App. Ct. 292, 897 N.E.2d 612 <br />(2008), review denied, 453 Mass. 1103, 901 N.E.2d 138 (2009). <br />Case Note: In its decision, the court also acknowledged that <br />"of course, [a] claim of an impairment of water view, without <br />more, does not confer standing. But where, as here, a neighbor <br />asserts diminished water view as a result of further violation <br />of by-law density and dimensional provisions, including those <br />calling for a `visual buffer' between lots, on an already non- <br />conforming lot, then such an intrusion can confer standing." <br />Case Note: Because there was a "disputed degree of the injury," <br />the court found the case was inappropriate for summary judg- <br />ment. It therefore remanded the matter to the Land Court for <br />further proceedings consistent with the appellate court's opinion. <br />Zoning News from Around the Nation <br />CALIFORNIA <br />Whittier city officials are considering a zoning ordinance that <br />would allow and set standards for outdoor displays for businesses. <br />Source: Whittier Daily News; www.whittierdailvnews.com <br />CONNECTICUT <br />Bridgeport City Council members have reportedly "submitted a <br />proposal that would create a new law to further regulate adult en- <br />tertainment establishments."
