Attorney says Santee Cooper blessed pool location; board approves corner-lot setback reduction
Summary
The board approved a variance to place an in-ground pool at 116 Title Creek Drive closer to the corner-side property line after attorney Chris Pierce said Santee Cooper and the HOA reviewed the location; the board noted any privacy fencing would require an additional variance.
The board approved a variance to allow an in-ground pool at 116 Title Creek Drive to be located closer to the corner-side property line than the ordinance permits.
Attorney Chris Pierce told the board he and his clients worked with utility provider Santee Cooper during site selection and that the revised site plan in the packet reflects that coordination. "As of now, the site location for the pool... is with their approval and blessing," Pierce said. Homeowner Dominic O'Shea added that privacy and an irrigation line made the opposite side of the house unsuitable for the pool.
Staff reminded the board that privacy fencing around pools must meet a separate 10-foot street/corner setback under current zoning; the board approved the pool setback variance but clarified the applicant would need to apply separately for any privacy fence that would encroach on the required corner-side setback. The board applied standard conditions and recorded that the variance would not be a substantial detriment to adjacent property.
