Page 3 Z B A Minutes January 22, 1985 · Chairman Roseberry asked if construction had already started on the pool. Mr. Steenburgh said they had not started construction. He said on their plot plan they showed the easement and showed 6 feet from the property line. Mr. Steenburgh said they do not know why the city requires an additional 5 feet. Mrs. Calvert stated it was to allow for large machinery to get in there to work. Mr. Grubb said there could be damage to the pool if they had to work there. · Donald Duncan came forward. He said he had not thought about that. He said the builder said they would have room for a pool when he bought the house. Mr. Schubert asked if the pool could be re-designed. Mr. Duncan said they only have 25 feet. he said the pool can only be 10 feet wide. Mr. Steenburgh stated the lot which joins this one also has a 5 foot easement so they would have 10 feet to work in and would not need any more. He said this easement is for an underground TESCO line. Mr. Royston asked if TESCO had signed it off. Mr. Steenburgh said yes TESCO had already approved their plans. He said if the TESCO line was overhead they would have to be 18 feet from it, but for underground, one can build right up to the easement. · Chairman Roseberry asked how large their house was. Page 4 Z B A Minutes January 22, 1985 · Mr. Duncan said 2,500 square feet. He said the house is too large for the lot. Mr. Steenburgh said the National Building Code will let you build a gunite pool within 4 feet of the property line. Mr. Schubert asked if they plan to have a walkway around the pool. Mr. Duncan said they plan to have one next to the house and garage. Mr. Grubb asked how close it was to the garage. Mr. Steenburgh said the pool is 4 feet from the garage. Chairman Roseberry asked if a pool is considered a structure. · Mr. Royston stated it was. Mr. Steenburgh said if the back property has an easement, they would have 10 feet and that would be all the they would need for large equipment. He said all other cities only require the 5 foot easement. Mr. Duncan said the only alternative would to make the pool only 9 feet wide and it would not be worth it. Chairman Roseberry opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, the Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. · There being no one wishing to speak, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. . . .
