Echo council approves Murphy Apartments porch permit, contingent on fee payment
Summary
The council approved a permit request to add walk-in porches to Murphy Apartments, contingent on the applicant paying the permit fee; council also discussed ensuring backup snowplow operators and following up on fabrication of equipment parts.
The Echo City Council on Nov. 12 approved a building permit request from John Murphy (Murphy Apartments) to add walk-in porches at the front and back of the building, contingent on the applicant paying the required permit fee.
Public Works Supervisor Bryan Nielsen said the original building plans included footings for the porches that were not built; based on that representation the council approved the permit on the condition the permit fee is paid. Nielsen also reported plans to contact several individuals to train on plow operation so backup operators are available if he is unavailable, and said he brought side wing plates for refabrication. There was no detailed discussion of design specifications, inspections, or timeline in the transcript; the council’s approval was recorded as carried with Councilman Schettler absent.
Separately, Councilman Dan Larsen raised concerns about garbage contractor pickup times and driver conduct; the clerk said he had discussed the issue with the contractor, who committed to more consistent pickup times and to talking with drivers about proper driving etiquette.
