The city of Dachau is forcing a property owner to build a day-care center, but is now offering at least a compromise.
But the criticism continues.
Dachau - There was talk of “expropriation”, of a “disproportionate interference with property rights” and “left-wing” politics: The change block, which was initiated by the majority of the SPD, the Greens and the Alliance for Dachau, which the owner of the property on Schleissheimer Strasse 45 is supposed to prevent people from building apartments on their property (we reported) has recently met with severe criticism.
Nevertheless, the city wants to continue this legally controversial path, on Tuesday in the building committee, the formulated change lock was finally issued. The owner, who bought the 2,469 square meter plot of land, on which there is currently a residential and commercial building as well as a rear building, as part of an auction, is now either no longer allowed to change the development, or he is building what is the city wants: a day-care center and social housing.
The CSU parliamentary group stuck to its negative attitude towards the measure. August Haas, for example, called the city's actions “extremely unfair”. Gertrud Schmidt-Podolsky also criticized the fact that “we were told that the city did not bid at the auction”. Mayor Florian Hartmann emphasized that the city did take part in the auction and therefore tried to buy a plot of land, but the budget made available by the city council was not enough for the bid.
Haas, however, objected: he had spoken to another auction participant, who reported that the city had not submitted a single bid.
“But once you could have reported,” said Haas;
the current owner might have found out about the city's interest in the property at an early stage and then would not have been caught off guard - in fact, after the change ban has been imposed, he can no longer do much with his property.
The city sees it differently, however: the landowner is still allowed to do a little something with Schleißheimer Strasse.
“Now we just have to find a way to bring our goals and our goals together,” emphasizes Moritz Reinhold, head of the building authority.
This path should now look such that the owner says goodbye to building a residential building at Schleißheimer Straße 45 and two town houses in the rear area;
In return, the city would give up its goal of only building a day-care center and social housing.
So a compromise would be for everything to come: the kindergarten, some social housing and privately financed housing.
It is obvious that this solution is likely to be far less profitable for the owner than his original plans.
Reinhold emphasizes, however, “that a kindergarten can also be run economically.
It brings rental income and no hassle ”.
In other words: Since the city cannot buy the property itself for lack of money, it would act as a tenant.
Initial discussions with the owner's lawyer have already been "very, very constructive". Next week, the owner who is currently on vacation will also be included in the talks. In any case, Reinhold emphasizes, the city is interested in a “common line. We are ready to compromise ”. That the first conversation with the lawyer was very promising, says the Green City Councilor Richard Seidl: "He seems to be acting more pragmatically than you think he is."
