Approved | the cooler and freezer are considered equipment and you actually exit the building when you enter them - they are not under the structure's roof thus they are not considered part of the gross square footage. This drops the square footage below 4800 sqft thus, the hydrant requirements become 1750 gpm and only 1 hydrant. |
| FYI | (STANDARD COMMENT 19) EXISTING HYDRANTS ACCEPTABLE
The existing fire hydrants appear to be acceptable.
