WPP Settles Lawsuit on Open Space

From Paul Bunten of Westsiders for Public Participation:

"WPP Settles Lawsuit on Open Space;
Community Receives a Benefit;
Further Park West Village Development Plans Revealed

"Westsiders for Participation, Inc., has agreed to an out-of court settlement of the community lawsuit that sought to establish the legally required amount of open space in the west block of Park West Village. Counsel for the defendant, 808 Columbus Avenue LLC, committed to the terms of the settlement agreement orally before Justice Judith Gische of the New York State Supreme Court on July 9, 2009. A written stipulation of settlement agreement was subsequently negotiated between both parties and among all petitioners. This agreement will be formally ordered later this week by Justice Gische and placed on the public record.

Copies of the stipulation of settlement agreement are available upon request."
