Private swimming pools shall be permitted in any residential
district, provided that there is an existing residence on said lot
and the following regulations are complied with.
In-ground swimming pools shall be completely enclosed by a fence
of not less than four feet in height. Said fence shall have a gate
with a self-closing latch located inside the complex to control access
to the pool area. Aboveground pools less than four feet in height
shall be similarly fenced. Aboveground pools which are four feet or
more above the ground shall not require a fence, except that any steps
leading to the pool deck shall be enclosed by a gate that may be securely
fastened and locked. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a fence shall
be required if the walls of the pool are so located as to provide
a means by which the wall of this pool can be climbed and entry gained
to the deck of the pool.
No permit shall be issued for such pool unless the applicant
can show that the proposed drainage of such pool is adequate and will
not adversely interfere with the property of others, with public highways
or with area drainage facilities. No pool shall drain into the village's
sanitary sewer system.
Lights erected, operated or maintained in connection with a
swimming pool shall be located in such a manner so as to minimize
the glare onto adjacent properties.
Service drop conductors and any other open overhead wiring shall
not be installed above the swimming pool or an area surrounding the
swimming pool which extends 10 feet horizontally from the pool edge,
diving structures, observation stands, towers or platforms. Service
conductors shall be enclosed in ground fault interrupter boxes and
appropriately grounded.
A filtering system shall be installed in all pools requiring
in excess of 1,760 gallons of water to fill an area approximately
10 feet in diameter by 36 inches in depth.
Building and zoning permits shall be required for all swimming
pools having an area greater than 100 square feet or a depth greater
than 18 inches regardless of whether the pool is above or below ground.
Applications for swimming pool permits shall comply with these
regulations and all applicable requirements of the State of New York.
Where the regulations of the village and state are inconsistent, the
more restrictive requirements shall govern.
