Mini apartments instead of police barracks

The fact that two hearts beat in the chest of the city council became clear in the debate about a controversial construction project in the north-west of the district town.
Erding - On the one hand there is the opportunity to create small-scale living space, which is rarely found in this format in Erding.
On the other hand, the local politicians can't shake the uneasy feeling of being ripped off with the salami tactics of the Erdinger and Dorfen property developer Scharl.
In the end, however, the urban development committee cleared the way for a so-called project-related development plan - with one dissenting vote being that of Thomas Bauer (CSU).
It's about a special area on Anton-Bruckner-Strasse near the airport ring road.
Scharl wanted to build a kind of police barracks there in which state and federal officials could rent small temporary accommodation units including training rooms and other police-specific infrastructure.
The investor primarily thought of the Federal Police with a growing staff of officers at the airport.
But Scharl did not come to an agreement with the federal government.
Nevertheless, the development plan has been valid for almost exactly four years, and there is even an approved building application.
But because there is no longer any need for the property, the investor applied for a change of plan last year - which the city council rejected unanimously and without debate at the time.
At this point, a dedicated exit from Anton-Bruckner-Strasse had already been established – at the investor's expense.
Currently, this road with its own turning lane leads nowhere.
Now Scharl is making a new attempt.
The complex will have numerous 23 square meter residential units that could be rented to civil servants, young teachers, nursing staff, but also city and county employees.
Mayor Max Gotz (CSU) informed the committee that Scharl was prepared to grant the public sector a considerable right of first occupancy.
Gotz opened the controversial debate with the remark: “We have changed framework conditions.
The question now is whether we will go along with the changes.” In the end, politicians realized that there was a shortage of such mini-residential units.
On the other hand, Gotz made it clear that neither the building authorities nor politicians can always follow the changing wishes of the investor.
The city councilors liked the allocation right, although Gotz pointed out: "It then has to be managed in a complex manner."
CSU parliamentary group leader Burkhard Köppen recalled that "we have always had doubts as to whether the assignment by the federal police would work".
That's why he is now skeptical as to whether it will stay with a complex with mini-apartments or whether the next change requests will be made right away.
"There is no guarantee," Gotz agreed.
Thomas Schmidbauer (EDJ) took the same line: he demanded that the use by public sector personnel that has now been applied for be specified.
Stefan Grabrucker (SPD) said that trainee teachers are dependent on such types of housing.

Walter Rauscher (CSU) could not hide his anger at the change requests.
"Without the reference to the federal police, we would never have granted building rights at this point."
Bauer wanted to know beforehand how high the rents would be afterwards and whether the planned clientele would be able to pay them at all.
But this possibility does not exist.
Nevertheless, the development plan process is now starting all over again - according to the motto: Necessity knows no commandment.
