Brilliant. That’s how we will do it. :-) Instead of the two designated parking spaces, we only need one. :) Most neighbors in our development have a garage plus one parking space, but since the garage is used as storage, they effectively only have one parking space.I would keep the space free, when the garden is laid out, drive over it once with the car, mark the spots with the wheels, put four grass paving stones there, and done. Then a car could always park there
Since you are “only” sowing grass on the second parking space anyway, I assume that’s okay. Because a car can/may also stand on grass. And on your grass, no car is parked because you only have one car. What’s interesting is what the development plan says about how the parking spaces must be equipped; I will check that for our place as well. Your thread inspired me to come up with the idea to do it the same way.... and sow grass everywhere, done! The reason is, ...
Thanks for the hint. I searched at the municipality and actually found something: Who would have thought, but there really is a "parking space statute of the city". It states that you can also apply for a "release from the parking space obligation" at the city. The release amount is a flat rate of 5000 EUR per parking space. However, according to this statute, the application probably should have been submitted BEFORE the building permit was issued (and I think the developer already has the building permit). Well, but it's good to know at first that you might be able to "buy yourself free"/have to.There are probably corresponding regulations from the municipality/in the development plan. Have a look there.
In the residential area, there is another larger "shared parking lot". In addition, there are various free parking options directly on the street in the many side streets.PS: Where should visitors park? Or children?
Yes, that was kind of the idea. But it will probably become critical for us because our garden (including the parking space) also borders a footpath/street, where we would of course like to put up a fence (see picture attached). But putting it over the parking space could be tricky, because then it would be very difficult to get into the parking space :-) (somehow diagonally over parking space 1)Since you are anyway "only" sowing grass on the second parking area, I assume it is okay. Because a car can/may also stand on grass. And a car is simply not standing on your lawn because you only have one car. What is interesting is what the development plan says about how the parking spaces must be equipped; I will take a look at that for our area as well.
I think this situation is more common, but then just check if you don’t do it the same way or see if your municipality also has such a statute for "buying freedom"...Inspired by your thread, I came up with the idea to do it the same way.
I would put a small fence between the two parking spaces and then a sliding gate between the fence and parking space 2. Or alternatively, make the sliding gate large enough to cover both parking spaces. At some point, you’ll have to get a trailer into the garden and then you’ll be glad to have the lowered curb edge.Yes, that was kind of the idea. It will probably get tricky for us, though, because our garden (including the parking space) also borders a footpath/street, where we would of course like to put up a fence (see picture attached). But putting it over the parking space could be tricky because then it would only be very difficult to get into the parking space :) (diagonally over parking space 1 somehow)
Didn't you want a breakfast and laundry drying terrace?Inspired by your thread, I got the idea to do it that way too.
The breakfast terrace is on the other side, by the kitchen. But on the HWT room side, a small terrace is also actually planned. We will decide that once we live in the house and have a better feel for the surroundings and space.Didn't you want a breakfast and laundry drying terrace?
