If I may make a suggestion, then.
What about integrating this gov request library into the game. For example, let's take a market area like the Trinsic one pictured above. The market setup is added to the library by Broadsword (whether by their own design or a player's design). Then the governor views the setup, a picture or a description or a link to a picture and description in a governor-accessible gump, which they can then select and add to their city. The addition would come at a monthly, weekly, or daily cost - thus, the addition is necessarily temporary, yet it can also be there for as long as the governor wants, or can afford it. The more customizations they add, the higher the cost. And perhaps these costs, if figured correctly could compel a governor to have to choose between whether their city looks beautiful or has a functioning market area or has poor people (NPCs) walking around hungry or if there is rampant crime from poorly equipped guards or whatever else you can probably imagine.
This makes the whole process a little more efficient, gives players a little more control, adds a little more depth to the governor system, and I believe can solve many of the woes contained in this thread concerning town customization.
