(a) No Swimming Pool shall be filled, used, or maintained unless all of the requirements of this Chapter are complied with, and the owner has obtained a Certificate of Compliance from the Village. Filling a Swimming Pool with water without compliance with this Chapter will result in the Village Zoning Inspector or their designee issuing an Order requiring the immediate draining of the swimming pool.
(b) No Swimming Pool shall be constructed within ten (10) feet of any property line or in front of a building line, or within thirty (30) feet of the adjacent property owner's dwelling if located in a side yard area. Only Family Swimming Pools or Private Swimming Pools shall be constructed in the Residential district, and the water area of such pool shall not occupy an area greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rear lot area remaining after the area of the garage structure has been subtracted from the area of the rear lot. "Rear lot area" means the area between the back building line of the principal building and the rear lot line.
(c) No Swimming Pool shall be constructed having a height above grade greater than four (4) feet, except that a handrail no higher than seven (7) feet above grade shall be permitted, at the discretion of the Village Zoning Inspector or their designee, who shall use as their standards the considerations of safety and esthetics contained in this Chapter. There shall be steps or a ladder allowing ingress and egress for every forty (40) feet of the perimeter of the pool, provided that one ladder or set of steps shall be provided for all Swimming Pools contemplated by this Chapter.
(d) Whoever violates this Section shall be subject to the penalties outlined in Section 1385.99 of this Chapter. (Ord. 2022-12-18. Passed 12-13-22.)
