Proposed Design

To leave concrete sides all the way up to support existing concrete pad on surface And not demo 18” below grade.

Appeal Decision

Demo floor of pool to required size and allow pool sidewalls to remain: Granted provided the pool walls are flush with the final grade and a copy of this appeal is recorded on the deed prior to building permit final.

The Administrative Appeal Board finds with the conditions noted, that the information submitted by the appellant demonstrates that the approved modifications or alternate methods are consistent with the intent of the code; do not lessen the health, safety, accessibility, life, fire safety or structural requirements; and that special conditions unique to this project make strict application of those code sections impractical.
