Description
This litigation arose when 25 resident home-owners filed a suit to enjoin the defendants from erecting a fire station in an
area of the City of Savannah which had been zoned for residences, apartments, and churches and on land which the city had
acquired before the area was so zoned. In substance, the petition, after being twice amended, alleges that the City of Savannah
cannot lawfully erect a fire station on land, though owned by it, which has been zoned for other and different uses; that
the land which the city proposes to use as a location for a fire station had been previously dedicated by it to the public
for park purposes; and that the city, acting through its governing body, had flagrantly abused its discretion in locating
a site for its fire station, since it had, in doing so, acted arbitrarily, capriciously, and in bad faith. These allegations
were positively denied by the defendants.
