Citizens Initiative Täfelberg informed on 11.02.2009 at 19:30 clock in the indoor restaurant suggestion for the development of community Althengstett on non-development plan area "rounding Täfelberg" On 17 December 2008, the Assembly of the establishment decision for the development plan area "rounding Täfelberg" acc. § 2, section 1 Building Code (Building Code) adopted. That does not mean that everything is here already taken a final decision. After publication and interpretation of the development plan, the citizens of the town within four weeks, regarding their concerns or suggestions. The council must then advise then on that subject.
Depending on the result, it is the municipal law absolutely free to decide on the final development plan or to take some of the distance. The municipality has no compulsion to tap the surface ever, just because it takes into account already in the land use plan as residential. From the land use plan may not be entitled to development be claimed, nor an obligation to provide development. A
llein the obligation to enter into the development area the least compromise to the detriment of nature and landscape protection is for the council to act pointing .
We demand, therefore, not to undertake this operation on the nature!
Why Look at the opening of the development plan area "rounding Täfelberg" as a huge mistake?
first
urban sprawl and landscape protection 1.1.Das planning area is not in the interior of Althengstett and is therefore a special engagement at the sealing by development of Landscape dar.
1.2.Grundsätzlich is to be welcomed that the community has learned from the mistakes of the eighties and nineties, and this time is planning to charge the estates with a Bauzwang to avoid further urban sprawl of the place. However, would stand out the completely built-up quickly on a plan area very exposed landscape position and act as a "wall" between today's high-Täfelberg sprawling residential area with many vacant lots and the southern nature reserve. The town and countryside would be permanently disturbed for decades.
second
long-term planning horizon is not considered Today we have in fact the problem that the community "property developers' own families can not make land available. Therefore, we can basically understand the motivation of the community to try to create new construction areas. And that would be it right, a building area to be tapped to provide new and one Bauzwang. We are also convinced that the land can be very attractive on the edge of the reserve sold for a supposed lack of alternatives within a very short time.
The predictions of the Statistical Office of Baden-Wuerttemberg shows, however, based on the total population from 2008 to 2025 both in the district Calw (-1.84%) and in Althengstett
(-0.41%) already slightly negative changes. Considering additionally the demographic development, the situation of most potential "property developers" under 65 looks again is significantly worse: based on 2008 figures come here in 2025 in the district of Calw (-8.01%) and Althengstett (-9 , 40%) decreased significantly.

The result is predictable: The interior will be settled less and empty houses and vacant lots dot the village sustainable. Against this background, it is absolutely wrong, still -At the beginning of the downward trend - opening up residential areas outside the sealed area.
third
Planning Act Under § 2 (d) Spatial Planning Act can be made to agriculture and forestry are particularly suitable surfaces (Täfelberg is used for agriculture) for other purposes used only when there is an overriding public interest. The balance of interests (§ 3) turn out to be such that the overall welfare of the people most appropriate. Whether a further development of Täfelbergs to serve the general welfare of the population is not conclusively proven. That the community plots in principle had to offer, is not enough.
4th
costs The costs for maintaining the infrastructure of roads, canals, etc. continue to rise with the expansion of development areas. For these costs will have to pay the citizens.
5th
nature :
The planning area is bordered on the mountain side directly to the conservation area Würm Heckengäu. At the same time here begins the FFH area "Calwer Heckengäu (FFH areas, special protection areas which were designated under the Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive and the protection of plants (flora), animals (fauna) and habitats (habitat types) serving in several annexes to the Habitats Directive are listed). The HD site is a part of the Natura_2000-area and is therefore subject to special protection. Today's meadows and fields make the transition into these protected areas dar.
5.1.Es is possible that here, too, are worth protecting the plants and animals from the nearby HD site, which would be destroyed by development. A probable extension of this nature would be worthy of protection prevents this early stage active. This requires an urgent report be claimed within the meaning of biodiversity (Habitats Directive) in the conservation authority.
5.2.Durch the sale of the land-what about would drag on for several years, and by also Baugebotszeit of several years ago, would result in permanent construction activities of more than five to ten years. This would be a significant negative impact on the protected wildlife have the protected area.
6th
limitation of solar energy use by shading on roof surfaces The very short land in north-south direction through the narrow street of 5.50 meters, and mainly by the steeper rise in the northern slope, the roof - especially in the winter months when the energy is most needed - mainly through the above of houses shaded. It is expected that the efficiency of solar systems is significantly reduced, making the owners of these houses are severely disadvantaged in terms of their investment. We therefore suspect that we will stick to a significantly reduced amount of environmentally friendly equipment. The exact shadow, the associated loss of efficiency and the resulting negative CO2 balance should be presented by an expert opinion.
