A PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL as regulated herein means any pool or tank, exclusive of "storable swimming pools," not located within a completely enclosed building and containing water at any point to a depth of 24 inches. No private swimming pool, above or below ground, shall be allowed in a residential district except as an accessory use, and unless such private swimming pool has received a certificate of zoning compliance prior to issuance of a building permit and provided such pool complies with the following conditions and requirements:
(a) The pool is an accessory structure intended and used primarily for the enjoyment of the occupants of the principal use of the property.
(b) The pool may not be located in an easement or installed in any manner that negatively impacts storm water runoff or causes flooding to adjoining properties.
(c) The pool, or the entire lot on which such pool is located, shall be enclosed by a structure with a minimum height of four feet to prevent uncontrolled access from the street and from adjacent properties.
(d) Access gates must be self-closing and have a self-latching device and shall be equipped to accommodate a locking device.
(e) No person, firm or corporation shall construct or install a swimming pool or make any alteration therein or in the appurtenances thereof without having received an approved certificate of zoning compliance.
(f) Any lighting to illuminate the pool area shall be so arranged as to deflect the light away from the adjoining properties.
(g) The pool must be a minimum of ten feet away from the property line.
NOTE: Deed restrictions or covenants may also prohibit certain kinds of fences or specify locations in the subdivision. The village does not regulate nor enforce deed restrictions; other home owners or civic associations in a subdivision may regulate them as well as other subdivision rules.
