Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Story County, Bethany J. Currie, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., and Tabor and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (16 pages)
A county board of adjustment appeals a district court decision reversing and remanding its grant of a conditional use permit for want of written findings. OPINION HOLDS: We deny the motion to dismiss this appeal filed by the permit applicant, as we conclude the district court’s order was a final adjudication of the parties’ rights. Because we agree the board did not substantially comply with the requirement to establish findings, the district court is affirmed.
