Case #2: Request for a Variance to Swimming Pool Setback Requirements; Case of Craig and Deborah Kosnopfal Presentation Associate Planner Geisler advised that Craig and Deborah Kosnopfal have applied for a five-foot variance from the minimum separation between a swimming pool and a well. She stated the property is located at 16300 Yolite Street NW. She further advised the Kosnopfals are requesting the variance due to the fact that their contractor installed an above ground swimming pool 15 feet from their well, instead of the 20 feet required by City Code. Current Code requires the 20-foot distance to ensure that service vehicles are able to access the well for any needed repair work. She indicated it is the opinion of the Building Inspection Division that there is sufficient room on the Kosnopfal's property to accommodate this concern. She stated a below ground pool located the same distance from the well could have implications for seepage into well water; however since the Kosnopfal's pool is above ground, water contamination is not a concern. She indicated Staff recommends the request for variance be approved.
