A stair run quietly redesigned out of the side setback — with the zoning section cited on-sheet so the reviewer had nothing left to question.
A KC deck builder's planned stair run for a second-story deck landed inside the 5-ft side setback. Stairs sometimes qualify as an allowed encroachment — but only if the plan proves the projection stays within the code's 30-inch allowance.
We redesigned the stair to switch back along the rear of the deck, keeping the structure fully outside the setback, and dimensioned the deck posts, footings, and the 5'-3" side clearance. A note cited the zoning section so the reviewer didn't have to research the encroachment question at all.
Approved first-pass. The builder said it was the first time a reviewer hadn't called him with questions on a two-story deck.
They redesigned my stair run before I'd even built myself into a corner. That's a drafting service that actually thinks.
