Commission agrees to allow accessory pool at 13 Tremont after zoning review
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed a zoning permit for an accessory pool and front-setback at 13 Tremont on July 14; staff said the proposed location complies with setback requirements under the cited regulation, and the commission reached consensus to allow the installation with landscaping and a secure fence.
The Planning and Zoning Commission on July 14 reviewed a zoning-permit request for an accessory structure and front-setback relief at 13 Tremont. The property representative (recorded in the meeting as Annie Elaine) described the house’s multiple frontages and said the owners plan an above-ground pool engineered to be installed partly in-ground (about 27 inches below grade) with surrounding landscaping and a secure fence.
Interim town planner Jeremy DeCarly explained the application needs commission review because the structure would be placed in what the applicant considers a front yard; he cited the applicable zoning provision (section 3.4-1B). Jeremy told the commission the proposed location is compliant with setback requirements. Commissioners discussed visibility, materials and fencing; no commissioner raised objection and the item was advanced by consensus.
The commission instructed the applicant to follow normal permitting processes for fences and building permits and to provide any additional details requested by staff. No formal roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript; the record indicates consensus approval to proceed subject to standard building- and fencing-related approvals.
