House and garage - How best to place them on the properties?

Hello dear building friends,

we recently purchased two plots where a small new development (11 detached single-family houses) is being created. We ourselves are planning to build a town villa with a living area of about 160 sqm.

You are probably wondering why two plots... one parcel was too small for a detached single-family house for us, so we bought two because we would like to have somewhat "more" space in the garden.

One parcel has 305 sqm and the other 267 sqm. Together we have 572 sqm. (Parcels 1654 and 1656) Including access even 622 sqm. The plot is approximately 19 meters deep and 30 meters wide.

Now to our questions:

How should we place the house most advantageously on the plots?

Access to the houses is actually intended via the Süd-West street (parcel 1652). The street there is 4.5 meters wide. On the North-East side, a footpath 2 meters wide is planned.

The blue line on the drawing is the building boundary. No 3 meter distance has to be kept to the footpath. Here 1.5 / 2 meters are sufficient. I think the most advantageous placement of the house would be in the North-East corner with the front door facing the footpath, so that we have the entire garden to the South-West side.

But how can the garage be conveniently placed there?

I think the garage makes most sense at the boundary of parcel 1653 owned by the neighbor.

I have drawn up 4 variants that we have thought through once.

Variant 1:

If we place the garage directly next to the house, we would have to go through the back door of the garage every time to get to the house entrance and would have only one parking space in front of the garage, which would be inconvenient for two cars.

Variant 2:

Garage with distance to the house. This way we would have space for the second parking space. In this variant, however, we would already have to fence the garden by the parking spaces so that not everyone can look into the garden. We would also "waste" a lot of space in this variant and would have to pave the path in front of the garage, leading forward and in front of the house.

Variant 3:

Similar to variant 2, but the fencing is placed somewhat differently. Here the garden area next to the garage could still be used as garden, but then you would have to always go out of the garage through the garden gate and walk forward to the house.

In all three variants, the paths to the house entrance are very long.

Besides, I have never seen a garage placed with its back wall facing the side of the house entrance. I only know it where the garage door is placed on the side of the house entrance or the house has the entrance on the side next to the garage.

Variant 4:

The variant we like best would be access via the footpath to the garage. Actually, the footpath was intended as a footpath and will be paved 2 meters wide during development. We could widen the path by about 1 meter, then we would have a 3 meter wide street/footpath via which we could drive to the garage. We would only have to pave the meter ourselves and shift our house 1 meter further, which would not be a problem considering the size of the plot. According to the development plan and city information, this would also be possible without any problems. We have walking, driving, and utility rights in favor of the residents for the footpath. In this variant, we could also place the garage directly next to the house and use the second parking space in front of the utility room window.

Variants 1 - 3 might be possible if the house entrance is placed on the garage side, but then I wouldn’t know how we should change the floor plan.

How would you place the house and garage? Maybe you can help us a little and give us new ideas that will help us move forward.

Hm. 1st thought: why are - warning cliché drawer on - "the Germans" always so panicked that someone might look into their garden? Do you lie around naked there all the time? Do you want to bury your gold bars unseen? Sorry, I never understand that. But well, if you like to barricade yourself, go ahead (as long as the development plan allows it and he is not my neighbor ) 2nd thought: will you probably only get 1 package delivered this way? I find option 2 the most sensible, namely a proper access from the street to the house. I don’t know the layout of the 1st floor, but wouldn’t it be more sensible to swap the entrance and the toilet?

Regarding point 1, it is not only about fencing for isolation from the neighbors, but also about our child and the children who will visit us. They should be able to play in the garden and not run directly onto the street... since the street runs right there. Therefore, at least a small fence should be put up.

Regarding point 2, I have already thought about this point as well. This would of course be unfavorable in variant 4.

We are unsure about all variants, which is why I am asking what you would advise us.

For all variants with access from the street, I only see making the house entrance from the side as a sensible option. I have not yet seen a garage directly at the house where the back faces the house entrance... I just cannot quite imagine it.

The floor plan is not set in stone yet.
I have also attached the floor plan above.

Maybe you can give me a tip on how the floor plan can be adjusted accordingly with an entrance from the side.

we recently acquired two plots of land where a small new development area (11 single-family houses) is being built. We ourselves are planning the construction of a townhouse with a living area of about 160 sqm.

Is that even permitted in terms of building planning law - 1 house on 2 plots?

And are there regulations that the access is only allowed via the residential street that branches off from the "Eichenforst" road?

Is that even legally permissible under building planning law - 1 house on 2 plots of land?

And are there requirements that the access must only be via the residential street that branches off from the street "Eichenforst"?

There are no building planning law issues with constructing 1 house on 2 plots of land.
There is also no requirement that the access must be via the street.

The private road over our plots of land as well as the sidewalk under our plots of land are designated in the development plan as pedestrian, driving, and utility rights in favor of the residents. Thus, there is also a driving right for the residents. The only problem is that the planned "footpath" will be paved only 2 meters wide. If we want to use the path as a "street," we would have to pave it somewhat wider. 2 meters would be rather narrow for a car.

Are you always lying around naked?

Clear YES. You not?
