Muscatine zoning board OKs temporary move of house
The Muscatine Zoning Board of Adjustment voted 3 to 2 to allow Thomas Oerman to temporarily move his house from 118 Park Ave onto the front lot line to avoid soil erosion. The measure requires a sealed soil report and city engineer approval before a permanent relocation, with conditions to ensure footing and drainage stability and potential consultation with other engineers. Neighbors expressed concerns about view, safety, and impact on surrounding properties.
