5. Shoreland District Attachment - If Applicable

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

This item concerns a property located in the Shoreland - Special Protection Rivers & Streams district near the Buffalo River. A variance is being requested because proposed components for a sewage treatment system (SSTS) would be located within the 150-foot Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) setback. The variance, if approved, would require the reconstruction or upgrade of the existing SSTS through an Environmental Health-approved design, with specific conditions for OHWL separation, erosion control, and vegetation protection. This process is currently under review by the Clay County Board of Adjustment. The project would involve site work related to underground utilities and potentially specialized construction for the sewage treatment system, followed by landscaping and final site compliance checks. Contractors specializing in site prep, grading, underground utilities, plumbing, and environmental services could find opportunities by engaging early, before final site plans and permits are established.
