Request withdrawn for right to store rocks in carports
Ray T. Lindsay, Linfield Oaks developer, beat a retreat Tuesday night via a letter to the Menlo Park city council.
Lindsay wrote the council that he wished to withdraw his application for a use permit which would have allowed the U.S. Geological Survey to use some carports for storage of rocks.
No action is now desired on the application, Lindsay said. When the application first came to the council a week ago, Robert Chambers, president of Magma Engineering, protested that such a use infringed on deed restrictions of the Linfield Oak tract. He said he was speaking for other Linfield firms inn opposing such a use.
Lindsay, owner of the tract, also owns the geological survey building which is nearing completion at the end of Homewood Place. He will lease the building to the government.
