In addition, it is acknowledged that the Pelican Street façade does not include the additional
louvers as illustrated within the stamped approved plans. Following DA approval, the construction
estimates resulted in the need for cost saving measures. It was determined that the additional
louvers along Pelican were not required as they were to be solely used a cosmetic feature, unlike
the louvers used for the adjacent smoker’s area which provided a barrier between the patron
area and the street frontage.
Given the land owner and operator is a not-for-profit entity it is considered to be unreasonable to
enforce the implementation of the additional louvers when they serve no other purpose than
being a cosmetic feature.
The applicant considers the building façade to be in keeping with the heritage character of the
area and has included a commentary plan prepared by WBP Architects included in Attachment
2 that outlines the difference between the approved plans and the current façade. An extract of
this comparison is detailed below.
