Greg,
If using non-residential sprinks, look at 8.1.3.2 ('07). This would
probably limit you to 130 sf.
If using residential sprinks, I'd stick a sprink in the middle of each 14' x
14' bay. That should eliminate obstruction issues.
Either way, calc 2 sprinks (A.8.6.4). If residential sprinks, calc whatever
the cutsheet calls for at a 14' x 14' spacing. If non-residential sprinks,
see section 8.1.1.1 ('07).
Now, I'm not an engineer, I don't pretend to be one, and it's been a long
time since I've slept anywhere but home. But if I really wanted the job and
to limit exposure to my assets, I'd quote the minimum that I can document in
13D. Then (as others have stated), offer any alternates you feel
appropriate. Keep in mind, 13D isn't property protection. The sprinks in
the garage may or may not control a fire for 10 minutes, but they may serve
as an alarm and provide a better chance of exit than if they werent there.
