Board approves move of mobile home in Washington city
The Washington Board of Adjustment preliminarily approved a hardship request to relocate a mobile home onto Myrtle Chance’s lot in the 800 block of East Seventh Street. The plan includes placement limits and a removal clause if the family leaves town. The action, though contested, asserts board authority to grant exceptions to the mobile home ordinance, which currently bans such homes outside approved parks.
