Q&A overview

Contents of question Answer
I would like to ask you about the plans for the area under the elevated JR Nambu Line (Daimaru area).

Regarding the use of the underpass of the JR Nambu Line, development will proceed based on the ``JR Nambu Line Underpass Utilization Plan'' drawn up by the city, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and JR East.
In this plan, the area that can be used by the city and capital is set at 15% of the total area, and so far, efforts have been made to improve the convenience of the area by constructing bicycle parking lots and "Pair Terrace", a tourist information center. It's here. In the future, there are plans to construct a park and disaster prevention warehouse under the elevated bridge near the fire brigade's third branch station.
JR East will utilize the remaining land. Facilities actually developed by JR East include the supermarkets at Minamitama Station and Inagi-Naganuma Station.
Currently, the city has been requesting JR East to construct a parking lot under the elevated overpass, which has been requested by Tama Inagi Apartment and Inagi Hi-Corpo for some time. I have heard that there are plans to construct a parking lot under the elevated bridge from Lee Road to Nitta Street. Other uses have not yet been determined.
The city has a request to attract a highly convenient facility to the old Fuchu Kaido side of Minamitama Station (near the Yattawan monument), so the city is currently making an application to JR East. It is undecided.

When will the park be built near the third branch station of the fire brigade? At this time, the specific schedule has not been decided.
Isn't it possible for the city to use the enclosed space on the north side of Minamitama Station near where the Yattawan monument is located? The land in question belongs to JR, and if the city uses it, it will be leased for a fee.
In April 2017, when we held a town opening ceremony in front of the station, we were able to use the facility free of charge as a special case. The city is requesting that JR East quickly establish a permanent, rather than a temporary, convenient facility.
A pair terrace has been opened in front of Inagi-Naganuma Station, but there is a wall in front of the ticket gate, so some people may not notice it. I would like to see more ways to guide people, such as removing walls or adding more signs. Regarding the points you have pointed out, we have heard that JR is currently in discussions to attract commercial stores.
In addition, we would like to devise ways to provide easy-to-understand directions from the ticket gate to the paired terraces, such as installing guidance signs.
I heard that a road will be built from the rotary at Inagi-Naganuma Station to Icho Namiki Street, but when will construction start and be completed? The plan is to prioritize the north-south road from Kawasaki Kaido to Icho Namiki Dori, the east-west road along the old Kawasaki Kaido, and the area in front of Inagi-Naganuma Station, but the completion date has not yet been determined.
I believe that new traffic lights will be installed when a new road is built that connects directly to Kawasaki Kaido, but what will happen to the existing traffic lights? Regarding traffic lights, we are currently in discussions with the police. Police have pointed out that the new intersection and the existing traffic light (the one on the east side) are too close, so they plan to remove the existing traffic light and install a traffic light at the new intersection.
Regarding the traffic lights on Pearley Road, the police had previously talked about installing a median strip, but what will happen next? The police had previously asked them to remove the traffic lights in front of the Pearley Road shopping district, but they have explained that this is not possible. However, the police have told us to remove the crosswalk on the east side of the intersection in front of Sendai-ya, as it is close to the new intersection and could cause traffic congestion.
I previously heard that there are plans to develop the area in front of Minamitama Station as a model project for the Tokyo metropolitan area to eliminate utility poles, but will it be completed as part of the land readjustment once it is decided to eliminate utility poles? After the utility poles are removed, the road will be maintained and the construction will be completed in a near-completed form.
What is the schedule for relocating funeral facilities in the Daimaru residential area?

Although there are no legal issues with this facility, it does have the issue of not being suitable.
The city is currently in talks with the building owner regarding relocation and is working on a schedule for negotiations, but no specific date has been set. We are working to realize this as soon as possible, and will notify residents as soon as the specific details are finalized.

Three and a half years have passed since the issue of locating a funeral facility in a residential area arose. I feel like the city is moving slowly. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone in the area.
The city is continuing to negotiate persistently with the owner, and will notify everyone as soon as possible regarding the specific relocation timing, etc.
However, please understand that the facility has no legal issues and the city does not have the authority to force its relocation. Relocation requires individual procedures, such as exchanging part of the land with the new location, but the city is intervening in the process. We would like to continue moving forward with the aim of realizing this next spring.
Regarding this funeral facility, we believe that the operator was at fault for not providing enough explanation to the local community at the location stage. However, as the location is legally possible and the city's enforcement power is beyond the reach of the city, we ask for your understanding that it is taking so long.
Land readjustment is progressing in various parts of the city, but there are ways to prevent problems similar to those in the Daimaru area (although there are no legal construction problems, the location of facilities that are inappropriate for the area) does not occur. mosquito. For example, changing the use of land to ``residential use only'' due to land readjustment.

