Board grants setback variance for Noblesville in-ground pool
Summary
The board approved a variance reducing the rear-yard setback from 40 to 15 feet for an in-ground pool at 21252 Creek Road, with staff confirming the parcel is a legal nonconforming lot created before the current ordinance.
The Hamilton County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance allowing an in-ground pool at 21252 Creek Road to sit closer to the rear lot line than the ordinance normally permits.
Owner Jacob Blackburn and contractor Alyssa Cox (Seabray Pool) told the board the house sits on the 40-foot mark and the proposed pool would be about "22 feet, 5 inches" from the back of the home, which necessitates a setback reduction. Cox explained the placement helps protect an important tree and provides usable backyard space.
Staff confirmed the lot is a legal nonconforming parcel that was split prior to the current ordinance and noted the adjacent land is an open field. Board members called the pool a "customary residential amenity" and moved to approve the variance (BCA-RV-0007). The motion carried on a voice vote; a detailed numeric roll-call was not recorded in the transcript.
