I just don’t think that the knee wall can be made arbitrarily large.
Asked the other way around: if not, how is the upper floor supposed to become a full floor?
For that, it would have to break the full-floor bar. However, that probably requires a substantial knee wall.
Yes, because the answer to the OP’s question
you owe us.
Forcedly, since I am not the building department official. I have indeed speculated, similarly to you,
The building type "urban villa" is excluded by the development plan, since the 2nd floor is not an attic floor. Does it perhaps already become an attic floor if I simply leave out the ceiling to the roof structure or maybe start the roof structure at 2.45m?
that such open roof undersides could create a combined full-and-attic floor. However, because of the minimum 28° roof pitch, I discarded that again, as that is, first, an "upper limit" for me, and second, the roof pitch suggests wanting to enable standing height in the attic.
Therefore, I switched to considering it more likely that only "zero living space" in the sense of the land use ordinance may exist above. But
I find the question very exciting and certainly worth discussing.
and best of all if the OP would obtain a statement from the responsible authority. Because if we contribute different assessments, that probably creates more confusion than clarification. For that, a "responsible person" is needed—"experts" (also with different backgrounds and opinions) are not enough.
What quarrel do you mean? I find it interesting how some city planners make life difficult for builders, architects, and approval authorities with impractical regulations.
By quarrel I mean when conflicting views are asserted with the same certainty. And the questioner mainly gains uncertainty :-(
One of the discussants is a surveying engineer, who is at least adjacent to the field. Another is a management consultant, who at least stereotypically always has knowledge inversely proportional to their opinion—but of course you can never be totally sure. And then others join in, and the questioner wants to shout: "Broom, broom, you are gone!"
Only the one who devised this full roof floor (or full attic floor) can "decisively" clarify. He must know what ideas drove him there.
Why didn’t they simply set minimal and maximal eave and ridge heights?
That would be, if you also added the floor area or building mass number, the ideally proportional development plan from my side. You don’t need this nonsense of also creating catalogs of front yard shrubs (of course within the botanical horizon of the municipal council) for peace in the building area.
