Problem
Many homeowners have been asking about our community’s swimming pool policy. This policy clarifies what is and is not permitted.
POLICY
All new or replacement Structures, or any modification to an existing Structure, are prohibited without written Board approval and must be submitted to the Architectural Review board for approval.
In-ground pools are allowed to be installed on a Lot with written Board approval. The submission must include a to scale drawing of the pool and all components, features, equipment, and recreation devices that the Owner desires to install. They must conform to local/state/federal zoning and building codes. Permitted pool structures that will be considered are Fiberglass, Concrete, Gunite, or a vinyl liner with galvanized steel walls. They must follow the existing set-back rules that are outlined in the Deed Restrictions (for example 12.5 feet from the side yard lot line) and do not infringe on existing easements. Permits from the County and/or Township must be obtained. Proper fencing surrounding the pool must be installed.
Above Ground Pools: Only temporary pools complying with the Declaration’s requirements may exist on a lot above grade. No above ground pools deeper than 18”. No above ground pools will be allowed that utilize filtration or that is designed by the manufacture to utilize filtration. All above ground pools must be moved to a different lot location at least weekly to keep mosquitos from breeding in the pools and the killing of grass.
