Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dallas County, Dustria A. Relph, Judge. AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, AND REMANDED. Considered by Potterfield, P.J., and Tabor and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Bower, J. (14 pages)
Plaintiffs appeal the district court decision dismissing their petition for writ of certiorari challenging the decision of the Dallas County Board of Adjustment (Board) finding they were in violation of zoning ordinances and claim against the Napa Valley Owners Association (NVOA) for tortious interference with their property rights. OPINION HOLDS: We determine the district court erred by dismissing the petition for writ of certiorari based on its finding plaintiffs had not shown they were aggrieved by the Board’s decision. We reverse on this issue and remand for further proceedings. We conclude the district court did not err in granting the motion to dismiss filed by the NVOA for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted and affirm the court’s ruling on this issue.
