Despite threats of a lawsuit, the Planning Commission has approved plans for the creation of a public beach club at the old Marion Davies estate. While the decision was warmly received by supporters of the project, a handful of neighbors near the property are demanding that certain conditions, such as 24-hour security and a new traffic signal at the club’s proposed entrance, be put in place before the project moves forward.

So this week, Q-Line wants to know: “How should city officials weigh the opinions of residents in cases like this, in which the general public supports a project but a handful of residents closest to the issue does not?”

Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your responses in the weekend edition. Please try to limit your comments to a minute or less. It might help to think first about the wording of your response.
