Board of Adjustment - 08/18/26 5:00 pm

The City of Marshalltown Board of Adjustment held a meeting on August 18, 2026, which included a public hearing and approval of a special use permit for a 200 kW ground-mounted solar array at 1776 Governor Road. The property, recently acquired by Mek Dyne, will use the solar array to support their business operations, not a data center. The board discussed landscaping and screening plans, fencing, and the rationale for requiring a special use permit due to zoning restrictions on ground-mounted solar arrays. After no public comments were received, the board unanimously approved the special use permit. No other procurement or budget items were discussed during the meeting.
