The master plan proposal for the Mäntiperä energy park has been completed. The master plan proposal takes into account issues that arose after the draft phase.

Planning consultant Esa Säkkinen and project manager Matias Partanen are at the meeting via Teams to present the planning issue.

The purpose of the participation and assessment plan (OAS) is defined in Section 63 of the Land Use and Building Act, among other things, as follows: "When preparing a plan, a plan for the participation and interaction procedure and the assessment of the impacts of the plan, which is necessary in relation to the purpose and significance of the plan, must be prepared at a sufficiently early stage. The initiation of the planning process must be announced in such a way that the participants have the opportunity to obtain information about the planning process's starting points and the participation and assessment procedure."

The wind turbines are located approximately 10 kilometers east-southeast of the center of Kihniö, on the border of the city of Virtai and the city of Ylöjärvi. The settlements around the planning area are concentrated in the west and southwest of the area. The nearest residential and holiday homes are located more than 0,7 km from the wind turbines.

The aim of the partial master plan design is to implement the construction of the wind farm taking into account the characteristics and environmental impacts of the natural environment, and to mitigate any harmful impacts that may arise from the construction.
The partial master plan is prepared in such a way that it can be used as the basis for building permits for wind turbines in accordance with Section 77(a) of the MRL.

Närhinnevan Tuulipuisto Oy's goal is to implement a wind power area with a maximum of four wind power plants in the Närhinkangas area of ​​Kihniö municipality, with a total capacity of up to 36 MW. The unit capacity of the wind power plant would be a maximum of 9 MW and the total height would be a maximum of 300 meters.

The technical director presents the financial situation at the meeting.

Accompanying material is a comparison of actual results.

In the autumn of 2023, the Education and Technical Service commissioned a municipal cleaning work assessment, which found that there is potential for development in organizing cleaning services at the municipal level. The annual staffing requirement for the sauna facilities of the municipality's operational properties and residential terraced houses is 3,5 person-years, including maintenance and basic cleaning.

In the municipality of Kihniö, property cleaning services are produced as a separate service production. Four people have worked in the cultural department and one part-time person in the technical department, a total of 4,5 person-years. From a development perspective, centralizing cleaning services is essential, making it easier to optimize processes and resources. Several municipalities that organize cleaning services themselves produce cleaning services as a technical support service, which is usually organized in the cost center of the technical department.

The organization and operating model study of the service production of the technical sector of the municipality of Kihniö was completed in February 2024. According to the recommendations, the management of the performance of technical services should be developed in such a way that work management resources are allocated to cleaning and maintenance services. The development involves transferring cleaning services from the educational service to a support service for the technical service.

The organizational change of cleaning services is not only a development effort for the municipality, but also part of the municipality's economic adjustment effort. According to the economic adjustment program approved by the municipal council, the annual savings from centralizing cleaning services are 34,000 euros. In addition to cost efficiency, the change aims to make service production responsive to needs, flexible and promote well-being at work. The change will not result in layoffs or redundancies, but personnel arrangements will be handled through fixed-term employment and pension arrangements.

The employer has negotiated with the personnel on the personnel impacts resulting from the changes in operations and on work arrangements that do not lead to the dismissal, layoff or part-time work of employees. Although the matter in question does not give rise to measures referred to in section 4, subsection 1, point 4 of the Cooperative Act, negotiations have been held with the cleaning service employees on the matter. In addition, the matter has also been discussed in the Cooperative Protection Committee.

The supervisor of the cleaners will be the technical director as of August 1, 2024.

An appropriation change will be made to the current year's budget, in which the remaining appropriation of €64.539 from the cost center 0033300 Cleaning and sanitation support service under the Education and Wellbeing Board will be transferred to the new cost center 006625 Cleaning services under the Technical Board.

The Kihniö Municipality Audit Committee states in its 2023 evaluation report that the operations have been in line with the set objectives in all essential respects. The Audit Committee asked the Technical Committee one question:

Evaluation of the achievement of objectives and the effectiveness and appropriateness of operations:

The Audit Committee asks whether a binding timetable has been set for achieving the unfinished objectives?

Statement of the Technical Committee:

Attention should be paid to setting and measuring technical action targets in the future. Operational targets should be set so that they are realistically achievable in relation to the budget's operating and investment appropriations and planning years. The target setting has been changed in this direction in the 2024 budget.

