Troy Loses Legal Action With Trailer Court OwnerSupreme Court for Rensselaer County has ruled in favor of a Lansingburgh trailer court owner in his action against the City of Troy to operate a mobile park, in the
Pleasantdale section.Justice Harold E. Koreman yesterday handed down his decision in a case of Carl M. Anderson against the city of Troy and the Zoning Board of Appeals.The trailer court, actually in operation since 1959, is located at 1002 2nd Ave., formerly known as Wilson Avenue.According to Justice Koreman's written decision released last night by F. Richard Decatur, attorney for Anderson, the city of Troy enacted an amendment in 1957 to the 1923 zoming ordinance prohibiting use of the premises in a residential zone as a trailer park. It was brought out in the Supreme Court ruling that no public hearing was held on the 1957 amendment. Justice Koreman ruled it invalid on that basis.The Supreme Court judge also noted that Anderson was granted certain permits to install and connect electrical lines to the trailers in the park. Sewer transmission lines also were installed to the site."It is apparant that the City of Troy recognized that trailer courts were not prohibited by the 1923 ordinance," the Supreme Court justice ruled.While the issue has been studied by the court for the past three years, the City of Troy was restrained from brining any additional action against the plaintiff. Anderson, as plaintiff, was restrained from increasing the number of trailers in the park while a decision was being studied. The court action started in July, 1964, when Anderson applied for a declaratory judgment against the 1957 zoning amendment.There are 27 trailers in the park. Several property owners in the neighborhood had protested expansion of the trailer park.
