Instead, I am requesting permission for our standard trade dress on the awning and windows. <br />Based on our conversations, it is my understanding that because the proposed awning will have lettering, <br />it is considered signage, and therefore will need to go before the City Council. <br /> <br />Scott, we have discussed the option of window neon and as I mentioned previously, Leeann Chin's <br />position is the following: <br /> <br />· Neon is not an accurate representation of the product or the business we conduct. We feel <br />that the stenciling on the awning is a more sophisticated and attractive means to present our <br />trade-dress. Elk River is adding an aesthetically appealing building to its community. <br />Leeann Chin feels our proposed awnings will enhance rather than detract from the appearance <br />of the building. <br />. Our standard package includes the stenciled awnings and window decals. They are a constant <br />for our customers, a means of identifying us in a competitive market. <br /> <br />I thank you for your attention to this matter Scott. Please do not hesitate to call me at (612) 820-1203 if <br />you have any further questions. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />Lia Greenwood <br />Real Estate Manager <br /> <br />3600 WEST 80TH STREET, SUITE 210 <br />BLOOMINGTON, MN 55431 <br />Tel 612.896.3606 <br />Fax 612.896.3615 <br />www.leeann-<:hin.com <br /> <br />