Regarding the 2023 targets, the timetables for the unfinished targets are as follows:

Property survey project, so-called property tax survey

The property survey project has been started in 2021-2022, when an employee has been hired for the project for approximately four months. There are approximately 3300 properties and approximately 3600 buildings in the municipality of Kihniö. The survey work has only just begun. After this, no resources have been allocated for the project in the budgets and it is impossible to advance the project with permanent technical staff. In municipalities where similar surveys are underway or have already been completed, the projects are implemented either by hiring temporary project workers or by purchasing services.

If the project is to be implemented within a binding schedule, it must be approved in the budget and a possible phasing, schedule and resources for implementation must be presented.

Classifying properties owned by a real estate agent as a "portfolio"

The property portfolio is part of the property and premises strategy, the updating of which has been carried out in the technical administration. Since properties are the largest single area of ​​responsibility of the technical administration, the issue is being promoted on several fronts: as part of the economic adjustment, in the health center premises working group and in the development of the production of technical services. No binding timetable has been set for bringing the document to decision-making, but the goal is to draw up a five-year program for the years 2024-2028. Until then, the portfolio-based property maintenance strategy will actively promote the sale and demolition of properties that are being transferred.

Construction of the reception hall

The project is not on the municipality's investment list, so the technical function cannot contribute to the matter until the project progresses to the planning and implementation phase. No binding timetable has been presented for the project. The technical function will participate in the preliminary studies of the project in the tasks falling within its area of ​​responsibility.

Measures for marketing business plots, measures to support tourism, measures to promote multi-location and development of sports facilities

Goal setting, measurement and monitoring of these goals have been quite extensive and ambiguous. The goals and schedules have been identified and updated in the 2024 budget to align with the municipal strategy.

In addition, the inspection committee has discussed the maintenance of sports facilities and the cleaning of the gym and asked the Education Committee a question:

The inspection board asks how the cleanliness of the gym is maintained?

Statement of the Technical Committee:

The cleaning services of the premises of the Educational Service have been provided until 31 July 2024 as a support service for the Educational Service, namely cleaning and sanitation. The cleaning of the hall has therefore been within the area of ​​responsibility of the Educational Service and is responsible for any quality deviations. The Technical Committee is responsible for all cleaning services provided by the municipality from 1 August 2024. The cleaning of the gym is included in the cleaning work program for maintenance and basic cleaning. The frequency of maintenance cleaning during the semester during school work is 5 times a week. The cleaning frequency may change during the holidays.

According to the Waste Act (646/2011) and municipal waste management regulations, every permanent and holiday residential property must be covered by the municipal waste management system. Property-based waste transport is connected to the property with its own waste container or a waste container shared with neighboring properties, i.e. a shared container. Holiday homes also have the option of taking their waste to a regional collection point or waste station. In all options, the connection is agreed with Lakeuden Etappi Oy.

An exemption from connection can be applied for if the residential building is completely unused or empty for justified reasons. The exemption from connection is processed by the waste management authority, which is the Lakeuden Waste Board. The municipal environmental protection authority decides on any possible compulsory measures regarding connection.

On 2 February 2022, the environmental inspector urged the owner of property RN 250-407-9-91 to join the waste transport by 28 February 2022. Following this, a hearing letter was sent to the property on 6 April 2022, in which the property owner was given the opportunity to submit a response by 29 April 2022, under the threat that the property could then be ordered to join the waste transport through a penalty payment procedure. The party under hearing has not submitted a response in the matter.

On 22 May 2024, the Technical Board ordered the owner of Section 36 property RN:o 250-407-9-91 to connect his property at Majaniementie, 39820 Kihniö, to property-based waste transport by entering into an agreement with Lakeuden Etapi. The main obligation was enhanced by a running penalty payment, the basic amount of which is €1000 per main obligation not complied with and an additional amount of €200 for each calendar month following the set deadline. A copy of the agreement had to be submitted to the environmental protection authority within 14 days of receiving notification of the decision. Notification of the decision took place on 1 July 2024.

According to information received from the waste management authority on August 8, 2024, property RN 250-407-9-91 at Majaniementie has not been connected to property-based waste transportation.

On 26 August 2020 and again on 22 June 2022, the environmental inspector urged the owner of property RN 250-401-24-2 to join the property waste transport system. The deadline for the most recent request to complete the measure was 31 July 2022. Following this, a hearing letter was sent to the property on 15 May 2024, giving the property owner the opportunity to submit a response by 31 May 2024, under the threat that the property may then be ordered to join the waste transport system through a penalty payment procedure.

