NEW BUSINESS: <br />1-) Great Northern Shopping Center, Plaza North, Lorain and Brookpark Roads. <br />Renovation to canopy. <br />Referred By Planning Commission February 12, 1991. <br />Mr. McDonough, architect, and Mr..Papandreas, representing Biskind Development <br />Company, presented plans for canopy, explaining that because the shopping <br />center_ is 2,300 Iineal feet they picked certain focal areas to break up the <br />monotony and create some aesthetic balance between the east, middle and west <br />buildings.
