Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the courts had to examine in the building-permit procedure if the project could endanger neighboring land despite the parcel not being in a hazard zone.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The exclusion of the parcel from the hazard-zone plan did not bar a project-specific safety review under the building regulations.
Motivazione estratta
Hazard zoning and project-specific building safety are distinct. Section 6 BO/Walchwil requires buildings to be erected according to recognized building rules and to ensure safety. A concrete project must be assessed in the permit procedure, because the hazard-zone plan does not conclusively determine the admissibility of every specific construction project.
