Fire —Detail QT Site:
1. Building over 5,000 sf are required to be equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler — canopy square footage
is considered building if Type V construction type is used.
Re: Type II construction type is used for the canopy and the building is less than 5,000 square feet.
Therefore, fire sprinklers are not needed.

Re: Perimeter trees have been added along the property line between Tracts B & D.
4. Add dimensions to landscape buffers.
Re: Dimensions have been added to the landscape buffers.
Planning — QT Building Elevations
1. It appears that these color elevations are the same as previous except for the deletion of two 20 sq. ft. QT
logos and the addition of large, full color (temporary poster?) signs on right and left elevations (that would
not be permitted).
Re: The 20sf button signs were removed, 4 additional stacked stone pilasters were added to the building
which increased the accent sf from 837 sf to 1174 sf. The signs on the right and left sign are inset into a
window box that is flush with the wall and are consistent with our existing store in Coppell. (picture provided)
2. Signage and awning color and materials do not comply with Zoning Ordinance.
a. Provide calculations on permitted, requested and variances to the Sign Ordinance.
Re: We request that the typeface be considered as signage which only encompasses 59 SF. This would
also be consistent with our existing Coppell location.
3. The gasoline canopy elevations were not resubmitted — are three — 20 sq. ft. button signs on the gas
canopy and/or other signage being requested?
Re: Elevation will be resubmitted, we are proposing a total of two button signs to be installed on the gas
canopy at this time. This is reflected in the perspectives that were submitted.
4. Proposed brick wall? 3' tall? If desired, will need to be color, materials, height, etc. specified on the site and
landscape plans, including dimensions from R.O.W. to ensure no conflict with the sight visibility triangle at
driveway.
Re: We will list requested details, to ensure there is no conflict with the sight visibility triangle we proposed
to eliminate the section of wall between our Freeport PKWY driveway and Northwestern.
Sincerely,
Shea Kirkman, P.E.
