Krebs commission denies permit for front porch at 130 SW 6th Street after ordinance concern
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to deny a building permit for a front porch at 130 SW 6th Street, citing an apparent conflict with city ordinance and directing the owner to seek a variance from the Board of Adjustment.
An application to add a front porch at 130 SW 6th Street (Block 51 Lot 7) was denied after commissioners raised code concerns and discussed alternatives. Resident and applicant Buddy Garvin explained he wanted the porch extended because "that house is so much lower than the actual street" and to reduce water intrusion; he said the work would make the house more appealing.
Commissioner Richard Cotton responded that the city has an ordinance limiting porch extensions: "We have an ordinance that says you can’t do that." Cotton said the Board of Adjustment handles variance requests and advised Garvin to appear there with a survey; the commission itself does not grant variances. Richard Cotton moved not to approve the porch permit; Chairman Mark Moy seconded. The commission voted unanimously to deny the permit.
The transcript shows the denial was a formal motion and vote; it does not record any filed variance application, a Board of Adjustment hearing date, or additional mitigation measures. The mayor was referenced as attempting to address related water issues but did not speak during this agenda item.
