What is happening now on the grounds of the burned down riding hall in Icking?
The property owner is Abfalter GmbH, whose boss died on September 11th.
Icking
- Vigdis Nipperdey from the Ickinger Initiative would like to rethink the plans for the site of the former riding arena on Isarweg.
However, your application to suspend the development and zoning plan procedure was rejected by the local council on Monday.
The background to Nipperdey's advance is that the owner of the property, Johann Abfalter, died on September 11th.
Mayor Verena Reithmann (Independent Citizen List Icking, UBI) said that the contracting partner of the municipality had always been Abfalter GmbH and Co. KG, not Johann Abfalter senior personally, which is why there was no reason to “set everything to zero”, as Nipperdey put it would have.
In the opinion of Nipperdey's parliamentary group colleague Dr Otto Güllich, however, the project was "strongly influenced by Mr Abfalter".
The next generation may decide differently.
As reported, the mineral water company Abfalter (St. Leonhards Quellen), based in the Traunstein district, wants to build a facility with around 40 apartments and an office building on the area of the riding school that burned down in summer 2018.
There is a local prospect for the office.
An urban development contract was signed with the municipality, which stipulates that half of the apartments are to be occupied by local residents at socially acceptable rents.
The first architectural designs were presented at a public event last year.
The next step would be to draw up a so-called project-related development plan.
Is the ward council really happy with the current planning?
Does a complex with around 50 apartments fit into the landscape protection area?

“Is the local council really happy with the current planning?
Does a complex with around 50 apartments fit into the landscape protection area? ”Nipperdey asked the group.
The opinions of the local councils are different.
Third Mayor Laura von Beckerath-Leismüller (Greens) welcomed the application.
For them, too, the facility does not represent “any local development,” she said.
Julian Chucholowski (SPD) also wants to "take a step back".
Second Mayor Claudia Roederstein (UBI), on the other hand, said she thought it was a shame that all previous considerations were being called into question.
You have to think about details like the driveway, but not about the need for affordable living space.
Von Beckerath-Leismüller countered the accusation by Matthias Ertl (party-free voter community Icking, PWG) that the newly elected councilors wanted to “throw everything overboard” by saying that they had been against massive development in the election campaign.
Of course, she continues to take this position.
Sabrina Stör (Greens) said that one could "take all the time" with the dimensions of the project.
She suggested discussing the area on Isarweg in the planned workshop of the local council on local development.
However, this was rejected because it would take too much time.
The topic should be dealt with in a separate meeting or a working group.
