George: Just so you know where it came from the McMansion's are now being replaced by the "McRanchion's" (Yes my own word, soon to be added to all e-space word searches.)Buy a few hundred Ac. Hire a ranch manager, build him a 1800Sf house, then build your 12,000 Sf part time residence, barn and riding arena and claim "Ag" as your property tax bracket. Of course if they need the tax break from Ag, they surly can't afford anything more than the minimum 13D? Well who say's they need more than 13D? Life Safety is the goal, and we all deserve equal access to that. So if you have a McRanchion or a Tract Ranch house, both deserve the 13D protection of a life safety system. For those that CAN afford more and want to pay for it OK! But it should not be the AHJ that decides who can and can't afford more.
It's that same old thing one AHJ we deal with allows 13D unabridged for up to 5000Sf, a 13D 3three head design over 5000Sf, and a 13D 4 head design @ 0.10 for any size home with a ceiling pitch over 8/12. (I don't make these up, I just have to follow them.) Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.
