It is not the case in Vaterstetten that something is pending that could potentially divide the community. Well, not everyone likes the new Vaterstetten-Ost industrial park. But things are going well. The residential areas of Vaterstetten Nord and Nordwest also have more than just fans. But there is nothing to be shaken about their construction, much is already in place. So the Vaterstetten citizens’ meeting took place on Thursday evening in the triple gymnasium without any major surprises, or it was streamed on the Internet. But there were still a few listeners.
For example, that the community could possibly get a little more money back from the Greensill bank failure than originally thought. What was the current state of affairs? A father from Stetten wanted to know when the treasurer Markus Porombka finished the overview of the communal finances. “How much of the money is gone and we don’t get it back?” Mayor Leonhard Spitzauer (CSU) chatted a little out of the box. Of course, he could not give any details from non-public proceedings. “We are assuming that we will get a certain quota back from the deposits, currently we are reckoning with 25 percent.” That would be – however annoying the matter remains – noticeably more than the feared ten to 15 percent. Otherwise, assured Spitzauer, the matter would be pursued. “Of course, we are exchanging ideas intensively with other affected communities, we regularly have video rounds with those affected from all over Germany.”
And what about Porambka’s overview? Looked better than expected too. This is primarily due to the income from trade tax. The chamberlain calculated that the community will probably take around 8.25 million this year. That would be two million euros more than the municipal council estimated when drawing up the budget. “Thank goodness the situation has stabilized.” As a precaution, he would like to point out: “This is not yet a pre-crisis level, but the level from 2016 and 2017.”
Jasmin Marussis-Kley, head of the family and education department, was able to give the all-clear in another matter, namely with regard to childcare places. “As far as the daycare and day-care centers are concerned, we will have enough places by the middle of the decade, and we will even be safe with the day-care center children by 2027,” she reported. Certainly also because between 2019 and 2022 around 2.3 million euros would be spent on new buildings and conversions, extensions and renovations. “There is, however, a need for action when looking after the ground.” As soon as the legal right to all-day care comes, the community must expand again.
Building authority manager Brigitte Littke took over the perspective on the construction project. Complete expansion of Alpenrosenstrasse and Dahlienstrasse, ceiling renovation Carl-Orff-Strasse, ceiling renovation of the local road from Baldham to Baldham-Dorf, expansion of Johann-Strauss-Strasse. All of this was really good for the townscape. “In times of climate protection, there must also be a shift in the direction of local public transport,” said Littke. “That’s why we’ve made some improvements to the bus network.” The inner-city 451 line is now also at the grammar school and then also supplies the adjacent residential areas. Lines 465 and 466 made an additional stop, including at the medical center. With the 466, the cycle will be shortened from 60 to 40 minutes. The new line 459 between Poing and “Messestadt-Ost” creates an additional connection to Munich in Neufarn, Parsdorf and Weißenfeld.
In Parsdorf, east of the Posthalterring, the community established a so-called “urban area” for the first time. Such a definition is used for living as well as the accommodation of commercial enterprises and social, cultural and other facilities that do not significantly disrupt residential use. “We show that something like this is not just for big cities,” said Littke. Another special feature is the distribution ban, which was issued for the first time. It prevents rental apartments from being converted into condominiums – and thus further exacerbates the precarious situation on the rental market.
There was a whole series of questions from the audience about the expansion of the public charging infrastructure for e-cars. “There’s not a single one in Baldham,” complained one Baldham. At least two are currently planned there, was the answer from climate protection manager Tobias Aschwer. “We have practically every funding program that is out there anywhere.”
