Netherlands Antilles be made available.<\/p>\n
?? Funds are provided by the Island Territory of Cura\u00e7ao.<\/p>\n
?? “Funding” by local financial institutions.<\/p>\n
?? “Revolving fund” built up by its own operating result.<\/p>\n
When is the Memorial Fund for an owner of interest?<\/p>\n
in the context of implementing the Monumentenfonds (MFC) is provided with the<\/p>\n
Monument Plan received the “window function”. That is, a<\/p>\n
owner of a protected monument which restoration or maintenance of his property<\/p>\n
considering initially should contact with the MFC.<\/p>\n
Here he can get all the information on both technical and financial.<\/p>\n
The tasks of the Monument Fund include the following:<\/p>\n
?? providing restoration and maintenance grants and loans to private<\/p>\n

?? The application is for the monument permit (license restoration) when<\/p>\n

Grants and loans<\/p>\n
Under Article 13 of the monuments island Cura\u00e7ao regulation grants<\/p>\n
Cura\u00e7ao Monument Fund Foundation, on behalf of the Executive Council, a contribution to the<\/p>\n
repair and maintenance of protected monuments. This contribution is given in the<\/p>\n
form of a grant and loan. Here the MFC is being the force<\/p>\n
Multiannual Subsidy Conservation (the subsidy), which<\/p>\n
periodically determined by the Executive Board, to be respected.<\/p>\n
The aim of subsidy is to contribute to the conservation of<\/p>\n
monumental value of the protected monument.<\/p>\n
Monument Fund always provides a “mix” of grant and loan. Which means<\/p>\n
that there has never provided funding alone. If use is made of the<\/p>\n
Grant applicants should also be part of the restoration in<\/p>\n
borrow Monument Fund in the form of a restoration mortgage.<\/p>\n
Eligible costs – Subsidy basis<\/p>\n
Eligible costs are those costs that have to be made to the original<\/p>\n
restoring monuments. In other words, the costs of maintenance and repair<\/p>\n
which are necessary for the conservation of historic values. This<\/p>\n
monumental values are specified, in principle, in the description which monument<\/p>\n
has been prepared by designating the property a protected monument.<\/p>\n
Indirect restoration, such as architect fees, overhead costs of the contractor,<\/p>\n
construction insurance, etc., are also eligible to the extent they relate<\/p>\n
have on the protected part of the monument.<\/p>\n
The total eligible costs, both direct and indirect, the subsidy basis are<\/p>\n
called. The subsidy amount is a percentage of the funding base.<\/p>\n
Then there are the non-eligible costs. These are usually those costs to<\/p>\n
have with today’s requirements such as electricity, air conditioning, modern plumbing and<\/p>\n
tile work. Also, costs for the recovery of subsequent extensions that are not in the description<\/p>\n
included are ineligible. Of these costs is not a subsidy<\/p>\n
provided.<\/p>\n
Grant and loan rates<\/p>\n
The amount of the subsidy amount depends on the future role of the<\/p>\n
building.<\/p>\n
?? Useful Function – 60%<\/p>\n
Given the monument a residential function than the height of the grant 60%<\/p>\n
of the eligible costs. The other 40% of the eligible costs should<\/p>\n
“Obliged” to borrow at the Monument Fund.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Non-residential purposes (commercial) – 40%<\/p>\n
Get the monument no residential function than the amount of the subsidy is 40%<\/p>\n
the eligible costs. The serve other 60% of the eligible costs<\/p>\n
“Obliged” to borrow at the Monument Fund.<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n
In very special cases, such as public monuments where no<\/p>\n
commercial purposes are pursued, such as churches, are higher<\/p>\n
grant rates possible.<\/p>\n
Get the monument than the subsidy rates are a mixed function<\/p>\n
in proportion to the floor areas of different functions.<\/p>\n
Restoration Mortgage<\/p>\n
In addition to the eligible costs in the form of a grant and “compulsory loans” are<\/p>\n
also to finance the ineligible costs through the Monument Fund in the form of<\/p>\n
a so-called additional loan. The loans ( “mandatory” and supplementary) are<\/p>\n
provided in the form of a mortgage which restoration so the monument as<\/p>\n
collateral is to be inserted.<\/p>\n
The interest rate of the restoration mortgage is 9% with a minimum duration of<\/p>\n
5 years and a maximum term of 15 years for properties with a commercial function and<\/p>\n
up to 20 years for buildings used for domestic purposes.<\/p>\n
Of course, the credit worthiness of the applicant will always play a role in the<\/p>\n
assessment of the restoration mortgage.<\/p>\n
One month after completion of the restoration project is to be started<\/p>\n
repayment of the mortgage restoration.<\/p>\n
