County sends default notice to Lincoln Crossing

Following up from our previous story from Councilmember Michele Zack, we just received a copy of a March 26 letter (pdf document) from Corde Carillo, acting executive director of the LA County Development Commission, to Lincoln Crossing developer Dorn Platz and the West Altadena Development Corporation (WAD-C), putting them in default of their agreements with the county and listing some rather alarming details: half a million owed in taxes, more than that in varioius liens and lawsuit judgements, as well as some rather interesting-sounding deeds of trust filed.  In last week's report from Zack, WAD-C is trying to sever ties with Dorn Platz and line up a more solvent partner, but the complex agreements and interrelationships involved may make that difficult.  More for the mix.
