Dear Tony:

Re: Weberg Furniture Co.
Fire Protection System
Enclosed, please find a Weberg's Ft. Collins column locations sketch indicating
the overall dimensions of the building, as well as the column spacing and if you
will note in the warehouse, we have layed out the typical rack layout beginning
at the south wall with a 4' dimension and then continuing with either 5' or 5'-
8" as shown on this sketch for the aisle spacing.
The particulars for the fire protection system are as follows:
The automatic sprinkler system shall be a wet type, caluculated system with a
density at the roof of .3712000 in the warehouse area with 2860 sprinkler heads.
The retail area will be NFPA ordinary hazard sprinkler system.
The design is based upon a Class III non -encapsulated storage on racks 3 tiers
high. Storage shall not exceed 19' above the floor level. Double row racks
total depth is 84" and the aisle spacing is a minimum of 60" except in the case
of the first two aisles at the south which are 5'-8". An approximate 6"
longitudinal flue space from floor to roof is required.
We have based this design and have built this same system in a warehouse for
Weberg in Douglas County. This design is based upon NFPA 231C Pamphlet; figure
6-11.1C Curve G. Figure 6-8.2 and Paragraph 3-2.3.
The entire building will be constructed of non-combustible materials utilizing
6" thick concrete exterior walls, steel joists, girders and deck on the roof
and steel columns with a single ply membrane roof with insulation on it. I
believe this information will support the fire protection system that is intended
for the Poudre Valley Fire Authority.
Should you need additional information, please advise.

Very truly yours,
