Poweshiek County approves zoning change in Grant Township for Agnews to build house
Summary
After a 6–0 Zoning Commission recommendation and a neighbor concern about drainage, the Poweshiek County Board of Supervisors approved Dan and Nancy Agnew’s request to rezone a parcel in Section 18, Grant Township from agricultural to residential to allow construction of a home.
The Poweshiek County Board of Supervisors on May 21 approved a rezoning request from Dan and Nancy Agnew to change a parcel in Section 18, Grant Township, from agricultural to residential so the couple may build a house.
Zoning Administrator J.D. Griffith told the board the Zoning Commission met May 19 and voted 6–0 to recommend approval. During the public hearing, a neighboring resident raised a concern about potential changes to drainage; Dan Agnew responded that there would be no change to the waterway. The board voted to approve the rezoning after the hearing; the motion was made by Supervisor Jeff Tindle and seconded by Supervisor Jacki Bolen.
The rezoned area was described in the record as the SW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 18, T80 R16W, located on the north side of 385th Avenue approximately 1,400 feet east of Highway 6. The meeting minutes do not record any conditions attached to the approval or further mitigation measures regarding drainage. J.D. Griffith also noted he met with the board for his regular monthly zoning report but no additional actions were recorded in the public minutes.
The public hearing opened at 9:00 a.m. and closed at 9:02 a.m.; the Zoning Commission recommendation and the board’s approval are recorded in the official minutes.
