Main Plumbing Vent Location?

Working on a house where the entire roof of the main house is a roof terrace.

Can you suggest a code approved location for the single 3" vent stack?

I have looked at the code but nothing but a vent 7 feet tall above the roof deck works.

And it can not be in the Daylight plane for the local restrictions.

First gut reaction is you probably need to provide a vertical element to house the vent.  I have worked on multifamily housing with roof decks and this was handled with a "chimney" to house these vents.  But, perhaps others can chime in.

You might double check the zoning code to see if certain projections above height limit are allowable, eg. chimneys, antennae, etc.  Just a thought.

 

Here's an example from project I'm working on.
