Company, and the City Attorney thereupon read said communication to the
gentleman.
Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman Gordon, seconded by
Councilman Swanson, the following resolution be adopted:
RESOLVED, that the communication from the City Planning

Attention: Frank Smotony
Dear Sir:
El Segundo Warehouses
Concrete Block Wall
Our attention has been directed to the grade condition
which exists on the Pacific Electric right of way ad-
jacent to the Vehicle Storage Building #1. Since the
grade adjacent to the building is approximately 31-011
above the floor line, it would seem advisable to ex-
tend the 611 reinforced concrete block wall indicated
on Detail 2/1 a distance of approximately 80 feet to
the cross wall of the Mechanicts Shop.
The masonry wall will be anchored to the concrete foot-
- ing with 1/211 steel dowels grouted into 1 -1/2" x 6"
drilled holes 0 21-011 o.c.. In order to avoid seepage of
water through the wall, a membrane waterproofing is pro-
posed consisting of two layers of 15# felt mopped on and
mopped over with hot asphalt.
This matter has been discussed with the Mayfair Con-
struction Co. and their quotation for the above item
is $580.00.
We will appreciate the Council's action on this pro-
posal in order that the Contractor may be instructed at
the earliest possible date.
Very truly yours,
