ᐅ From which point is the 5.50-meter distance between the garage and the street measured?

We have decided to forgo the carport (see photo) and instead install a prefabricated garage. The street runs at an angle. According to the development plan (see pink marking in the photo excerpt), a distance of 5.50 meters (18 feet) must be maintained between the street and the garage. Does anyone know if this 5.50-meter (18 feet) clearance to the garage is measured along the longest side (i.e., the boundary with the neighbor) or the shortest side? Or must the 5.50-meter (18 feet) distance be maintained along the entire length of the street frontage?
My husband thinks that since the street is angled, he can choose where to measure the distance (he’s a technician; he believes in physical laws but not in administrative regulations) 🙂 but he doesn’t want me to call the building authority to confirm. ;-) Now I’m worried that if the garage (built on the expensive concrete slab) is in place, we might have to dismantle everything again if we only keep the 5.50-meter (18 feet) distance on the longer side.
Thank you very much for your help.

The 4.40 should be 5.50. I don’t understand why you don’t get it. These are simple terms, explanations, and sentences that even read quite clearly in the plan you provided. You hardly need any logical reasoning at all. It’s kind of like my granddaughter’s puzzle: a square doesn’t fit into a triangle 😉
4.40 is shorter than 5.50…

That’s exactly why this distance requirement should be waived for an electric gate.
I would definitely inquire about that.As far as I know, the minimum distance is also intended to ensure there is a full parking space in front of the garage (even if the parking space inside the garage is then “trapped”).
The 5.5 meters (18 feet) is about being able to get off the street quickly. So you don’t have to open any gates while blocking the entire street with your car. This space is simply enough for a car to fit. Whether the car stays there longer or just for opening a gate doesn’t matter. It’s not meant to be a full parking space or anything like that; the goal is just to avoid inconveniencing anyone unnecessarily.
Our development plan specifies that the distance must be "in any case" 5.5 meters (18 feet), meaning that for a structure placed at an angle, the 5.5 meters (18 feet) must be maintained at the point closest to the street.
