The district council has initiated the redesignation of six landscape protection areas.
In the debate there was a clear commitment to landscape protection
District
– In its most recent meeting, the district council committed itself to dealing responsibly with nature and the landscape.
Across all factions, the district councilors expressed their will not to capitalize on the currently uncertain legal situation in six of the eleven landscape protection areas.
"We will do everything in terms of land use planning to preserve the idea of the landscape protection ordinance," said the mayor of Rottach and CSU parliamentary group spokesman Christian Köck.
The unanimous decision was that the redesignation of the areas should now be pushed ahead quickly.
The 1955 ordinances on six protected areas are likely to expire shortly.
In the course of the negotiations on the operation of the Saurüsselalm near Bad Wiessee, the administrative court found that the complete building ban contained in the ordinances is not compatible with current law.
Regardless, the original map of the six major protected areas has been lost.
The new legal opinion will take effect as soon as the reason for the judgment of the Saurüsselalm court is available in writing in a few weeks.
Don't dig into old wounds
In the district council, the speakers were keen not to dig into old wounds.
Robert Wiechmann (Greens) expressly praised the district administrator and administration for dealing with the current crisis and communication.
There is no guarantee that the redesignation of the areas will succeed.
But together they worked out constructive suggestions to save the basic concept.
"The landscape is our capital"
According to CSU spokesman Köck, it is now essential to get a new set of rules - not least to ward off the covetousness of building contractors.
In any case, the communities would not take advantage of the situation now to find loopholes.
"After all, the landscape is our capital," emphasized Köck.
Josef Lechner (CSU) wanted to make this clear to the population on current occasions.
A landscape protection area does not guarantee 100% protection of the landscape, every individual is in demand.
"Fischbachau has never been in a protected area," said the former mayor, "and yet today it is a scenic gem in the district."
chance that something better will emerge
Hausham's Mayor Jens Zangenfeind (FWG) described the new designation as an opportunity to "take another look at the landscape".
To date, his community has been completely within the protected area, so there have not been any problems.
"I'm not afraid of a regulation," he emphasized.
"It just has to be legally secure and everyone has to be able to represent it." There is now a chance, added Martin Beilhack (BP), "that something better will emerge".
From the ranks of the district councils there were a number of supplementary proposals for the draft resolution.
Not only Wiechmann and Christine Negele (SPD) brought in editorial requests for changes, Georg von Preysing (CSU) also wanted an important point to be added.
As a member of the landscape protection working group, he recalled that guidelines had been drawn up in 2017 regarding the removal of areas from the landscape protection areas.
Every municipality should feel committed to this set of rules during the transition phase.
The suggestion was received in this form.
Relocation decided unanimously
Ultimately, the district council decided unanimously to speed up the redesignation of the six landscape protection areas "Egartenlandschaft around Miesbach", "Schliersee and surroundings", "Spitzingsee and surroundings", "Upper Leitzachtal and surroundings near Bayrischzell", "Tegernsee and surroundings" and "Weissachtal". to adapt the regulations to the current legal requirements.
At the same time, the district administration is examining the possibility of temporarily securing the regulations.
Bring current procedures "quickly and quickly over the stage"
The aim, according to Birgit Eibl (FW), must of course be re-expulsion.
"We must not lose ourselves in securing," she said.
The mayors Franz Schnitzenbaumer (Schliersee) and Gerhard Braumiller (Miesbach) called on the district administration to bring the removal process, which has been going on in their municipalities for a long time, "quickly and unbureaucratically".
District Administrator Olaf von Löwis (CSU) promised a quick clarification, but also urged caution: "We don't want to encourage any legal action here.
But we will find ways for the individual procedures.”
