Hello everyone,

My girlfriend and I have reserved the following building plot through a selection process within a development area:


Site plan with parcels, street layout, and boundary lines


We are still considering whether to ultimately take the plot. We have until early September to decide. We are still at the very beginning of the process. Regarding the orientation of the plot, it is actually quite good (the main entrance could be placed on the north side, with the garden on the south and west sides). What do you think about the feasibility of building a single-family house on this plot?

Thank you very much for your input in advance.

I probably would have chosen a different one. But usually, there is rarely a choice in such cases.

You can build on it like this.

Site plan: orange plot, two blue buildings (house, carport), yellow striped street, green area

The eaves height should be around 6.21 m (20.4 feet) for all of them.
How do you determine the eaves height? In the development plan, the eaves heights are specified relative to sea level.
So for your location, it’s 641 meters (2103 feet) above sea level.

If you really had the luxury of choice.
Just out of curiosity: which one would you have picked?

There are reference elevation points at the roads.
