Excluding commercial pools, the location of which shall be approved by the Building Inspector, out-of-door swimming pools shall be erected in side or rear yards only. Every pool hereafter built shall be located upon the lot or parcel to allow a distance between the pool and the property lines so that any person may be readily observed when approaching or in the vicinity of the pool. A distance of ten feet from each property side line and rear line and fifteen feet from the main building to which such pool is accessory shall be presumed to be a minimum distance for this purpose. Exception: hot tubs are not subject to the fifteen foot distance requirement from the main building.
