The planned new development areas in Oberschleißheim will probably require five new primary school classes, ten groups in day-care centers and almost a hundred after-school care places in the medium term. In the new housing estate in Mittenheim and the two separate building areas between St.-Margareten-Straße and Schäferanger, at least one new day-care center would have to be built, probably two. And who should pay for that? The building areas have been in the planning process for years before the town hall now deals with the question.
So far, the town hall had apparently assumed that the new daycare center, which was part of the social concept of the new Mittenheim district, would somehow be sufficient for the needs. An appraisal now calculated the likely consequences for the infrastructure and the new mayor Markus Böck (CSU) found that these enormous dimensions should not be focused on a building that would not even capture the consequences for the school and day care center. In addition, the inner-city development areas would then be dependent on the colleagues building a children’s home in Mittenheim, in front of which there could be no construction.
Before the development areas at St.-Margarethen-Strasse and Schäferanger were designated, the local council had written in the register of the two real estate companies that they were “obliged to bear the causal costs if the project would require social infrastructure measures”. So far, however, this aspect had never been pursued further. Now the municipal administration proposed to cover the infrastructure burden by giving up both of them to provide the necessary childcare places in their quarters. The two developers, who, according to the municipality, did not deny follow-up infrastructural costs in accordance with contractual obligations, would admittedly not have shown themselves pleased to suddenly radically change direction in the final planning stage and provide space for a daycare center. This was also viewed critically in the local council. Just as a collective daycare center is oversized for all needs, a solution for each district would be too small, argued Florian Spirkl for the SPD. The SPD suggested only asking the developers to pay and then building a new children’s house by the indoor swimming pool, where the neighborhood help desk is now located.
The Free Voters complained that their earlier proposal to purchase land for the community in the new development areas had not been pursued. “Then we would not have the problem now, but could build a day care center there,” said her spokesman, Stefan Vohburger. Hans Negele (FW) recalled that prior to the recent large-scale building area on Hirschplanallee, land assignments had been demanded by the property developers, with which the municipality then financed subsequent charges. This time this was neglected. Now any solution will again lead to the process and the creation of new living space being delayed.
Regardless of how the necessary day-care centers are dealt with, the question of expanding schools and after-school care centers remains acute anyway, recalled the SPD and FW, because these could not be built by the respective developers on a district-specific basis. With 16: 5 votes, the FW, SPD, Greens and FDP decided against the mayor and the CSU to postpone a decision to first clarify whether and where the community could set up day-care centers itself, for example at the indoor pool, as suggested by the SPD.
