Doug Allen’s plan to move a 47 by 47 foot home from its current foundation at 4618 County Road N to his property on Nora Road was called “ambitious” by one Town Plan Commission member.

But Allen sees it differently. “With my age and everything else, it got me to wonder,” said the 57-year-old Cottage Grove man about all the permits and everything else involved in making the move happen. Not to mention that winter is coming and the thought of taking on such a significant project while trying to dodge the melee of winter storms that frequent the area seemed less than desirable.
Because of the weather’s uncertainty, the Town Board approved a Plan Commission motion to approve the site plan for the new house and to give Allen six months until after occupancy permit receipt to remove the existing home.
