Project Introduction:
The Cooper Family is having an in-ground 16 x 40 vinyl liner pool, built by Perma Pools, built in
the back yard. We are now working to figure out where the pool equipment will be placed. We
have a smaller back yard with not many options. The current plan to stay compliant with code
has us locating the pool equipment right in front of our driveway.
Statement of Variance Request:
Requested variance of UDO section 5.02.C.7 Minimum 10-ft side yard setback for pool pump
equipment; 6-ft requested for a safer location for pool equipment.
Statement of support:
We are requesting our pool equipment to be placed 6’ off of the northern property line. The
original proposed location was 29’ off the southern property line. This location would be right
in front of our driveway leaving an always present opportunity to hit the equipment with an
automobile. Furthermore, the pool equipment would be seen from the street. Our requested
position would be out of the way of any vehicles and not be able to be seen from the street.
The proposed new 6’ location would be a safer place regarding utilities. The pump and heater
require both gas and electricity. The original location at 29’ off the southern property line
would cause piping, wiring, etc. to be trenched from one side of the house to the other. This
would go over the main powerline to our house. The newly proposed location would have the
equipment being placed next to our AC unit in very close proximity to the needed utilities.
The neighbor to our north has their pool equipment off their southern property line. Our
proposed location will be near where their equipment is located. Both the north side of our
house and the south side of 12115 Castle Row Overlook have no windows, doors, or outdoor
living spaces. Furthermore, all adjacent neighbors have signed their support in this location
(see below).
The pool equipment is some of the newest programable multispeed pumps built to be quiet
and efficient. These pumps run quiet and only as needed. This is a variable speed pump
requiring water to be turned over only 2 to 3 times a day, so the pump will run at a whisper.
See attached brochure.
This request will allow our family and neighbors to enjoy our home and new pool in a more
quiet, aesthetically pleasing environment in the beautiful Brookshire neighborhood. We
appreciate your consideration and hope you will support this request.
Let’s continue to make Carmel the beautiful city it is.
