Beaverton Exterior Staircase Correction Response
Beaverton, OR
Seven review comments answered in one resubmittal.
A single-family home in Beaverton, Washington County, adding an exterior staircase from an existing raised deck.
The City's second review returned seven comments. The central one: the stair mixed the Oregon permit-ready deck plan with custom details, and the reviewer asked for one path or the other, the prescriptive plan with only the attachment engineered, or a fully engineered stair.
Chose the prescriptive path: Oregon BCD Permit-Ready Exterior Deck Plan, 2023 ORSC, cut stringers option Added a 36 by 36 inch bottom landing, mid-span stringer posts and a third stringer at 18 inches on center Detailed the guard openings and the aluminum rail post attachment from the manufacturer's evaluation report Coordinated a licensed structural engineer for the one element outside the prescriptive path, the upper landing attachment to the existing deck Wrote a comment-by-comment response letter with every change clouded
All seven comments answered in one resubmittal, with a conformance table that lets the plans examiner check every value against the permit-ready plan. Project complete.
