Hi Dave,
Please use this email as approval that Landlord approves for you to submit for a variance for The Jane
neon sign on the patio. No additional signage should be installed without first requesting permission.
If you need something on letterhead, please let me know.
Thank you,

Hi Terrie,
Thanks again for your time yesterday. Wanted to let you know Ann Taylor Loft will be leaving
Southlake Town Center and is looking for space to relocate to ASAP. Do you have space in Park
Village (3500-4000 square feet)?
Thanks!
Dave

Hi Terrie,
The City of Southlake has informed us the patio signage at Jane wasn't properly approved and
they've askedus to get permission from you in order to properly permit it. I'm assuming you
don't have an issue as it's been in place for a few years. If so, can you reply to this email with
your permission?
Thanks!

Good morning,
Restaurant Ventures Inc. took over the operational management of the restaurant, Jane, 1151 E
Southlake Blvd., In September of 2025. One of the signature items of the restaurant was the LED
light “Meet at Jane” on the patio wall. It serves as a focal point for social media posts about our
restaurant, which in today’s business climate, is very necessary to the success of a restaurant.
We subsequently discovered that the sign was not correctly permitted, Our desire is to get the
sign correctly permitted, so that we can continue to benefit from the high visibility it provides
online. It is on the side wall, facing the patio seating area. It is in keeping with the style and
purpose of the shopping center, and is not an imposition to traffic or our neighbors.
Thank you,
Bo Jones
