The building committee put no obstacles in the way of the largest employer in the Andechs community and approved the further procedure on Tuesday.
Mayor Georg Scheitz logically did not take part in the discussion and vote.
Erling - This time all options are to remain open without the Andechser Scheitz dairy in Erling being in the way of time-consuming change procedures in the future. Flexibility is the keyword that lawyer Alexander Kopitsch from the law firm Labbé und Partner used as an argument to justify the sometimes actually large leeway that the fifth change to the development plan for the special dairy area contains.
Kopitsch knows the development plan for the special area on Biomilchstrasse inside out. It had already been consulted in 2015 when the current development plan was drawn up. Back when it was still about the construction of a Hundertwasser tower and noise protection (we reported). The fifth change was triggered by the construction of a combined heat and power plant last year. The aim was to provide the company with more sustainable energy and to save CO2. This required new chimneys, which replaced the old ones, but were much higher, namely more than 20 meters high. The District Office did not want to grant an exemption for this, which would have been done quickly, but slowed the project by demanding a much more time-consuming change to the development plan.
The dairy learned its lesson from this. Together with Kopitsch, the management set up a concept that allows a certain degree of flexibility for a period of ten to 15 years. "This is about technical planning with complex interrelations," emphasized Kopitsch. Not about detailed projects, but about technical improvements that will continue to be necessary in the future. A year ago, for example, he praised the block-type thermal power station as an innovation project with primary energy savings of 38 percent. With constant development, there will always be a need for improvement. The next step is the construction of a process water treatment plant in cooperation with the AWA.
Peter Schmaderer (Greens) suspected and found some formulations to be "too vague" in some cases. Kopitsch tried to dispel this suspicion when he referred to the many restrictions that should also be anchored in the plan - namely the type of structural use or green space. "Everything is not possible," assured the lawyer. CSU councilor Stefan Dorn jumped to the side of the lawyer by throwing in that this was exactly what the community wanted. “It was us who didn't want any more salami tactics,” he said. "And that's why there is this plan."
Notes on development and immissions (light, noise and smell) from early public participation were also invalidated in the weighing process.
Only Schmaderer was ultimately missing proof that the immission effect would not affect the animal world in the surrounding protected area.
Kopitsch saw no problem in this and immediately wrote it down in his notepad.
After the consideration has been incorporated, the development plan will now be redesigned.
Probably from the beginning or the middle of October, says Michael Kuch, head of the building authority.
