Dear Matt
Please find attached a revised signage proposal for the Victron Energy Shell Station signage at the
comer of Royal Lane and IH 635. We respectfully request consideration by the City Council of a
modified submittal that is somewhat different from that approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission on February 21, 2008. Our request is modified as follows:
1. Allow 64 SF of signage on two faces of the tower in the form of an internally lit box
sign that will be recessed into the stone f~ade to provide a flush installation with
approximately 12" of stone trim on all sides. The tower will be raised approximately
8 feet to accommodate these signs, with materials that are consistent with the rest of
the building. The corporate image of Shell requires the white background behind the
red and yellow pectin and the owner of the station believes that the sign will not be
visible unless it is internally lit at night. In addition, there is not a standard Shell sign
that meets the criteria approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission, nor is there
the ability to have one constructed according to the Shell brand manager in Houston.
2. Allow the installation of internally illuminated letters on the canopy on two faces
totaling approximately 20 SF on each face. This will consist of the word "SHElL" in
red letters with yellow returns consistent with the Shell corporate brand image. We
have withdrawn the request to paint the canopy yellow with a red stripe as submitted
to the Planning & Zoning Commission.
I have attached a revised rendering of the signage for your review and will e-mail you the PDF
files for your use in the staff presentation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
