ᐅ Floor Plan of a Narrow, Rectangular L-Shaped House on a Triangular Plot with an Oak Tree

Hello everyone!
We have purchased a triangular plot of land. As if that weren’t complicated enough, there is also a large oak tree that must be considered during the planning. In our initial considerations, it quickly became clear that the floor plan will have an L-shape.
Does anyone here have experience with this type of plot and a correspondingly shaped floor plan? What additional information is needed to get meaningful advice?
Best regards

This is now to scale, based on your hand sketch and Google Maps.
Honestly, why would someone buy something like this? I’m saying it for the third time: under these conditions, the plot is not buildable, not even with a boundary wall along the street. I added two red arrows so you can see how serious the situation really is. I thought it was bad, but the reality is even worse.
Or is it a misunderstanding, and the 1.5m (5 feet) clearance only has to be maintained from the trunk?
Hmm, but it doesn’t make sense to just place the tree randomly on the line. If you move the trunk 5 meters (16 feet) to the left, then you would have enough space for a 6-meter (20 feet) wide house. Of course, there’s more space in between as well.
By the way, there are some great narrow houses; many are even recognized or nominated in architectural awards. However, they don’t suit everyone.
The large diameter of the oak tree is also due to it being a multi-stemmed oak. A photo including the plot can be found on the developer’s website for the Tuchmacherviertel under "the site." The sketches showing the tree’s position are visually quite close to the photo. The trunk might be slightly further to the left.

No, look, there’s Google Maps underneath and the tree is placed quite accurately.
You don’t have to build on every inch of the city. In my opinion, this belongs to that. Cancel the purchase if possible. Anything else is nonsense.

You don’t have to build on every little corner in the city. In my opinion, this is part of it. Cancel the purchase if possible. Anything else is just nonsense.And if you also have to subtract 2 meters (6.5 feet) at the bottom, oh dear... on a mobile phone you unfortunately only see half of it at a time, and scrolling consumes data...
