Board of Adjustment - August 10, 2026

The City of Dickinson Board of Adjustment held a meeting on August 10, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request to reduce the minimum agricultural lot size from 10 acres to 8.745 acres for a property located at 2845 10th Avenue East in Stark County, North Dakota. The applicant explained that the reduction was due to prior private sale approvals and required right-of-way dedications, which reduced the lot size below the municipal code minimum. City staff confirmed that the smaller lot would maintain its agricultural zoning with no expected future development. The board discussed the implications and potential concerns, noting minimal public opposition. Ultimately, the board voted unanimously to approve the variance, allowing the lot size reduction despite it not meeting the standard zoning requirement. No other procurement or budget matters were addressed during the meeting.
