1. Request Summary

Board of Adjustment Meeting · 2026-07-21 · agenda_item

This item concerns a variance request for a property located at 2218 130th Avenue N in Moorhead, MN. The applicant, Jeremy Clark of Clark Excavating, is seeking approval to replace and expand an existing sewage treatment system on a 1.5-acre parcel. The current property use is a single-family dwelling with a barn, and it is zoned Agricultural General with Shoreland protection. The proposed action involves replacing a 1,500-gallon tank and adding four drainfield laterals, which would be located closer to the Buffalo River than the standard 150-foot setback. This variance request is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, the project would involve site work for the new sewage system, including excavation, tank installation, and drainfield construction. Contractors specializing in excavation, concrete, plumbing, and site preparation could find opportunities. Early engagement is advised as plans and permits are still being finalized.
