WAYFARERS CHAPEL ( 1801 ) presented the August 15th
staff memorandum and the
recommendation that the Agency execute the proposed easement
agreement with Wayfarers Chapel .
The Board inquired if the total bid price of $825 , 000
for the drainage project on Palos Verdes Drive South included
the P.V. stone fascia for the wall at the entrance to the
Wayfarers Chapel ; if the RDA should be paying only for the
wall and drainage improvement and not the fascia; how
this easement was related to the landslide abatement process;
and, who benefitted from the easement. The Board comments
then included the facts that this easement would permit
filling-in an area between the new road embankment and the
hillside and that adjacent to the wall would be a lane
allowing right turns into the chapel , thus improving the
safety in the flow of traffic. Member Hughes moved, seconded
by Chair Bacharach to adopt the staff recommendation, the
