[2218 130th Ave N, Moorhead, MN 56580; 9502 90th St S, Sabin, MN 56580; 7753 70th St. N, Glyndon, MN; 27046 102nd Ave S, Hawley, MN 56549; case VAR_008_2026 (for Jeremy Clark's request)] The Clay County Board of Adjustment is scheduled to meet on July 21, 2026. The agenda includes public hearings for several variance requests. Todd Fuller is requesting a continued variance for minimum lot width at the building setback in a shoreland district for an existing structure. Jeremy Clark is requesting a variance for the Ordinary High-Water Level setback for an existing septic system. A withdrawn request from Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion for a variance to the road centerline setback for a structure is also noted. The minutes from the June 23rd, 2026 meeting detail decisions on other variance requests: Blake Carson's request for a variance to the Ordinary High-Water Level setback for a septic system was granted with conditions. Bruce and Lucy Raymond's request for an after-the-fact variance to the Ordinary High-Water Level setback for a structure was granted with conditions. Todd Fuller's request for an after-the-fact variance to the minimum lot width at the building setback in a shoreland district was tabled to the July 21st meeting to allow for inspection of the sewage treatment system and to obtain additional information. A staff report for Jeremy Clark's variance request indicates it involves a variance from the 150-foot Ordinary High Water Level setback for a replacement and expansion of an individual sewage treatment system on a 1.5-acre tract.
