No swimming pool, including appurtenances thereto,
shall be erected closer than five feet from the rear and side property
lines, nor, in the case of a corner or through lot, closer than 25
feet from any property line along an abutting street except where
the required front setback is closer than 25 feet, but in no case

relating to public swimming pools and all rules and regulations now
or hereinafter enacted by the Village, the Nassau County Department
of Health or the Health Department of the State of New York.
Noise levels shall be kept to a reasonable limitation
so as to avoid creating disturbance to adjoining properties. No loudspeaker
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 if the noise level creates a nuisance to adjoining
properties.

No renewal of a permit shall be required nor
shall any additional fee be charged unless the Superintendent determines
that structural alterations to the pool have been made which would
require extensive reinspection or unless the pool permit is otherwise
revoked.
