Krebs commission recommends building permit for nine-unit apartment at 270 Electric with waterline permitting conditions
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission on Dec. 6, 2024 voted 5-0 to recommend approval of a building permit for a nine-unit apartment at 270 Electric (Block 144, Lots 9–12) and noted state water authorities require a waterline-extension permit, inspection and approval prior to installation; the commission also noted a fire marshal review is available.
The City of Krebs Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously on Dec. 6, 2024 to recommend approval of a building permit for a new nine-unit apartment on 270 Electric (Block 144, Lots 9, 10, 11 and 12).
Commission discussion focused on required water infrastructure approvals. Commission member Larry Coxsey read guidance from ODQ stating a waterline extension "will need to be permitted" and that plans must be inspected and submitted to water-quality authorities for approval prior to construction or installation. Chairman Mark Moy summarized planned field work, saying: "they were going to bore it, case it, put a six-inch line across, put a fire hydrant, they'll put another T across that ... and put a two-inch water meter on the other side of the fire hydrant. They'll tee it off so we could add on to it going down [the street]." Moy also noted the commission has the option to have the fire marshal inspect the site.
The minutes indicate the project’s engineer (referred to as Red Dirt) and the developer must secure any required permits and provide copies for the city to keep on file. The record quotes correspondence from Jonathan Schultz at ODQ specifying that crews may not bore or proceed until approval is obtained. Dana DeFrange moved to recommend the building permit; Richard Cotton seconded and the motion passed 5-0 (DeFrange, Cotton, Garigin, Coxsey, Moy voting yes).
Why it matters: approving construction in areas that require new water infrastructure depends on state and municipal approvals; without a waterline permit and inspection, the extension cannot be installed and on-site fire protection (hydrant) and metering cannot be finalized. The minutes do not record any public comments or additional conditions beyond the permitting and inspection requirements cited from ODQ and the option for fire marshal review.
Next steps: the recorded action is a recommendation from the commission; the minutes do not state the subsequent municipal action or timeline for final permitting.