On 26 May 2024, the respondent stated in his response that he primarily aims to prevent waste generation and secondarily to recycle. He stated that he had made an agreement on the shared use of a waste container back in 2010 and stated that he composts the bio-waste generated on the residential property. In addition, the respondent stated that in 2017 the then environmental inspector had visited the site and found that everything was in order. The respondent stated that he had also discussed the matter with the then environmental inspector in 2020. On 10 June 2024, the current environmental inspector urged the property owner to contact Lakeuden Etap waste management, as this is the only way to rectify the shared container information.

The property owner contacted Lakeuden Etappi on 14 June 2024, and was told that transporting waste more than 3 km from a residential building is not considered property-specific waste management for the property in question. Therefore, the property is still not connected to waste management in the waste transport register, because the current shared container does not meet the regulations and cannot be considered to meet the obligation of the Waste Act for organized waste management.

According to the obligated party, waste management fees should be based on waste produced, not on regularly emptied containers. The obligated party also inquired about when Etappi will switch to weighing-based collection of incinerable waste and what legal provision the kilometer limit for property-specific waste management is based on.

The Waste Board clarified to the obligated party that the 3 km distance was introduced in 2022 and that previously the restriction was stricter than this. The municipal waste management regulations, which stipulate the distance, have been issued pursuant to Section 91 of the Waste Act. The Waste Board regretted that waste containers in single-family homes are not weighed. Instead, waste fees are based on the size of the waste container, the average filling level and the number of emptyings. Emissions from waste transport are minimized through efficient route planning and the use of compartment containers. Excessively long emptying intervals directly affect the quality of the waste. Therefore, the emptying intervals cannot be, for example, several months long, in which case the waste would become unusable. In addition, the Waste Board offered that an excessively long common container matter can be handled in writing by an official decision, which has the right to appeal to the Vaasa Administrative Court. The obligated party has not responded to the Waste Board's report.

According to information received from the Waste Board on July 3, 2024, property RN 250-401-24-2 is still not connected to property-based waste transportation.

The Kihniö Technical Board is the environmental protection authority of the municipality of Kihniö and is therefore competent to decide on issuing regulations in accordance with the Waste Act and imposing a penalty.

The main obligation was enhanced by a running penalty, the basic amount of which is €1000 per non-compliant main obligation and an additional amount of €200 for each subsequent calendar month after the set deadline.

According to information received from the waste management authority on June 4, 2024, the waste management of property RN 250-407-9-135 is in order. The main obligation has been fulfilled by the deadline, so the penalty notice procedure lapses.

The parties concerned were urged again on 2 September 2020 before the order was issued and a penalty payment was imposed to join waste management. The party being heard has not submitted a response in the matter.

On 22 May 2024, the Technical Board ordered the owner of property RN 250-401-2-36, Section 38, to connect his property to property-based waste transport by entering into an agreement with Lakeuden Etapi. The main obligation was enhanced by a running penalty, the basic amount of which is €1000 per non-compliant main obligation and an additional amount of €200 for each subsequent calendar month after the set deadline.

According to information received from the waste management authority on June 27, 2024, the property RN 250-401-2-36 no longer exists, so it cannot be connected to property-based waste transport.

An initiative has been submitted to the Municipal Initiative Service:

Initiatives content:

The permanent population of Kihniö municipality is decreasing at an annual rate of approximately 30 people. The number of pensioners in the municipality is approximately 730, and the number is not changing much. The population is decreasing as the active population and young people move away, which is weakening the vitality of the municipality more and more rapidly.

Kihniö's economic strength is made up of cottagers: in 1980 there were 400 summer cottages, in 2000 the number exceeded 750, and in 2010 there were already 870 cottages. Then the growth stopped, today there are 900 summer cottages (seasonal homes) and the number has not increased in recent years.

The main reason for the halt in growth is the end of building rights in several areas due to fragmented property ownership. Under current law, additional construction would require zoning, which is too much of a burden for an individual landowner.

The new Building Act, which will enter into force on 1 January 2025, offers an opportunity to revive the construction of summer cottages. According to the new law, the right to build is usually indicated in a legally effective master plan, town plan or waterfront town plan.

However, the municipality may designate areas in its building regulations where, due to their location, no construction requiring planning (= zoning) is expected. Such a building regulation may be valid for a maximum of six years at a time.

The building regulations are mandatory for municipalities and the existing building regulations must be updated to comply with the new law. The regulations may differ in different areas of the municipality. The current building regulations of the municipality of Kihniö contain many regulations that are not required by the new law.

The content of the Kihniö building regulations must be updated to allow the construction of summer cottages on the shores without a building permit under flexible conditions, and for example, the construction of a fireplace should not be considered subject to a permit. The updating of the building regulations should begin immediately so that the opportunities provided by the law are immediately available.

