As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:
SWIMMING POOL
Any pool designed, used and maintained for swimming purposes
by an individual for use by himself or herself, household and guests
and located on a lot as an accessory use to a residence, but not including
a wading and portable pool.
Physical connections between potable water systems
and pool circulating systems shall not be permitted. The fill pipe
shall be located at least two fill-pipe diameters above the rim of
the pool.
A swimming pool shall be equipped with a mechanical
filtration system.
Swimming pools shall be provided with one discharge
outlet for drainage of the pool. Pool water may be discharged into
storm sewers or open water only if such water does not have any chlorine
residual and if such water has been held for a minimum of 10 days
after the last application of chlorine. A backwash outlet if so provided
shall be connected to a sanitary sewer or into a dry well.
Bathhouses, cabanas or similar structures in
connection with a swimming pool shall be constructed and set back
from all property lines as required by all laws of the Village of
Rye Brook.
All outside lights for illumination of a swimming
pool shall be so installed and maintained that the source of light
is not directed at neighboring property.
Where planting as a screen does not exist, dense
shrubs no less than four feet high shall be planted or a solid fence
installed between the pool rim and the lot lines.
Any person in violation of any provision of this chapter shall be liable for the penalties set forth in §
1-17 of the Code of the Village of Rye Brook and may be directed to comply with the provisions of this chapter. In addition, the Village Board may, in its discretion, direct that an application be made in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this chapter, which application may request an order directing the removal of a pool in violation of this chapter. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to relieve any person of the responsibility to comply with the preexisting provisions of Chapter
224 to the extent that a preexisting pool is not required to comply with provisions of this Chapter
224, and violation of the provisions of the preexisting Chapter
224 shall remain enforceable to such extent.
