Hello :)
we are about to purchase a plot of land and are dealing with the associated development plan. We would have wished for the possibility of a second full floor, which is not possible/seems not to be possible. As a compromise, an attic with a very high knee wall and a correspondingly flat roof would be conceivable. My information is as follows: maximum building height 9m, pitch angle 30 - 52° possible. Here is the wording regarding the attic:
"According to § 16 and § 20 of the Federal Land Utilization Ordinance, construction with one full floor (Z I) and a floor area ratio (floor area ratio) of up to a maximum of 0.35 is permitted. Above the permitted full floor, extensions with at least one sloped roof as well as extensions that are set back from at least one exterior wall of the building are only permitted if they cover at most 3/4 of the gross floor area of the underlying floor at a height of ≥ 2.3 m"
Can anyone recommend a program/calculator or similar with which a calculation of the roof pitch and knee wall is possible? I think our absolute minimum requirement for the knee wall is 1.50m, rather 1.80m; otherwise the purchase would not be an option. A conversation with the responsible authority has not been possible so far due to Covid-19.
Best regards
