BERLIN – The trial regarding occupancy restrictions at White Horse Park has been delayed until at least March.
A judge this week granted a motion for continuance filed by the attorney representing the plaintiffs, a group of full-time White Horse Park residents suing Worcester County over plans to enforce long-ignored occupancy restrictions. A trial had been scheduled for Dec. 15 and 16.
“The trial for December is being administratively postponed,” an announcement on the White Horse Park Community Association website reads.
Last year, a group of residents filed a lawsuit against the county over its plan to enforce decades-old occupancy restrictions in White Horse Park. Though some people have lived in the park for years, it was only in 2018 that the county began efforts to bring the community into compliance with its zoning restrictions, which state that units can’t be occupied year-round.
