Plaintiffs appeal as of right from a judgment in which the trial court dismissed their complaint. Plaintiffs had requested the court to enjoin defendant. township from preventing them from using their property as a mobile home park.
Before commencement of this action, defendant township had been opposed to a trailer park in the area of plaintiffs Fritz’ property. In fact, trailer parks were permitted nowhere in the township. After this action had been started, the township passed an amendment to the zoning ordinance which would permit trailer parks only near the northeast corner of the township on what is known as the "Weiss land”.
Plaintiffs first contend that they were entitled to *436a summary judgment on July 6, 1970, because at that time the township had no legitimate defense to plaintiffs’ action.
Plaintiffs’ motion was phrased exclusively in terms of GCR 1963, 117.2(3).1 Under that rule the test is whether or not there exists any genuine issue of fact. A reading of defendant’s answer to the motion reveals that there were valid issues of material fact raised, i.e., the value and usefulness of plaintiffs’ property; the relationship of plaintiffs’ property to the overall planning of the township; the possibility of the trailer park having adverse effects on the adjoining agricultural properties; and whether or not the zoning ordinance bore a reasonable relationship to the public health, safety, and general welfare. It is, therefore, clear that the trial court was correct in refusing to grant a summary judgment based upon GCR 1963, 117.2(3).
Plaintiffs further contend, however, that the amendment which was adopted during the pendency of this suit is inapplicable to the instant case and cannot, therefore, preclude the use of plaintiffs’ property for trailer park purposes. It is plaintiffs’ position that they had obtained vested rights under the zoning laws in effect before the amendment by virtue of the fact that they had spent "substantial money for plans, engineering services, and legal fees, having knowledge only of the existence of the void ordinance”.
in City of Lansing v Dawley, 247 Mich 394, 396-397 (1929), the Court stated:
"It thus appears that the first work done upon the new building was three months after the ordinance
*437went into effect and after the defendant had been notified that his permit had been revoked. If he had constructed the building or partially constructed it, if the work he did after the enactment of the ordinance had been done before, there would be no question as to his vested property rights. But he did nothing of a substantial character. He went no farther than to order the plans and cause a survey to be made of the lot. This preliminary work was not sufficient to create a vested right to erect the building. In Rice v Van Vranken, [132 Misc 82, 83-84] 229 NY Supp 32 [34, 35 (1928)], a similar claim was asserted. There the defendant had made expenditures of money for plans and specifications, for building materials and for financing a building. The court said:
" 'In view of the fact that no work had been commenced and no building erected or in course of construction by defendant when the ordinance became effective, the expenditures made and the obligations incurred by him in reliance upon such permits, prior and subsequently to the enactment of the zoning ordinance, are insufficient to give him a vested right to erect these apartment houses in violation thereof.
Evidently the test in each case as to whether a holder of a permit has acquired vested rights thereunder is not whether he has spent much or little in reliance upon it, but rather whether there has been any tangible change in the land itself by excavation and construction.’
"It is our conclusion that the defendant acquired no vested right to erect this building in violation of the zoning ordinance.”
Plaintiffs make no showing that they had commenced work upon the land sufficient to create any vested rights. They were still at the preliminary stages and, therefore, under City of Lansing v Dawley, supra, we find plaintiffs’ second contention to be without merit.
Plaintiffs finally contend that the amended zoning ordinance as it is applied to plaintiffs’ property *438is an unreasonable exercise of the township police power under MCLA 125.273; MSA 5.2963(3).
Plaintiffs argue that there was no showing by the defendants that the area chosen by the township for a trailer park is suitable for trailer park purposes. However, the burden is on plaintiffs, who are attacking the validity of the ordinance, to show the unsuitability of the site chosen. Paka Corp v City of Jackson, 364 Mich 122 (1961). Therefore, plaintiffs cannot now complain about the absence of evidence regarding the suitability of the area chosen by defendants for the area zoned for trailer park use.
Neither can plaintiffs contend that the ordinance deprives plaintiffs of any reasonable use of the land.
"A zoning restriction deprives the zoned property of any reasonable use and is, therefore, confiscatory if all permitted uses are so devoid of feasibility that the restriction has accomplished the destruction of all usable value.” Reibel v Birmingham, 23 Mich App 732, 739 (1970).
Although there was much testimony as to how much a trailer park would increase the value of plaintiffs’ property, the trial court found that with proper tiling the land would be excellent for farming. The court also noted that much of the land in that area needed tiling to become productive. There was also testimony that plaintiffs’ land would be worth $300-$400 per acre as farmland. It can hardly be said, therefore, that the ordinance deprives the property of any reasonable use.
Plaintiffs also point out the existence of other nonconforming uses in the area. There are about fifteen residences in the area along with a landfill operation and a junk yard. However, the vast *439majority of the land in the area is still used for agricultural purposes and the existence of the above nonconforming uses is not, in our opinion, sufficient to bring the instant case within the ambit of Alderton v Saginaw, 367 Mich 28 (1962),
Affirmed.
Danhof, P. J., concurred"(3) that except as to the amount of damages there is no genuine issue as to any material fact, and the moving party is therefore entitled to judgment as a matter of law.”
