(a) General Construction Provisions. The private swimming pool is a structure and an accessory building and must be planned to comply with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance applicable thereof. No private swimming pool, however, shall be constructed or installed nearer than ten feet from any property line. No private swimming pool shall be constructed on any lot or plot unless there is a residence thereon and no property will be subdivided if the result will be that such pool will be separated in ownership from the residence property to which it originally attached.
(b) Fence Requirements. Every private swimming pool shall be fenced in with a fence and gate not less than four nor more than six feet high and the gate shall be provided with a lock. No part of the fence shall be closer than five feet from any part of the pool, and the side of the fence closest to the residence shall be constructed with a mesh type material that does not restrict vision. Any opening or mesh in the fence as finally constructed shall be no greater than sixteen square inches in area.
(c) Filtration System and Pump. If the pool is required to have a filtration system and pump, the pump shall be located at a maximum distance from all property lines and in no event shall it be nearer than fifteen feet from any property line.
(d) Lighting. All artificial lighting of the pool area shall be shielded from direct view of neighboring properties and no artificial lighting shall be maintained or operated in connection with any pool in such a manner as to be a nuisance or an annoyance to neighboring property owners.
(e) Drainage of Pool. When it becomes necessary to drain a pool, all drainage water from the pool shall be drained into the storm sewer system of the City and under no circumstances shall the pool be drained into the sanitary sewer system of the City.
(f) Owner's Responsibility. The owner of the pool shall be totally responsible for its operation and maintenance and no liability whatsoever shall attach to the City as a result of the operation thereof as to any person or property, and the owner shall indemnify the City for any liability which the City sustains as a result of the operation of the pool by the owner.
