pool two feet or more above ground and constructed of canvas, plastic or other
materials.
No in-the-ground swimming pool or a structure in connection with an
aboveground or below-ground swimming pool shall be constructed, built or erected
unless a building permit has been issued therefor by the Building Inspector
of the Village of Piermont.

to the side lines and lot lines than the front, rear and side setbacks required
by the Zoning Law of the Village of Piermont for the district in which the pool
is to be located.
If lights are used to illuminate the pool area, they shall be arranged
so that they are not a nuisance or an annoyance to the neighboring property.
They shall be so designed as to be directed on the pool or the adjacent area
