# November 9. 2026 Morganton Board of Adjustment Meeting

The City of Morganton Board of Adjustment meeting, identified in the title as November 9, 2026, considered two zoning matters. In the first, Nat Vetka East Inc. requested a variance to install an 88-foot bucket conveyor over existing silos at its industrial facility, exceeding the 65-foot height limit by 23 feet. The applicant cited its recycling process and the energy and noise advantages of gravity-fed transfer. The Board approved the variance 4–1, meeting the required four-fifths vote. No contract award, purchase, or budget allocation was discussed.

The Board then heard an administrative appeal concerning a solid fence at 100 North Fox Street. The city maintained that the fence’s street-facing sections must be at least 50% transparent, while the applicant argued that the disputed section was a side yard and that the ordinance was unclear. The Board granted the appeal 5–0, citing ambiguity in the ordinance, and separately voted that the property address identifies the front of the property. No procurement activity was identified.
