Trailer control law labeled discriminatory sparks hearing
Hamptonburgh Planning Board held a two hour public hearing on a proposed trailer control ordinance that would require a town permit, cap fees at five dollars monthly, and ban new trailer courts. Critics argued the plan would discriminate against elderly residents and stifle legitimate trailer sales, while supporters said standards could allow certain mobile homes if properly regulated. The board planned further study and possible action at next month’s meeting, with a special session if needed. Surrounding towns already curtail trailers, officials warned, urging a broader zoning approach.
