A private swimming pool shall be allowed only as an accessory use to a residence and in compliance with the following conditions and requirements:
(a) Exclusive Private Uses. The pool is intended and is to be used solely for the enjoyment of the occupants of the principal building(s) of the property on which it is located and their guests.

(c) Fencing. The property on which the swimming pool is located shall have a wall or fence of not less than four (4) feet in height with a gate and lock as to prevent uncontrolled access by children from the street or from adjacent properties.

(f) Abandonment. Should the owner abandon the pool, he or she shall arrange to remove the depression and return the surface of the ground to its original grade and approximately the same condition as before the pool was constructed, and notify the Zoning Administrator of the abandonment of said pool, so that the inspection of the site may be made, and the records of the permit marked accordingly.
