Per CFC 903 .4, all valves controlling the water supply for automatic sprinkler systems, pumps, tanks, water levels and temperatures, critical air pressures, and water-flow switches on all sprinkler systems (if serving >20 sprinklers) shall be electrically supervised. Alarm, supervisory and trouble signals shall be distinctly different and shall be automatically transmitted to an approved central station, remote supervising station or proprietary supervising station as defined in NFPA 72 or, when approved by the fire code official, shall sound an audible signal at a constantly attended location. Approved audible devices shall be connected to every automatic sprinkler system. Such sprinkler water-flow alarm devices shall be activated by water flow equivalent to the flow of a single sprinkler of the smallest orifice size installed in the system. Alarm devices shall be provided on the exterior of the building in an approved location. Where a fire alarm system is installed, actuation of the automatic sprinkler system shall actuate the building fire alarm system. (Attachment #8) 4.3 Building Access/Doors Where access is required in CFC Section 503, fire apparatus access roads shall be provided within 150 feet of all portions of the exterior walls of the first story of the building or facility as measured by an approved route. Fire apparatus access roads shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 20 feet, except for approved security gates in accordance with Section 503.6, and an unobstructed vertical clearance of not less than 13 feet 6 inches. The fire code official shall have the authority to Rev I.I Page 8 Callaway Golf-2081 Faraday )~ KLAUSBRUCKNER Avenue, BldI? I, Carlsbad, CA AND ASSOClATCS I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I require an increase in the minimum access widths where they are inadequate for fire or rescue operations. Fire apparatus access roads shall be designed and maintained to support the imposed loads of fire apparatus and shall be surfaced so as to provide all-weather driving capabilities. The required turning radius of a fire apparatus access road shall be determined by the fire code official. Dead-end fire apparatus access roads in excess of 150 feet in length shall be provided with an approved area for turning around fire apparatus. The grade of the fire apparatus access road shall be within the limits established by the fire code official based on the fire department's apparatus. (Attachment #9) Per CFC Section 2306.6.1.1 a minimum of one access door shall be provided in each 100 lineal feet, or fraction thereof, of the exterior walls that face required fire apparatus access roads. The required access doors shall be distributed such that the lineal distance between adjacent access doors does not exceed 100 feet. Access roads and access doors are existing and have been previously approved as part of the shell building .. (Attachment #9) 4.4 Smoke and Heat Vents Based on CFC Table 2306.2, smoke and heat vents are required for high piled storage areas of High Hazard (Group A) commodities if>2,500 ft2• (Attachment #10) As draft curtains are not required by that same table, CFC Table 910.3 allows the ratio of floor space to smoke and heat vents to be based on the values for draft curtains with a depth of 6' -0". The requirement would be a ratio of 1 ft2 of vent area to every 40 ft2 of floor space, as the storage height is greater than 20'-0" but less than 30'-0". With a storage height maximum of25'-0", using the ratio of 1 :40, the required venting would be at least 1,300 ft2, based on approximately 52,718 ft2 of floor space [high piled storage plus 15' beyond or to a permanent partition]. This equates to approximately forty- one ( 41) vents, 4 'x8' each. Currently there are twenty four 4' x 8' smoke and heat vents, which provide a total 768 ft2 of vent area over the rack storage and 15' beyond. Therefore 17 additional smoke and heat vents are required. Based on CFC Section 910.2.1, smoke and heat vents are not required in buildings and portions thereof used as a Group F-1 or S-1 occupancy having less than 50,000 square feet of undivided area. (Attachment # 10) 4.5 Curtain Boards No curtain boards are required by Chapter 23, Table 2306.2 of the CFC.

One extinguisher may provide coverage to a maximum of 4000 ft2. Fire extinguisher types and locations will be provided by the owners or fire extinguisher vendor and approved by the fire department. 4. 7 Aisle Widths Per CFC 2306.9.1.1, aisles in sprinklered buildings shall be a minimum of 44 inches. Per CFC 2306.9.1 (Exception 1) cross aisles used only for employee access between aisles shall be a minimum of 24 inches in width. (Attachment # 13). Dead ends greater than 50 feet in high piled storage areas are not recommended. (Attachment # 14). The owners agree to meet the above requirements for aisle widths, and dead ends. 4.8 General Fire Protection & Maintenance The following are general maintenance and safety requirements, of which Callaway Golf agrees to comply with: • Per CFC 2305.3, smoking shall be.prohibited. Approved NO SMOKING signs shall be conspicuously posted. • Per CFC 2305.4, when restocking is not being conducted, aisles shall be kept clear of storage, waste materials and debris. Fire department access doors, aisles and exit doors shall be unobstructed. During restocking operations using manual stocking methods, a minimum unobstructed aisle width of 24 inches of the required aisle width shall be maintained in 48 inch or smaller aisles. (Attachment # 15) Per CFC 2308.3, flue spaces shall be maintained for rack storage (Attachment #16). • Single Row Racks: Transverse-3-inches & Longitudinal-None Required • Double Row Racks Option #1: Transverse-6-inches & Longitudinal -None Required • Double Row Racks Option #2: Transverse -3-inches & Longitudinal -6-inches Rev 1.1 Page 10 Callaway Golf-2081 Faraday \~ KL.AUSBRUCl<NER Avenue, Bldf! 1, Carls.bad, CA ANO ASSOCIATES I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Means of Egress A complete exit analysis is outside the scope of this report and, when required, will be provided by the Architect of Record.

Exposures 7.1 Occupancy Separation Occupancy separation is not required between B, F-1 and S-1 occupancies. Based on CBC Table 508.3.3, there are no requirements for mixed occupancy fire barrier walls between B, F-1 and S-1 occupancies. (Attachment #18). Per CFC Section 2306.3 .2.1, the aggregate of all high-piled storage areas within a building shall be used for the application of Table 2306.2 unless such areas are separated from each other by 1-hour fire barrier walls constructed in accordance with the California Building Code. Openings in such walls shall be protected by opening protective assemblies having a I-hour fire protection rating. As Callaway Golf will occupy the entire building, occupancy separation between Callaway Golf and any adjacent tenant space is not required. (Attachment# 19) 7.2 Allowable Area and Sideyards The building is existing. There are no proposed changes to the occupancy, construction or square footage of the building.
