Revised 9/6/2005

These additional documents were scanned from the origianl CalTrans construction plans dated 12/24/1990 under parmit number M-3041(395), CRP-L089(627). The original prints are 11 X 17 sheetd published in book form. There are about 250 pages printed double sided. Only the following pages are available online at this time.

1. This document shows in layout format the parking and landscaping areas on North and South Venice Blvd between Abbot Kenny and Electric Ave. It was created by a combined scan of four images and splices together at match lines. The scans were extracted from three pages labeled L5 - L7. Only the right half of L5 and the left half of L7 are included. Parking Layout (3.5mb)

2. This document was scanned from the Utility Plan page U-6. It shows the parking area stripped for the section of VB between Abbot Kinney and Electric. The stall count is 13 + 20 = 33 for North Venice Bl and 38 stalls for South Vebice Blvd. which makes a total stall count of 71 off-street parking spaces for this block of Venice Blvd. The stalls are angeled at 45 dregrees with a fifteen foot traffic lane. All the stalls are shown as Standard sized spaces. No handicap spaces are shown. Parking Layout Striped (1.0mb)

In both of the above documents the "P/L" abbreviation refers property line. Note the construction of these areas was done considerably different than the plans show here (see above the "As-Built" document). There are more driveways, less landscaping areas and the parking configuration was changed.
