Dear Forum,
Since our preferred building area is no longer available due to planning issues or will be significantly delayed, we have started looking for new plots near Berlin.
After months of searching, we have finally found a suitable plot.
We are now wondering where the house should be roughly positioned on the lot.
Information:
Plot size: 608 m² (6540 sq ft)
Slope: yes, on the northeast side
Building setback and boundary: 3 m (10 ft) from the neighbor
Edge development: permitted for garages, carports, sheds
Parking spaces: 1–2
Number of floors: 2 full stories
Height limit: none
I have roughly drafted a layout plan by hand:
We have already marked the house on it. However, we are unsure:
1. Does the house make sense in this position?
2. Should we choose a rectangular footprint instead of a townhouse style?
What are your thoughts?
Thank you very much for your advice!

Is Eight times Eleven thirty-five now an actually "planned" house or just the automatic dimensioning of a random rectangle? After consulting with the developer, we have a lot of freedom in how we shift the exterior wall as long as the building volume remains unchanged.
So this is more like a "random rectangle."

Is the driveway access via the side street mandatory/preferred, or could you also drive onto your property from the main road to the south? Unfortunately, it is mandatory because there is about a 3m (10 feet) wide green strip between the road and the property. This strip may only be crossed at certain points. Therefore, there is only a single shared driveway for all four properties.

Is it allowed to bury something in the dune? No. We are not allowed to make any structural changes to the archaeological site. Of course, we can plant vegetation there. But nothing may be removed or added.

I planned the double carport. But if you only have one car, there should at least be a second parking space provided. Is there a way to position the carport so that it can be driven into and out of in one continuous movement, both forwards and backwards?

That now looks a bit like a slope. Do you possibly have an elevation plan? You should have one for planning purposes. Unfortunately, we don’t have that yet.

The picket fence marks the property boundary?
The neighbors have left about 3m (10 feet) free up to the fence. Is that also planned for you? Exactly. The fence marks the lower boundary towards the street.
Within the 3m (10 feet) building setback zone, only garages, carports, sheds, or similar structures are allowed to be built.

So it is more of an "approximate rectangle." However, compared to nine times nine, it is an increase of 12 percent if the house is not lower than before. Is there a concrete design now or not?

Some of them at least also show archaeological sites. It can’t just be a rectangle like that.
It looks like the eastern neighbor has also intervened in the dune?
Here’s another idea.

If you give me the exact location, I’m happy to look up the data myself.
