Sharmeen AI-Jaff
Dear Sharmeen,
The sign requirements that the city ofChanhassen has imposed on my business for a
monument sign, of 24 square feet cannot be met. The smallest monument sign that Shell
provides and will allow is a 5' -4" x 8' -0" sign, totaling 43 square feet.
Enclosed are pictures of all of all my competitor's logo and pricing signs along Hwy 5.
Please note that all of their signs far exceed the 24 square foot requirement.
K wik Trip my closest competitor has two monument signs, one on Hwy 5 and the other
that sits on Galpin Blvd. The one that sits on Hwy 5 has a
15-foot brick pylon and the actual dimensions of their sign are
6' -4" high x 10'-0" long, totaling 64 square feet. Both of their signs far exceed the
requirements imposed on my site.
Shell and Pamedco have given up almost all forms of Shell identification for this site. It
is a must for my business to display the Shell logo, along with the advertised pricing for
my gasoline.
The gasoline business is very tough and very competitive. Your approval of Shells
smallest sign for my location would help a small independent like me to compete against
a major oil outlet, like K wik Trip. Your consideration would be appreciated.
Thank you,
"' /)
