Summary

Commissioners approved bulk-water permit 26-000185 for David Howard for a property on County Road 540, conditional on a valid camping permit and subsequent building permit; staff said the residence is currently uninhabitable and wastewater disposal must be demonstrated.

Huerfano County commissioners voted to approve bulk-water permit 26-000185 for David Howard, authorizing temporary water service while the applicant stays in a camper and proceeds toward building a new residence. Staff described the property as having a residence that "is not livable at this time" and two outbuildings, and recommended approval with conditions.

The board's motion, made by a commissioner and seconded, tied the bulk-water permit to a current camping permit and required alignment of permit expiration with the camping permit and later the building permit. During discussion, staff said camping permits require proof of an authorized wastewater disposal plan (septic or contracted pump-out), addressing commissioners' questions about gray- and black-water disposal. The transcript records the motion to approve the permit with those stipulations and a voice vote in favor.
