you have no real guaraDtee that it will a1."OW and thrlve.. Also,
it can take a nlDber of years ::0 reach the desired heiaht.
Archltectural and Site Approval C.-it tee Chair.aaa Sallan said
that when they were dealiDg with thls applicatlon they went
literally by the January 3, 1915, City Councll memo,
Counc. Nellis proposed tbat the Coamittee went beyond exterior
deslgn review and went iDto the floor plan in this instance.
Chairman Sallan sald they '~re ttring to guide the applicant.
COunc. Frolich said there Is the need for guidelines.
The City Attorney advised that architectural and site control is
a very nebulous thina. He advised applying the Golden Rule.
We can try to come up with auidelines to help the applicants.
