Summary

Board approved Case 26-2975-VAR to permit a pool at 21008 Stillwood Court 5 feet from the rear property line (20-foot relief) after the applicant explained the lot’s topography left only one feasible pool location; the vote was unanimous.

The Board of Adjustment approved Case 26-2975-VAR allowing a residential pool at 21008 Stillwood Court to encroach into the rear-yard setback. Staff reported the request was for a 20-foot reduction so the proposed pool could be five feet from the rear property line; packet materials noted 21 notices mailed with three returned in favor and none opposed.

The applicant described a steep dip in topography on one side of the lot and said the fenced backyard is short, leaving the left-hand area as the only practical pool placement. After questions and packet review, the board voted unanimously to approve the variance. "The requested change is a 20 foot reduction in the required rear setback," staff said in the presentation.
