Pool and slope safety at 4110 Palos Verdes Drive South
Summary
Neighbors and the Tract 16540 HOA board say a filled 20,000-pound swimming pool sits on 70-year-old, questionably compacted fill dirt above homes, and they asked the city to require the pool be emptied until geotechnical studies are complete. The commission approved the project 6-1 with geotechnical review deferred to building and safety and the city geologist.
