To follow up what Mark stated.

12.3 Adjacent Hazards or Design Methods. For buildings with two or more 
adjacent hazards or design methods, the following shall apply:

(1) Where areas are not physically separated by a barrier or partition capable 
of delaying heat from a fire in one area from fusing sprinklers in the adjacent 
area, the required sprinkler protection for the more demanding design basis 
shall extend 15 ft (4.6 m) beyond its perimeter.

(2) The requirements of 12.3(1) shall not apply where the areas are separated 
by a draft curtain or barrier located above an aisle, horizontally a minimum of 
2 ft (600 mm) from the adjacent hazard on each side, or a partition that is 
capable of delaying heat from a fire in one area from fusing sprinklers in the 
adjacent area.

(3) The requirements of 12.3(1) shall not apply to the extension of more 
demanding criteria from an upper ceiling level to beneath a lower ceiling level 
where the difference in height between the ceiling levels is at least 2 ft(600 
mm), located above an aisle, horizontally a minimum 2 ft (600 mm) from the 
adjacent hazard on each side.

Design the K25 systems to extend 20' beyond the rack storage area and you 
should be good to go.
