Jensen's, Inc. v. Plainville

On April 15, 1947, the plaintiff bought a ten-acre park for forty-five trailers which was then being operated as a nonconforming use in a residential zone on the east side of East Street in Plainville. Zoning had been adopted in 1942, and [146 Conn. 313] the regulations limited the total number of trailer parks in the town to eight and the number of trailers in any one park to forty-five and forbade any trailer park in a residential zone. Plainville Zoning Regs., 17(B)(2), (4) (1942). The regulations authorized the continuance of nonconforming uses; id. 11; and it was by virtue of this provision that the plaintiff operated the trailer park in a residential zone. The right to amend the regulations was expressly reserved. Id. 22.
