IWA issues jurisdictional ruling for inground pool at 32 Gulfview Court
Summary
The Inlands Wetlands Agency issued a jurisdictional ruling for a 16×28 inground pool proposed at 32 Gulfview Court; applicant said excavated material will be removed off‑site and the proposed pool location is outside the mapped floodway.
The Milford Inlands Wetlands Agency on Nov. 5 issued a jurisdictional ruling for application IW250058, a proposed 16×28 inground pool with concrete surround at 32 Gulfview Court. Staff presented the plan showing the pool location approximately 28 feet from the mapped wetland line; the applicant confirmed excavated material would be hauled off‑site and that the proposed pool is outside the coastal floodway at the proposed elevation.
Why it mattered: The property is adjacent to Gulf Pond and contains phragmites and other wetland vegetation in nearby areas, so the agency reviewed proximity and erosion‑control measures. The applicant committed to silt fencing and standard erosion and sediment controls; staff confirmed wetlands were located by field survey and are shown on the plan.
Outcome: The agency issued a jurisdictional ruling allowing the applicant to proceed with the pool application process subject to the standard requirement that erosion/sediment controls are installed and monitored during construction.
