Committee refers in‑ground pool setback question to BZA

Jul 9, 2025

A resident's request to install an in‑ground pool within less than five feet of a property line prompted members to say the matter likely requires a Board of Zoning Appeals variance rather than a special exception; fencing standards for pools over 36 inches were also noted.

The committee reviewed a request from a resident (referred to in packet as the Macnaughton pool) to install an in‑ground pool that appears to be less than five feet from a property line. Staff and members agreed the setback issue and the close proximity to a residence make this more appropriate for the Board of Zoning Appeals rather than a special exception before the planning body.
