1. Request Summary

Planning Commission Meeting · 2026-07-21 · agenda_item

Gerald Zimmerman, representing the Gerald C. Zimmerman Revocable Living Trust, is seeking an Interim Use Permit for temporary agricultural employee housing. The proposed location is at 7265 and 7267 50th St. N in Glyndon, MN, on three agricultural parcels. This request involves using the existing farmhouse, which has housed seasonal workers for about 20 years, and a newly constructed shop for employee housing. The project also aims to combine these parcels to resolve an internal property line issue. This item is currently under review by the Clay County Planning Commission. The project would involve ensuring the shop meets all parcel, building permit, inspection, and health requirements before occupancy. It also requires establishing combined capacity, utility, parking, setback, recordkeeping, and termination standards for both buildings. Contractors specializing in site preparation, utility work, and potentially building renovations or finishes could find opportunities as the project moves forward. Engaging early before final plans and permits are set could provide a competitive advantage.
