In any residential district no outdoor water
pool shall be constructed, maintained or used except in conformity
with this article.
No pool shall be built, constructed or maintained
except of materials having adequate strength to retain the water contained
therein. They shall be designed in accordance with sound engineering
practice and the applicant shall furnish complete plans, data and
specifications to enable the Building Superintendent to evaluate the
structure.
Water overflowing from the pool, and when the
pool is emptied the water therefrom, shall be disposed of on the owners'
land and restrained from flowing on the land of any adjoining property
owner or into any street. The applicant shall show in his application
the plan for the disposal of water.
Such pool shall be chemically treated in a manner
sufficient to maintain the bacterial standards established by the
provisions of the New York State Sanitary Code relating to public
swimming pools.
No loud speaker device which can be heard beyond
the property lines of the premises on which any swimming pool has
been installed may be operated in connection with such pool, nor may
any lighting be installed in connection therewith which shall throw
any rays beyond such property lines.
Excluded from the provisions of this article
shall be outdoor ice skating rinks or surfaces of water used only
for ice skating, and water storage tanks when such tanks are completely
enclosed by the principal material of their construction. Access doors
to the interior of such tanks shall be securely locked except when
personally attended by a regular employee or the owner.
If the pool is abandoned, the owner or occupant
of the premises shall arrange to remove the depression and return
the surface of the ground to its original grade and approximately
in the same condition as before the pool was constructed, and he shall
further notify the Building Superintendent of the abandonment so that
an inspection of the site may be made and the records of the permit
be marked accordingly.
