Board of Adjustment 9/24/2026

The Clay County Board of Adjustment held a meeting on September 24, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request related to zoning regulations. The applicant, Lori Brewer, sought to reduce the required front yard setback from 30 feet to 13 feet for a 30x30 foot accessory garage structure on her property to accommodate easier access due to a disability. Staff recommended denial of the variance, citing that the parcel could be used without the variance and that granting it would not align with the ordinance's intent. However, after discussion and consideration of the applicant's disability and site constraints, the Board voted to approve the variance request. The approval allows the applicant to proceed with building the garage in the requested location. No other procurement or contracting matters were discussed during the meeting.
