Slow down IMHO. Read the text, don't read into it. If they wanted you to
take the venting and egress exceptions for ESFR they would have said it.
Remember you are also dealing with exception to the base rule. I only
believe you get one in your case. Either skip the vents but add doors or
skip the doors and add vents. Choose the lesser of the evils. Joe will
have a cow, but you could do ESFR and vents and not do the doors. Now get
an FPE involved to PBD the vents and doors with ESFR to balance not full
compliance with either.

Thanks Scot. I think the same but I had a local Architect tell me it was
taking the ESFR trade off twice.
