building facing 171't Avenue. Highway 10 and 173rd Avenue. The addition to our parts area will be architectural concrete tip-up panels similar to the carwash on the campus.

Chrysler and Ford. There is a delay with our forth franchise. Mahindra. becoming available in the United States. No exterior changes are anticipated with this last franchise with the exception of one wall sign. Exhibit A shows the typical swept entrance Ford is now requiring.

The limestone. stucco. glazing and trim will be used to tie the three entrances together. Signage Freestanding Signs We will have five freestanding signs after our Mahindra sign is erected. These five signs have already been in front of the Elk River City Council and approved. Wall Signage The existing tower with the "Ford" emblem on it is proposed to be razed. Each manufacturer has their required wall badges (wall signs). We are requesting the following walls signs: Chrysler requires four wall badges, one for each make of vehicle: Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram. When Chrysler reviews our plans they will dictate the size and positioning of the wall badges. The maximum size for Chrysler wall badges is the 17 series shown on Exhibit C. The combined total of these four wall badges is 234 square feet. Exhibit D shows how these wall badges are typically placed on a building. Ford requires two wall badges. They are the Ford Blue Ovals; one of which will be placed over the Ford entrance and one will be over the showroom windows for Ford, similar to how they appear on Exhibit A. We are not a Lincoln dealer and Mercury is no longer being made so no wall badges for these brands will be required. The maximum Blue Oval size is 9 foot 7 inches by 4 foot 2 inches or approximately 40 square feet; therefore, these two signs will be a maximum of 80 square feet. KIA requires one wall badge which is currently attached to our building. Exhibit E shows the dimensions of this wall badge, which is approximately 42 square feet. Sorry we don't have a color version to show you, but the border and letters are red and the background is white. Mahindra requires two signs, a wall badge and a nameplate below it. The size of the two signs combined measure approximately 66 square feet. Exhibit F shows the dimensions of the Mahindra wall badge and nameplate. In this case the oval is red and the lettering is black, both on a white background. 3
