Greg, Section 16 (Rack storage) will send you back to Misc Storage. That was the confusing part. This is a mercantile occupancy with a small area of storage in receiving not exceeding 12'-0 in height. They have gondola shelves on the sales floor (most of it) - not exceeding 12'-0 in height & the highest point of Top of Steel is 19'-0. Their specs are building it towards Misc Storage including types of sprinklers and referenced Table (12.1.10.1.1 in 2002) So with that said - which way to go?

Storage. So maybe that's what is happening? On Apr 11, 2011 6:44 AM, "Bobby Gillett" <[email protected]> wrote: > Matt, > > Thank you and I agree.
