ᐅ Eave Height and Roof Design in New Construction Planning

Hello everyone,
after successfully applying for a building plot, I have now received the reservation confirmation.

Now the question arises regarding the planning of the single-family house.

In the textual regulations of the development plan, it states "The eaves height, measured from the top edge of the finished ground floor slab to the intersection of the outer edge of the rising external masonry with the roof covering, must not exceed 3.50 m (11 ft 6 in)."

Two full stories are permitted, and the maximum ridge height is 8.50 m (28 ft).

As for roof types, shed, gable, and hipped roofs are allowed. The permitted roof pitch ranges from 28° to 35°.

I would like to build a "city villa," which usually has an eaves height above 3.50 m (11 ft 6 in), since the first upper floor is typically built without a roof slope, and there are two full stories with a hip or pyramid roof.

Now to my question:
A pyramid roof is a type of hipped roof. Is your pyramid roof automatically approved if a hipped roof is allowed in the development plan? And does the eaves height restriction always apply, regardless of whether you build one or two stories? In a neighboring development area, the regulation states:
"The building height at the eaves side, measured from the top edge of the finished ground floor slab to the intersection of the outer edge of the rising external masonry with the roof covering, must be between 3.0 and 3.8 m (9 ft 10 in and 12 ft 6 in) in the area designated for single-story construction."

This sounds as if the eaves height restriction only applies to single-story buildings and not to two-story buildings?!

So, if the 3.50 m (11 ft 6 in) eaves height limit is fixed, the dream of a "city villa" would probably be over :-(

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Does this help clarify the remaining issues?

No.

However, this requires a site plan of the property with precisely measured property boundaries, building limits, and especially elevations, including planned street heights.

Do you still have any open points?

What "a" ("deviating construction method") means after II for the number of floors in the development plan, I did not see explained.

§ 6 Deviating construction method according to § 22 subsection 4 of the Land Use Ordinance
In the planning area, single-family and duplex houses are not allowed to exceed a maximum length of 25 meters (82 feet) as defined in § 22 subsection 2 of the Land Use Ordinance.

sloping northward

In "my" development plan, the land rises to the north. That way, the photovoltaic system will work well.

I haven’t found an elevation plan yet

Have you found a site plan ("Building Plot No. 1")?

I also see a nice shed roof opening towards the south. However, I doubt that the idea of a shed roof house sparks much enthusiasm among fans of townhouses.

yes, of course. It was already too late

So, the site data/dimensions and the specifications from the zoning plan are now fully available.

It’s a pity that the city villa probably won’t work out.

Are there any site-related constructive suggestions regarding the house construction method? The living area should be as large as possible while complying with the zoning plan. The terraces/balconies should face south, and the house is planned to include a basement.

Is it possible to determine the orientation of the house based on the zoning plan? Should it be positioned lengthwise or widthwise? It is shown lengthwise, with the longer side running from north to south.

I really don’t understand why I end up on the ignore list so often with the original posters.
Anyway.
