The previous proposal had placed the swimming pool in an area designated as the <br />secopvi.’ry septic site on the property. Since the Public Hearing no testing has been completed on <br />the property to attempt to identify new sites. Rather the property owner has submitted a new site <br />plan that relocates the pool to the north property line. Staff s position is the site plan has been <br />altered therefore it is appropriate the application should return to the Planning Commission for <br />review prior to moving the request forward to the City Council. <br />This application is for an average lakeshore setback to permit construction of an inground pool at <br />540 North Arm Drive. For swimming pools, the setback is measured from the water basin to the <br />propert>' line. The size of the setback is set by the size of the basin, which in this case is less than <br />750 sq. ft. requiring a 10 foot setback to the property line. The pool itself (the water area) is <br />currently proposed at 15' from the side property line where 10' is required. The area surrounding <br />the pool is allowed to encroach into the sideyard setback provided it is not at a height greater than <br />that of the main floor of the home. No part of the pool would be allowed to encroach into the 5 <br />Drainage and Utility Easement which runs along the side propert)' line. <br />"2S/J Connie Piepho. 540 Sorth Arm Drise <br />I ariances <br />February 23. 2000 <br />page-!