If the planning need in any area of ​​the municipality exceeds the zoning requirement, the municipality must, in its own interest, initiate a legally effective partial master plan, half of which, according to the new law, will be paid by the landowners.

Response to the initiative:

The current building regulations of the municipality of Kihniö apply to the entire municipal area and came into force on 1 July 2014.

The Building Act (RakL) will enter into force on 1 January 2025. According to the transitional provision, the building order must be amended to comply with the Building Act by 1 January 2027 at the latest (RakL, Section 28).

According to Section 17.1 of the Building Act, every municipality must have a building code. The provisions of the building code may differ in different areas of the municipality. The building code may contain provisions necessary for planned and appropriate construction, taking into account cultural and natural values, and the creation and preservation of a good living environment due to local conditions. The provisions of the building code may not be unreasonable for property owners or other right holders (Section 17.2 of the Building Act).

The provisions of the building regulations may concern the construction site and other areas, the size of the building and its placement, the adaptation of the building to the environment, the construction method, plantings, fences and other construction sites smaller than the building, the management of the built environment, the organization of water supply, the definition of the planning need area and other comparable local construction matters (Section 17.3 of the Building Act).

The municipality may stipulate in its building regulations that a building permit is not required in the municipality or a part thereof for a construction project referred to in Section 42.2 of the Building Act, if the construction project can be considered minor. In addition, the municipality may specify in its building regulations the areas and conditions in which the conversion of a second-time residence into permanent residential use does not require a deviation permit or a review of the placement conditions concerning the planning need area before granting a building permit (Section 18 of the Building Act).

The provisions of the building regulations may not be applied if a general or local plan or a regulation published in the Finnish Building Regulations provides otherwise (Section 17.4 of the Building Regulations Act).

Since the provisions of the building regulations must not conflict with the legislation, it would be most logical for the revised building regulations to come into force simultaneously with the new law. However, a large number of municipalities are using a transition period and waiting for the revised legislation to become established. It is also justified in the municipality of Kihniö to wait and see what kind of building regulations reforms are formed in the municipalities within the framework of the legislation and to compile and specify them to be best suited to local conditions. It should also be noted that the resources for land use planning in the municipality of Kihniö are limited, so it is realistic to schedule the drafting of the building regulations simultaneously with the updating work of the city of Parkano.

The Technical Committee is aware of the opportunities brought by the reform of the Construction Act to facilitate and promote construction, and will take them into account in the work to reform the Building Regulations. The schedule for updating the Building Regulations will be specified in connection with the preparation of the next budget.

In accordance with Section 15 of the Land Use and Building Act, when preparing a building order, the provisions of Section 62 on (plan) interaction and Section 65 on placing the plan proposal on public display must be followed, where applicable.

As part of the financial adjustment for 2024-2026, the council has approved the sale and demolition of properties that are no longer necessary for the municipality's operations. The disposal of the Hurula property is scheduled for 2024. Hurula was built as a three-room social housing, and this type of housing no longer serves the municipality's service production or the needs of modern housing. The annual operating costs of the social housing, which include Hurula and Mansikkamäki, are approximately 14,000 euros.

The item has been announced for sale at the Kiertonet online auction on July 5, 2024.

Hurula (address: Mikkolantie 4) was completed in 1991 and has served as a 3-room dormitory. The Hurula house is located on property 250-403-8-238 owned by the municipality of Kihniö, from which a plot according to the local plan (area approx. 1450 m2) will be subdivided after a possible sale. The plot is designated in the local plan as a block area for detached houses (AO). The building right on the plot is approx. 290 kem2. The area of ​​the plot, therefore the amount of the building right, will be specified after the subdivision. The plot is forested and no yard has been built.

As part of the financial adjustment for 2024-2026, the council has approved the sale and demolition of properties that are unnecessary for the municipality's operations. The disposal of the Mansikkamäki property is scheduled for 2024. The Mansikkamäki residential building was renovated into a three-room social housing unit in the 1990s, and this type of housing unit no longer serves the municipality's service production or the needs of modern housing. The annual operating costs of the social housing units, which include Hurula and Mansikkamäki, are approximately 14,000 euros.

The item has been announced for sale at the Kiertonet online auction on July 5, 2024.

The property is a detached house completed in 1935 and renovated in 1992, which has served as a 3-room apartment.

The buildings are located on the municipally owned property 250-403-1-63 Mansikkamäki, from which a plot in accordance with the local plan will be divided after the sale, with an area of ​​approximately 4900 m2. The plot is designated in the local plan as a block area for public buildings (Y). The building right for the plot is 750 kem2.
