Sharmeen Al-Jaff
Dear Sharmeen,
I am in a difficult situation coming in late to the game. Certain decisions have already
been made in regards to the SheIl imaging plans for my site. Decisions, that were already
made prior to my acquiring the property. Shell has certain requirements that they want
from me, as does the city of Chanhassen.
SheIl has a financial investment in my site in signage, rebate programs and advertising. It
is important to them, as well as me, that people know who we are. I do not understand
what the city of Chanhassen has against Shell's yellow and red colors. They are the same
colors as McDonalds, Burger Kings and many others businesses that are operating in
Chanhassen.
However, I do understand now that the yellow Shell band and the Shell canopy logo signs
were not approved by the city ofChanhassen. The Shell representative for this area is
requesting from me a decisive letter from the city of Chanhassen stating this.
They are also requiring me to at least have a red vinyl band on the canopy fascia so that it
will remotely look like their R VI image. I would appreciate the city of Chanhassen
working with me on this request. All the other c-store/gas station in Chanhassen
"(My competition)" has graphics on their canopy fascias.
Enclosed are pictures depicting those outlets and their canopy fascias. I have also
enclosed a print showing what my canopy will look like with the red band. You can
either mail or e-mail the letter I have requested.
In closing I want to thank you for all your help. This project is a dream that I have had for
many years.
Sincerely,
: \ t..
