Heibe discussion about fire department extension

The market council did not take the decision on the extension of the fire station with a width of 14 meters and a length of 20 meters lightly on thursday. Planner rudy laatsch presented two approaches to the market town council.
The version with three parking spaces had exhausted all possibilities for expansion. However, at around 600,000 euros, it also turned out to be considerably more expensive than initially expected. Only 420,000 euros are included in the budget. For the rough solution, the municipal treasury is expecting a grant of 66,000 euros, including 84,000 euros in equipment costs for the youth room, lounge and technical equipment.
He justified the significant increase in costs by saying that the demand guidelines had only changed at short notice. For example, parking spaces will no longer have to be 8.5 meters long, but ten meters. Until now, 3.5-meter-high access gates were sufficient, but now they have to be four meters high in order for the municipality to receive a claim. In addition, vehicle parking areas of equal length must be created in front of the building.
However, this requires the acquisition of land, because the extension is to be built on the boundary, but the existing land is sloping towards the forecourt. The jerky area is to remain unchanged.
The second solution offer is based on only two pitches. A small truck and the commander’s vehicle could be parked in the wash hall. The smaller version, according to the planner’s calculations, still comes to 558,000 euros, but all existing vehicles were accommodated. Land acquisition and a retaining wall were not necessary.
Commander and market councilor michael ruckel (burgerblock) was himself surprised by the new guidelines. "We are now getting a more massive building than we wanted", he stated in the consultation. Ruckel reported from a meeting of the fire department that many were in favor of a solution with three parking spaces, he himself recommended two parking spaces, also because of the cost development.
Ruckel also justified his stance by saying that storage would be simpler and less dangerous with two new parking bays. With three parking spaces, movable shelves had to be set up behind the vehicles. There was at most 80 centimeters of space between the shelving and the vehicle. "Too dangerous, found ruckel.
The commander also pointed out that the local fire department had reached the limit of its personnel capacity with eight vehicles. "More is not to be shouldered", stressed jerks.
Future vehicle procurements could at best be replacements. There was a lack of people for further deployment possibilities with today’s demand for training, training, maintenance, deployment and aftercare.
Ruckel wanted a fire alarm system for the building. He pointed out the high intrinsic value of the buildings. A fume extraction system is also needed for stands six and seven, the others are already equipped.
"Can’t we build modularly so that we can easily expand both stands to three stands later??", asked stefan mohringer (CSU).
Laatsch was not happy with this figure, because it was too rough. "It was politically desirable to keep the costs below 400,000 euros", warned peter fechner (CSU). In response to a question, planner laatsch put the adjusted construction costs at 498,000 euros.
With three parking spaces, erwin jager (SPD) saw the expansion possibilities settled once and for all. "The space will certainly be needed at some point", also found wolfgang stocker (CWG). Mayor werner knaier (CSU) rejected a "purely pressed version" and favored an easily and safely accessible warehouse.
Nine dealers opted for the two-bay version, while only five opted for the more expensive version. The mayor requested that the construction plans be presented at the next meeting.
