Hello dear forum!
We are still in the planning phase for our new construction in Brandenburg, with the plot already fixed (20 m x 30 m). An initial conversation with the preferred construction company revealed that, due to the municipality's parking space regulation, we must provide three parking spaces. Furthermore, we were informed that the desired garage could only begin 8 m away from the street. To our understanding, this 8 m results from the sum of the necessary access and exit length between the garage and the public traffic area of 3 m according to § 2 Abs. 1 BbgGStV and the minimum length of a required parking space of 5 m according to § 4 Abs. 1 BbgGStV.
We tried to visualize the whole thing; one grid square corresponds to 0.5 m x 0.5 m. The parking space inside the garage is referred to as X1, the parking space in front of the garage as X2, and the parking space parallel to the street as X3. Accordingly, an arrangement as shown in Figure 1 would result. Parking spaces X1 and X2 would be the actually used parking spaces, parking space X3 merely a necessary reservation that could also be less easily accessible (due to the narrow street and the small turning radius, it could probably only be reached from one direction, which would not be a problem for us).
Since we find this 8 m distance for the garage very disadvantageous, we would like to simply explore with your help whether this is really necessary, or what alternative solutions you might see (the house should, if possible, not be moved further back).
A reading of the BbgBO and the BbgGStV revealed, at least from a layman's perspective, no indication that the planned parking space X2 may not also overlap with the necessary access and exit length between the garage and the public traffic area of 3 m according to § 2 Abs. 1 BbgGStV. Parking spaces are per se not buildings and thus do not themselves trigger setback areas. If parking space X2 were now moved into the necessary access and exit length, a more favorable use of the plot would result, as can be seen in Figure 2.
If applicable, an arrangement of parking spaces X2 and X3 as shown in Figure 3 might also be conceivable to make parking space X3 easier to reach. This would, however, involve a larger driveway as well as a bigger gate. If an overlap of parking spaces X2 and X3 with the necessary access and exit length is not possible, this would lead to the 8 m distance variant shown in Figure 4.
How wide would a garage have to be at a minimum to be considered a double garage, at least on paper? Maybe the whole thing could be solved that way. We can certainly well imagine the variants shown in Figures 2 and 3, if possible. We are definitely looking forward to your input. The construction company is completely stuck on this matter.
Many thanks and have a nice evening!
