ADR approves pool relocation at 313 Upper Toyon with conditions for pool-equipment sound mitigation
Summary
The ADR committee recommended approval of a proposal to replace an indoor pool with a new outdoor pool at 313 Upper Toyon and asked that pool equipment be screened or sound‑attenuated (three sides) to reduce noise impact on downhill neighbors.
The ADR Committee recommended that the town council approve a plan at 313 Upper Toyon to move an indoor pool outdoors and to place associated equipment beneath an approved parking pad, with a requirement that pool equipment be screened to mitigate noise.
Contractor Bob Dwyer described the project as "pretty simple" and said the pool will be supported on piers: "We won't introduce any additional water to the soils, obviously, because the pool's designed not to leak." Committee members focused on the pool-equipment location and potential noise impacts. A committee member said: "I do have a problem with the pool equipment not being better screened or covered just from an...noise point of view. I think it can be enclosed in some kind of a noise proof, enclosure."
Members discussed options including partial enclosure, three-sided screening and the town's decibel parameters; staff confirmed the equipment will be tucked under the previously approved parking deck and asked the applicant to provide specific attenuation details. The ADR recorded a 3–0 recommendation in favor of the project with the condition that the applicant submit a plan for sound attenuation consistent with town decibel guidance.
Next steps: staff will record the ADR recommendation and request the applicant provide plans/specifications showing the proposed screening or enclosure so the town can confirm compliance before council consideration.
