As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
BARRIER
A fence wall, building wall or combination thereof which
completely surrounds the swimming pool and obstructs access to the
swimming pool.
SWIMMING POOL
A portable or permanent swimming pool or tank, artificially
constructed, installed and maintained, used primarily for bathing
or wading as defined by the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention
and Building Code.

[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
No swimming pool or wading pool shall be built, constructed, erected or placed nearer to the side, rear or front lot lines than the side, rear or front setback lines required by Chapter
350, Zoning, of this Code. No swimming pool or wading pool shall be built closer than 15 feet to any property line. The edge of an in-ground pool is from the concrete, not the water's edge.
The design of all barriers shall comply with
the provisions of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building
Code.
No person shall leave a wading pool uncovered
and unattended in such a location or in such a manner as to create
a hazard to children living in the neighborhood.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
All drainage for swimming pools shall be so
designed as not to interfere with the domestic sewer systems and water
drainage systems that are part of the neighboring properties.
In considering an application under §
300-2C of this chapter, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall apply the requirements of this chapter and shall set other reasonable requirements which shall be consistent with the proposed use of the property and the existing use of the neighboring properties. The Zoning Board of Appeals may require that the drainage system for such pools be approved by the Town Building Inspector and may require that the filtration and chlorination system of said pool be of adequate design and capacity so as to protect the safety and health of the users of the pool and the general public of the Town of Webster.
Any and all persons who shall violate any of
the provisions of this chapter or who shall fail to comply therewith
or shall fail to comply with any order issued thereunder or shall
build in violation of any detailed statement of specifications or
plans submitted and approved thereunder or any certificate or permit
issued thereunder shall severally, and for each and every such violation
and noncompliance respectively, be subject to a penalty of $25 for
each and every refusal to comply with an order and for each and every
day that a violation exists, as the case may be.
Sections
300-5 and
300-6 herein shall apply to existing pools, and owners of said pools shall have 60 days to comply with these sections or to apply to the Town Board to waive the requirements of these sections.
