We're protecting (4) rows of townhomes per NFPA 13D. Between buildings are small common areas such as trash storage (132sqft) and mail room (260sqft). Providing protection in these rooms would come at an additional expense because the units being protected are fee simple and each has it's own lead-in. Adding sprinklers to these small common rooms would require additional lead ins, meters, light hazard and combustible concealed protection. Do these rooms need to be protected?
As an added twist, the townhomes that immediately abut these rooms have exterior terraces on the ROOFs of these rooms. Is this a factor?
