Dear Building Forum,
We have been ranked 19th in the points system (out of more than 40 building plots total).
In two weeks, we have the appointment where we can choose our building plot (from those available at that time).
The community's letter advises that we should pre-select 19 potential building plots, so that in the worst case, we still receive one of them.
Unfortunately, we find it very difficult to identify good or less optimal locations on the site plan.
Also, the slope of up to 1.5m (5 feet) depending on the plot (if I understand it correctly) makes it hard for us to imagine its impact on the future house.
I have created two conceptual categories:
N/E Development = Plots 16–18 + 25–27 + 31 + 38 + 45
S/W Terrace possible without N/E Development = Plots 8–9 + 11–13 + 15
Plot size of about 550 sqm (6,000 sq ft) would be our preference.
Which plots would you favor and what are the respective pros and cons?
I look forward to your feedback.
Best regards,
Limbrandi

This point about the specification of 1.5 floors confused me. Well, it confused me at first as well. Yvonne mentions here several times in some months that 1.5 floors do not exist in building regulations, and then a municipality uses this colloquial term in an official document. That’s what you might call citizen-friendly administration.
What they might mean is open to speculation: perhaps the reference heights are chosen so unfavorably that despite the nominally sufficient six meters (20 feet) of wall height (practically a “gender-neutral” term for eaves height) and eight and a half meters (28 feet) ridge height, most plots effectively allow only a generous knee wall rather than a fully vertical upper floor. The floor area ratio is set at 0.35 as the only limit on building volume; there is no formal restriction on floor space ratio or number of stories.

If no specific provision is made in the purchase contract, it is just a recommendation.
There are also heat pumps without ground probes. Perhaps this is related to the “water protection” aspect, where deep drilling might be prohibited.

And why? Because the regulations refer strictly to full stories, which are defined as whole numbers. Half is not equal to full! Half means partial, and half-stories do not exist legally.
Maybe the newcomers in the administration have started to put into writing the informal terms they used themselves before, or they are adapting to common usage 😉
Regarding the content itself: there are always (or often only) restrictions defined. In this case, gable, hip, and pyramid roofs apply to single-story houses. This means single-story houses are not allowed to have shed or flat roofs. Two-story houses are not affected.
But I haven’t looked at the zoning plan myself due to time constraints and have only relied on the latest posts.

How would you assess the potential flood risk?
If a basement were considered, it would probably require a waterproof concrete shell (commonly known as a white/black tank). Does this type of construction significantly increase the cost?
And is a gable roof generally cheaper to build than a hip or pyramid roof, due to its simpler design?

I just mentioned that a gable roof might be “suggested” especially due to height considerations. Fundamentally, depending on the structure, a hip roof is usually more complex and costly than a pyramid roof, and both are already more expensive than a gable roof (but again, this depends on the roof frame). It becomes particularly expensive when departing from a rectangular floor plan.

but a wall height of max. 6.0 meters (19.7 feet) and a ridge height of max. 8.5 meters (27.9 feet) with roof pitches between 18° and 32° Dear all who have read the zoning plan: could you please state the exact facts for people like me who currently have little time for this?

Dear all who have read the development plan: could you please summarize the key facts for those like me who currently have little time for it? No. Yesterday, just before bedtime, I was still alert enough to grasp the facts—but not to memorize them. It was already a tiring scavenger hunt, since the municipal website kept redirecting me from one place to another. The clear and concise information for prospective builders in this municipality still, to put it kindly, has "room for improvement." However, over the past 24 hours, I have reported all the points here that I noticed. To summarize: basically, the restrictions allow for something like a "townhouse"; the only unclear part for me was the reference height. But the height regulations are close enough that the height limits could come up short by half a meter (about 20 inches)—and then it would mean more of a "large knee wall instead of a townhouse." Investigating this in more detail seemed beyond the scope of unpaid personal efforts. Professional expertise would be the other doorbell to ring.
