July 2007 The
owner of the site visited the 7260 board and has indicated
that he wants to put in a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
drive-through. The 7260 board expressed concerns about
queuing and/or three-point turns on Kerwood, as well as
traffic disruptions on Olympic. The board cited the
serious traffic problems created by the Big Chill yogurt
shop at Westwood and Olympic.
The board also expressed a desire to
work with the property owner and commented on the
desirability of having the coffee shop close by should all
concerns be resolved.
The owner agreed to come back to the
board with ideas on how to best address the concerns that
were raised.

As previously noted on this website, the
site of the former ARCO station, now a vacant lot on the
southwest corner of Olympic Blvd. and Kerwood Ave., has been
sold. Tract No. 7260 has learned that the new owner is
aware that the property—despite an intensive
clean-up—remains heavily contaminated by toxic substances.
The buyer has
expressed the desire to open a flower shop with an adjacent
coffee shop. However, since it will take the new owner
several years to eliminate the contamination, any potential
use of the site can only be regarded as speculation.
