(1) There shall be a distance of not less than ten (10) feet between the adjoining property line and the outside of the pool wall.
(2) There shall be a distance of not less than four (4) feet between the outside pool wall and any building located on the same lot.
(3) No swimming pool shall be located less than ten (10) feet from any side street or alley right-of-way, or the distance required for a side yard by this Zoning Code, whichever is greater.
(4) No swimming pool shall be located in an easement.
(5) For the protection of the general public, all yards containing swimming pools shall be completely enclosed by a fence not less than four feet in height. The gates shall be of a self-closing and latching type, with the latch on the inside of the gate not readily available for children to open. Gates shall be capable of being securely locked when the pool is not in use. However, if the entire premises of the residence are enclosed, then this provision may be waived by the Zoning Administrator upon inspection and approval.
(6) All swimming pools, whether in ground or above ground, will be calculated into the total lot coverage percentage calculations as defined in Section 1286.01(b)(5).
