Board approves setback variances for small backyard pool at 955 Bennington Drive
Summary
Luz Gonzalez, speaking for Carlos Burgos, received approval to install a small pool that will be sited to avoid overhead power lines; variances allow the pool to be approximately 7 feet from a shed and about 3 feet from the lot line, with the condition that required town permits be obtained.
Luz Gonzalez appeared for Carlos Burgos and said the family purchased a small pool and worked with building inspectors to place it where it would avoid overhead RG&E power lines. Staff verified that town inspectors assisted and that the chosen placement minimized public-safety risks even though it requires variances for distance to an existing shed and to the lot line.
Gonzalez said neighbors supported the relocation and that initial installation had to be taken down and re-sited, incurring extra cost. The board applied the statutory variance factors under Town Law §267-B and approved the variances with the condition that the applicant obtain all required town permits before proceeding.
The motion passed unanimously on roll call.
