Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Story County, Bethany Currie, Judge.  WRIT SUSTAINED.  Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Mullins and May, JJ.  Opinion by Mullins, J.  (9 pages)

            The Story County Board of Adjustment (Board) appeals district court orders sustaining a writ of certiorari, annulling previous proceedings before the Board, and remanding the matter to the Board.  The Board argues the district court erred in finding the Board failed to substantially comply with the requirement to make written findings of fact and legal conclusions.  OPINION HOLDS: Our review of the record does not reveal the factual basis upon which the Board relied in granting the conditional use permit.  Accordingly, the Board did not comply with the ordinance requiring written findings of fact.  Thus, the writ for certiorari is sustained.
