I am in agreement with the code modification.
Thank you.

Subject: Permit #PRRN220637 stair variance
Hi Todd,
This email is regarding our phone conversion from earlier today about the basement stairs not meeting current code. We discussed this months back and I never reached out to complete the variance request- my apologies.
Back story- this is a basement remodel adding partition walls to create 2 new bedrooms, a bathroom, and living space. The old basement stairs were significantly out of code, with rises varying from 7.5” to nearly 10”. We rebuilt the stringers and treads to come as close to existing code as possible. We have a consistent 8” rise on each stair- however we missed headroom on 3 treads due to an existing (out of code) staircase above the one I am currently describing. There was no way to meet this requirement without compromising the structure of the stringers above. The treads I’m referencing are the 3rd, 4th, and 5th tread from the bottom of the stairs. Headroom measurements are listed below as taken from the nose of the tread to the ceiling above:
3rd tread- 77”
4th tread- 78.5”
5th tread- 79.75”
All other treads meet required headroom. Please let me know if these distances will qualify for a variance and if I can provide any additional information to better describe the situation.
Thank you for your help,
Mark Stepp

Miscellaneous
While the plans show egress window location coinciding with the proposed bedrooms and basement requirements, glass area in habitable rooms shall not be less than 8% of floor area served. One-half of this area must be available for unobstructed ventilation with screens included. Artificial lights and/or mechanical ventilation (see ventilation section) may be used. Plans shall show compliance with IRC Section R303.1 and please label them as Egress per IRC R311. We assume the window wells will have ladders if needed, unless height meets the minimums.
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
Fenestration U-factors windows and doors less than or equal to 0.30 will be required. This will apply for all glazing in windows and doors installed on-site. The builder shall leave the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) labels on all windows and doors with glazing at time of rough inspections so inspectors can verify the glazing requirements.
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
Residential bathrooms without windows for natural ventilation shall exhaust 50 CFM minimum to the exterior. An AC powered, UL listed smoke detector with battery backup shall be located in the vicinity of all bedroom entrance doors and inside each bedroom. Provide a minimum of one AC powered UL listed smoke detector with battery backup at the bottom of the stair for basements without bedrooms. All detectors within the house should be interconnected so that the activation of any alarm will sound all alarms throughout the house.
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
Stairways Guardrails/Handrails: Drawings must at minimum include information that at minimum references IRC code sections so we know the home will be constructed to comply. I suggest adding standard boiler plate comments on your plans that state this. Stairways to be constructed per IRC R311.7 through IRC R311.8.3, this blanket statement covers all stairs, guardrails and handrails.

OWTS
Spoke with contractor regarding OWTS the home was built in 1974 more than likely a septic permit was not issued. This would make the system 48 years old well past the end of it's operating life. RCEH has asked for an inspection and a permit to make the property compliant. New owners purchased in 2021 may not have been aware of the age of system.

Owners applied one month ago for permit. WSG conducted the design see uploaded information. Current system must be abandoned in accordance with regulations
