Disabled veteran seeks setback variance for pool screen enclosure for weekly VA physical therapy
Summary
Vicki Gray, a disabled veteran, requested a rear setback reduction from 10 to 5 feet to build a screened pool enclosure she says is needed for VA‑approved weekly physical therapy; staff recommended approval with conditions and noted the variance applies to the screen enclosure rather than the pool itself.
Staff presented LDLVAR2025‑31 seeking a reduction of rear accessory setbacks from 10 to 5 feet for a screened pool enclosure on a 0.19‑acre lot in the Willow Ridge subdivision. The pool footprint measures about 41 by 18 feet; staff said the pool itself meets setbacks but the vertical screen enclosure triggers the variance. Staff noted HOA approval is pending and that the enclosure would connect to the home but have an open roof profile so it remains an accessory structure.
Applicant Vicki Gray, who identified herself as a "100% disabled veteran" and said she receives weekly VA‑approved physical therapy, told the hearing the pool "means a lot to me and my family." Staff and the hearing officer clarified the relief sought is for the screen enclosure's setback; if approved, conditions would limit use consistent with accessory structure rules and applicable building codes.
