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!

Are there any other site-specific structural suggestions regarding the construction method of the house? …haven’t you already received those in relation to the repeatedly mentioned monopitched roof?!

Is it possible to tell from the zoning plan how the house must be oriented? Like sideways or upright? It is shown upright with the long side running from north to south! Interestingly, the green plan with the red gable-roof houses mostly shows the development outside the building envelopes defined in the zoning plan – I would call that misleading in the brochure, and I wouldn’t give it any importance. Officially, the ridge orientation would be indicated by a vector on the plan and/or mentioned in the text.

However, according to "your" development plan, the eaves height does not refer to the ground level but to the top edge of the finished ground floor slab, which is set at a maximum of 107m (351 ft) above standard sea level for your plot. Therefore, the terrain topography does not matter to you. Only your ground floor height needs to be fine-tuned. That is why, in my illustration, the upper floor must be designated as the ground floor. Whether this will be approved, I do not know, but at the moment, I see nothing that should prevent it.

Therefore, the terrain topography does not matter to you. Only your ground floor height needs fine adjustment. That is why the upper floor in my drawing has to be designated as the ground floor. Whether that will be accepted, I do not know, but at the moment I see nothing that should speak against it.Of course, I lack practical experience here, but as a layperson, I would at least be critical of defining what is actually the upper floor as the ground floor.
While browsing online, I noticed that there are townhouses that have a step between the ground floor and upper floor and effectively two eaves.
Heinz von Heiden, for example, offers something like this as the "Falkensee" townhouse. That should be possible, right, or would the second/upper eaves then also apply?
