(a) No swimming pool, or part thereof, shall be located closer than ten feet to the side or rear line of the lot or parcel upon which it is situated, or closer to any street on which such lot or parcel abuts than a distance of ten feet greater than the building setback line as fixed by the Zoning Code. The area of the pool proper, exclusive of decks, walks and other appurtenances, shall not exceed ten percent of the area of the lot or parcel on which it is situated.
(b) The top of the walls, decks or walks of any swimming pool shall not extend more than twenty feet beyond the pool proper in each direction, except that where any side of the pool is less than twenty feet from any lot line, the difference between such distance and twenty feet shall be added to the required distance of the portion beyond the opposite side of the pool. In the event that, because of the unusual shape or grade of the lot, or the location or shape of the pool, the foregoing formula cannot be applied with reasonable results, the Building Official shall be empowered to fix the location of the pool site to be used in determining the maximum grade of the pool, in keeping with the results sought to be achieved by the formula. In the event of dissatisfaction by any interested party with the determination of the Building Official, an appeal may be taken to the Board of Zoning and Building Appeals.
(c) No lights, diving boards or other accessories shall project more than ten feet above the average grade of the pool site as determined under the provisions of this section.
