Judgment for City in Scottish Rite Cases |
| On September 20, 2006, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Robert H. O’Brien signed a Judgment in each of two Scottish Rite cases pending since 2004 and 2005. The Judgments order the Scottish Rite entities to comply with the City’s actions and for the City of Los Angeles to recover its costs expended in defending the two lawsuits. The Scottish Rite then appealed Judge O’Brien’s decision, and – on October 12th – the appeal was denied. Complaints about the zoning violations at this property began in the early 1980s. As WSA President, Mike Genewick said in an interview, “There are many allowable uses for this Park Mile property, and the surrounding communities hope the Scottish Rite will work with the City and others to use its property in one of the many allowable legal ways.” |

Norman Murdoch |
The Windsor Square
Association expresses its sadness at the passing of Norman Murdoch, a
long-time board member. Norman used his experience as a city planner to
initiate many of the important projects we all enjoy in Windsor Square
including being the impetus for the HPOZ, developing the Windsor Square
Master Plan of Parkway Trees, and participating in the planting of over
900 such trees. We are glad that Norman lived to see the fruits of his
work for Windsor Square. |
