Single family residential homes are a permitted use in the zone and there is an existing single-family home on the subject property. It is his intent per the revised plans submitted (Exhibit A3) to construct a semi-inground pool with associated deck surrounding the pool. He showed photos of the existing home and rear yard, noting the constraints in adding a rear yard pool and deck for the enjoyment of his family. He stated that the proposed plan is a significant aesthetic and functional improvement to the site.
Chairman Struncius inquired where the pool equipment will be installed? (Under the deck.)
John Dixon stated that if the applicant removed 4 rows of stairs and removed 2 feet of decking it would help reduce the coverage.
Ray Savacool commented that the deck can be reduced.
Chairman Struncius stated that 25% to 39% of coverage is quite an increase.
Mr. Davis encouraged also agreed that 39% of building coverage is a big pill to swallow.