The use of land is determined by the district plan.
Although it is not impossible to make the property exclusively for residential use with the consent of all the local residents, it is difficult in reality as it would significantly reduce the asset value of the property.
In addition, we are researching ``town development ordinances'' based on examples from other local governments, but it is difficult to pinpoint restrictions. I believe that the important thing is for the government to encourage business operators to provide detailed explanations to local residents when the city obtains land use information.

When will the entire development in front of Minamitama Station be completed? I would like the mailbox and city bulletin board to be moved to the front of the station in conjunction with the maintenance. Currently, the progress rate based on the number of buildings being relocated is 72.4%.
From now on, we would like to set a schedule and work on it as part of the "Fifth Long-term Comprehensive Plan," which is scheduled to begin in 2021.
Additionally, the city's bulletin boards are scheduled to be moved to the front of the station in line with the progress of the utility pole removal work.
I would like the construction of the main road in the Minamitama area (the 10m road leading to the Suntory warehouse) to be prioritized. The plan is to prioritize roads with a width of 10 meters first.
Joyful Honda is scheduled to be built in the Minamitama area, but have the roads to get in and out of Joyful Honda been concretely planned? Are you worried about traffic congestion? Although discussions have not officially started yet, it is assumed that there will be two entrances and exits. In addition, a route that straddles the Nambu Line is also being envisaged to make it easier to access from the Fuchu area.
We will continue to carefully coordinate with Joyful Honda and the police regarding traffic congestion measures.
I would like to see security cameras installed in various locations to prevent crime in the area.

Personally, I was originally against the idea of ​​installing security cameras, believing that local crime prevention should be carried out through the eyes of the community, but it has been recognized that they have a certain effectiveness in deterring crime.
In the Inagi district, the "Streetlight Security Camera Installation Council" started installing the cameras based on donations from local businesses, and then the city used subsidies from the Tokyo metropolitan government to install staged cameras on the school routes of each elementary school. maintenance was carried out. In addition, when a series of arson incidents involving vending machines occurred, the city used its own expense to repair areas in hidden back streets and parks.
Additionally, there are cameras installed independently by private businesses such as convenience stores, and we believe that cameras are currently installed in the necessary locations.
Installing cameras throughout the city requires a large amount of money and there are limits to how much it can handle, so we are currently considering introducing a system in which the government will provide assistance to neighborhood associations that wish to install security cameras. We are currently considering this.

Suddenly, I received a notice from a developer that a 10-story apartment building was being built in my residential area. (Along Kawasaki Highway, former site of Daimaru Lumber)
Landscape is also an issue, but since the entrance to the parking lot is on the elementary school's school route, I am against the construction, and although I have attended numerous regional briefing sessions held by the contractor, I have not been able to come to an agreement with the mayor. I would like to ask you.
(1) Is it really possible to build an apartment building 33 meters high on the site?
(2) It is said that the entrance to the apartment building will be located on a city road (school route) with a width of 4.5 meters, but I hope the city will not approve this.
(3) We are having discussions with the business, but the residents' opinions are not being listened to. What should I do?

Please note that this is the first time I am hearing about the construction of condominiums, so I will be giving a general answer here.
First, regarding the height, it is thought that construction can be done within the framework of the usage restrictions in this location. However, the Tokyo metropolitan government handles the administrative work regarding whether or not the building will actually be built, so it is up to them to decide.
This issue cannot be concluded here today.
As a general rule, if something is recognized by law, no one can stop it. Based on this principle, it is necessary to balance individual rights.
Generally, land use is determined in front of stations and on main roads to encourage the concentration of commercial facilities. This is because if these areas are filled with low-rise housing, there is no hope for town development.
Conflicts related to condominium construction frequently occur in urban centers, and although the reasons for opposition from existing residents are emotionally sympathetic, they do not allow anyone to forbid anything that is permitted under the law. I can't.
In Japan's narrow housing land environment, it is necessary to live by making concessions to each other while making intensive use of land.
In addition, the basic principle of disputes between the parties is to resolve them through discussion between the parties. If a compromise cannot be reached, the right to sue is recognized, but there are concerns that this could lead to future friction within the same district.
In recent years, our city has had a history of finding solutions to various local issues through discussion, but the city does not have jurisdiction over matters that it does not have the power to enforce. Stay in. Please understand this point.

In the Osaka earthquake that occurred this year, a block wall collapsed and people were crushed to death. What measures has Inagi City taken? In Inagi City, emergency inspections were conducted from June 19th to 21st to check whether block walls were present or dangerous at all 86 public facilities, and it was confirmed that 79 of them did not have block walls. . Of the remaining seven block walls, five may not meet the safety standards, and two generally meet the standards. At public facilities, we plan to remove all block walls and replace them with fences, etc. by the end of this fiscal year.
In addition, by the end of September, city staff will visually inspect block walls on private land from the road side, and if there are any dangerous block walls, they will post a letter asking the owner to repair them. There is.
