we have reserved a plot of land and would like to build a townhouse with two full floors and no basement. However, according to the development plan, the eaves height is fixed at 5.50 meters (18 feet). Is this even possible on the upper floor without sloped ceilings? We will start looking for an architect in the coming days, but regardless, I am already very interested to know if our plan can be implemented at all.
Excerpt from the development plan:
Reference point for building heights: The eaves height is measured on the valley side exterior wall of the building, from the natural (existing) ground level up to the top edge of the roof supporting structure. For determining the ridge height of gable, tent, hipped, and half-hipped roofs, the building heights (the highest point of the building) of mono-pitched and offset mono-pitched roofs, as well as the parapet height of flat roofs, the natural ground level present on the valley side also applies. If different heights are measured on the valley side of the building, the average height is assumed. For buildings on slopes, the permitted eaves height may be exceeded by 1.0 meter (3 feet) on the uphill side of offset mono-pitched roofs. A slope is defined as ground with an incline of at least 10% measured along the fall line within the building footprint.
For your information: Our plot has an elevation difference of 2 meters (6.5 feet) over 20 meters (65 feet), while the house is 12 meters (39 feet) wide.
We would be very happy to receive feedback from you! Thank you!
