  • Application for a permit under this chapter shall be made to the Building Inspector and shall be accompanied by the following:
    A. 
    Plans and specifications or proper description brochures, in duplicate.
    B. 
    Plot plans, and/or survey, prepared by a licensed surveyor or engineer, in duplicate, showing property lines of the premises upon which the swimming pool is to be constructed or installed, all existing houses and structures thereon, abutting streets and properties and the location and dimensions of the proposed pool and its auxiliary structures, including topographic information and spot grades in the affected yard, as well as 10 feet onto all adjacent properties, to demonstrate that the proposed pool construction will not impact drainage, and on which the licensed professional has located the proposed pool and certified that said location is accurate; the certification shall also set forth the area of the rear yard and the area of the pool and its accessory structures as calculated by the licensed professional and a description of the enclosure or fence to be used.
    C. 
    The pool, its apron and any structures accessory to the pool shall be included in determining lot coverage. The water surface area of a private swimming pool hereafter constructed or enlarged shall not exceed 25% of the actual rear yard area, such rear yard area being determined for this purpose by projecting the rear line of the residence building to the side lines of the lot and determining the area to the rear of that line. In all cases, the pool shall be located behind the rear line of the existing structures adjacent thereto.
    D. 
    Where the pool is installed on a corner lot, the side nearest the street shall be screened with shrubs no less than four feet in height above ground level.
    E. 
    A description, in duplicate, of the method of disinfection, treatment and disposal of the water to be used.
    F. 
    A fee of $150 for any aboveground pool, and $75 for the first $1,000 or fraction thereof, plus $10 for each additional $1,000 or fraction thereof, of the estimated cost of construction for any in-ground pool.
    [Amended 9-21-2010 by Ord. No. 1417]

    After completion of the pool, the licensed professional shall certify that the pool was actually constructed in the location as indicated on the aforementioned survey.
