A.
For the purpose of computing the building area, the
required yards and the distances from the lines of the lot, the pool
apron or platform along the side or end of a swimming pool, the base
for the springboard or diving platform and the foundation for the
purifying apparatus, if any, shall be included.
B.
The pool walkway surrounding any or all sides of the
pool may encroach into the side or rear yard up to five feet into
setback and must be properly surrounded with planting so as to block
the view from neighboring properties.
[Added 6-14-2007 by L.L. No. 8-2007]
No swimming pool or part thereof shall be constructed
in the front yard.
All swimming pools shall be constructed in accordance
with standard practice.
Each pool shall be provided with permanently
installed facilities for the complete draining thereof. Such facilities
shall be entirely separate from the house drains and house sewer.
In no case may the contents of the pool be permitted to discharge,
directly or indirectly, into a street or public sewer or public drain
or catch basin or in, upon or under the land of another person without
his written consent or in such a way as to adversely affect the functioning
of the house drains or house sewer of another property.
All connections with the public water supply
shall be made by a duly licensed plumber in conformity with the Plumbing
Code and the rules and regulations of the Long Island Water Corporation.
Such connections shall be made in such a way as to prevent any water
from the swimming pool from entering the public water supply system.
In times of drought or water shortages, the Board of Trustees may
direct that the use of the swimming pool be discontinued and that
all connections with the public water supply system be broken until
further order.
[Amended 9-11-2008 by L.L. No. 9-2008]
A.
There shall be erected and maintained a swimming pool
fence enclosing the portion of the area upon which such pool shall
be installed. Such fence shall be either a quality timber stockade
fence, wrought iron or wrought aluminum in accordance with the following
specifications:
(1)
Wrought iron or wrought aluminum. Said fence shall
extend from the ground to a height of not less than five feet, with
top and bottom rail, posts spaced not more than eight feet on center
and set to extend three feet below grade in an eight-inch diameter
concrete footing. The fence itself shall be fastened to posts and
rails so that the bottom of the fence is not more than one inch above
grade. Fencing material shall be fastened securely to posts and rails.
(2)
Timber fence. Said fence shall extend from the ground
to a height of not less than five feet with two horizontal rails on
the pool side. Posts shall be spaced not more than eight feet on center
and set to extend four feet below grade. The frame design shall produce
a rigid structure. Fabric coverings and/or fence panels shall be securely
mounted and fastened to the frame and shall be not more than one inch
above the grade. All fence materials shall be the number one grade
of the type used or chosen.
B.
Every gate in the fence enclosing such pool, except
an opening through the dwelling or other main building of the premises,
must be secured by a lock, which can be opened only with a key from
the outside and without a key from the inside, with a spring or other
device to keep said gate securely closed and locked at all times when
the owner or a responsible occupant of the premises is not present
at such pool.
C.
The New York State Building Code shall prevail whenever
such ordinance is more stringent than the Village Code.
[Amended 6-12-1969; 2-11-1982 by L.L. No. 1-1982]
A.
Such fence shall be not less than four feet and not
more than five feet in height above ground level and shall have no
more than two openings for ingress and egress.
B.
Each of said openings shall be equipped with a self-closing
gate with a self-latching device designed to keep, and capable of
keeping, such gate securely closed at all times when not in actual
use.
C.
Such gate shall be provided with a lock which can
only be opened by a key to permit entry from without.
D.
Each gate, door, latch and lock at all times shall
be maintained in good working order, and each gate shall be kept closed
and locked at all times when the pool is not in use.
E.
The Building Inspector is hereby empowered to approve
alternate methods for closing and locking the said gates which provide
equal or greater protection.
If the use of the swimming pool should be discontinued
or if the swimming pool should, at any time, be in bad condition,
the owner will, on demand, fill in the pool and excavation to grade
and will not restore the pool to use except upon a further application
for a building permit.
This Article, as amended so as to read as above
stated, shall apply to all swimming pools whenever constructed, including
swimming pools constructed after the adoption of Ordinance No. 78
on May 10, 1962, and swimming pools constructed prior to that date
which were required to comply with the provisions of said ordinance
after May 15, 1963, without prejudice, however, to any variances granted
by the Board of Appeals.
The provisions of this Article shall also apply to a portable or removable wading or swimming pool and any hot tub which contains or is designed to contain water having a depth of 18 inches or more in any part thereof, with the following exception: In the case of such a pool, the exterior wall or side of the pool, to the extent that it is located above the surface of the ground and had the height specified in § 145-54, may be considered as part of the fence or wall required by this article. Any stairway or ladder giving access to the pool will be considered as an opening for ingress and egress and must comply with the provisions of § 145-54 in respect to gates and other requirements.
