Hello everyone,
We are planning to build a single-family house with a ground-level granny flat (about 40-50sqm (430-540 sq ft)) for grandma. The lot is 19m (62 ft) wide and 32m (105 ft) long. We would like to use the full allowable width for the house so that both living units on the ground floor have enough space and don’t feel cramped.
Now I’m wondering if I’m allowed to build the house 13m (43 ft) wide and 10m (33 ft) deep. To the right of the house, I want to build a carport where we would park two cars in tandem along the 10m (33 ft) length of the house. According to my city’s requirements, I need to provide 1.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit. So I planned to put the third parking space in front of the house in the front yard. Now I’m questioning whether this is allowed, or if the two parking spaces next to the house must be realized in a double carport that is 6m (20 ft) wide. If that is the case, the house could only be 10m (33 ft) wide, making it impossible to include a ground-level granny flat.
The development plan says:
Parking spaces and garages are only permitted within the buildable areas of the lot. Exceptionally, for residential buildings with one dwelling unit, one parking space in front of the garage is allowed and can be counted according to the city of Bad Nauheim’s parking regulations. For residential buildings with two dwelling units, one parking space in the front yard is allowed exceptionally.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Dave

Hello Dave. May I ask how you eventually managed to build the three parking spaces? I’m very curious whether you’ll still get an answer to that question:
1. The original poster was last seen on: January 27, 2014
2. You didn’t follow the most basic rule (I’ll do it for you this time, but please remember it yourself next time) to actually tag @davegoldmann in his thread to get his attention.
