A review of the.plans forthe revisions to.this space indicated -that a certain poqiop. ofthe space would, be-used: for storage of golf club materials, including up to l 5%·by weight of Group A ·plf,lstic_ (rubber.grips);. nylon .golf club covers; both stored in boxes, .on open-shelves. The balance·of the space is currently utilized. as a manufacturing area,and· is separated from the,adji!,cent pffice sp~ce,. bathro.om~ andahailway. Witho1,1t any information on the commodity and method: of storage, or the existing sprinkler·systein design criteria, 1:he owners were advised that a:technical:report regarding protection· of that space, with a concentration otr-ptotectiop. ofthe storage, would be required. Parsley Consulting was conmcted-hy .Ms. 'Cindy Olivier, of DBMC General Building Contractor; a:t the direction of Mr. Dave Minto. We, were· subsequently contracted to prepare the required technical opinion and report. Our course of action included 1:he foUowing items:. ·• Review of archjtectural ·plans for the space • Research the California Building Code; 2007 edition • Rese~rch the C~liforn.fa Fire Code, 2007 edition • Research the.

This report is based on the 2007 Editions of the CalifotniaFir(?·Code and'theBuilding Code, and the 2002 editionofNFP A-13, Standard/or the Installation of Sprinkler Systems. · III. Building Construction & Information. The building is,exi~ting, and ·is currently occupied. No.expansion or modification to tbe <;>verall building is planned at-this time. · · , The, space under consideration is being·revised to accommodate new single and doubl~ row storage racks, and encompasses.appro~mately 6,552 ft2, in addition to other storage ~eas in.the btdlding which total approximately 25,344 ft2. The new storage will consist of fihished goods 1n cartons on rac~s. Other occupancy areas in the building include: • Manufacturing area of approximately 98A21 ft2, adjacent to the new storage area. This area is classed as an F-1 occupancy.1 · • Two stodes of office and administrative. space of approximately 25,454 ft2, adjacent fo the manufacturing ~d storage areas. This ~ea cl~sed as an B occupancy .2 · • Existing storage areas, distributed throughout the non.a.office space, of approximately 25,344 ft2, open to ,structure above. Raw materials and finished stock are stored in this area. This area is classed as an· S-l Occupancy. 3 , • No separation is required for B, F-1, and S-1 occupancies.4 1CJ3C, 2007 edition, S~ction 306.2 2CBC, Section 304, 1 3CBC, Section 3,11.2 4CBC, Table 5Q8.3.3 .

The des- ignation of a high-piled combustible storage area, or portion thereof, is allowed to be based on a lower hazard class than that of the highest class of commodity stored when a limited quan- tity of the higher hazard commodity has been demonstrated by engineering analysis to be adequately protected by the auto- matic sprinkler system provided. The engineering analysis shall consider the ability of the sprinkler system to deliver the higher density required by the higher hazard commodity. The higher density shall be based on the actual storage height of the pile or rack and the minimum allowable design area for sprin- kler operation as set forth in the density/area figures provided in NFPA 13.

Smoking shall be prohibited. Approved "No rooking" signs shall be conspicuously posted in accordance ith Section 310. 305.4 Aisle maintenance. When restocking is not being con- ducted, aisles shall be kept clear of storage, waste material and debris. Fire department access doors, aisles and exit doors shall not be obstructed. During restocking operations using manual stocking methods, a minimum unobstructed aisle width of 24 inches (610 mm) shall be maintained in 48-inch (1219 mm) or smaller aisles, and a minimum unobstructed aisle width of one-half of the required aisle width shall be maintained in aisles greater than 48 inches (1219 mm). During mechanical stocking operations, a minimum unobstructed aisle width of 44 inches (1118 mm) shall be maintained in accordance with Section 2306.9. 2305.S Pile dimension and height limitations.
