Residents and the community have found a common denominator in the debate about the circular closure of the Maierfeldstraße in Fischbachau.

Fischbachau – The residents of Fischbachauer Maierfeldstraße made their dissatisfaction with local councils and Mayor Stefan Deingruber (CSU) clear before the start of the most recent local council meeting in an open letter: they spoke of a disrespectful process that presented them with a fait accompli, destroyed trust and damage to the community .

A good hour later, the residents leave the meeting room calmer.

They have vented their anger, the local councilors have expressed their frustration at the allegations.

Now everyone wants to look forward together.

Fischbachau: agreement in the dispute over Maierfeldstrasse

The agreement follows a brief, heated argument.

As reported, the community wants to connect the two parallel cul-de-sacs of Maierfeldstraße with an arch.

If she doesn't do this by July 5, the former owner can buy back the property.

After the municipal council decided in the non-public part of its May meeting to close the ring quickly and the excavators rolled on on June 20th - without the residents having been informed - they accused the town hall of "activism" in order to secure the property.

Deingruber now explained the background: As mayor, he is obliged to inform the municipal council about deadlines that could undermine decisions.

He did this in the May meeting for Maierfeldstraße because the committee had first decided in 1992 that it would not be developed to this day.

In 2012 it also advocated the ring closure as part of the development plan for the new development area and has always included this in the budget ever since.

He could not ignore this clear declaration of intent by concealing the deadline for the right of repurchase.

He reminded the municipal councils, after which they unanimously decided to complete the work before the deadline came into force.

Legally flawless.

The mayor only accepted the allegation of a lack of communication for the start of construction last week.

The building authority had agreed with the engineering office that they would inform the residents.

But this did not happen.

"I can only apologize." The fact that the community has repeatedly sought common solutions over the past 30 years in discussions with residents who have always been critical of the ring closure and expansion shows that they do not want to take anyone by surprise.

"Let's look ahead"

The municipal councils supported Deingruber across factions.

"Everything went according to law and order," said Michael Gartmaier (CSU).

Bernhard Padeller (FaB) said that anyone who claims that the ring closure comes from nowhere "has been asleep for 30 years".

Trails officer Martin Bacher (FWG) emphasized that the ring closure is also important in order to create a coherent water network and thus avoid contamination.

Korbinian Wolf (Greens) found it "great that the road is being made".

A resident spokesman agreed in principle with Deingruber.

However, he complained that the municipality had announced in 2012 that an engineering office would send the residents a list of services, which the administration would use to discuss the scope of the expansion with them.

"We waited for this to be developed together." No one should be surprised that the residents are now angry when excavators approach without warning.

The common denominator was found.

Deingruber and the municipal councils expressed understanding for the residents.

"Let's look ahead," said the mayor.

The residents' spokesman agreed: "It was clear that the expansion would come at some point," he said.

"We just want people to talk."

- "Grossly negligent"

Both sides have reason to agree, as the development of the entire Maierfeldstraße is still pending: According to its statutes, the municipality must pass on 90 percent of the costs to the residents.

If she does this by means of production contribution notices, she must, according to the law, fully expand the road, explained managing director Johann Neundlinger.

However, if she agrees with residents on urban development contracts, a smaller expansion, i.e. without sidewalks and lamps, is also possible.

This saves both parties money.
