So once again: I understand that a building must comply with the distance areas (usually at least 3m) and that a garage generally does not have to do so. And I also know that a garage practically becomes a building if you build a terrace on the roof, because the terrace creates a building-like effect and therefore the 3m distance area must be observed.
But now we have public green space/traffic area next to us and no neighbors on this side. And in the Landesbauordnung RLP it states that the distance areas can also lie on the public traffic/green space. (§8 Abs. 2 Landesbauordnung RLP)
