This <br />eggcrate will allow Cor visual obsecvation to approximately 19%a of each tLeater <br />ceiling. This, coupled with no ceiling tile behind the screen, equates to a mtal of <br />27°/a of "open" ceiling area. <br />Similar proposals have been approved by Fire Marshals representing thejurisdictions <br />of Pigard Jregor and Bellevue Washington. Each jurisdiction approved the praposal <br />as meeting the intent of the Code, conditional upon bulancing the distribution of <br />open area, and recognizing the sprinkler distribution above and bclow the layin <br />cciling. L.ogically, the Fire Marshal's have preferred thc use of lay-in ceiling and <br />open areas ys it allows quicker physical and visual access ro troubled areas, as <br />compared to a hard ceiling siWation. <br />We would appreciate your consideration of this proposal and are available ro meet <br />with you and the Fire Marshal to rjiscuss it in further detail. <br />Sinccrely <br />• � <br />D�vid P.
