Public hearing held on conditional‑use permit for pool at 13751 Belcrest Court; second reading set for May 26
Summary
During a May 11 public hearing, owner representative Ryan Taylor said geotechnical concerns for a proposed pool at 13751 Belcrest Court were addressed by over‑excavation of two feet; the pool is planned to hold 62,000 gallons and the spa 2,000 gallons. The Board closed the hearing and continued Bill No. 26‑17 to May 26 for further consideration.
Mayor Steve Rehm opened a public hearing on May 11 to consider a Conditional Use Permit request for a residential swimming pool at 13751 Belcrest Court. Ryan Taylor, the owner’s representative, said the geotechnical concerns noted at the Planning & Zoning meeting had been addressed by over‑excavating an additional two feet to stabilize the site.
Taylor told the Board the planned pool would contain about 62,000 gallons and the connected spa about 2,000 gallons; City Planner Ryan Spencer confirmed this would be the second‑largest pool approved in the city. When asked by Alderman Murphy about a potential for brown water conditions, Taylor said none had been observed. Alderman Murphy and others also asked about the slope toward Queeny Park; Taylor noted the slope is a decline greater than 20 feet but that a large retaining wall is already in place. Mayor Rehm asked about neighbor approval; Taylor said the applicants own the adjoining lot and that nearby neighbors had indicated approval. Alderman Gerber asked about privacy measures relative to a walking path at Queeny Park; Taylor said no landscaping contracts had been executed but he expected the property owners would address privacy.
Mayor Rehm closed the public hearing and read Bill No. 26‑17 (the conditional use ordinance) for first reading; the Board continued the item to its May 26 meeting for the second reading and consideration.
