Markus Baumgartner, head of the Hohenbrunn-based company AEM Projekt München GmbH, has been stirring up dust in Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn for weeks with his plans to mine gravel on the Siegertsbrunn corridor.
Now the entrepreneur has presented the plans to the local council.
Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn - The rumor mill has been simmering for weeks.
One of the most persistent rumors has persisted that the entrepreneur would create the natural pool that many citizens wanted in return for the gravel extraction.
In fact, Baumgartner said in the local council that he had spoken to the natural swimming pool.
But the idea of realizing the bathroom on one of the surfaces came to nothing.
The planned gravel mining on a field on the border with Hohenbrunn near the north industrial area and on an area on Egmatinger Straße not far from the new fire brigade equipment house is designed for a total of 20 years.
The friends of natural pools want to realize their project as quickly as possible.
There is no natural pool deal
Mayor Mindy Konwitschny (SPD) also made it clear that the areas will definitely not become a natural pool.
After all, Baumgartner does not have a reason of his own.
A farmer from Siegertsbrunn is leasing the gravel mining area.
"It is very clear to me that none of you will welcome me with open arms," said Baumgartner.
After all, gravel mining, which often causes dirt, noise and traffic, has a bad reputation.
“We want to do better,” promised the entrepreneur.
When dismantling, you would only work with a single wheel loader - the quietest on the market.
In addition, you want to dam the engine compartment.
The mining areas are to be surrounded by a surrounding earth wall plus several meter wide flowering meadow strips.
A water mist generated with special machines will curb the formation of dust and the backfill material will be controlled in accordance with legal requirements.
Trucks should not drive through the town center
"We want to break down the gravel slowly and tolerably," emphasized Baumgartner.
For example, only one third of the six hectare area on the Muna is processed and then immediately recultivated.
On the other two thirds, agricultural cultivation is still possible during this time.
The dump trucks, which drive away the gravel and bring backfill material, should avoid the route through the center of the village, but drive via Luitpoldstrasse or Egmatinger Strasse.
Baumgartner promised that there would be no more than three loads an hour.
After his presentation, the local councils asked questions.
Luitgart Dittmann-Chylla (Greens) demanded that the operations manager's apartments in the nearby industrial park should be taken into account in terms of noise protection.
Her parliamentary group colleague Gudrun Hackl-Stoll pointed out that work should not begin before 7 a.m.
"That only applies to a purely residential area," replied Baumgartner.
During the week you work up to ten hours.
Roland Spingler had concerns because the trucks drive onto the street at one location right next to the industrial park and at the other location near the fire department exit.
Controversial location near the pilgrimage church
Andrea Hanisch (UB) rigorously rejected the second location, which is only a few hundred meters away from the pilgrimage church of St. Leonhard, the cemetery and sports and leisure facilities.
Removing gravel near this sensitive area is a “no-go”, she said to the applause of the audience.
"Many in the local council consider that to be critical," added Konwitschny.
Baumgartner was ready to talk about the second area and withdrew the corresponding application for the time being.
Konwitschny advised a willingness to compromise: “The district office has recommended that we negotiate well.” A decision on gravel mining is to be made next week.
