5. Variance application

Board of Adjustment Meeting · 2026-06-23 · agenda_item

This item concerns a variance application for a property located in Clay County. The applicant is seeking permission to place an accessory structure, described as a utility shed, in a location that may not meet standard setback requirements due to existing critical infrastructure, including the well and septic/sewer system, on the front portion of the property. The proposed location at the rear of the lot is considered the only viable option for storage without risking damage to underground lines or impacting property usability and neighborhood aesthetics. This variance request is currently under review by the Clay County Board of Adjustment. If approved, the project would involve site preparation, utility work related to the shed's placement, and the construction of the accessory structure itself, potentially followed by landscaping. Contractors specializing in site prep, concrete, electrical, plumbing, and general construction may find opportunities as this project moves through the review process. Early engagement could be beneficial before final site plans and permits are issued.
