THE APPLICANT, NOEL ANDERSON, <br />SEEKS A VARIANCE TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A PORTION OF A <br />SWIMMING POOL WITH DECK WITHIN THE SIDE YARD. THIS VARIANCE IS BEING <br />SOUGHT UNDER THE TERMS OF SECTION 106-192 (b) (2) OF THE CODE OF <br />ORDINANCES. <br /> <br />A. STAFF PRESENTATION <br /> <br />Masood Malik presented the Staffs Report. The applicant, Mr. Noel Anderson, is <br />requesting approval to construct a swimming pool at 214 Jamie Court. Mr. <br />Anderson's request for a building permit was denied. The swimming pool design, as <br />proposed by Blue Haven Pools, does not comply with the City ordinance <br />requirement. Due to the narrowness of the yard directly behind the house and the <br />unusual shape of the rear yard, a portion of the pool was designed to extend into the <br />side yard. This exception is being requested under the terms of Section 106-192 (b) <br />(2) of the City's Code of Ordinances. <br /> <br />Twenty-four property owners located within 200 feet of the subject tract were sent <br />notification of the public hearing. Four responses were received favoring and none <br />opposing the request. <br /> <br />B. PROPONENTS <br /> <br />Acting Chairman Capen swore in Mr. Noel Anderson, of 214 Jamie Court. Mr. <br />Anderson addressed the Board favoring the request. Mr. Anderson advised that he <br />wanted to construct a swimming pool for him and his grandchildren to enjoy. <br /> <br />Acting Chairman Capen swore in Mr. Sam Williams, representative for Blue Haven <br />Pools. Mr. Williams addressed the Board favoring the request. Mr. Williams <br />answered various questions from the Board regarding the shape of the swimming <br />pool. <br /> <br />C. OPPONENTS <br /> <br />There were none. <br />
