    “Okay. So as we approach a motion, I think we need to take into account that we need to have some findings to back up our decision. So the maker of the motion should, for my preference, include some of the aspects of the plan that do not meet the guidelines, because I think our recommendation will be that this application does not meet the applicable guidelines and should then be denied.”

    “Okay. I have a question for the applicant. In looking at the street, I noticed that all of the two-story houses were Spanish and or Mediterranean in character. And almost all of the one-story houses, I wouldn't go so far as to call them MIMO or ranch. I dislike calling them ranch because it doesn't say ranch to a Westerner. Why did you choose MIMO for a two-story house?”
