In a letter opinion dated April 21, Judge William Shore Robertson found sections of Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance “arbitrary and unreasonable” and denied the county’s request for an injunction against the \ owner of a mobile home in the Amissville trailer park.
Zoning Administrator Emiel Smet sought the injunction after Robert Croston replaced his old mobile home with a newer, larger model.
According to papers filed in the suit, Mr. Croston’s electrical service had to be upgraded from 50 to 200 amps, requiring a building permit. Mr. Smet inspected the trailer site and issued the building permit on March 14, 1985, without questioning the trailer’s location, according to the affidavits.
Then in a letter dated March 26, Mr. Smet informed Mr. Croston that the new trailer violated the county’s requirement for a 10-foot setback from a boundary line and applied for an injunction ordering its removal.
Mr. Croston and trailer court owner Marjorie Moore, who was allowed to intervene in the suit, argued that the trailer court, established in 1964 prior to the adoption of the 1973 zoning ordinance, is a non-conforming use and thus exempt from the setback regulation.
