Commission flags permit-timing clause in proposed pool ordinance
Summary
Commission members raised objections to a clause (105.4.1) in a proposed pool ordinance that appears to allow construction to begin before approval of all construction documents; they agreed to modify the language and return a cleaned-up draft for recommendation.
During a chapter-by-chapter review of a proposed model pool ordinance, commissioners focused on Section 105.4.1, which one member read as allowing construction to start before approval of all construction documents.
“The basic issue I had was it indicated that construction can start before approval of all the construction documents,” a commissioner said while discussing Section 105.4.1. Several members agreed they prefer that construction not begin until permits and documents are approved. The group noted that the model language comes from a larger code document and suggested amending the text to require submission and approval of construction documents prior to beginning work.
Commissioners also reviewed scope and definitions for public pools, public spas and aquatic recreation facilities, and agreed to retain definitions so the town has standards available if a public facility is proposed in the future. The commission directed staff to incorporate the changes and bring a revised draft back for review and a possible recommendation to adopt.
