Some buildings used by Curtiss-Wright Corporation for manufacturing purposes are located within the area, and it appears that there have been some residential developments in the locality during recent years. Located thereon is a paved and banked track approximately 2-1/2 miles in length, and also a so-called "torture track" used in connection with the indicated operations. The land involved in the present controversy, comprising an area somewhat exceeding 1 square mile, was zoned as "industrial." The record indicates that for a number of years past it has been used by corporations engaged in the manufacture and sale of automobiles, and by Curtiss-Wright Corporation, as a testing and proving ground. No question is raised as to the legality of the proceedings observed at that time. In 1948 Shelby township elected to proceed under the provisions of PA 1943, No 184, and adopted a zoning ordinance in accordance therewith. The Shelby Home Owners' Council is a voluntary *303 unincorporated association comprising owners of land within the township and has joined with the other plaintiffs in instituting the present suit, the purpose of which is the obtaining of injunctive relief.
The individual plaintiffs in this case are residents of Shelby township, Macomb county, and the owners of real property assessed for taxes therein. Rowley, for defendant Curtiss-Wright Corporation. Wendt, for defendant Shelby Township.īutzel, Eaman, Long, Gust & Kennedy (Percy M.
