How did that small lot next to Peninsula Bible Church on Middlefield Road get a permit to build two houses?
@PV:
It’s actually not a small lot, it’s just narrow and deep. I assumed it was a guest house in front and the main house in back, but there is also a 3rd building at the back, right corner that looks to be right up against the property line. I wondered about the whole project too, but wasn’t able to find it on the City’s website…
