MIYASATO: Thank you. Commissioners, any discussion? If not, I’ll accept a motion. HENKEL: Mr. Chair? MIYASATO: Yeah. HENKEL: I’d like to move that in the SMA 14-058 for Steven Shropshire and the Shropshire Group that the Commission approve with the Planning Director’s recommendations. DARROW: Mr. Chairman, if I could interject at this point. Commissioner Henkel, just to bring to your attention, we also had some added conditions for the Commission to consider. Is that inclusive in the motion? HENKEL: Yes. DARROW: Okay, thank you. MIYASATO: Okay, I have a motion. Do I have a second? I have no second for the motion. Do I have any other further motions? PATEL: If I may suggest to the Commission, if there’s, you know, part of the deliberative process is—if there’s a motion, part of what is within your authority is to you know talk it out, try to convince other Commissioners of your point of view. On the other hand, if other Commissioners feel that they cannot support the motion as proffered, they can propose amendments to the motion such that would allow them to be able to either support or go against any motion that’s made. With that said, if the motion was to approve pursuant to the Planning Director’s findings and recommendations, if someone is considering a motion to deny the application, perhaps we could work to provide proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law to address the specific criteria of the application. That can be circulated. The Applicant would have a chance to respond, and that could be up for a decision before the Commission at the next meeting. HENKEL: Mr. Chair, if I withdraw the motion, can we—are we back to where we can discuss it? MIYASATO: Yes. HENKEL: I withdraw the motion. MIYASATO: Commissioners, any discussion? HENKEL: Mr. Chair? MIYASATO: Commissioner Henkel. 14 EXHIBIT A
