1) Page FP2 indicates the ware house is NIC. The warehouse is covered under the scope of the master permit. 1:13.3.3.4.1.6

a)Provide letter from the owner and sealed by designer articulating storage method, arrangement, height, commodity and packaging in the storage/warehouse area (including mezzanine). This will need to be provided to sprinkler contractor and turned in to our office for the record.

b) Provide a letter from either a sprinkler engineer or contractor confirming that the existing sprinkler design/hazard class will still protect this warehouse with the intended/desired storage use described by the owner.

NOTE: IF the existing sprinkler hazard class can not protect the intended storage method have sprinkler engineer or contractor guide you on alter method of storage that will meet the existing sprinkler hazard class.

Monday, September 26, 2022 Received a) the owners certificate and b) engineering evaluation completed by Mr. Alan N Watt (both 8x11 reports will be turned into be scanned). Short summary from Mr. Watt: "The existing system can work if storage height is limited to 10 feet above the floor, 5 feet for mattresses. The increase to 20 feet of storage will require a hydraulic redesign to see if the existing piping is adequate for the amount of water required, all warehouse sprinkler heads will have to be replaced and a row of in-rack sprinklers will be required."

The architect, Mr. Jason Canning updated his plan page A1.0 to indicate "No storage of commodities above 10' height" and "No storage of mattresses above 5' height". (This can be seen in building revision reviewed today also).
