41 new building sites in Marzfeld in Altfeld

41 new building sites could arise on the northern edge of Altfeld in the so-called Marzfeld, perhaps even a few more. At its most recent meeting, the city council finally adopted the development plan as a statute. Unanimously, although a few suggestions arose in the preceding discussion that should actually only be regulated via the development plan. The hope is that the goals could still be achieved through the notarized sales contracts. Starting the planning all over again, nobody wanted that.

At the beginning, landscape architect Martin Beil (Wrzburg) briefly explained the planning and the comments made by the public authorities. The plots are 500 to 800 square meters in size and can be built with single or double houses. There is a playground and a small parking lot where the originally discarded energy supply system was supposed to be built. The 3.88 hectare area is accessed via the Geienweg and the Marzweg.

Farmers’ concerns about access taken into account

Compared to the draft planning, among other things, a definition of the roof color as red or anthracite was added, whereby glossy tiles may not be used. Because the farmers were worried that they would not be able to drive to their farms via the Geienweg, which might be parked, there was an on-site visit. The result: There will be a small embankment and vegetation to encourage parking on the street.

Dirk Hartwig (Green) took up the advice from planner Beil that there were over 100 interested parties for the 41 building sites, and said that more living space could be created with small lots and taller buildings. He quickly showed how one could get six more building sites. Planner Beil found this difficult due to the development and the city’s building authority director Wilhelm Trabel pointed out that the procedure would have to be completely new if one wanted to change the number of floors.

“The plot size fits, people also want a garden around the house,” said Bernhard Kempf. Helmut Adam also thought that it blended in well with the village. Hartwig, in turn, suggested taking a look at the old villages and the often narrow buildings there. He saw that as the actual rural character and not the new development areas with the single-family housing estates.

Still prescribe cisterns in sales contracts?

What Helmut Adam would like to have written in the sales contracts: Everyone should build a cistern and instead of planting two rows of bushes on half the length of the property, he would rather have a row of bushes over the entire length. Something like that would have to be regulated via the development plan, said the managing official Matthias Hanakam. He doubted that this could be resolved through notarial contracts. Kempf, on the other hand, found that cisterns cost quite a lot and that these expenses cannot be imposed on the client.

But Helmut Adam wanted to get rid of a fundamental problem. The city council has been messing around with this plan since 2017, he demanded that today one could also decide on the tender for the development. “I have no understanding whatsoever when such a process takes four years.” Building authority manager Trabel nodded in agreement, but had to disappoint Adam: You had to wait until the water law permit was issued with the tender. It’s still pending.

Desire for more noise protection in Altfeld

Caroline Kutz used the Mrzfeld discussion to draw attention to noise protection in Altfeld. The emissions from the autobahn and the B8 are increasing more and more; She feared that things would get worse after the Sllershhe industrial estate was developed. Helmut Adam, like Kutz, lives in Altfeld, waved him off. In connection with the Sllershhe, the city council spoke about noise protection. That is not necessary, the experts would have said. They could only have been persuaded to set a speed limit of 70 for the entire length of the route.
