Open space protection, traffic control on Sunset and a proposed car wash and food mart in the village will top the Pacific Palisades Community Council agenda on Thursday, June 14. The local public forum meets at 7 p.m. in the Palisades Branch Library’s community room, 861 Alma Real. * The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority is proposing to acquire one- third of an acre of open land located just north and abutting 14723 W. Oracle Pl., adjacent to the DWP property in Rivas Canyon. The MRCA has offered $161,993 for the land, which is assessed at $948,679. Discussion will focus on the cost benefit of buying a hillside property as protection against any future development. * The MRCA is also proposing installing traffic cameras at stop signs in 10 state parks, including Temescal Gateway Park. According to MCRA spokeswoman Dash Stolarz, park rangers could focus on other problems in the park instead of speeders if traffic cameras could assist in enforcing the law. * Traffic and parking at the new Waldorf School on Sunset, just across from Los Liones Drive, will be discussed with an update from council member Barbara Kohn and Waldorf director Jeffrey Graham. * The Shell service station at the corner of Sunset and Via de la Paz is requesting a conditional use permit to allow a 756-sq.ft. car wash and a 1,168-sq.-ft. food mart on the property. The food mart would be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. An existing 1,800-sq.ft. structure would be removed to make way for the new construction and six parking spaces. Additional agenda items include an update on development issues at the West L. A. VA property, and reports from Councilman Rosendahl’s office and Senior Lead Officer Michael Moore.
