Debate about development at the Moosburger Volksfestplatz: Densification accepted with grudging teeth

Several houses are to be built opposite the Moosburg cattle market place, where there are currently still meadows and an old stock.

However, the densification and possible further development on the adjacent meadow are causing stomach ache for some city councillors.

14 residential units are to be built not far from Moosburg's cattle market square.

Some city councilors take a critical view of this - and are also thinking of another meadow.

Moosburg

- It happens with healthy regularity that Moosburg's city council gets back a building application from the Freisinger district office.

Then the panel is asked to vote again - with the note that the higher authority would replace the agreement.

In the most recent case with several houses on Landshuter Straße, the city councilors fear further construction and then problems with the infrastructure.

The preliminary decision was therefore approved on Monday with 13:10 votes, but a development plan is now to be drawn up for other areas in the vicinity.

CSU as the driving force

Mayor Josef Dollinger (FW) had to explain to the city council that the district office had rated the undeveloped area on Landshuter Strasse opposite the fairground as an indoor area and thus also determined that it could be built on. The houses with 14 residential units would also fit into the environment, and that is why the district office asked the city council for approval. Dollinger passed this request on to the committee – and got the narrow majority thanks mainly to the CSU parliamentary group.

Spokesman Rudolf Heinz said that the additional traffic on the property could not be prevented and that the planning represented "a reasonable densification".

He rated the car-free surface positively thanks to the planned underground car parks.

Heinz warned against blocking the project with the preparation of a development plan: "If we don't get the plan done within three years, we could still be liable for damages."

New access required

The parliamentary groups (Greens, Fresh) and three council members (Kästl/ÖDP, John/Linke, Beubl/SPD), who continue to vote against the preliminary decision, fear that the other properties behind the construction site could then also be built on as an interior area.

These plots of land near the Aral gas station would have to be connected to Gärtnerstrasse, but that is hardly suitable for so much traffic.

Gerhard Beubl recalled that the former city councilor Erwin Koehler, with extreme stubbornness, had reached an access road from the Mühlbach bow to the state road.

The city had to fight for another access road for the densification.

(By the way: everything from Moosburg and the district is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)

The city councilors agreed that a development plan must be drawn up behind the now approved houses as soon as possible.

Among other things, the 3rd Mayor Michael Stanglmaier (Greens) and Martin Pschorr said that further development and thus also the management of traffic would have to be regulated.

Evelin Altenbeck (Greens) was just frustrated by the recurring discussion: "We've been following for 31 years.

And if the property developer is quicker, he makes a lot of money.”

Expensive for the city

The frustration is compounded by the fact that the city does not get anything for the densification on the currently three hectares of undeveloped land, although new roads have to be built and new childcare places created.

In the case of densification, the city cannot claim any income for follow-up costs.

This intensified the sour mood once again when the preliminary decision was approved by a vote of 13:10 and the development plan for the remaining area was put on the work list for the next few months.
