Re: proposed construction at 291 Arlington, Kensington
On December, 6, 1988, at the direction of the Board of
Supervisors, Bill Martindale of Building Inspection met with
residents who own property in the immediate area of the proposed
construction of "a three-story office building at 291 Arlington,
Kensington. Karl Wandry of Community Development was also
present. Deputy County Counsel Diana Silver sat in on the
meeting.
The issueswere fully discussed. A consensus was reached
that Bill Martindale and Karl Wandry would investigate whether
the project has been approved, whether a permit has been granted,
and whether procedural due process requirements have been
satisfied in the permit/approval process . In addition, the
investigation will focus on the structural stability of a
retaining wall and its effect on a neighboring house's
foundation, the number of off-street parking spaces required for
the proposed structure, whether a two-story rather than a three
story structure would be appropriate (including setback
requirements ) , and the extent of permissible access through an
easement on a neighboring property. to the subject property.
It was agreed at the meeting that Mr. Martindale and Mr.
Wandry would report their findings on these matters in a report
to the Board early in January, 1989 .
