Resolution declared adopted. <br />ARCHITEC- The Council reviewed the City Planner's report relative to architectural <br />TURAL review for the Gopher Electronic building at 222 Little Canada Road. <br />REVIEW - It was noted that both the City Planner and the Planning Commission <br />222 LITTLE have recommended approval. <br />CANADA ROAD <br />Morelan questioned the purpose of the architectural guidelines relative to <br />this property. He stated that his understanding was that the City wanted to <br />send the message to property owners that when they make improvements <br />to their property, the City did not want them to forget about the exterior of <br />the building. <br />The City Planner reported that the applicant believes that the <br />improvements they are planning for the building will not reach the 10% <br />threshold that triggers architectural review. However, they were unable to <br />obtain construction statements in a timely manner, therefore, are going <br />through the architectural review process so that their interior <br />improvements will not be delayed. The Planner pointed out that the <br />improvements proposed for the Gopher Electronics building are interior <br />improvements. Therefore, it is difficult to make an architectural review <br />recommendation with little or no exterior improvements to react to. <br />
