I think if you want to just add the heat tapes that are thermostatically controled that you will be fine. As long as the space is completely closed off and insulated with no drafts even without heat tapes I think you would be good but put the heat tapes in just in case to make you feel better. I would not worry much about it. I have no heat in my lakefront home basement and I only have foundation on 3 sides and the 4th wall is not even insulated. I have many water, drain and sewer pipes in this area and I have NEVER had a issue. Good Luck!
