as follows:
Any structure intended for swimming or recreational bathing

shall be posted conspicuously on the premises before installation.
No building permit for the installation of a swimming pool shall
be issued except upon an application which shall be accompanied by
a map or a survey showing the exact location of the pool with reference
to lot setback lines, the existing buildings and water supply system,
the drainage and water disposal system and all appurtenances pertaining
to the pool. The application shall also describe the manner and method
of disposal of wastewater.
Any application and ensuing installation or removal of a swimming pool shall also be subject to the provisions of Article I and Article II of Chapter 89 of this Code. In instances of a conflict between Chapter 89 and this chapter, the provisions of this chapter shall govern. In addition, such application, installation or removal shall be in compliance with the laws and regulations of New York State and the Onondaga County Department of Health.
Swimming pools shall be allowed only in rear yards as set forth in § 165-34B of this Code.
Each application shall be accompanied by a fee in § 89-23 of this Code.
