Andechs' mayor Georg Scheitz and his building authority manager Michael Kuch hope to be able to draw a line under the Frieding-Nord industrial park this year.
For 14 years the land-use planning was tinkered with, accompanied by some court proceedings and, most recently, an inquiry in the state parliament.
Frieding
- "It all started with the fact that wood chips were no longer viewed as agricultural goods, but as commodities." Georg Scheitz can still vividly remember this. That was the beginning of Frieding-Nord. The application of the former CSU councilor Georg Zerhoch to expand his plant for the production of energy chips right next to the football field on Drößlinger Straße triggered the planning of the commercial area in 2007 (we reported). Scheitz was Zerhoch's colleague in the parliamentary group at the time; today he is mayor of the Andechs community, to which Frieding belongs. The idea at the time was to reorganize the entire Frieding-Nord area. An area that has not only been used by the Strobl construction company for decades, other landowners also have halls there that are no longer just used for agricultural,but can also be used commercially.
The community soon said goodbye to the large litter on 16 hectares.
This outgrowth was not only too massive for the Frieding-Nord opponents, but also quickly for the local councils.
What remains is around eight hectares of land owned by a total of six landowners.
The municipality no longer bears the costs of this land-use planning, but is borne by the owners themselves. By then, the municipality had invested around 10,000 euros in the first major plan.
Until then, too, a lot of time had passed, and the agreement between the property owners and the municipality in urban development contracts also took patience.
In the meantime, there were various removal orders, petitions and in March of this year a request in the state parliament by the Gautinger Greens MP Anne Franke.
Because it was complex and extensive, it took the state government two and a half months to answer this question. It has been available since the beginning of this month. The questions relate to the illegal construction situation. Because apart from Strobl and Zerhoch, all of them are farmers whose halls are no longer classified as agricultural, but as commercial operations and are therefore partly not approved. This applies, for example, to a storage area that has been used by the construction company for decades and which has been located in the landscape protection area to date. The "corner", which in Scheitz 'opinion is in fact not worth protecting, is to be removed from the protected area.
On the property of another owner there are storage containers in which seeds for grass seeds are stored. The container location is not approved, but would be placed on legal feet by the land-use planning. Likewise the extension of a hall, which is to be demolished after the construction of a second hall. “The dismantling obligation is set out in the development plan,” says Scheitz. The second hall is currently being built. The development plan would also legalize a silo wall, a barn and a wood storage area on the Zerhoch site. An urban development contract regulates that a noise protection hall will also be built to protect nearby residential developments from emissions. The sixth property, which is located in the area around Frieding-Nord, is currently undeveloped and should offer space for a craftsman's yard.
In fact, there are indeed buildings and uses that are currently not permitted. Everything that will not be covered in the future by the land-use planning has already been removed, said Scheitz and Kuch, Head of the Building Department. The two are currently preparing the second weighing, after which a resolution of the articles of association could also be made. This would mean that after 14 years under Frieding-Nord, a line would be drawn. The town council will deal with the issue either before the holidays or immediately afterwards, says the mayor.
