The beach areas of Hosseinlahti and Lempuka will remain recreational areas

During the preparation of the master plan that started in 2016, there has been a lively discussion about the future of Lempeenliette and Hosseinlahti, i.e. Lempuka and Hossuka beach areas. Initially, the areas were designated for residential construction, after which the beaches were marked as construction reserve areas.

– In this general plan proposal The coastal areas of Hossuka and Lempuka are recreation areas, says Pelo.

During the preparation of the master plan, it has also been determined whether plots of land could be reserved for beach construction on the mainland beach east of Malonsaari.

- In the master plan proposal, it is possible to reserve lots for example on the east side of Malonsaari, the southwest side of Ukonniemi and on the edge of Lammassaarentie. Places suitable for beach construction will be studied in connection with more detailed planning, says Pelo.

Kaukopää school's protection mark will be removed

The urban development board discussed the master plan proposal in its meeting on 23.4.2024. The proposal was approved with the following clarifications: The protection marking of the Kaukopää school will be removed and the marking of the bypass that goes past the Tainionkoski power plant and the appropriate texts will be marked.

- Regarding the Kaukopää school, we will probably still receive a statement from the South Karelia Museum and the ELY Center of South-Eastern Finland about the building protection sites of the general plan, after which we will assess how to proceed with the protection markings, says Pelo.

At the Tainionkoski power plant, a mark will be added to the plan map to ensure that it is possible to make an overpass in the future.
