Committee approves bronze aluminum pool fence at 30 Cole Lane
Summary
A local review committee approved a bronze aluminum pool fence at 30 Cole Lane after the applicant told members the layout had board of health approval and showed photos of similar domestic installations; the fence will follow the approved outline and be softened with plantings.
The committee approved an application to install a bronze-colored aluminum fence around a nearly completed pool at 30 Cole Lane.
The applicant, Catherine, told the committee the pool is almost completed and that the plan is for "a fenced pool enclosure." She said the layout was approved by the board of health in a letter dated April 12, 2022 and that the enclosure had been staked on site to match that plan. Catherine said the chosen fence — a quality bronze aluminum model with a double rail at the top — was recommended for strength and durability in a salt environment and would blend with plantings to lessen visual impact. "The pool is almost completed," she said, and she presented neighborhood photographs showing similar domestic fences.
Committee members asked whether the fence would surround only the pool or a larger yard area; Catherine pointed to the outline in the application and described the proposed alignment, explaining it runs from the back corner of the garage and surrounds the pool area up to the corner of a small barn. After brief questions, a committee member moved to approve the application "as submitted," the motion was seconded, and the committee voted in favor. The chair recorded the approval by voice vote.
Minutes from the meeting note the applicant thanked staff for guidance on the application process. The committee did not attach additional conditions to the approval; any required permits or inspections from other agencies would proceed through the usual channels.
