Chris,

When you say doors are you referring to the 100 ft. on center man doors around 
the perimeter of the building? It is a spec building S-1 high piled storage 490 
ft. by 1064 ft. with no interior walls.

Slow down IMHO.  Read the text, don't read into it. If they wanted you to take 
the venting and egress exceptions for ESFR they would have said it.
Remember you are also dealing with exception to the base rule. I only believe 
you get one in your case.  Either skip the vents but add doors or skip the 
doors and add vents.  Choose the lesser of the evils.  Joe will have a cow, but 
you could do ESFR and vents and not do the doors.  Now get an FPE involved to 
PBD the vents and doors with ESFR to balance not full
compliance with either.

Thanks Scot. I think the same but I had a local Architect tell me it was taking 
the ESFR trade off twice.
