Building owner remains “dog’s litter box saves

A hot needle is used to work on the "obere lehenteile" development and green space plan knitted in pettstadt so that future builders can submit their building applications by the end of 2020 and secure the building subsidy from the state. In order not to lose any time, a draft plan was approved by the municipal council these days, which was not even available on paper yet.

The development plan, which will soon be put up for public comment, must now be adapted to the resolution by the city planner nadja seebach from the office wittmann, valier and partner.

In fact, at the last minute, so to speak, a striking detail was removed from the draft by a curious 6:6 decision: A new "etterweg", the plan to create a green strip up to ten meters wide, winding north-south through the construction area, did not find a majority in the municipal council.

The path has done quite well on paper and would have been necessary to meet a condition for the "accelerated approval procedure" to be fulfilled. In the approximately five-hectare building area, the total sealed area for main residential buildings must not exceed 10,000 square meters. This green strip would have reduced the size of some of the building plots to such an extent that, taking into account the floor area ratio, the criterion of 9800 square meters was achieved.

No additional costs

Six councillors wanted the builders but the additional cost of the public road – more than 3000 euros per plot – and also, as alexander hummel said "a dog’s litter box" between the rows of gardens. As a result, 700 square meters of building land must now be compensated for. In addition the enlargement of the public need surface, which is kept free at the southern edge of the building area, to the forest, is thought of. In addition, an adjoining plot of land, which is to be built on with a multi-family house, is reduced in such a way that the bill comes up again. If necessary, a few more parking spaces will be designated for visitors.

It is already apparent that future developers will have to be prepared for higher development costs. According to mayor jochen hack (G), they will be more than 20 percent higher than in the zwiesler weg development area. The reason for this is the considerable additional expenditure for the drainage of the surface water. Development planner hans-joachim brandt referred to a subsoil expertise according to which infiltration of roof and street water is not possible.

A lot of money for water

Therefore, the rainwater has to be led to a packed cistern at the northern edge of the construction area. Here it is buffered and, with the help of a pump, gradually fed to the surface drainage system of mainbergstrabe, whose capacity is limited to 50 liters/second. In addition, a flood basin will be formed that can store further water. This system will gobble up around 1.5 million euros, some 600,000 euros more than the infiltration solution for zwiesler weg, explained specialist planner brandt.

50 building rights are to be designated on 51,500 square meters in the upper part of the fiefdom. 90 interested parties have already registered at the town hall. The marketing of the building plots, most of which are around 500 square meters in size, will begin in the middle of next year.
