Garth,
I believe that was new to 2007, in 13, 13R and 13D. CT is using 2002.
I understand that is a better arrangement, but I have been asked to
address this strictly from a Code standpoint. Is there something
comparable in 2002?

Sorry Todd, I omitted the portion I was trying to send which is
(C) Where sidewall sprinklers are more than 3 ft (914 mm) above the top of
cabinets, the sprinkler shall be permitted to be installed on the wall above
the cabinets where the cabinets are no greater than 12 in. (305 mm) from the
wall.
the language seems to imply that less than 3' is no good. No soffit above
the cabinets to finish off the look?
