A. = ; Consideration Of A Request To Amend Section 9-3-2.E.19 Of The Zoning Ordinance Regarding The Permitted Location Of Swi= mming Pools

Administrator Benford stated = the residents at 142 Glen Road, which is a corner l= ot, have requested an appearance before the Plan Commission regarding section 9-3-2.E.19 of the Zoning Or= dinance. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen wish to exte= nd the a section of the existing wrought iron fence around their swimming pool by= six feet (6’), however the fence would extend into the side yard, which = is prohibited by the Zoning Ordinance. Section 9-3-2.E.19 states,

“Swimming pools, private, which comply with all other codes = or ordinances of the Village and are located that the swimming pool and all appurtenances, including, but not limited to, pumps, pool filters, water disinfection equipment, fences and sidewalks, are not less than 20 feet fr= om any lot line and do not, in the case of corner lots, occupy any portion of= the area formed by extending any corner side yard rearward to the rear lot line”.

As illustrated in the enclosed plans, the pool fence would occupy a portion of the area formed by extending the corner side yard rearwards to = the rear lot line. Therefore, the Village Architect did not approve the application. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen have requested that the Village amend the zoning ordinance to allow for the construction of a fence in the side yard based on the fact that they have = 100% opacity around the existing pool and fence.

Staff is seeking your comments on this request as Mr. and Mrs. St= ephen will be appearing before the Plan Commission on July 15, 200= 4.

Sandy Stephen, 142 Glen Road addressed the Commis= sion regarding her request. Ms. Ste= phen also provided color photos of her property and others in the Village, as w= ell as letters of support from her neighbors.= Ms. = Stephen stated that the Village Cod= e is too restrictive for homes on corner lots and requested that the ordinance = be amended to make the setbacks for swimming pools uniform throughout the Vil= lage.

Commiss= ioner Pathmann stated that the current ordinance is sound and should not be changed unless 100% opacity can be achieved. In no case should the pool, fence= or equipment be placed beyond the building lines. Commi= ssioner Pathmann suggested that the ordinan= ce could be amended to allow the pool and fence to extend no more than 6̵= 7; beyond the edge of the home, if 100% opacity is provided for 12 months.

Motion by Freeman, second by Morgan to amend the V= illage code to allow the pool and fence to extend no more than 6’ beyond the edge of the home, if 100% opacity is provided for 12 months

= On a voi= ce vote the motion carried unanimously.
