Münsing: Protest against Seniorenstift takes the hurdle - citizens' petitions allowed
"The content-related, material admissibility is currently being checked legally and from a structural point of view.
This is still going on. "
The initiators of the referendum for the author and musician Anatol Regnier pursue the goal of the local council deciding whether all Münsingers who are eligible to vote can vote on the project in the event of a referendum.
The critics, including the three representatives of the Greens in the local council, want the Kuratorium Wohnen im Alter (KWA) to build a smaller senior citizens' foundation than planned.
Münsinger protest against senior citizens 'pen - it is not discussed at the citizens' meeting
At the citizens' meeting on Thursday evening, Grasl announced in his statement of accounts "for reasons of neutrality not to go into more detail about the KWA project, the public petition to be finally examined and the current development plan procedure". In his press release he points out, among other things, that “currently several experts are working on the calculations for the areas and cubatures” of the planned senior citizen's pen, “so that clarity is created here”. It is a matter of ensuring that the project “should not exceed the existing old stock of the Wiedemann sanatorium, which was operated for decades and expanded again and again, in terms of area and building mass”. This must now be checked "in detail","Because, for example, some parts of the building are also covered by the terrain and objectively comparable parameters must be available".
The municipal council will make a public decision on the referendum and how to proceed in early November.