7th
threat of air exchange and the microclimate 7.1.The fresh air comes mainly from the west today over the suspension of Täfelberges in the town. This cold air would break through the "wall" flow characteristics are altered significantly. It is feared that the cold and fresh air would no longer access the site today and would have a negative impact on the climate of the place.
would 7.2.Gleichzeitig-in particular by very precisely planned roads - to increase the flow of cold air and the wind speeds in today's southern residential area of the Täfelberges. Here, too, must have a medical exam.
8th
"recreation area" for community members lost Just incredible use of sunny days, many people - pensioners, families with children and animal lovers of this area for recreation. Without putting in the car to have to enjoy the charming landscape and fresh air around the Täfelberg.
8.1.Die landscape, as they know the citizens now enjoy would be to simply not the same.
8.2.Gleichzeitig would remove the above Eugenstraße today's service road, which is used by many people very happy. First, it is - in contrast to the upper-reach forest road just to even without major efforts. Second, it is in the winter months just in the sun, however, where everything is located south of the path through the woods in the shade.
8.3.Durch the constant construction activity would also disturb the peace and fresh air for five to ten years continuously be.
8.4.Der increase in wind speeds on the already extremely drafty Täfelbergwiesen would affect the people also disadvantageous.
9th
special stress on the existing residential area by construction traffic The arrival and departure for the construction traffic (some heavy traffic) in the development and future development can only have the residential area Täfelberg, especially the roads Täfelbergweg, Karlstrasse done, Heuweg, Olga Street. Adjacent streets were by the extensive truck traffic is also affected. We would like to take this opportunity to remind that in this particular area concerned exclusively with live "Zone 30" streets on an average number of families with children. Through most of the small plots and because of the age of the children, a large part of recreational activities on the sidewalks and roads instead, which are already heavily burdened by parked cars and the normal through traffic. Regular site traffic for many years with all the attendant disadvantages would endanger the health and lives of these citizens strong and damage the image of our excellent "child-and family-friendly community in the district of Calw" strong.
We note that were received by the municipality requests for specific properties. Therefore, we can understand the intention of the Mayor's Office and the council also good to do something for the property seekers. As it is explained, however, that it sold more willing property owners for many months-sometimes even a year fail to put their land to the man?
For us, the clear: As long as the community attractive grounds on the outskirts of the reserve is in prospect would be, but every ill-advised to purchase a vacant lot that is within a residential area. And who would then buy an older home or in the center, from 2010 when the aging citizens increasingly into the new Seniorenwohnheim relocate?
are now over 200 potential building sites in the interior of Althengstett available, which are privately owned and not sold. The long term aim must be, however, to settle this internal field is increasingly to create a better and more cost-effective infrastructure. In the light of declining populations of any further development for this is counterproductive. Every piece of land outside a vacant lot in the long term means.
Therefore, we believe that the municipal policy must urgently develop strategies to achieve optimal long-term infrastructure in the interior. And if they do not start today Täfelberg and provides for relaxation in the short term, we are in 5 years with a worsening situation again before the same problem!
It is the duty of the municipal council for Building Code, alternatives should be carefully considered - the compromise between efficiency, conservation and sustainability. We believe that this plan area certainly is not the "best" alternative rather than to the overall welfare of the people best suited.
What are our very concrete proposals?
first Local politics have long since taken reaffirmed their intent, the
development of the inner region a top priority to give. Clear message: "No further sealing of landscape and agricultural land, so long as free plots and houses in the average dimensions are about to have!"
second The community should utilize the construction and real estate opportunities in the already built-up interior (eg, empty houses, buying up derelict housing and commercial space and perform a re-use such as Perrot-surface).
third Intensive and sustained discussion with both owners and the public about the need for land sales.
4th The town could create incentives
, which today Landowners easier to sell their properties (eg temporary tax relief and allowances, bonuses, etc.)
5th This could include community redeploy their Infrastukturkosten so vacant land share in the fixed costs and the citizens of populated land are even relieved something (eg an increase in property tax while reduction of the fees for garbage, water, collection of fees by the appointment of snow clearing services if the Schneeräumpflicht is respected on sidewalks, etc.)
6th Last but not least, could also be interested buyers in the local government association (Althengstett, Simmozheim, Gechingen and Ostelsheim) are transferred. In the neighboring communities of developed land is available.
