Muscatine County sets rezoning hearing for Wapsi Township and appoints Ashley Spittler to zoning board
Loading...
Summary
Supervisors set a May 18 public hearing on a proposed rezoning of about 12.44 acres in Wapsi Township from agricultural to residential and appointed Ashley Spittler to the Muscatine County Zoning Board of Adjustments for a five‑year term ending March 31, 2031.
The Muscatine County Board of Supervisors on April 20 set a public hearing for May 18 at 9 a.m. to consider rezoning roughly 12.44 acres in Wapsi Township from A‑1 agricultural to R‑1 residential.
County Development Director Eric Furnace (introduced by the chair) said there was little to explain beyond setting the hearing date; the board moved, seconded and approved the date.
On a related planning item, Furnace recommended appointing Ashley Spittler to the Muscatine County Zoning Board of Adjustments to fill a vacancy. Furnace said the county advertised twice for the opening, received no applicants the first time, and that Spittler — who already serves on the zoning commission — was the only applicant on the second posting. The board moved and approved her appointment to a five‑year term ending March 31, 2031.
Furnace reminded the board that the board of adjustments hears special‑use permit requests, variance appeals and zoning enforcement appeals; rural-residence special-use permits are a common item the board reviews.
