Neuhochstadt

- In order to control growth in the settlement, the building committee of the municipal council decided on a development plan for the residential area in June (we reported).

At its most recent meeting, the committee therefore rejected the application for a preliminary decision and thus the exception to the ban on changes to a building contractor.

Among other things, because the planned excavations of up to two meters in Neuhochstadt could set a precedent.

The construction project for the property on Neuhochstadter Strasse was presented to the council for the third time.

The owner plans to combine three adjoining plots of land into one plot of around 1500 square meters and to build three residential buildings there.

In the first throw in March, the councils bumped into each other at the wall height of 6.50 meters.

In June, they complained about the arrangement of parking spaces and access and wanted a green strip for a future sidewalk.

With the exception of the access road, the applicant implemented all the conditions and submitted a detailed plan - only to have to make improvements again.

Among other things, the applicant's fatality was the principle of equality, which can lead to precedents.

The municipal councils therefore wanted to prevent, among other things, excavations of 70 centimeters to almost two meters on three sides of the two single-family houses and the two-family house.

The moats were intended to expose the façade, allowing for windows which in turn would brighten the rooms.

The rear rooms disappear completely into the ground due to the reduced wall height and the shift of the buildings towards the slope.

In a separate item on the agenda, the committee finally set the wall height of a maximum of 5.50 metres, which the building contractor used as a guide, as a target in the development plan.

Clemens Pollok (Greens) showed understanding for the client: "He pushes the house deeper and digs up instead." In one breath, however, the municipal council and architect complained that this would set a precedent and that the principle of equality would come into play.

Mayor Michael Sturm confirmed that if this point were approved, excavations for other houses on slopes would also have to be permitted in the development plan.

"And in terms of topology, the houses in Neuhochstadt are similar," said Sturm.

Birka Camerer (Greens) vehemently opposed it: "If you have a house on a slope, then you don't have a window there." Pollok was also bothered by the parking spaces.

"Who parks their cart in front of the living room?" he wondered.

And he criticized that in his eyes the "upper pitches on a hillside" were actually not usable.

"The parking spaces should work so that the vehicles are parked there," Sturm agreed.

After all, Neuhochstadter Strasse is already narrow and even more difficult to navigate with the cars parked all over the place.

With a narrow majority, the committee rejected the application for a preliminary decision.

Now the owner has to make improvements again so that the block on changes can be lifted and the construction vehicles can roll on.

At the same time, the development plan for the Neuhochstadt settlement is being launched.
