[Amended 6-19-2023 by L.L. No. 7-2023]
(1) 
Statement of purpose. The Board of Trustees recognizes that the regulation of the establishment, construction and operation of noncommercial private swimming pools is a matter of public importance, primarily as it concerns the issues of safety to children and animals, noise, aesthetics, lighting, odors, overflowing waters, location and the possible depreciation of property values by reason of improperly installed or maintained pools or having such pools placed in undesirable or adversely impactful locations. This section shall be read and construed as having regard to the foregoing statement of purposes.
(2) 
Standards. A noncommercial swimming pool shall be subject to the following provisions and restrictions:
(a) 
No more than one noncommercial swimming pool may be permitted as an accessory to any residential use.
(b) 
No noncommercial swimming pool is permitted on any lot consisting of less than 5,000 square feet.
