The Tölz city council is sharply critical of the district building authority.
It is primarily about the ever-increasing land prices.
Bad Tölz - Even the action on Schützenstrasse astonished the Tölz city councils: There the district office had promoted the housing plans of a Cologne property developer against the express will of the city.
In the Ketteler-Ring case, it now seems to be the case that the district building authority prefers to deliberately avoid a dispute with a property developer and give in than support the city.
Because of this, the city council now put harsh criticism of the authority of District Administrator Josef Niedermaier.
But let's start from the beginning: A Munich property developer had bought a building in the district, which was characterized by rather small-scale development, and, in the opinion of the city, wanted to enforce an excessively lavish building permit there.
Latest version: a ten-unit apartment building that the city rejected.
Now one had to discover with astonishment that the district building authority is threatening to replace the communal agreement.
"Helpers in the real estate industry"
According to the authority, the building project fits into the surroundings according to the extent of the structural use.
In addition, the district office recognizes a reference case in a “three and four-in-hand man”, according to the Tölz building authority manager Christian Fürstberger.
The municipal building authority still regards the level of structural use as exceeded and does not recognize any reference case.
A semi-detached house alone is justified, nothing more.
In order to be legally on safe ground, according to Mayor Ingo Mehner, a development plan is now being drawn up.
The city council agreed unanimously and imposed a ban on changes to freeze the status quo.
If, by the way, the builder responds to the city's ideas (semi-detached house), he can build despite the ban on changes, Fürstberger corrected an often-cherished misunderstanding.
Legal battle is likely
Not all councilors were sure this was the right way to go.
Especially since a legal dispute is likely, as Filiz Cetin (SPD) said.
Anton Mayer (CSU) recalled the city's legal defeat in the Bruckfeld building issue and asked whether Fürstberger would also pay his obolus if the city lost.
The addressee did not allow himself to be pushed into the defensive role.
To predict a judgment is not possible.
"But we will use all of the know-how we have so that we can survive in court."
René Mühlberger (CSU) made it clear what it was about.
"If that goes through up there, we have a reference case for the further development in the quarter." He is therefore grateful that the administration is tackling the case.
“Persistence in the wrong thing must not be rewarded.” Mühlberger was disappointed by the district administration.
"I would expect more support there."

Franz Mayer (Greens) formulated the tone much more sharply.
He described the district building authority as “helper in the real estate industry”, which “simply overrides the city's will to plan”.
"This authority is not there for the people who live here."
Mayer also gave the example of Schützenstrasse and accused the district building authority of driving up the already high property prices even further.
Because: The property developer has bought overpriced and now has to get his money back through sprawling development or high prices.
The former city architect Hannes Strunz had already pointed out this problem in the Ketteler-Ring case, said Fürstberger Franz Mayer “completely right”.
