ᐅ Placement of Single-Family House and Large Garage on a Property with a Sewage System

Hello everyone,
We have had a plot of land reserved by the municipality for quite some time (since May 2021) and have already started planning with house manufacturers based on this plot. When we made the final decision to purchase, we naturally requested the land registry entry and the corresponding site plans.
It turned out that the land registry includes a limited personal easement in favor of the municipality for a sewer line running across the property. Additionally, the distance from any building structures to the sewer line must be at least 2.50 m (8 feet 2 inches) along the entire sewer route. This was an unpleasant situation for us because the location we had currently planned—especially for the double garage—will no longer work.
Now we wonder if anyone here in the forum might have an idea on how to arrange the house so that a double garage measuring 6 m x 7 m (20 feet x 23 feet) can still be accommodated, while also allowing for a garden on the southwest side.
We are quite at a loss right now and question whether the building project as we wish to realize it is even feasible on this plot.
Here are the framework conditions:
- The street on the east side is the main road through the small village with fewer than 1,000 residents (restricted to trucks)
- Development is governed according to §34 (German Building Code, typically “in accordance with the immediate surroundings”)
- The access is originally planned from the street on the west side but could also be from the south; however, we think that is not ideal due to a slight incline there (see attached photos)
- The large garage must be accommodated on the property.
- Basically, no parameter of the planning is set in stone yet.
I have attached the site plans of the property, photos of the plot, and our preferred plan so far. In the placement plans, the part of the land that cannot be built upon is marked in red, but it still includes our intended location for the single-family house and garage.
If any information is missing, I will be happy to provide it.
Looking forward to your suggestions and discussion.
Best regards

I happened to see this floor plan elsewhere (which is certainly open to debate and is only intended here to illustrate window placement): If you arrange it in a similar way, you can almost fully attach the garage on the north side. Natural light enters the open staircase area through the upper floor window, and the guest/office room receives light from the west, eliminating the need for a north-facing window. This means that on the north side, starting from the main entrance (facing west), there are no more windows, allowing you to preserve much of the garden by building a nearly flush garage.
