The Clay County Board of Adjustment & Planning and Zoning held a meeting on July 21, 2026, addressing several procurement-related matters including variance requests, conditional use permits, and interim use permits. Key procurement discussions involved approval of an after-the-fact variance for septic system compliance on a residential property, a conditional use permit for a telecommunications hut by Red River Communications supported by a federal grant to extend fiber service, and a 39.5-acre gravel mine permit with conditions for reclamation and road use. Additionally, the board reviewed a conditional use permit for a 5-megawatt community solar garden project on agricultural land, including conditions for screening, decommissioning, and compliance with local and state regulations. Motions to approve these permits with specified conditions were passed unanimously. The meeting also included updates on mileage reimbursement rates and upcoming solar energy projects, reflecting ongoing infrastructure and utility development in the county.
