The straw that broke the camel's back… Thursday, November 7, 2024, the various question asked by Anne Danjou, elected from the minority, gradually raised the tone in the municipal council of Segré-en-Anjou Bleu (Maine- et-Loire). The subject: the possible risks of flooding in the future subdivision of Impasse des Jardins in Sainte-Gemmes-d'Andigné (11 houses) whose preliminary project was approved on February 22, 2024. Not to the taste of the Mayor Geneviève Coquereau.
Anne Danjou and “the unmodified PPRI”
As she did for another project on rue du Pont de l'Argos, abandoned last spring, Anne Danjou pointed to the flood risk prevention plan (PPRI) of which “the mapping does not correlate with the actual risk. It had to be modified, the prefect told you in 2023 (then Pierre Ory)I wanted to check, it is not the case and it is worrying. »
Based on the Atlas of flood zones, the elected representative of the minority estimates “only six of the eleven houses” are concerned. “In the context of flooding that we are experiencing, it would be desirable to very seriously verify the compatibility of the establishment of these six houses with the actual risk recognized by Prefect Ory and the State services. »
“Only one lot remains in a low hazard zone”
On this point, Geneviève Coquereau recalls that if these “recognized some inconsistencies between the Atlas made in 2005 and the PPRI established in 2008, many adjustments and better management were carried out by the SBO (Oudon basin union) Since. The Segréens are the first spectators because there are lots of houses and garages which were flooded in the city center which are no longer flooded. »
The mayor also insists on the fact that in conjunction with the DDT (departmental territorial management), modifications were made to the subdivision project. In particular by repositioning certain lots. “Of the six who were registered in the PPRI and the Atlas in a low hazard zone, only one remains. With buildable layouts. » Namely, have at least one room upstairs with a window (and not an opening on the roof) and raise the floors by 50 cm.
After a somewhat tense exchange between the two elected officials, Pascal Dousse, member of the minority, tried to calm the debates. “We have an identified risk even if it is a small hazard. Of course we don't force people to buy but we take the responsibility to say that we can build. »
Asked, Gilles Grimaud, 1is deputy, then took the floor to summarize the mayor's remarks. Before she ends the debate and closes the council.
