C. Alternate Materials and Interpretations; Appeals
A. This guide is not intended to prevent the use of any alternate material, design,
or method of construction not specifically prescribed in this guide.
Modifications must be approved by the Building Official via a building code
appeal.
B. The Building Official may grant an appeal when there are practical difficulties
involved in carrying out the provisions of this guide as follows:
1) The Building Official determines that a unique individual reason exists,
making the strict compliance with the letter of this rule impractical; and
2) When the modification does not lessen any fire protection requirements,
any degree of structural integrity, or create health or safety hazards
including but not limited to changes to stormwater, sewer, and drinking
water systems.
*Note: A variance, approved by Oregon DEQ is required to modify onsite wastewater
requirements. Reference OAR 340-071-0415.
