Nagamine Community Disaster Prevention Center (Nagamine District)

Regarding Asuka Soken <br id="3"/> I have concerns about the construction of the Asuka Soken office in the Nagamine area from an environmental and safety perspective. I would like the city to preserve the construction site as green space, or to build a community center there.

About Asuka Soken <br id="3"/>The district plan for the area states that it will create public facilities and a comfortable and attractive living environment. I think Asuka Souken's office doesn't fit into the city's district plan.

About Asuka Soken <br id="3"/>When we spoke with Asuka Soken, they told us that they had not decided on a mobile sales vehicle at all. The explanation is that it cannot be decided because the details of the building have not yet been decided.
Is it correct to assume that the city will not approve the plan if it does not have a function that contributes to the interests of nearby residents, as it will simply be Asuka Souken's office, parking lot, and material storage area?

The city does not have the authority to approve or disapprove this land transaction. If it falls within the scope of the district plan, it cannot be refused.
Asuka Souken is the company that says it will build facilities for people's convenience. The city did not ask them to bring a mobile sales van, but Asuka Souken suggested bringing one.

About Asuka Souken <br id="3"/>Although the operator describes it as an office, there are concerns that it will essentially become a dumping ground for industrial waste.

About Asuka Soken <br id="3"/>Many local residents are not satisfied with Asuka Soken's plan and believe that only the mayor can stop it. Could you please do something?

We, the government, carry out our duties based on the law, so we cannot answer here whether we can or cannot do something. We will provide guidance that we can within the scope of the law.
Not all plans are binding. Please understand that these are rules and norms, and guiding targets. There are some discrepancies in the explanations given by both parties, and we would like to hear more from Asuka Soken.

About Asuka Soken <br id="3"/>When it comes to rules and philosophy, I think philosophy is important. Isn't there a rule to make the idea come true? Although it goes against our ideals, isn't it putting the cart before the horse if we just want to pass the rules?

These are guiding principles - regulations, rules and ideals that must be followed - and while district plans are what enforce regulations, they allow a certain degree of flexibility.
The district plan for the Nagamine district has been broad enough to allow for business use that is not limited to commercial facilities for selling goods. It was enacted as a bylaw by the Inagi City Council in 1993, and the master plan was completed in 2003.
Both the city and UR have been conducting marketing activities to attract businesses in order to improve convenience for local residents, but it is also true that no companies have opened stores during this time.

About Asuka Souken <br id="3"/>Has the contract been concluded yet?

Regarding Asuka Souken <br id="3"/>Did they not anticipate that it would cause backlash from residents at the contract evaluation stage?

Regarding land procedures for Tama New Town, a sales contract is in advance.
Based on the residential land development guidelines, briefing sessions for residents are held under the direction of the city.
The Tokyo metropolitan government will carry out building inspections. Before that, district plans are submitted, and building applications are checked for violations of the Building Standards Act. The reason these cannot be done in advance is because the sales contract is preceded.

About Asuka Soken <br id="3"/>Shouldn't decisions be made after plans for the environment, roads, waste disposal, etc. are made?

Regarding Asuka Soken , it was reported at the city council meeting that an Ito-Yokado mobile food truck would be coming, but if it turns out not to be coming after all, it will be difficult to stop them once the building has already been built.

Currently, we are at the stage where we are listening to ideas based on the concept. In the future, various laws and regulations regarding pollution and the environment must be cleared.
We will instruct Asuka Souken to hold an information session for residents when the details become clear.

About Asuka Soken <br id="3"/>We also contacted Ito-Yokado regarding the Ito-Yokado mobile sales proposal that Asuka Soken had proposed.
When I asked about Asuka Souken, I was told that although Inagi City had inquired about the mobile sales vehicle, nothing has been decided yet. It is true that Inagi City made an inquiry in March of last year, but did UR and the city collude to say that if they had a mobile sales vehicle, the land would be sold?
Wasn't it the city that tried to bring in Ito-Yokado, saying it would be more convenient?
It just seems like the city is complicit or is being fooled.

Please be clear that the city was not complicit or that Ito-Yokado was involved. There is no way they would bring Ito-Yokado and pass Asuka Soken.
With the authority we have, we will strive to comply with the ideas of the citizens. We cannot refuse this land transaction, and as we proceed with our future plans, we will provide guidance to meet everyone's wishes as much as possible.

Regarding Asuka Soken, I think the city has too little information.
Contractors prepare documents that will be approved. Asuka Soken must have prepared documents that will be approved by the city.
I would like the city to listen to the requests of its citizens, continue to investigate, and collect information beyond what has been submitted.

Regarding the site for Inagi Nagamine Sports Ground
In 2007, a newspaper article reported that 3,500 times the normal amount of dioxin was released. I would like a dioxin investigation to be carried out.

We are currently continuing to conduct environmental surveys, and the results are within standard values.
